Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•A PHP Dev Just Solved a 20+ Year-Old KDE Plasma Problem No One Else Would
8·6 months agoYour Rollercoaster Tycoon example is a bit odd, since coding a whole game in assembly indicates deep understanding of what you’re doing, whereas the problem with vibe coding is that it requires only the shallowest understanding. Unless I’m misunderstanding and that was your point.
There may be a maintainability issue with both, but for a different reason in each case.

2·6 months agoSeemingly just because the title has “PHP dev” in it. It’s not entirely fair.

30·6 months ago“Like every tech company, we’re really excited about the velocity increases from AI, and so we have a lot of internal prototypes that are up and running, and extensions is one of them,” Varma said. “But a lot of things we’re staring includes questions like: Can you customize your homepage? Can you add widgets? Can you change your background in whatever way you want?”
All that and rounded corners? Not sure I can handle this much future.

Technology@beehaw.org•Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field
2·7 months agoIt shouldn’t need to reveal DOB to any other party. At most there should be an API that returns a boolean indicating whether the user is a child.* DOB is too much information.
*Edit: Even that’s a bad idea, as others here have pointed out. Let content filtering be done locally based on content metadata and user settings, so no information about the user needs to be broadcast.

71·7 months agoDOB shouldn’t be collected at all. Operating systems don’t need to know personal information about their users.

Technology@beehaw.org•Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field
14·7 months agoIt’s weird that this guy is pushing it with “it’s the law” justifications while claiming it’s so ineffective as to be harmless. If your justification is that it’s ineffective, why not just do nothing? That would be even more ineffective at collecting users’ dates of birth. Why be the guy who does something? He seems oddly eager and strangely confident that all the steps he’s taking to comply preemptively won’t be misused in future, by governments, corporations or hackers.

30·8 months agoThat’s crazy talk. Just change the colours and shovel in more AI and ads. Don’t dilute your brand.
I’m not saying this is the ideal solution, but I’ve had decent performance from the house to a shed 60 feet away using Asus ZenWifi AX XT8 nodes in the house (with one in the window at the back of the house) and an Asus RT-AX56U extender in the shed. Most days I get decent speeds, good enough to use for work and watching videos. Very occasionally there’s a bad day. I originally tried with the dual-band Asus ZenWifi AX Mini cubes, but they were not powerful enough. Their bigger tri-band units work better.
There are probably better solutions though, using directional dishes. I just did this because, like you, I didn’t want to have to mess with holes for ethernet cables, mounting dishes to poles, etc.
Oh, and I once had bad signal so I put the unit at the back of the house at what would roughly be the focal point of a large metal kitchen bowl and pointed the bowl at the shed, and the signal improved dramatically
The Asus boxes are overpriced when new, but you can get them for cheap used.

Does it include the truth about Israel’s genocide of Palestinians? Or is it still terrorism to speak that?
