This gave me a giggle

Also introduces small amounts of bad metals in the air. It’s one of the reasons wooden satellites are starting to be sent up.

At the end of the day, there are actually better electric cars now for the price. Even starlink is starting to get major market competition for cheaper.

I usually just take a look at the code with a get request. Then if it looks good, then run manually. Most of the time, it’s fine. Sometimes there’s something that would break something on the system.

I haven’t seen anything explicitly nefarious, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Oh nice! I can’t see very well on phone.

Debian is supposedly coming to android. That would be cool.

Yep and you can dictate the sync time. It’s great.

Ive been using it for a couple years now. Its solid. Super easy to host via docker or yunohost. It can mass import/export as well.

It has its uses. For templeting and/or getting a small project off the ground its useful. It can get you 90% of the way there.

But the meme is SOOO correct. AI does not understand what it is doing, even with context. The things JR devs are giving me really make me laugh. I legit asked why they were throwing a very old version of react on the front end of a new project and they stated they “just did what chatgpt told them” and that it “works”. Thats just last month or so.

The AI that is out there is all based on old posts and isnt keeping up with new stuff. So you get a lot of the same-ish looking projects that have some very strange/old decisions to get around limitations that no longer exist.

Im looking forward in the next 2 years when AI apps are in the wild and I get to fix them lol.

As a SR dev, the wheel just keeps turning.

Try opencobol. You may have more success.

Some cobols like rm COBOL require a literal custom Linux header in order to work with SQL. Others work with odbcs natively.

It might be my area. Most COBOL infa got replaced or is on life support. But I did happen to see the good stuff once in a while. There’s a reason it was not touched.

A small part of me thinks it might be the place to retire. Working on old code bases.

I used to work with COBOL. The language isn’t terrible, it’s the 40+ years of no context changes that suck. It even works with SQL… although the most common configuration is using a flat file.

Man I used to love Ubuntu. Then snaps…and it broke a lot of things. Now I’m on other oses. But I appreciate what they did to the Debian flavors of distos.

Thank you for this.

When the worst case is to lose your job and never deal with the legacy code again.

There’s automation and you can do it manually if needed. For example I have a couple of emulators that pull every 24 hours from GitHub just in case nint tendo gets a little lawsuit heavy. I also have one offs from GitHub that pull down when I want.

You can also mirror a public repo from GitHub into a private repo so it does not gets indexed/ai trained.

Yeah it can be that easy. Pixelfed.social is the big one.

Or you can go with one of the others to share the load.

I personally spun my own instance up just to try it out a couple of days ago. It’s neart and very perforant.

On the plus side pixelfed seems to be popping off. And every time one of the big companies f up, we get a slow trickle of new users. Which is much more sustainable in the long run.

Anyone have the text for this one? It’s behind a paywall ironically.
