Always eat your greens!
He claims he is a man and wants to learn and grow from his mistakes, that’s admirable honestly.
And what better way to prove it than to calmly accept his prison sentence like a mature man who understands the weight if his crimes and the consequences of his actions.
I’m starting to get the hang of it. I was using Debian, so I had to figure out the basics of venv because many of the frameworks I was trying to learn require newer versions of Python than what comes with Debian.
vscodium works really easily inside it though, so it wasn’t too bad, but I still feel like I’m treading water a little bit.
As a baby Python Dev, I’m glad it’s not just me.
10 seconds? That’s generous.
I still mess this up for lists in Python…
“python is the second best language for everything…”
I love that summation! Python has been key for me to learn programming concepts. I hope to move into other languages in the future, but for now, Python does everything I need it to.
The process of enshitification is what I was referring to. Discord got super popular by providing users with lots of value for zero cost.
Now, in order to increase profits, they are reducing the scope of features they offer, and increasing the cost of the features that remain.
This will continue to slowly get worse, as users are more locked into Discord’s ecosystem and userbase, they will be further pressured to upgrade and pay more money for less stuff.
Discord’s enshitification continues.
Thank you!
IT workers desperately need to unionize. There is so much bullshit that happens, folks are expected to do three different roles at once, have multiple technical stacks they are experts in, and work extra hours + be on call after hours or on weekends.
God bless iFixit, and God damn Samsung.
This would be an even funnier comment if the subject wasn’t so horrifying.
Welcome to our cyberpunk dystopian future. It’s not the sexy, aesthetic, neon hacker-world version. It’s a dull, dreary, hyper-capitalist, hyper-consumerist, post truth, AI sludge hellscape.
First off, good on you for being careful. Ultimately, use the same methods that you would use when vetting other sources, like academic or personnel for hiring.
Check reputation via stars, active contributors, see what accounts are contributing and what other projects they also contribute to. Check their LinkedIn profile and personal websites.
See if you can confirm the project is being used safely by reputable groups. See if people, especially public people you trust are using/recommending it without being sponsored.
Check in private forums with other devs and users, see what people are saying. Check the code yourself, etc.
Ultimately, there’s no way to know 100%, even large companies and organizations have been duped in the past by backdoors or security bugs in OSS they use. You can be very confident however, it’s all about how much investigation you are interested in doing.
And of course, don’t ever put all your eggs in one basket.
And if after lots of investigation, you still have a bad feeling in your gut, listen to that. Better to be a little too careful than to compromise yourself by ignoring that gut feeling that something just doesn’t pass the smell test.
I’ve been on 1080p since highschool, over 15 years, works perfectly for me. I value high frame rate over resolution/fidelity. Luckily for me, even mid-tier hardware is so powerful now, AAA games on ultra at 1080p can easily hit 160+
I have an AMD 6700XT and a 5800X3D with a 240Hz 1080p monitor, it’s wonderful for me.
