Mr. Satan

As a developer I like to mess with everything. Currently we are doing an infrastructure migration and I had to do a lot of non-development stuff to make it happen.

Honesly I find it really usefull (but not necessary) to have some understanding of the underying processes of the code I’m working with.

Huh? What is there to do? Datacenter, cloud computing?

In IT context local is a well establised term. It’s either hosted locally, i. e. on machine running the browser or not. A datacenter or cloud are remote machines also by the same well established definition.

Not on mobile but on desktop Firefox Multi-Account Containers paired with Temporary Containers is a funcking godsend. Especially so when I’m doing web dev work.
Other that that uBlock is pretty high on the list as usuall.

During my time in a call center people would often call for invoices or messages they received. Most of my work there was reading the thing together with them. Nothing more was necessary, I just read alound their itemized invoice that they had received and it would solve their problem.

Click through pop-ups are even worse in this regard. I myself usually just automatically click No before I understand what just happened.

Dunno never saw the appeal anyway

Snapchat has a web client? :o

I develop and test only on firefox

Maybe Go, haven’t messed with it at all and it looks interesting enough to try. Other than that I could do C#, since that’s where I have most experience. Maybe node.js if I would want to suffer a bit.

Or a page that uses only half the screen width in the center. Just use the damn screen!

Yeah, a one to one conversion might not be possible. Although this example also approximates the image by making it two tone and using simple shapes to compose more complex ones.

It still feels as a non-trivial task tho.

This feels a lot like vector graphics. I would imagine one could automate SVG to CSS translation.

Monitors – hell yes! RGB – can’t stand it. My keyborad has a plain white backlight and that’s it. It’s purely functional.

Never had this happen to me. Not sure if it’s my browsing habits or something with my setup (basic if you ask me), but I’ve never encoutered such sites.

They can prohibit whatever they want, but how enforceable is it? Does Nvidia intend to play whack a mole by checking for translation layers?

Chromium has a mirror on GitHub and it’s fine. While it feels a little strange to have just one mirror (on GitHub), after moving to git entirely, nobody is stopping to them from hosting a GitLab mirror.

O that’s my pet peeve, I hate integrated git GUI’s in IDE’s. The only useful thing is file and code highlight for changes, other than that I disable that stuff as fast as possible.

There are things that my GUI of choice lack, so I occasionally type out a command, although I did also bind a couple of commands to GUI buttons, so there’s that.

In my, rather short (5ish years profesionally), career I needed to rebase once. And it was due to some releasing fuck up, a branch had to be released earlier and hence needed to be rebased on another feature branch scheduled for release.

Otherwise, fetch » pull » merge, all day, every day.

The outlined issues don’t seem to be lemmy exclusive, but then again, I’ve spent quite a short time here.

The toxicity is caused by the society, not by the platform. From my experience, one can always find a more toxic subreddit.

Reddit is just as much moderated by volunteers, that’s the reason I started using reddit. Also, having corporate admins doesn’t make the platform any more spam resistant.

If anything I would expect these problems to be more prevalent in smaller (lemmy) platforms and stabilize with growth to reddits level.

Now I’m not trying to defend lemmy, but being even more community driven I want it to succeed and become what reddit used to be.
