Because I’m an idiot. 🤦 Thanks!

I recently learned my company quietly auto-rejects anyone who doesn’t enter their LinkedIn URL… :/

They say it’s to fight AI spam candidates.

When I was driving in Mexico, I learned this is possible! They’re very consistent with this.

California (not sure about other US states) on the other hand … people will purposely drive in the left lane, block traffic, and then get mad at you when you pass them on the right.

Growing up in a small town, this is exactly what we did. I was absolutely shocked to learn that people ride bikes ON THE ROAD! Right next to the big metal death machines!! 😱

I see why bikes on the road make sense for high density areas… but it sure seems weird in smaller towns.

Honestly, yeah, I’d do the same. After several past jobs required Linux, even downgrading to a Mac feels pretty bad. Can’t imagine Macroslop Wangblows.

Actually, one thing I want to do is switch from services being on a subdomain to services being on a path.

immich.myserver.com -> myserver.com/immich
jellyfin.myserver.com -> myserver.com/jellyfin

I’m getting tired of having to update DNS records every time I want to add a new service.

I guess the tricky part will be making sure the services support this kind of routing…

God I hate those stupid magic links. They’re WAAAAYYY slower than just using my password manager.

AND they kinda contribute to locking you into Big Tech. I sometimes have problems with those stupid links because I don’t have a Gmail account. Somewhere along the stupid chain there’s probably some stupid check that delays or blackholes emails to non-big-tech domains.

It’s crazy they didn’t before.

It’s really hard for everyone everywhere to vet AI’s output. It’s impossible if you’re not already an expert in the subject matter.

You think my brother is fact checking ShitGPT when he asks it about taxes? Most of the time, he immediately believes the answer is 100% right. If it’s something particularly important to him, he thinks he’s smart and adds something like “Don’t make stuff up. Don’t lie. Cite your sources.” And then that erases all doubt he had.

My manager has recently shat out 2 VERY large code changes in our codebase. He basically just shat it out and said, “Please review to make sure it’s right.” You know how hard it is to verify something you didn’t write? Nobody hit the weird edge cases while writing it. Nobody read the documentation on how to use this tool or library, so we don’t really know how this library works.

Then there’s reviewing for tech debt. Nobody typed out the code, which made them realize this code was shit because it’s super verbose. Nobody swapped out the implementation mid-way through because they realized there’s a better way to do it.

And I’m supposed to “review” a 1000+ line change? Realistically, not happening.

Yes, the reviewer is supposed to catch stuff. But, previously the writer also had some responsibility and built trust over time. This person is very meticulous or this person tends to make lots of mistakes around X. I trust Alice tested the edge cases. Bob told me he was worried about X part of the code.

But now the writer just lobbs some shit over the wall and the reviewer has to do all the work.

Again, realistically, not happening bro. I got my own shit to work on. If someone can’t be bothered to write something, then I can’t be bothered to read it.

LGTM, whatever. I don’t care. Let it blow up.

God yes. I don’t even care which side of DST we land on. As long as we stop changing the damn clock.

Someone is working on a list: https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware#editors

Maybe? https://lap.dev/lapce/

OP said IDE, not operating system…

😭 – damn, time to try emacs again…

Time to switch to Plan9!

I don’t want to sync files at all. I want files to only be on the server, accessible via web interface. Like Google Drive.

Yeah, that’s what I was doing before when it was just me. But, my wife isn’t gonna wanna mount an SSHFS. It needs to work like Google Drive, meaning web interface.

I’m not giving Google anymore money. I’m actively going to vote for their competitor, Motorola+GrapheneOS.

(Not buying used Pixel.)

Same. :/

I try to be as low tech as possible now. Most tech these days feels like it’s trying to exploit me in every way it can.

I’ve been wandering the laptop desert for a few years now. Lenovo, Dell, System76, Framework, StarLabs.

I’m currently on a Dell Pro 13, but the keyboard really sucks and the hardware isn’t fully Linux compatible.

StarLabs had keyboard issues and terrible battery life.

Framework seems like Linux was an after thought. Their HiDPI display isn’t fully Linux compatible.

I recently got my parents an X13 and everything just works. Camera, Bluetooth, graphics, display. All good.

I prefer 13in screens, but I’ll take the repairability of the T14 gen 7!

That’s cool… I guess…

What I really want is to continue to use F-Droid though.

I’d feel more considered if I’d gotten no email at all

I hate when I get ghosted. A rejection email lets me close the loop with that company and move on. Otherwise, I feel like “there’s still a chance!” and that’s worse.
