  • Back-end programmer for gig economy company describes how the sausage is made.

  • If OP were smart (and they seem like an intelligent enough person) they would've thrown in some false red herrings to make it not seem like them. Maybe they quit a while ago, or maybe they haven't handed in their notice yet. etc. Hopefully that's the case. And hopefully they reach out to a journo to get this reported on.

    On the other hand hopefully their red herrings don't get some other person falsely implicated.

  • folders is inherently a bad idea

    Jump

  • Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”?

    You can do this... Hard links. Neither file is more "canonical" than the other.

  • What are some of your stupidly easy sauces? (Emphasis on the "stupidly easy".)

    Jump

  • Sauces for what? A lot of sauces you can buy pre-made and are perfectly acceptable—also some sauces you would not normally make yourself, e.g. soy sauce.

    Sauces as in dipping sauces, I normally use pre-made hot sauce.

    You can also make a lot of passable pasta sauces very easily. One way is to fry up garlic, chilli, and any other aromatics you like in a pan. Add white wine. Add parsley. Add pasta water. Add spaghetti (or other pasta).

    Another pasta sauce I like that's very easy to make is just putting silken tofu and miso paste into a blender/food processor and blending until creamy smooth. There should not be any chunks; it should be completely smooth and creamy. If you see any lumps at all, keep blending—it will get smooth. That makes for a good creamy vegan sauce you can put on pasta or other things.

  • What do people love about Rust?

    Jump

  • Why not? Of course people who make something (in this case, a programming language) are going to promote what they make and share praise they've received. It's a pretty normal thing to do. They're not trying to obscure the fact that they're the Rust Foundation—it's on the Rust blog.

  • estimated audit backlog: 67560 lines

    Jump

  • That's different to developing software. As a developer you are in large part responsible for ensuring that your software doesn't compromise your users' security. It's reasonable to not want to distribute software that may contain malware or just shitty code that is full of vulnerabilities or bugs.

  • It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"

    Jump

  • They should be pretty on it for security updates. Librewolf is also hardened compared to upstream Firefox so if security is a concern, you're probably better off using the fork anyway.

    Jump

  • If it's so easy to "use wrong" then it's badly designed software.

  • It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"

    Jump

  • Nobody's saying it's mandatory. People don't want their web browsers to be full of bloated AI slop. Why should there be the AI components of Firefox on my hard drive if I'm never going to use them? Why should my web browser be full of low quality features I'll never use? It's enshittification. Not to mention the very quote you're pasting specifies that it's opt-out, not opt-in.

    Jump

  • It increases the workload for fork devs the more crap they have to remove from upstream and the more the fork deviates from upstream.

  • I don't know what websites you're using, but default uBlock Origin works completely fine with all the websites I visit, and it doesn't use AI. It just uses blocking rules.

  • GUI library for C?

    Jump

  • If you use a gtk theme they look fine. Most Linux users will have a gtk theme.

  • GUI library for C?

    Jump

  • GTK? Depends on how important cross-platform support is for you. I've heard GTK programs don't look great on Windows, but it does support Windows. GTK is written in C as well—Qt is in C++ so that might be where some of your problems are coming from, I've not tried making any kind of GUIs in C though.

  • Tips/Resources on the Shell.

    Jump

  • I would not say that reading a book is the way to go about it. At least the way I learned was just through using my computer like normal, and naturally I ended up using the terminal for some things e.g. updating packages, doing simple operations like moving files around, etc. I don't think it's a good idea to specifically try to "learn the command line" as a directed/targeted goal, because like you said you could end up learning a bunch of stuff you never use.

  • Judge hands Lambo.com to Lamborghini after ruling owner acted in bad faith

    Jump

  • I just did.

  • Judge hands Lambo.com to Lamborghini after ruling owner acted in bad faith

    Jump

  • I wasn't talking about any laws. I was talking about one specific cybersquatter.

  • Judge hands Lambo.com to Lamborghini after ruling owner acted in bad faith

    Jump

  • We're not talking about an individual, we're talking about Lamborghini. I think cybersquatting Lamborghini is fine.

  • 700+ self-hosted Git instances battered in 0-day attacks with no fix imminent

    Jump

  • For personal use? To automate tasks you do or solve a problem you have? Or people use git repos for notes and the like too

  • Linux traffic has grown 22.4% in PH this year

    Jump

  • I thought it was not recommended to run on bare metal? There are some other obscure OSes that can run fine on bare metal (although Serenity is not really obscure in the foss space, only in the mainstream)

  • Woman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man's Meta Smart Glasses on Subway

    Jump

  • Unfortunately it's unlikely for this to be implemented in a privacy-respecting way. Arguably, even if it never "phones home", it's always going to be a more risky option—e.g. police can seize the glasses and see who you've seen, whereas they can't seize your brain and see what faces you've seen. You might be fine with that risk, but will everyone you ever meet be fine with it?

  • Selfhosted alternatives to Discord with screensharing?

    Jump

  • Yeah that's fair. nheko is themable with qt themes though; I have it set to use my system qt theme. But I agree the UI gets a bit clunky. I think I just picked nheko cause it seemed the most feature complete when I looked, but I've just been using it since then so maybe the meta has changed.
