I try not to over-react to the Internet's Outrages Of The Day, but it should be instantly disqualifying for a CEO of a company that sells reliability and security to tell employees that careful testing is "loser thinking". And if not, it should instantly disqualify that company's products from your consideration.
What the hell, Proton?
@mcc that also presumes that (1) wants that in a way that actually survives contact with the bill. Consumers notoriously want alternatives to Walmart etc right up until they see the ticket price.
@donw i think the difference between software and walmart is people have the option of just not using software, whereas walmart usually sells staples people need to live
@ChadF @adam @dave agree we use Stripe for all our payments. Alby is our legacy partner. We are going to switch from L.402 to X.402 - we will run them in parallel for a while. Again we are reading all the docs and will add support next week but how we then expose that to users and podcasters is something we need to understand before the rollout.
April 7th, 2018: after a farce trial, Lula handed himself to the police. He respected the institutions and the judicial power also when wronged by them.
October 27th, 2026: Bolsonaro used his Italian passport to escape corruption trials in Brazil after his Brazilian passport got confiscated, asked Trump for protection, and claimed to be the true president of Brazil despite losing an election.
Fascism is cowardice disguised as strength.
Why should Toronto pay for Ford’s latest unforced error?
They're "fixing" the program by recycling less, so corporations can keep using lots of plastics without picking up the cost.
We will pay more taxes for increased landfill use.
Found a games programming book in the back of my office bookcase....
ZX81 games! M mmmm!
what if they came out with mambo #6
North Korea trying to steal $6.3 billion from #Binance because 1(!!) laptop was compromised LOL
Can we please stop the crypto bullshit that only enriches the wrong people while burning the planet we live on

@stux how would the billionaires get richer if they don't sell you magic beans for real money?
This week, a ceasefire brokered by Melania Trump is finally getting starving civilians out of Oleshky, a Russian-occupied town in southern Ukraine.
Russia wrote this part of Ukraine into its constitution in 2022, so by Moscow’s own rules these people are “its citizens.”
When Ukraine’s military dropped almost 4 tonnes of food by drone, Russian troops seized the packages and abducted locals who picked them up.
Emblogginated "Old Ideas" --> https://blog.fogus.me/thoughts/old-ideas.html
@fogus Looking for ideas in the past and understanding it is how software development will move from a fashion driven field into engineering. There is so much arrogance about how anything new is better without knowing the past

I had a look yesterday, very cool, especially the Fediverse catalog: https://catalog.catodon.rocks/ !

Disclaimer: I'm not a Proton customer, and I guess that's not likely to change any time soon.
The Realtek 10GbE chip on the M5 Studios is acting up for me, I think started in 27.2. Randomly seems to get in a state where I need to change link speed to get it to work properly again.
@paul since day one with my M2 Studio it’s randomly dropped to sub 10Mbit/s speeds a few times a week. I got it replaced under warranty and it happened on the replacement. I now run a cron job that resets the network connection each night at 3am and it hasn’t been an issue since.
Now that the podcast is funded by private equity and Saudi money, we've had to make some cuts...

Wondering about Kratky... specifically the Kratky method. GF loves peas, and I would like to grow them for her.
Is it possible? Or am I hallucinating this? Some dwarf variety could potentially grow hydroponically...
#solarpunk and tagging @tinker because he made me think of this in the first place!
Tea, Earl Grey, hot
@czarbucks Trees don't change color here, lol. Except the poison oak 😂
In general, it's very plain that there are *both* (1) people who expect that the appropriate amount of AI code assistant use by the people who write their software is "literally none", and (2) software engineers who do not want to use AI code assistants in writing their code, but can no longer find jobs willing to employ them to do so. The trick we need to solve is to somehow connect (1) to (2). (Assuming it is still possible for humans to fund humans to do labor. That might not be true anymore)

I joked a while back that large language models are the solution to the fermi paradox. Because eventually intelligent life evolves to the point of inventing them; and then the mass economic collapse and mass deskilling causes the planet to regress below the point of detect-ability again.
So funny right?
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
