  • Prominent Android manufacturers commit to supporting phone software for 7 years

  • This will have an impact on companies issuing Android phones to employees, which may be required to use an actively supported device for security reasons.

  • Perpetual Motion finally achieved!

  • IMO the syntax is fine except for the borrow checker shit that just looks arcane. The fact that everything cargo drags in is statically linked really turns me off the language for anything serious. It's really unfortunate because I'd otherwise put some time into learning it, but it seems like the rust foundation is fine with this (ridiculous IMO) workflow.

  • Tbf, does anyone actually "like" C++?

  • Helldivers 2 only became a live-service game halfway through development, but 'feels like what live service was born to do'

  • It's that + content drops being tied to in game story\metagame elements, and much better communication with the community than the previous game.

  • Always follow 3-2-1 backup rule

  • Yeah, for this reason I would pretty much never encourage exceptions in Python over some other form of error handling. It's so frustrating when called code throws some random exceptions that are completely undocumented. This is one of the few things Java got (sort of) right

  • Isn't a huge part of the point of copy left licences that an author can't change the license without rewriting the code entirely?

  • CCS is already required in Europe, problem is there aren't nearly as many CCS chargers in the US especially compared to Tesla's network

  • @pixelfed: Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated Using #ActivityPub

    Jump

  • It'll definitely need some kind of quality enforcement to make hosting work. It'd be really useful if the app would automatically transcode to the server's preferred quality when uploading, using the uploaders device. If the server has to transcode all the video the compute costs could get astronomical.

  • As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play extra ads when I pause a video

    Jump

  • So pissed at YouTube (Google) you're switching to Android (...)? Was this their master plan all along?

  • Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?

    Jump

  • A dedicated server is needed because something needs to keep a catalog of the smart devices available on your network and ideally be accessible to many people in one household. You could make a system that went phone -> device but you would need to set up each device on each phone you wanted to use, which isn't a great user experience. You could also run into issues where devices would need to handle multiple conflicting commands from different users coming in at once. Since smart devices are usually trying to use as little power as possible, that extra complexity would hurt you in that department. The third reason is that having a separate server enables automated workflows that would depend on an always online server that orchestrates multiple devices. For example, let's say you have some automatic insulating blinds, a smart thermostat. You want to raise and lower the blinds to maximize your energy efficiency. Since you have the dedicated server, that server can check the temperature set point of your thermostat, current weather, and sunrise\sunset times. If it's sunny out, and your set point is higher than the outdoor temperature, the server can raise the blinds to let warm sunlight in, and vice versa. If only your phone could control the devices a workflow like this couldn't work when you were out of the house.

  • Are there any legal issues recreating YouTube SponsorBlock for Podcasts?

    Jump

  • Some perceptural hash of the actual ads could work to. You could run into legal trouble sending the ads themselves or the hosts speaking.

  • Rebase Supremacy

    Jump

  • I wouldn't recommend it. The Git documentation itself doesn't recommend rebase for more than moving a few unpushed commits to the front of a branch you are updating. Using it by default instead of merge requires you to use --force-push as part of your workflow which can lead to confusing situations when multiple developers end up commiting to the same branch, and at worst can lead to catastrophic data loss. The only benefit is a cleaner history graph, which is rarely used anyway, and you can always make the history graph easier to read with a gui without incuring any of the problems of rebase.

  • Fedora proposal to change default desktop to KDE

    Jump

  • I wonder if the Gnome team's cavalier aditude towards agreed upon standards is related to Redhat's influence 🤔 It's totally possible the devs are just high on their own fumes due to being the default for so long.

  • Fedora proposal to change default desktop to KDE

    Jump

  • Back in the Gnome 2 days this wasn't as much the case. Plus KDE was kind of a mess back then so the main choices were Gnome or XFCE which had fewer features. When Gnome 3 came around the devs switched hard to a much more opinionated approach, leading to Gnome 2 forks like Cinnamon since KDE was still very underpolished. It's a bit regrettable that all that effort was poured into Gnome forks instead of improving KDE especially considering how great it is now.

  • White House urges developers to dump C and C++

    Jump

  • Thats because in government products many unsafe languages shittier than C(++) are used, like Ada, Fortran, and Cobol. It wouldn't surprise me if most of the code running on products for government use werent written in C or C++

  • White House urges developers to dump C and C++

  • Nothing really, the JVM has a pretty troubled history that would really make me hesitate to call it "safe". It was originally built before anyone gave much thought to security and that fact plauges it to the present day.

  • Pretty crazy to reccomend Java as a secure alternative.
