Never turn on remote admin. You don't need to admin your router from outside of your house.

Don't worry, Ontario voters are still overwhelmingly supporting the pcpo, I'm sure things will get better.

May as well just say "only when you ask me that" and get to where you were going eventually anyways.

The animation and aesthetic is amazing and I like the music but ... what's the gameplay? I confess I got a little disappointed when it shifted to platformer perspective.

I can't help but notice the stark contrast between the rate of improvement to Lemmy vs the glacial pace of work done on Mastodon. Lemmy seems to embrace the "move fast and break things" ethos so much better than Mastodon which just crawls at implementing critical functionality. Which is funny, I follow Dessalines and Gargron on various platforms; Gargron seems like a much more sensible and reasonable and decent person so this is kinda disappointing.

This is a social network. It's recreation. I want you to move fast and break things. That's how Facebook won. You're not going to chase down the gazelle by walking.

So after everybody saying the Liberals were going to lose this fight, Google flinched.

I mean, I'm still not sure this is good policy but it is nice to see the haters proven wrong.

Source? That would be exceptionally bone-headed messaging to say out loud, and while the Liberals are masters at cramming their feet in their mouths (Freeland in particular) that level of pooping-out-toes is beyond even her.

They're great hardware but the software is bad.

WearOS, at least the Samsung variant of it, is goddamned awful. It seems to want to be a full standalone device when I want it to just be an extension of my phone, and it's an extension of my phone when I want it to stand alone. Worst of both worlds.

I miss my Pebble. Week-long battery, truly always-on-screen, and knew what it was trying to be (just show me notifications)

That's not what I mean. I'm not thinking about Play Store security, but Android OS security. Like, your app physically has to ask for permission (or even require the user manually change settings) to do most unsafe things.

As somebody who occasionally had to develop for android: the churn of improvements to app security was a huge pita. And as a user I know many of the abandoned apps that I liked that lost compatibility was for that reason.

So the fact that in spite of this pain, Android security still allows apps to do horrible crap like that is infuriating.

DevOps is bad because for some reason we've decided to invent new programming languages that you can't debug locally and so you have to keep pushing commits to the pipeline server. It's bullshit.

"Why do you write all your pipelines as shell scripts and then wrap them in yaml at the very end"?

Because then I can run them locally quickly and test individual components of them instead of "edit, commit, push, wait 10 minutes, read error message, repeat".
