IANAL but since they used the word “threatened” instead of “I’m getting sued”, no case is being filed.

Pretty sure that if they were actually getting sued they’d already be radio silent.

Windows 11 is fine. It looks less ugly than Windows 10 and has some nice things like a properly organized settings menu (finally).

Oh shit, amazing!

Huh? Which part?

Yeah what the hell is this title.

Why did Microsoft make VSCode? Well who knows, you can theorycraft about EEE all you want, and some of that may be true. The hard fact though is that VS Code replaced Atom with the sheer power of being way fucking better in every way and frankly good riddance. I am extremely glad to have a tool as good as VS Code at my disposal nowadays, something we didn’t have 5 years ago.

To be honest, the “configuration is an executed .php file” system does make some amount of sense in the context of PHP. When your app has to re-run everything to serve a web request, having to re-load the config (especially if it’s YAML, though JSON is less bad) is expensive. Re-running the PHP code, on the other hand, can be cached way better, in theory.

Of course, this is still all PHP’s fault in the end: the core problem here is that you need to re-run everything to serve a web request, without ability to pre-load state like configuration.

Honestly, just contribute to whatever software you’re already using! The most obvious example (that somebody else mentioned already) is Lemmy itself, but surely there are many other open source pieces of software that you use on a daily basis. If there’s something that annoys you, or think it could be improved… there you go.

At least, that’s how I got into programming.

Now require manufacturers to provide like 5 years of OS updates so devices aren’t insecure bricks once you get updates.

OR disallow banking apps from blocking custom ROMs/root, so you can just install your own updates ROM without losing updates.
