Pika

I know netflix does, I would assume that youtube does the same.

I never knew there was an xkcd comic for this. I shall be saving this link for my next late night drinking development session.

I have a similar experience when I code while drinking.

I’ll come up with the most insane ways of doing it that surprisingly look really clean… but when I wake up in the morning it’s a “how did I even think of this and how does this work”

Yes, they are essentially file snapshots. Shadow copies in a Microsoft environment at least are basically file history without using file history. So when you modify a file when it’s enabled, it makes a copy of the last version of the file.

But since it’s not meant to be a actual backup solution, it’s meant to be on a file-by-file basis. I think that means they had to go through and manual restore n a file by file basis

for a senior engineer position though? That seems counterproductive. I would expect it of one of the entry levels or non-it but forcing a windows ecosystem on a development or engineering sector screams red flag to me.

I wouldn’t want one, I didn’t become a pilot for a reason, no interest in personal or commercial flight

Honestly, even in a competent administration, this scares me because of the fact that it’s bypassing the certification process altogether. We’ve already seen the danger caused with certified aircrafts, and now you’re telling me you want to bypass the certification process altogether.

oh God, please no. We can’t even manage driving on one-way roads and you want us to take to the skies as well.

I’m all for a better way of transporting that might actually get rid of our gridlock areas, but I feel like allowing unlicensed, uncertified VTOLs taxis into our already congested transportation areas is not the solution to this problem.

Not that this has ever stopped them before, but I would be interested on their attempt at remaining compliant with data protection laws as I feel like locking GDPR right to be forgotten behind a facial ID scan would be seen as an unneeded blocker in order to delete your account.

Yeah, I can see how that’d be an issue. I’m not a fan of how downvotes work on the platform myself

Huh, I never knew that instance had downvotes disabled. That actually is pretty cool.

If I can look at a comment and perceive it as helpful, funny or overall a positive addition to the discussion at hand, then I will like/upvote it.

Being said the inverse is not true. If a comment is negative or takes away from the conversation at hand, I will likely ignore it or leave a comment in response to the comment/post

I very rarely will downvote a comment or post, due to a combination of the fact that I have the system disabled completely on my end, so I don’t even have a button or the ability to see it. and I find down-voting with how it’s implemented on Lemmy counter-productive to a healthy ecosystem. I had the same issue with Reddit when I was on that platform as well.

I run Debian 13 and I will use apt repositories whenever possible and I avoid flatpak with a passion.

My flowchart is:

1. App Image if the application supports auto updating or if it’s a temperary app
2. Apt repository
3. Deb file
4. App Image (when previous didn’t apply)
5. Source
6. Flatpak

My main reasoning for it is strictly ease of use. I find flatpaks while I’m sure makes it easier on the developers making it to be super bloaty and take up more system resources, While causing more restrictions and annoyances during configuration due to their enhanced security setup.

The only time I really don’t use a repo if it’s available is if the program itself updates on its own, or updates super frequently such as Discord, which I got annoyed enough at that I had to make my own update script that to check if there’s an update and then auto update it, because I got sick of the Discord has an update message every other day.

I watched most of season one of a loner’s life in another world which was surprisingly good even if cliche, And I also watched no game, no life, zero for the first time, which was pretty cool, had a “but why” storyline but I liked it.

While I fully agree with what you’re saying here, and that it should be stated, I personally believe that the only thing he’s done here is said the quiet part out loud.

Like other major projects of are stating that the main reason they don’t do a full AI ban is due to the fact that it’s increasingly difficult to be able to look at someone’s code contributions and say, yes, that’s AI versus that’s a human.

I recently made the swap-off of Sublime Text to Visual Studio Code because I was sick of the degradation in Sublime Text and there wasn’t any decent alternatives with the depreciation of atom a few years back.

I was amazed to find that OOtB visual code has a full on AI assisted coding setup with Ai assisted auto completion and suggestions and even has a chat box to talk with the model of choice. This setup by default doesn’t add any credits or attribution, and while isn’t anywhere near as intequate claude setup by default, it’s still AI assisted writing.

The only thing the public brigades are actually doing is making contributors hide that they are using it, which increases the problem like you mentioned.

A much better solution would be people stepping up to the plate and helping these projects, but it’s far easier to complain. I firmly understand why contributors have resorted to hiding the fact they use it, there’s far too much public outcry without enough support to not on most open sourced or publicly supported projects.

I don’t think in this case it will really matter since as it’s GPL anyway, so the worst case scenario is some private company takes the code and tries to use it without giving back but I can see the issue with other projects or if they wanted to use a more restrictive license

I want to add that renouncing your citizenship also isn’t a valid option for many during the stages they talked about

One of the hard requirements for renouncing your citizenship is having citizenship in another country, and that is easier said than done in many countries. Like for example, Canada, you have to be a perm resident in the country for four years and also have lived there for the past six, Mexico requires 5 years. most of the EU has 5-10 years as their resident requirement.

And that’s also ignoring the cost that they require of a citizen to renounce their Citizenship. It’s 2300+ USD to do if you manage to get it first try, and that can be denied still.

Once you are established somewhere else as a citizen, fully agree. But that’s defo easier said than done.

Wait, is there actually countries out there where you don’t pay taxes?

I’m guessing they must run off a very heavy business tax because the money has to come from somewhere in order for the government to be able to operate.

Or is it the gov just says “this will happen” and always has a blank check with no requirement to repay.

Don’t misunderstand my comment. I think it’s ridiculous for a country to expect you to pay taxes without living there. But like, taxes would be your citizenship burden

I’m all some Debian dereritive, whether it’s Q4OS or just Debian,

as someone currently watching through them I agree with this. I started with the old and it’s pretty good, but you can see the age of it.
