Punch the keys for god’s sake!

To me it reads like an AI generated article written to grab attention, and I spend a lot of time reading AI generated articles. Either the author has absolutely nailed the “sound like an AI” vibe, or very little effort was spent by an actual human to deliver this information.

I’ve cracked this code (at least for me)

Use Hyper-V to create a workspace VM, using your favorite OS.

Keep all business related things on the host:

• email
• instant mesenger
• meeting software
• MDM
• etc

Put all dev related thing in VM

• docker
• ide/text editor
• dev tools

Set up “enhanced sessions” with

• shared drives
• clipboard integration
• automatic monitor resizing

It isn’t easy, and a lot of the sotware used for deep integration is archived but it still works. But since Hyper-V is integrated with the windows kernel, you can achieve near-metal performance with minimal tweaking.

Best part? New laptop? Just export the VM onto it, you lose nothing.

This even works in Windows 11.

I have played the cat and mouse game of Docker for windows and WSL and been dissapointed time and time again. No more.

Free yourself. Escape Windows development pain. Carve out a palace of your own design from within the jail provided you, and make it the best dev environment for you.

You understand Sway is a passion project, distributed with source for free, and Windows is a comercial product licensed to you by a multinational corperation, right?

Dang bro, how much did you pay for it? I’d try to get my money back if I were you.

I mean…

And what I’m saying is it doesn’t take more time to opt out in my experience. Its just as quick to get manually verified as to be biometrically scanned.

¯\(ツ)/¯ maybe, but as long as I have the option and it’s not tedious to do so (which is the case), I’m gonna opt out and encourage others to do so. Fair enough if your perspective is you want to accept whatever new security theater data collection is implemented in exchange for some perceived convenience. Making your case here with me in this conversation has taken more effort on your part than opting out of facial recognition at the security checkpoint in an airport would have, and I find that fact amusingly ironic.

I’ve been in and out of DFW, BOS, and JFK since these facial recognition scanners went in and I can tell you with a great deal of confidence that there’s no additional wait time, or queue, or anything else if you opt out. There’s a TSA agent right next to the scanner who collects your ID whether you get scanned or not. That’s the same person who otherwise just checks it if you opt out. What are you even on about? Maybe its different at some airports, but I’ve been opting out every time I fly and it’s no big deal.

Actually no, they look at your face and your ID, make sure the information matches, and move you along. No secondary inspection, no difference except you didn’t get scanned with facial recognition. It’s the same process as before facial recognition was implemented.

Why even write that comment?

Yeah pretty much. It obviously depends on your company’s continuity priorities but you’re going to have a pretty hard time doing a better job of backing up databases and keeping them safe per dollar than Amazon does.

Oh not a troll, just a moron. How sad.

Are you a troll? Why would he lie about this? I’ve been on both sides of this, I self-hosted my email for over a decade, then just this year made the switch to proton. This guy isn’t lying, if you set up your DNS, DMARC, SPF, etc, properly, you don’t get the issues you’re describing unless the receiver has misconfigured or over-protected their inboxes. And surely you’re not thick enough to think the same line of code on Proton’s side is responsible for sending an upgrade link in the web-app, and in an email. That means it’s a separate issue, a different bug, if you could even call it that.

Its seems like you’re just angry and feel like yelling at anyone else that doesn’t coddle you and your particular perspective. They’re trying to share their knowledge with you and you’re getting angry at them for that. Aim your anger at those who actually deserve it.

Nice. Do drive next!

All good, I’ve been there too :)

My guy they (formerly I) know. After you’re hooked it feels out of your control. It becomes a mechanism your brain uses to alleviate stress or to relax. For me, for a long time, it helped me socialize, as I was alone in a new city, working a serving job. After it became a part of who I was, stopping wasn’t just ceasing buying and smoking cigarettes, it was now changing my identity and my personality.

I’ve quit now but I’m here to tell you its big ask of someone, and you shouldn’t judge folks who try and fail, but treat it as a vallient effort, and encourage them to try again.

I hear you though, having been a non smoker for a few years now I can smell it and I know what you mean. Just try to remember those are real people behind the addiction, and that for those of us old farts, some of us thought it made us look cool, and were led into it, despite the warnings.

Hey I’ve been there, and after reflecting on it, the truth is, (at least from my perspective), you don’t really, truely want it yet. Don’t take that as judgement, I’m certainly not in a place to judge, but I’ve kicked severeral multi-year addictions, and weed was one I had the pleasure of just “deciding to quit”. For me quitting weed came with breaking a friendship of the longtime smoking buddy I had, though after getting off of it and reflecting, I realize he was just using me as a convenient spot to store his weed. YMMV, but I think you got this, and hopefully my experience lends some light onto your difficulties with quitting.

Oh I thought that was an April fools joke! I’m pretty sure I saw something about it on April 1st on the homepage. Had no idea it was a real thing.

What the heck is archinstall?

Me too, though, while I’ve seen him be critical of tactics, admittedly I’ve never seen JCS do an entire episode about crimes committed by the police themselves.
