MinusPi (she/they)

As much as I love it, it just doesn’t work for some people or situations.

People probably know a word based on it, unscrupulous, meaning having or showing no moral principles

It baffles me that this was ever not the case.

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen

I ate the onion for a moment. It genuinely sounds like something he’d say while rambling nowadays.

Nah. The voting system is a great way to filter out bullshit, spam, etc. It doesn’t always work, but the wisdom of the crowd is real.

For many office workers, it would be about the same.

It’s about damn time

I don’t care whose fault it is, it’s obnoxious and I don’t want to bother with it. Lately though, it seems like everything is only being released as a flatpak app despite those issues.

Everything is ever so slightly broken in a way that I just can’t ignore. Personalization doesn’t quite work. Permissions are overwhelming and usually lead to silent failures. Integration with the rest of the system is weak at best.

I’m honestly so sick of everything being sandboxed. The security is not worth the hassle.

It’ll be difficult for a while until someone figures it out and then it’ll be easy again. It’s just an arms race.

Documentation and testing are fundamental parts of writing code.

Yep. I got a very similar result using almost the exact title as the prompt.

I’m American, but I can’t find a place to rent that doesn’t demand an income of 3x rent. Is that not a thing in Canada?

The only right answer.

Security through obscurity doesn’t work. These systems need to be actually robust, which is only trustworthy with open source

You really think the trolls would pass up on this golden opportunity?

Oh look, things are getting worse again. I’m just numb to it at this point, it’s all I’ve ever really known.

I currently only have a craptop, but I’ve settled on naming them after elements, vaguely based on the power of the machine. My craptop is called hydrogen. I also have a full installation on a USB drive called quark, being less than a full machine/element.
