Oh yeah, gender relations are a mess. The belief of not being able to be friends with genders you’re attracted to is bullshit, and I’m really tired of it. It’s cost me some relationships to the point where I had to make that a rule.
I’m not attracted to everyone, and beyond that, I have a healthy respect for boundaries. Their boundaries and my boundaries.
One note, maybe quit mentioning you’d like to be friends with them and just be friends with them? Mentioning “I’d like to be friends with…” to other people is coded as “Hook me up with...”.
Sounds settings have at least 3 places where they can be set in Windows, and the places don’t necessarily implement all of the functionality of the others.
It still weirds me out thinking how mega fauna existed much more recently then we think. Like we could be chilling sloths, or, you know, running in fear, but now the largest animal I encounter on a regular basis is my neighbors fat cat.
Let’s bring C into this discussion if we want to talk about overused languages which aren’t fit for purpose. 😂
The ergonomics of Rust are better than C and C++, and programmer productivity is the metric which really matters.
Rust is compiled, and compiled languages are easier to deploy. Especially statically compiled languages like Rust.
Ada might better, but it needs to be updated.
Ada compiler development is also tied to a company which is moving to Rust, and the gnat toolchain developed by Adacore is “Open Source”, eventually, maybe.
For server config management there are lots of tools. FreeIPA and Ansible will do quite a bit, but when getting into stuff to manage Linux desktops fleets there isn’t a lot of endpoint management out there.
Fleet Commander is the main effort out there, and then Red Canary.
8x8 is the commercialized version of Jitsi, and they’ll do a BAA. They’re mainly a voip provider, so jitsi is rolled in with many other items.
