Umbrias@beehaw.orgto Programming@programming.dev•Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy" - by Dmitry Kudryavtsev2·1 year agoI don’t know snough about the crowdstrike stuff in particular to have much of an opinion on it in particular, but I will say that software devs/engineers have long skirted py without any of the accountability present n other engineering fields. If software engineers want to be called engineers, and they should, then this may be an excellnt opportunity to introduce acccountability associations and ethics requirements which prevent or reduce company systemic issues and empower se to enforce good practices.
Umbrias@beehaw.orgto Open Source@lemmy.ml•How open source money fixes a corrupted banking system21·1 year agoHonestly I was expecting far more downvotes. I posted the video with people like you in mind, who still
can think criticallyare marks without the burden ofmisinformation and ideology.not being marks.Ftfy
By the way, if you think you are not subject to ideology, I have several things to sell you.
For anyone else reading: everyone is subject to ideology. The moment you think you arent, that is when you are most trapped by it.
Umbrias@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•Photoshop Terms of Service grants Adobe access to user projects for ‘content moderation’ and other purposes1·1 year agoI mean I disagree about not sympathizing with folks somewhat trapped in a hostile software ecosystem, but surely “stand by your beliefs” is not unheard of.
With about a half an hour of reading documentation it became very clear a couple versions ago what work benches were, which were useful to me, and how to use them. That’s maybe longer than going from inventor to solidworks or visa versa, but hardly that bad. For a beginner it will be taking a long time anyway and there will be essentially no difference, except that you’ll learn a much more robust understanding of how parametric modeling works.
Freecad has improved considerably in the last year, to a point where I’ve gone from saying I will wait to use it, to recommending it. It may actually have been designed for humans now.
Because of the flat and nonprofit nature of Lemmy “users pooling money together” is the platform allocating budget.
The point is that game developers don’t get royalties the same way say, book writers do, not that the distribution is uneven or exactly unfair in a direct sense.
Umbrias@beehaw.orgtodatahoarder@lemmy.ml•How to store digital files for posterity? (hundreds of years)5·1 year agoDigital data is extremely short lived. Unless it’s being maintained well and copied, it will decay regardless of storage medium fairly rapidly. And as you point out data interface techniques are themselves quite short lived. Storing data as something accessible without specialist technology, so plainly readable, instructions on how to build the reader and decode the data, etc.
Future technology may improve this by having historians interested in historical records wanting ways to recover it, at least.
Umbrias@beehaw.orgto Android@lemdro.id•Google CEO Pichai advises Android users not to sideload appsEnglish11·2 years agoNot really planning on sacrificing privacy and safety from monopolies by doing that thanks. Not everybody’s threat model is that ridiculous.
Umbrias@beehaw.orgto Programming.dev Meta@programming.dev•Your server owner is now banned from participating on lemmy's Github302·2 years agoNone of these really seem that off topic lol. Especially not the one marked off topic in the pictured post.
Big meh. Languages evolve.
Umbrias@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•The Flaws of Flatpak - What do you think about Flatpak Security?13·2 years agoAnd this is why I’ve never taken much of Linuxs user base seriously when they talk about security. Hilariously bad defense strategy.
Umbrias@beehaw.orgto Announcements@lemmy.ml•We're the creators of Lemmy, Ask Us Anything. *Starts Monday, 7 Aug, 1500 CEST*English4·2 years agoWritten content can contain pii, but it’s rarer. Written content isn’t, by default, pii, but if someone tells anything reasonably pii the entire text can be consisted pii even when anonymized.
Umbrias@beehaw.orgto Programming@programming.dev•What do you think would be an actually good use of blockchain/smart contracts? What kind of problems (big or small) is it a good tool for?English2·2 years agoAnd an important note is that… For decades we have had paper trails fairly locked down given enough incentive. The technology isn’t the problem with performing audits.
Umbrias@beehaw.orgto Privacy@lemmy.ml•ESRB plans “facial age estimation” checker for age verification3·2 years agoPlaster sculpt, then add fake skin to, and add a small linear actuator for breathing stimulation, small twitch motors under the skin, and run it under some alternating leds to stimulate blood flow coloration. Should defeat almost all facial recognition software. Might need some eye fakes.
Or just wear makeup to an insane degree. Or return to the forests and live a much happier life.
Nobody has mentioned librewolf, which is a fantastic out of the box privacy browser. It’s a Firefox fork.
Umbrias@beehaw.orgto Android@lemdro.id•It's official: Smartphones will need to have replaceable batteries by 20272·2 years agoIn addition to the correction from the other user - there are plenty of designs that provide access to phone internals with no tools. Snap fit phone bodies work fine, there are several modern phones with them and numerous older phones. Still water resistant, and the case doesn’t magically pop off just by dropping it.
(Also a case popping off from being dropped actually protects internals and the screen by absorbing some of the drop energy anyway, since the kind of drop that would easily pop a phone body off is the same kind of drop that will break screens.)
they’ll find a use case any day now for realsies.
