Did you try throwing it in the oven at it's highest possible temperature? Gotta reflow that solder and the board will magically come back together in one piece!
It's almost like there's more acceptance that mental health is real health, but no it's the evil checks notes sunscreen that's making me sad. Not the existential nightmare that life currently is, not the constant feed of negative news that's coming from the computer that is basically another appendage. Correlation != Causation. Could it be a contributing factor? Yeah probably, feeling the sun on your face does lift my mood, but I can point to countless other causes that are way more relevant. If you really want to figure out the causes, go see a therapist, they're great at helping out your feelings into words you can actually act upon. When if you don't have anything you're trying to figure out about yourself, go see a therapist, it's like getting a yearly physical just check in to make sure there's nothing wrong.
Still better than nothing. Not sure how I feel trusting Google to keep my data secure, but on its face I think it's a good thing. It should be used in conjunction with other good opsec practices, but having tools available to more people is a good thing. This assumes that it actually does what it says it does on the tin.
Yeah that's cause they're using ancient systems that probably store the password in plaintext. If you absolutely must use it make sure that password is only used on that specific site. I would strongly recommend looking for other ways before you do though.
If it's a package I'm not familiar with and is relatively small/unknown then I'll give it a brief once over to see if there's anything that sticks out (obfuscated code, making http requests when the package should never do that, etc.). Most of the time though it is just trusting the FOSS community.
I like it without a total count. I'm not worried if something I say gets heavily down voted (and usually it deserves it if it does happen). Plus you don't get try hards who only care about making that number go up, and are just posting everywhere in pursuit of that goal rather than cause they thought it was worth posting.
You learn so much more doing it yourself instead of having AI write code for you. When I first learned how to admin an Apache server I had 0 understanding how it worked, but with some effort I'm now confident enough to do a simple setup on my own. I did follow along with tutorials and examples configs, but I made sure I knew what each part did at least on a high level. The reason I'm confident in this is that I know how to read the docs and how to troubleshoot issues when they happen.
When you let AI do all the work you don't learn the inner workings of a system and are only hurting yourself. If you want to use AI use it for writing some boiler plate you've already written hundreds of times or taking simple functions and converting them to another language. I use AI for basic and repetitive tasks, which is something it's great at. I don't use it for making large design decisions since that will (not "if", but "will") bite me in the ass later on when something breaks. Examples of good uses of AI (in my opinion): generating a list of US states in JavaScript, take a function that converts a strijg to a date object and try to translate it to another language, use it as a tool to bounce some high level ideas off of when you're at a development block.
As a (mostly) straight man into dommy mommies I think I get this. If I'm out of line though I am sorry.
