The Onion@midwest.social•Man decides to keep box of cables he’s had since 2002 for another yearEnglish
10·2 months agoI just threw out my mum’s CRT TV last week (unfortunately was beyond repair, RIP). I decided to keep the SCART cable just in case I might need it some day…
The important thing the article is missing, is that you should always respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting. Some people just don’t like animations; either because they are distracting, or because they don’t want to waste battery/cpu on useless things (looking at you, spotify player, using 15% of my cpu for some animated bars…)

Programming•🚨ProPublica, a nonprofit newsroom, is looking for a remote full-time Applications Developer. You must be fluent in HTML/CSS/Javascript and have experience with data. The job offer was just published.
1·3 months agoIt’s pretty well known that nonprofit salaries are lower than the average, no? The whole non-profit thing tends to attract less investment, if any. Especially when the publication is doing a lot of research into the abuses of the rich and powerful, it’s not like they’re going to invest against their class interests.
No clue what you’re talking about honestly. I’ve worked on a 7 million line python codebase, and while python had tons of issues, whitespace was not one of them. You can easily move things around and have never seen a bug due to bad indentation.
Looking good. Especially looking forward to unions backed by a struct.

Privacy•Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit
3·3 months agoExactly. My favorite extension doesn’t work anymore because the owner (rightfully) doesn’t have time to deal with this shit. So some scammer now published a version of it which requires more permissions, probably mining your data or some shit. Fuck Google

Programming•What Should I Use Instead of Github? - Codeberg Gitlab and BitBucket
93·4 months agoThankfully, I am not at that point of desperation to consider Atlassian a valid alternative.
That was before there were a bazillion production ready languages with 30+ years of ecosystems out there. Any new language is going to have significantly more competition nowadays
Unwrap is good for prototyping and trying out stuff fast, but it generally shouldn’t make it past a code review onto main, unless you’re very sure
- You close the video that started autoplaying
- You try to read the content of the site on 20% of your screen because the rest is padding and headers and useless shit
- You try to understand why your laptop fan has started and your battery is draining at 100% cpu on a text and image on website
- You manage to read something on the website before your battery drops by 30%. You try to figure out if it’s AI generated or not
- You’re hit by a paywall

The Onion@midwest.social•China Lays Off 50,000 Intelligence Officers, Redirects “Much of the Money” to Republican DonationsEnglish
3·5 months agoReplace China with Russia and this would be news, not satire
There were a bunch of stories of Republicans helping Cornel West’s campaign last year to act as a spoiler.

Programming•The Dumbest Move in Tech Right Now: Laying Off Developers Because of AI
2·7 months agoDoes a writefreely instance appear on lemmy as a community with posts written by the author? That would be so cool, and would go in the right direction of integrating different kinds of social media in one client.

Programming•The Dumbest Move in Tech Right Now: Laying Off Developers Because of AI
50·7 months agoLet’s make a community powered, open source project to do this and watch them squirm when investors demand that million dollar CEOs get replaced with AI for higher investor returns.
It’s a funny story because Ford was suspecting them of building a rival car company so he wasn’t doing it entirely out of altruistic pursuits. He wanted to them to get lower profits from their Ford investments. Whenever you think capitalists have reached the peak of greed, they truly innovate.
This only strikes us plebes when we find out about it. It is common knowledge in economist circles:

The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits: a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_doctrine
This has only been recently challenged as a PR attempt to rebrand it into “stakeholder capitalism”
Also, not related but equally horrifying: in macroeconomics there is a target of unemployment of around 5%, aka full employment is to be avoided: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAIRU
Wow, 10 years is still pretty young! Most of the other consolidated languages are at least 30 years old. Will be interesting to see how this project evolves.





















I use both. Bsky has way more people and the feed is better.
