  • Centralized SSL certificate management?

    Jump

  • I’m looking for a way to both get a sub wildcard (I don’t know the exact wording but *.sub.domain.com would be an example) and push it into cloudflare. So a direct certbot install with manual distribution, while technically possible, sounds absolutely abysmal. I’d rather forget the entire idea than deal with that.

  • Literally the word perchance is on the list, in case anyone was thinking there might be a legit reason the blacklist exists.

  • Name before type: why 'age int' is better than 'int age'

    Jump

  • You do realize that in C# at least, these compile to strongly typed variables? Barring a major change, such as migrating from 16 to 32 bit, you know what those value types are, you’re just not having to write them out. It saves you from having to type “LongDescriptiveTypeDescriptionBecauseSomeoneWasOverlyVerboseInTheirNaming” which is a small but nice thing to have. We arent talking about dynamics here.

  • I'm somewhat ok with catering to a political filter in an instance/frontend, even if I prefer open inclusion.

    That isn’t what this was.

    He can claim it is all he wants, the list proves otherwise. As an example, the word “perchance” was in the list to hide content silently. Meaning this comment would be hidden in an unaltered tesseract front end, and the end user would have absolutely no idea, and no way to turn it off.

  • Er… okay, yes. That would be quite the annoyance, but thats a bit of an edge case in this instance. I’d also wager that current implementations of IDEs would allow you to intelligently replace int with Int16/Int32/Int64 depending on the context before migration. I believe Visual Studio proper has that as an option in its code analysis and cleanup tool. You can also do the same for var => string typing if I remember correctly.

    Jump

  • Not… really. I can kinda see where you’re coming from, but if you are assigning a .ToString() to a variable, the only type it could be is a string.

    It’s not guessing, it’s inference. You’ve provided enough information to know what the type is, so it is now that type. The moment you introduce ambiguity, such as var test = 1 there are many things that variable could be, so you can no longer infer its type.

    Inference is not guessing. Can it go wrong? Certainly! But its quite rare. And the solution in those rare cases is explicit typing.

  • Jesus dude you’re just comin at me with the insults, kinda ironic you’re calling me an asshole. 🤣

    Your article explicitly states they are banning the assholes. Which is good. It’s a very weird choice of article to back up your “meta knows the hardware is a problem” claim.

    Bottom line is, humans are assholes. This is known. They are assholes with all kinds of tech, according to you that includes Lemmy. They can also be creeps here. That doesn’t mean the tech itself is the problem.

    I’ll spell it out this time, a hammer can be used to break a window, does that mean we should ban hammers?

  • The article which does nothing to suggest meta glasses were actually an integral part to this? Again, cell phone in shirt pocket. Accomplishes the same thing. Or hell, a pen cam which is a thing that’s been around for decades and is a fraction of the cost.

    The problem is that an asshole decided to ignore the “no recording” request. There are dozens if not hundreds of discreet ways the asshole could have done this, in the same way there are dozens of tools you can use to break a window.

  • Microsoft responds to LG monitors installing McAfee ads on Windows

  • I mean, they absolutely do. You can usually get away with the generics but I’ve run across my fair share of monitors that support minimum resolutions until the appropriate driver is installed.

  • Fuck man, you’re right. Let’s ban cameras in general, they can be used for creepy things. Ban phones too, those can be used for creepy things.

    The tech is useful, and has potential to become much more useful in the future. Being a Luddite about the tech doesn’t solve the problem, it just ignores the assholes.

  • Microsoft responds to LG monitors installing McAfee ads on Windows

  • “Yeah, so we punished our end users because of something a manufacturer did.”

    Like, I get the sentiment. But “no pushing drivers” ain’t the solution.

    I also have to wonder if M$ can do that? If the drivers are being loaded by the monitor and not something like windows update, M$ has virtually no control over it.

  • <.< I mean, you’re as disallowed to stick you’re face in those places just as much as you’re disallowed to stick a camera. This feels like a “think of the children” argument.

    If I stick my phone in my shirt pocket, I can record and live stream it, how is the camera being mounted to my head any different?

    Like, I get it. People are assholes, and I 100% agree that is the case. But assholes have been recording themselves doing asshole things for decades, this isn’t new behavior, and it feels like its being used to vilify tech for existing.

  • [AIT] The Codeberg ban on LLM content

    Jump

  • Honestly, I am not effected by the decisions in any way, the issue I take is with the extremely vague wording, the fact that these two changes were made rather rapidly and seemingly just because they don’t like that type of project.

    What is the next project that harms their reputation? A torrenting application? An emulation application? Anything written in php?

    We wouldn’t and don’t take kindly to corpos using this kind of stuff, why would it be different here?

  • Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects

    Jump

  • This is arguably a worse situation then. They aren’t naming crypto as banned, they are naming a vague hand wave as banned. Literally anything can be interpreted as harming Codebergs reputation. Hell, is reputation defined, or is that something that can be decided on the fly? “Our reputation as an anti emulation company is being harmed so we have banned all emulator projects.”

    This is the kind of vague shit we get mad at corpos for, don’t give them a thumbs up for the exact same behavior.
