Are you planning to stay home if she gets a big enough lead?

No?

WILL YOU PEOPLE PLEASE STOP SPOUTING THIS BULLSHIT? If the polls are good, great, then we can make it a landslide. Stop treating Harris supporters like idiots.

He venue shopped this to TX to get the judge he wanted. We are gonn have to deal with this bullshit until it can be appealed out of one of our national judicial shitholes.

Yep, and to the person justifying the IT department’s invasion of privacy: they’ve been lying to us for years, there are breaches ALL THE TIME. Workers will give up every right in the face of corporate excuses? 🤷‍♂️

🙏

Can uh … can y’all help a lazy man out with a link to this community?

If you are a reporter, I do not see how you could use or trust that platform at this point.

Any sense on if the Twitter engagement is real people?

I worry with a profit motivated place like that that they’re incentivized to trick me, to make me feel like it’s a more vibrant place than it is in reality.

You are a fintech dev using floating point? And your advice is to encode things as strings?

…

This is why I got out of fintech.

(I am sorry, I know there are horrors and I am sure I am not familiar with your exact scenario.)

Edit: just for anyone who passes by: try to stick with integers in a currency’s smallest unit of division. (This is only one small bit of this problem, but the number of times I have seen currency values in floating point makea me psychotic.)

🤷‍♂️ I could spend that two hours with my kids.

You aren’t wrong, but as a community I think we should be listening carefully to the pain points and thinking about how we could make them better.

Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:

Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.

Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?

I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.

Can you elaborate a bit on your setup? As someone running Jellyfin, curious how you’ve configured everything.

👍

I am who my name says and I have a degree in CS if that’s what you are asking.

There are still some errors where you just need to know the fix. In that case it’s a baseball bat.

I get the joke.

But if, like me, you actually feel this here’s how I got away from it: make sure you actually understand things.

Read the error message over and over again, look up the words, understand what it is saying.

If something isn’t working, start reading the code and making sure you understand what each line is doing.

It will feel incredibly slow and painful at first. Eventually you will strengthen those.muscles, however, and it’ll become second nature.

Then you can cut and paste with confidence! 🤣

cop almost killed a man because an acorn fell on the patrol car, just to make sure you’re up to date on the state of the US.

Although I agree that is how things work now, one could imagine a different approach:

For instance, I could maybe control who my content gets federated to. That is, if I decide I don’t particularly want my content blasted to certain places that my instance would not call any blocked ones with my data.

If that causes some issues with ActivityPub, you can imagine encrypted blobs that could only be opened by others with a shared key.

We don’t need to achieve perfection out of the gate, to me these questions are worth discussing so that we can build out more high quality tech for the fediverse, let’s not try to just immediately shut down discussion.

Don’t ever buy anything from these people, got it.

of course, switching it back might not be so easy… 😂
