Exactly. Open any post on the internet even slightly hinting towards veganism (or cute animals for that matter), and you’ll have the insufferable army posting gifs of sizzling bacon, steak being cut, or making jokes about how that one guy’s childhood chicken would make for a perfect chicken nugget.

I absolutely love being able to command+c and command+v in my terminals.

Well, there was the DIN standard for radios back in the day….

If it’s a backend/service issue, tell the user, but the bare minimum. You shouldn’t disclose too much info about your system to the end user (think of stack traces, error codes unique to some dependency you’re using) as it may give an attacker some valuable information.

JVM warm-ups are a no-no, too.

I think the whole step to integrate with the fediverse would have taken too much time and too many resources. Seems like a massive rewrite of the codebase to me, if it wasn’t taken into account from the very start.

Be prepared to argue with people about how they don’t hear the difference in audio quality between TeamSpeak and Discord. Take it from me, TeamSpeak wins hands-down.

I never really got this argument, to be honest. I put mine on the charger when I take a shower in the morning. If I did a long workout that day, shortly before bed, too. Other than that, I wear mine day and night. It really doesn’t feel like a big deal to me. I wouldn’t wear a mechanical (or quartz) watch in the shower either.

Same. It worked great for me with the profiles (personal microsoft account + uni microsoft account) until my uni disabled the bookmark syncing feature for all our accounts. For some odd reason.
Then I switched to Firefox and I’m not turning back.

Crikey, that’s horrible.

Seems unlikely to be honest. But in the same vain, let’s hope the firefighting planes don’t crash and cause a kerosene fire.

It’s easy for techies like us, yeah. If we don’t want to go too advanced with the automation stuff. I wouldn’t even dare ask my mum to set up her own stuff, even if she begged me for it. It’s techie-friendly. Not user-friendly (yet).

Really uncreative, but: $myInitials-desktop $myInitials-server $myInitials-laptop

With my username being…. $myInitials. Surprising, really. Boring, but consistent. :)

It used to be quite a big deal, back in the day. The other day I read a really old thread on some local forum here in NL, and it said that you couldn’t sign up with an “anonymous” email address, such as hotmail or gmail. Only provider-issued email addresses were accepted there so “they had an idea who they were dealing with”. Times really did change a lot.

She’s a techie just like a lot of folks. Likes to indulge in 3D printing, hardware modding, things like that. Just happens to also be a woman who likes to dress provocatively. Each to their own, of course. Been a while since I watched anything of hers, but what stuck with me is her emphasis on the fact that women can be engineers just as well as men can. She’s decently well-known in the modding community, I’d say.

Exactly. They’re great bullshitting machines, that’s it.

It’s pretty good. Using it locally as well as internationally (to France and back). Haven’t faced any issues, really. The only thing that is, to me at least, pants on the head levels of stupid, is not having cycling directions in The Netherlands of all places. Come on!!

True, but they have access to so many better ways of documenting stuff…

I’ve only seen it so far in the discord group for the city building game Cities: Skylines. And it’s still a mess.

I’m afraid they’re talking about the Voron printers, which are really great printers.
