not scary at all

I have seen some juniors really shoot themselves in the foot with rebasing, and I’ve been there as well before. I agree it can be useful, but it definitely requires understanding of what is going on :P

When people do a bunch of bulk renames on every commit, then you get this kind of problem a lot. But yeah still not gits fault

POV: Your codebase undergoes a full refactor for every feature

Basically the idea is to separate your system packages and your applications.

The system packages are installed and updated “atomically” i.e. in transactions. If a transaction fails, results in a broken system, or you just don’t like it, you can rollback anytime.

Applications on the other hand are usually installed in a containerized form. Basically, flatpak. You should avoid installing applications through the system package manager.

CLI apps is where it all gets interesting, and usually people use distrobox, docker/podman or toolbx to run stuff in containers. Although the universal blue project comes with brew prepackaged for when you want CLI apps installed system-wide without juggling containers.

The benefit is that your OS and your apps are separate. No dependencies breaking or conflicting. And if something does break, well just roll back.

ngl this looks fake as hell

I agree with everything, but want to add that 5% is actually a huge incentive and I’m very very optimistic about the future of linux gaming.

any idea what the re in grep stands for?

Yeah this is sad. Aside from his normal MEP duties, Breyer did incredible journalistic work on the EU plans on centralizing incredible power and creating a digital hellscape in Europe. They are planning to go full CIA on us.

They call themselves that

On Android you can just install another keyboard if your current one doesn’t have a setting for this.

If I had to guess a business case, I’d say that predictive text as a feature gives you a “legitimate reason” to send your typing data to Google or whoever to train the prediction engine, and they want that data.

Don’t be evil

don’t tell the tankies!

Pretty sure they are seals, not gophers.

according to the meme it’s just compiling, no other build steps… suspicious

why are you using three different distros to build a single application?

having a market share like that is a form of monopoly. It’s obviously different from absolute monopoly, but they wield too much power as is.

And to be fair, running games on linux without steam is definitely more tricky than without.

That’s still a monopoly. The article says it too, if you don’t put your game on steam, your sales suffer. It’s similar to how spotify has a monopoly on the music streaming market.

I’m not saying Steam is the worst thing out there right now. I’m saying monopoly is inherently bad, and 30% is a crazy high cut even including the features you mentioned.

Agreed, shitty read. The 30% cut is crazy high though, and IMO the best point the article has. Steam DOES have a monopoly and that’s inherently bad

It’s private and you can verify that, not to mention it’s non-profit. WhatsApp claims to be private but Meta has broken promises before and doesn’t let us look at source code. It’s not a “tiny bit”

imagine if it like, read that file and gave you a stack trace

Oh yeah Codium all the way.

I’m in Europe and VS Code is very popular, JetBrains stuff is around too tho. Both are bloated but VS Code is still way lighter.

ControlD has free resolvers

stop giving him a platform I’m so fucking done hearing about Musk on Lemmy every second post

ugh that is a BANGIN album

is there a text version or summary of this?

Yeah the engine for Control D is the same as for windscribe just with more bells and whistles, and loads of configuration tools on the paid tier. It’s great for smartphones which circumvent ad blocking by putting stuff in apps rather than browsers.

https://controld.com/free-dns has free DNS resolvers that do the same thing as a pihole. you just go to your phones “Private DNS” setting and at it there. this will work for non-browser apps as well!

thanks!

thanks! As somebody who never used tumblr, what’s the vibe?

I’d be more interested in why than how

Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.
