what

same, I was ready for this to be some transphobic thing and was pleasantly surprised!

It would be a different beast if the school didn’t allow you access coursework on a personal machine without installing their bullshit, thats a huge issue.

That’s exactly how it works at many places. Students can only use a personal device if it’s enrolled in the school’s MDM, which grants them just as much control.

Anything except the 2nd to last one, which is, unfortunately, mandated by my employer’s internal code style guidelines. 🫠

TIL that pluralistic.net is blocked on Facebook, and any links to it are automatically removed as “farming engagement”

That’s not entirely true. Practice is important, but homework actually has a negative impact on learning: https://hachyderm.io/@Impossible_PhD/112969358305278574

This may sound like a mess to you. But it was remarkably enjoyable to work in. Gone were the concerns of code duplication. Gone were the concerns of consistency. Gone were the concerns of extensibility. Code was written to serve a use, to touch as little of the area around it as possible, and to be easily replaceable. Our code was decoupled, because coupling it was simply harder.

Incredible

Agreed, unfortunately. I’m not even sure it supports defederation :/

It’s good we have “Knewbies” in a sandbox when they start.

attention all companies: please stop making pet names for your employees, it’s weird

my employer has decided to license an “AI RDBMS” that will dynamically rewrite our entire database schema and queries to allegedly produce incredible performance improvements out of thin air. It’s obviously snake oil, but they’re all in on it 🙄

Another vote for the steam controller - it’s versatile enough to work comfortably with every game I’ve wanted to play.

I’ve been using Xubuntu for half a decade, zero regrets.

The frontend is HTML only? Then I’d go with C# and ASP.NET Razor pages. Modern language with good DX, performant runtime, and server-side rendering.

Changing the domain of an established fedi instance is very difficult, almost to the point of impossibility.

Right?? I normally love it when websites have a fun twist, but this one really needs an off button. The other cursors keep covering the text and it becomes genuinely uncomfortable to read. Fortunately, you can easily block the WS endpoint with any ad blocker.

Thank you for this! You can also get rid of it with a custom ad-blocker rule. I added these to uBlock Origin, and it totally kills the pointer thing.
