  • If Wikipedia is to be believed these people aren't following Islamic rules. I'd wager that this is once again an issue that stems from traditions made for people of a different time. I assume slaughtering animals used to be a common skill but today expecting the average untrained city dwelling man to correctly slaughter a goat once a year inevitably leads to a lot of needlessly suffering animals.

  • Reddit banned Paul McCartney over phone-free concert photos post in their subreddit

    Jump

  • Yes that happens, for some reason that user actively goes to FuckAI and bans people who posted there. I can only assume that they see disdain for AI as a personal slight.

  • Should I teach students who doesn't know computer science C or JavaScript first?

    Jump

  • I would go for something like Processing for students who are just trying to learn a bit of programming as an extra credit. The JS implementation is called p5.js. I would introduce a little bit of C later in the course once the students are familiar with basic programming concepts. That way you can show them what is happening behind the scenes without overwhelming them from the start.

  • Martin Fowler: ORM Hate

    Jump

  • I consider the ORM hate uninformed and misguided at best. Just like any other technology not all of them are created equally there are better ones and worse ones. I have used Entity Framework Core for years and have almost no complaints but If I only knew ORMs like NHibernate then I might have a different opinion.

  • WTF, a banana is a berry!!?

    Jump

  • Aubergines, cucumbers, kiwi, and citrusfruit are botanical berries as well. The correct answer is that berry should be seen as a culinary term just like fruit and vegetable.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • No alternative codecs wont do, the application we are building has a hard dependency on these specific dlls due to another dependency requiring them. It was also just one example of many excuse my hyperbole. Here is another one, try to get winget to work with a local package cache. You have to go to some third party developer for that. Want another one? How about debugging windows binaries in an offline environment. Reasonable requirement? Microsoft says no.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • Why is this arbitrarily "a whole different story" and who said anything about UWP, it's the media codecs we depend on. Windows 10 N offered an offline installer for that "optional feature" and now Microslop makes my life more difficult for no reason at all.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • Ok, where can I download the Media Feature Pack for Windows 11 N as an offline installer?

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • At my job we are working with a few air gapped Windows machines which is already really annoying because Microslop doesn't offer offline installers for anything related to Windows 11 anymore. I expect this to get even more difficult over time.

  • We Overhauled Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy - Another VC funded bait and switch

    Jump

  • I never said that you can remove a license retroactively. A CLA is an assignment of copyright from the contributor to the company. The only reason for a company to add a CLA to a project is to put a rug under the project which they will pull as soon as they gained a critical mass of users. It fundamentally undermines the social contract of open source development. These companies want to enjoy all the benefits of open source, like the market appeal and the free labour, but none of the drawbacks. A CLA is just one thing, a promise that the project will go non-free in the future.

  • We Overhauled Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy - Another VC funded bait and switch

    Jump

  • Let me introduce you to the magical concept of the CLA. It means they can do whatever they want with the project but you can not. You should never contribute to CLA projects.

  • My thoughts shopping around for a wiki solution

    Jump

  • Very very simple.

    Really? I find it quite feature packed for a notes taking app.

    Its an outliner, a colleague of mine basically lives in that thing.

    It's almost perfect for me but the browser based editing made it unusable because there is no way to unmap Ctrl + W in a browser and I can't live without my Vim bindings.

    This is the solution for normal people who don't spend n+1 hours tweaking their editor configuration.

  • Codeberg is cool but I would prefer not having all FOSS project centralised on another platform. In my opinion projects of the size of Godot should consider using their own infrastructure.

  • How fragile can you be? These jokes are incredibly tame.

  • AI controls is coming to Firefox

    Jump

  • They plan waste $130 million on AI bullshit. Imagine a fraction of that invested into the actual browser. I can't even eat as much as I want to vomit.

    No wonder Reddit has turned to shit

    Jump

  • I think there are some differences that make the fediverse more resilient to this. For example, the absence of cumulative account karma keeps out the reddit style karma farming. The ability to ban whole instances also makes it easier to kick out bad actors. Instance admins could also implement their own rules like switching to an invite based system to reduce bot spam. Also it seems to me that reddit is actively encouraging this kind behaviour to inflate their user statistics and there is no incentive to tolerate this kind of spam for a fediverse server admin.
