By definition if inflation doubles and the value of your estate doesn’t change, your actual wealth didn’t change.

Why did you cross post this? It’s already a thread.

What you’re exercising here is called whataboutism, and it’s a really shitty thing to do.

Nah, not if it’s corporations or whole countries.

Protest votes are fucking stupid. They accomplish nothing. I will vote to keep trump out of office.

So you are voting in protest to Trump? :D Because that’s literally what you described.

Ah yes because the last ten times they did this it totally didn’t backfire and they had everyone else’s future in mind while selflessly giving up a lot of their own.

Oh wait…

Also, this isn’t even compatible with copyright law in some countries. I.e here you can’t give up authorship at all; you can only grant an irrevocable, perpetual license (that might even prohibit you from distribution yourself and such) but you’ll always be able to say “I made this” no matter what their license says.

Quite the irony; somehow not doing anything and getting people killed needlessly and destroying your own nation is an okay path forward, but trying to find a compromise that stops that would cost you your career… I mean, it’s not surprising, but also really sad.

Sooo they can bend the law and postpone holding elections, but they cannot bend it to hold peace talks? It’s just an excuse.

For all the hate PHP gets (or used to get) it’s ecosystem is amazing. And so is the language and standard library itself for the most part. It still inherits some of the original issues, but a lot of work has been done to minimize them.

It’s funny because despite all the fearmongering about Microsoft’s Github acquisition it feels like it only improved since then, while Gitlab has done a shitton of questionable and shitty decisions, a ton of critical security issues and in general feels like (at best) they don’t know what they are doing.

The only thing Gitlab has going for itself is that it’s self-hostable, but they still retain a large amount of control.

They aren’t really even in budget phones anymore. When you don’t want a notch and want a headphone jack there is almost nothing to choose from: https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2023&chk35mm=selected&sFormFactors=1&sOSes=2&idDisplayNotch=1 :/

Yeah, just like headphone jacks. Oh wait…

It’s not just that they demand more, they demand more/faster growth all the time. It doesn’t matter that the economy has slowed down to borderline recession, it doesn’t matter that they pretty much captured all the market they can, they still need to make more and more money every quarter otherwise they’re considered a failure even if they are one of the biggest companies in the world.

I dunno, having a free, open model made by a trusted company would be nice. I like initiatives like Mozilla Voice, this could be something similar. Probably not great if it’s replacing focus on the other things though.

This is cool but it’ll be a nightmare to update.

Also, chances are that if you use Alpine the person using your image already has the base layer downloaded, so your image might actually be “bigger” for most people.

Yep, exactly my thoughts. Unfortunately very few developers really think (about related but not completely adjacent code) when they implement stuff (and that’s when they are even “allowed to” by the task requirements) and even fewer have true knowledge of security and common pitfalls and whatnot to avoid such issues.

And even when you have those you still need good practices and code reviews where the rest of the slip ups is caught.

Ehh their engineering simply seems to be subpar. I’ve read some of the CVEs and if they followed best practices the issues should’ve never happened. It doesn’t inspire confidence.

Wait but I already have that diagnosis…?

Oh yeah, absolutely, it’s great to get pointers in (usually) the right direction. But you’d still be hard pressed to execute on that fully including all the intermediary steps and (more importantly) solving for all edge cases and whatnot.

As a tool it’s definitely invaluable.
