  • VPN firm says it didn’t know customers had lifetime subscriptions, cancels them

    Jump

  • They claim they didn't bought the contractual obligations, so to be fair they should cancel all subscription and not just the lifetime subscriptions. But obviously it's just a bullshit claim by some corpo...

  • Tech worker co-operatives - a growing alternative to traditional employment?

    Jump

  • Didn't really understand if the salary quote was about the same coop then the salary one, but in general of you want to work for public sector, education, NGOs etc one should anyway expect lower salaries compared to working for cooperations. So these should be the benchmark to compare and not all over market averages.

  • Döner für 10 Euro: Sind die Döner-Ketten schuld?

    Jump

  • Die haben vermutlich an allem gespart. Sich selbst, den Zutaten und auch sonst an allem wo sie sparen konnten, anders wäre das vermutlich nie gegangen.

  • ACAB

    Jump

  • That sounds like even their leaders assume they're horribly stupid...

  • That's something I never got about cops in the US. Everywhere in Europe, there are always two cops per car, at least in the places I have been.

  • What are the requirements for a single user Lemmy instance?

  • How much storage did it use overall? I had one instancs running on a 40gb HDD VM and it ran out of disk space in like 2,5 months. From what I've seen it was a mixture of 66,6/33,3 postgres/ images and other media. Didn't had the time to learn how to clean it up and prevent it from happening again after a month. All happens like may to August last year.

  • Why self host a password manager?

    Jump

  • Not the one who wrote the command: The Keepass DB encryption is afaik pretty damn good. So that wouldn't be an attack vector I would worry about. Also and those are just my five cents and I might probably be ripped in pieces by some it sec people, I wouldn't fear too much about a backdoor being put into your systems when self hosting. If someone actually does this it's most probably gonna be some actor related to a government that targets you for whatever reason and at least then most of us wouldn't stand a chance to keep all of their IT devices save, especially when they could stop you on the streets and get physical access to some devices. On the other hand hosted services with thousands of customers are also a lucrative target for cyber crime and which you as a self hosting individual are most probably not. This reduces the possible threats quite a bit, at least if you keep up some default safety stuff to not just let any wannabe hacker from wherever into your self hosted services that would be happy if they can get a 5 thousands dollars/ euros or whatever from you.

  • 4 browsers that will continue to support uBlock Origin and other ad blockers with Manifest V2

    Jump

  • Then something must be wrong with the way you configured your OS.

  • How bad is Ubuntu?

    Jump

  • Even back then Save As... was working for me and I never bothered replacing the Firefox snap with the .deb version. Probably some weird configuration on your machine, since I set up quite a bunch of machines with plain Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and never got complaints about this.

  • Study finds 268% higher failure rates for Agile software projects

    Jump

  • And also because it's a comfortable cover up for any kind of money saving stupidity. We don't need proper requirements engineering, we're agile. We don't need an operations team we're doing an agile DevOps approach. We don't need frontend Devs, we're an agile team you all need to be full stack. I have often seen agility as an excuse to push more works towards the devs who aren't trained to do any of those tasks.

    Also common problem is that still tons of people believe agile means unplanned. This definitely also contributes to projects failing that are just agile by name.

  • If you could take a single character out of a piece of media (book, film, TV show, video game, etc) who would it be?

    Jump

  • God from the bible. The whole book will just be a bunch of ancient stories nobody should care about anymore. Would be interesting to see what the world would be like without Christianity.

  • Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’

    Jump

  • Could easily be that they have a bunch of people in Munich they can not fire since German labour laws are at least compared to a lot of places not that bad and they have to come up with some work for them. So having them work on this is still cheaper then having the people in the valley plus "useless" people in Munich.

  • The IT experience?

    Jump

  • Same thing with why do I need to pay someone to do maintenance my car, kitchen, AC, whatever works perfectly well.

    Also why should we pay developers to do stuff like dependency upgrades and other maintenance or software just runs™

  • A broken man

    Jump

  • I remember it being like that already in 2014. The only thing especially annoying I remember was having to use optimus to manually switch between the "internal" Intel GPU and the dedicated Nvidia GPU to not run out of battery within an hour. But the whole set up thing was never an issue for me on Mint and Ubuntu even 10 years ago.

  • The Average™ arch user

    Jump

  • A lot of people did this at that company as well. But mainly my point was that it might be better to first get productive, or verify you can be productive with the OS you installed before you waste tons of hours configuring it in some obscure ways.

    Especially since it was usually the ones straight outta university who did the fancy configuration, tons of alias, custom theming and so on stuff while most senior Devs using Linux just used default Ubuntu, Fedora or whatever installations. Something that just worked.

  • The Average™ arch user

    Jump

  • Once worked for a software company where we could run Linux on our machines if we maintained them ourselves and wouldn't ask admins for support since they were only supporting the default windows installations. Right before Christmas new coworker joined, early twenties, got into a project that was apparently hard to get it set up locally, we told him get the project running and then spend time to configure your laptop the way you like it to be. Low and behold, he spends Christmas setting up and configuring some fancy desktop environment on Kubuntu, returns to work, shows off the fancy looks and within a week fails to get the project set up and everyone else in the project was using windows. So one week later he was back using windows and super pissed that he wasted like 5 days configuring his desktop. My heart is still bleeding for that poor guy :(
