The plan reeks of American exceptionalism and Trump is probably the worst person who could attempt to do it. With his repeated comments about annexing their allies and praise for dictators, who would want to become what is essentially a US vassal.

Game developers often use Perforce instead of Git. Maybe it was that?

I consider the fact that karma farming isn’t a thing on Lemmy a massive improvement over Reddit.

I recently read about something similar called Anubis. Is it related?

devenv.sh contains invasive telemetry that literally exfiltrates your entire repo to their servers.

The sad thing is that machine learning methods are actually pretty good at classifying data. So Spotify could implement an “AI” enhanced search that works with your search terms if they wanted. Unfortunately, they no longer seem interested in improving their product.

I worked on a couple commercial C++ applications that used vcpkg. It’s not as convenient as nuget, cargo or npm but it think it is a massive improvement over manually hunting for dependencies.

Here are a couple of reasons:

• C and C++ projects often predate Gradle by decades they will not change their build system without a compelling reason.
• Gradle is written in Java and requires a Java Runtime.
• At least for C++, CMake has pretty much become the standard build tool.
• Dependency resolution on Linux was ‘solved’ by relying on the distribution. Today, there also exist package managers for C and C++ like vcpkg or conan and they also integrate with CMake.

Its hard to give you something concrete. The topics you gave as examples are vast. For my own purposes I add feeds to my rss reader based on what I come across by reading other articles in my reader.

Maybe checkout some communities about the topics you are interested. Lemmy has for example a large and enthusiastic Linux community. Brodie Robertson also covers a lot of different Linux topics. You can also take a look at recordings of developer conferences. The people that give talks often write a blog as well.

HN is hosted by ycombinator, a VC, and represents only a tiny fraction of the IT industry. Its mainly the silicon valley startup side of things. So you can expect a motley crew of ai and crypto bros, musk fanboys and JavaScript prophets.

The articles and especially the comments there might lead you to belief that in software development there isn’t anything outside of Cloud-native Web Applications. For example, two of the most popular programming languages that are currently used are Java and C#. Yet you wont find much discussion about them on HN because it is presumably unfashionable to use these languages in a startup.

This extends to most topics from operating systems to open source programs. Largely hype based discussion around new and shiny things.

There is also a very strong libertarian bias on HN. Look at the comments of any article that relates to a EU regulation like the DMA, CRA or GDPR and you will see what I mean. Its mostly libertarian pearl clutching and not much actual discussion.

I just use Nextcloud News since I am already using Nextcloud. It works well and installs in just a few clicks.

For feeds I can only recommend to get rid of HN, its gives you a skewed perspective and is a huge waste of time. The only thing its good for is begging for support when Google deactivates your account.

I really tried to like silverbullet but the VI mode is too bare bones for me. The worst thing about it is that Ctrl+W closes the browser tab instead of deleting one word left of the cursor and there is no way around that. I think I closed the silverbullet tab 20 times while typing a single note.

[…] why make a YouTube video about it?

Because its a message that was apparently lost when we transitioned from forums to social media. It is also worth to explore why not giving attention to trolling works and how these people benefit from your engagement.

If you know how the grift works you are less likely to fall for it.

My new job wont allow me to install applications, so I was looking for a hosted Obsidian alternative. This looks very promising. Thanks!

I know the type. Usually the kind of confident know-it-all who refuses to learn anything but delivers changes really quickly so management loves them. I had the misfortune to fix such a project after that ‘rock-star’ programmer left the company. Unfortunately the lack of professional standards in our industry allows people like that to continuously fail upwards. When I left the project they rehired them and let them design the v2 of the project we just fixed.

Kagi was founded as an AI company so this is not surprising. I unsubscribed from them after learning that. Also, their CEO is a weirdo who harasses people critical of their product and he thinks the GDPR is optional.

I am using a immutable Fedora since January and it has been great so far.

Neat, but sad to see that it is permissively licensed.
