the problem with ORM is that some people go all in on it and ignore pure SQL completely.

In reality ORM only works well for somewhat simple queries and structures, but at some times you will have to write your own queries in SQL. But then you have some bonus complexity, that comes from 2 different things filling the same niche. It’s still worth it, but there is no free cake.

hm… actually I think that story only sounds excagerated, but is actually 100% true.

I like the story of guy in medival Münster who founded a classless christian society. When the army of his local loard came knocking, knew God was in his side, so he charged them alone. The army then cut him into pieces and nailed his balls to to towns gate.

Today there are 3 cages on the church of münster, containing the bones of the co-conspirtors

I probably got some details wrong, here are some sources:

kotlin also has ()->{} and {} (when there is just 1 parameter)

yes, just like in the OP

Recycling is a scam invented by big oil to shift the responsibility to the consumer. Every second we argue about correct recycling, is a second we don’t argue about system changes.

were you banned from reddit as whole, or just specific subs?

Most Adobe tools don’t have any good free alternatives even for home use.

inkscape is on a level with illustrator (maybe even better)

for drawing: try krita

if you want to pay money (much much less than for adobe): Affinity is on a level with fotoshop

. But it is trained well enough to correlate left and right together

eliza could do that 60 years ago

The Ad sponsored web model is not viable forever.

a thousand times this

we’ll probably get a win 12 that is less good than win 10, but better than win 11,

I wouldn’t count on it. MS is moving away from selling desktop-stuff and towards selling cloud stuff (think azure and office356) and consulting. That’s why they changed their attitude towards linux (think wsl and c# for linux) and open-source (think github). MS wants companies to use open-source tools (preferably written in c#) and deploy them to azure with the help of MS-consultants.

Enshittifying windows is a step in that direction. For example: The more people have a MS-Account, the easier it is to sell office356. That’s why they pressure windows-user into making MS-Accounts.

MS knows that desktop is dying.

most recently I had this with energy-settings, before that with network-settings, and before that with some language settings.

I’ve not actually had this problem …(aside from [when I had this problem])

lol

the last time I had to set up a windows-system, I just said fuck-it and bought a key for 2€ from on of these shady key-sides.

There’s a lot to not like here.

the new snipping-tool is neat

yes I know if you look hard enough you can find legacy panels

In some case you have to actively looks for the legacy panel, because the new ones don’t allow to change certain settings.

is this declaration about e2e in general, or is there a specific new rollout they are referencing?

Our societies have not previously tolerated spaces that are beyond the reach of law enforcement, where criminals can communicate safely and child abuse can flourish.

I am pretty sure, churches were “tolerated spaces” bevor e2ee was a thing.

“sudo MacOS” sounds like a legit way to describe “gnome+ubuntu”

KDE on steamdeck, because it came preinstalled

Gnome on work-pc, because it came preinstalled

also gnome on notebook, because the multi-workspace thing works very nice OOTB in gnome
