  • Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field

    Jump

  • So over 40 years before systemd was initially released?

    I’m hearing a whole lot of mental gymnastics from both of y’all to explain away the “okay” fields while demonizing the (optional) “evil” fields.

  • Welcome screen? Systemd doesn’t have a welcome screen. And even if it did, why would it need anything other than username?

    Why does it need a field for location and email?

  • Why would it need to know your real name?

  • Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

  • Fair enough, I don’t use driving services so honestly don’t know what the experience is like.

  • The US bans all new foreign-made network routers

  • Ubiquiti may not be considered consumer with regards to this, but it’s pretty unclear so it’s a bit of a gamble.

  • You can’t arbitrarily trust any OpenID implementation. I could easily have authelia report that I am schnurrito and the app has no way to confirm that.

  • Could online age verification be done in a way that protects privacy and autonomy?

  • This just seems like a great way for your government to know every single thing you do online.

  • Booklore Alternatives/Forks?

    Jump

  • Really depends on when it was forked. I believe AI wasn’t used initially.

  • I’m sitting on calibre web and wondering the same thing. None of the offerings out there seem to be what I want, which is just a nice book download/upload interface that isn’t shit on mobile.

  • Unless it just causes the crop to cost more without any change in behavior.

  • “I know someone who only did a murder once and they locked them right up. Suggest you reset your opinions a bit.”

    Replace murder with any crime.

    If you don’t want to face the consequences, don’t do the action that begets the consequences.

    TLDR: don’t fuck around if you don’t wanna find out.

  • Your thoughts on Code Reviews

  • Whoop yeah good catch but I’ll leave it.

  • Your thoughts on Code Reviews

  • Yes, absolutely.

    “Never break main” is the same concept as “never get in a car accident.” Good in theory, but it’s no replacement for insurance.

    Everyone makes mistakes. PRs help catch those mistakes. Yes, bugs will still sneak in, no one is perfect, but a proper PR process is absolutely vital no matter the team size.

  • Why would the answer ever be anything other than 5?

    Let’s just go full boar hypothetical: Someone is trying to merge malicious code. Anything other than 5 means the malicious code gets merged.

  • Has a job ever baited and switched you? Tell me about it!

    Jump

  • Yeah titles are nothing. Technically I’ve never held a senior title but after the first decade I just kinda added it on my resume where appropriate. It’s more of a knowledge/experience thing than a responsibility thing anyway. Though I realize some places expect more from their seniors like mentoring or being pseudo lead.

  • Oof, shoulda taken that one to court. Thats an obvious dodge of equity payout.

  • HP realizes that mandatory 15-minute support call wait times isn’t good support

    Jump

  • If you swear or use certain words/phrases/tones there are absolutely some that put you into a higher priority queue. There are also some that immediately kick you into that queue the moment you swear, bypassing any info gathering and such.

    I’ve had to use it for things like Verizon which absolutely expects the LLM to be able to verify your account, but their account verification was broken. Swear at it a little and suddenly the account verification is no longer needed.

  • Yeah ran into that a month or so back with some service or other. Account was locked out, I told the prompt I was looking for an account unlock, I got to listen to “you can do most things by logging into your account at” for 45 minutes.
