Apparently it was just a doorbell, if we take this X post for truth: https://twitter.com/yurapalyanytsia/status/1775888680215024124

I wonder how many kids watching Skibidi know what Half Life 2 is. They must be shocked if they ever boot up HL2 for some reason. “OMG! They made a game with the guy from Skibidi!”

Skill issue tbh

How others are keeping their branches up to date is their problem. If you use Gitlab you can set up squash policy for merge requests. All the abomination they’ve caused in their branch will turn into one nice commit to the main branch.

At my company we just use a squash policy in gitlab. Every merge request becomes a single commit to the main branch. Super easy to read the commit log because all commits are descriptive instead of a bunch of “fix MR comments” or “fix pipeline errors”.

Another advice: git reset [commit-id] followed with a git commit -a is a quick way to squash all your commits.

Imagine working with a tangled spaghetti of history

This person has never worked in a company where customer service has full access to user’s passwords because no one bothered to hash them.

I hope the Brutal difficulty update won’t come soon enough, because then I will just play more trying to P-rank everything again.

At least with Lemmy and Kbin, if you have a feature you want to have implemented you always have the option to fork and host your own instance. Maybe not ideal for everyone, but the option is there.

This has happened to Kbin with the fork Mbin due to inactivity from the main Kbin maintainer. It’s not ideal that a project goes stale, but life happens and we must respect that.

Hopefully this will backfire and just push people to use alternative search engines. Unlike YouTube and other subscription services, Google Search doesn’t have any exclusive rights to content.

Closed source projects are also subject to bullying.

Project managers pressuring developers to implement half assed features in an afternoon because sales sold a feature that doesn’t exist and have signed a deal to have it delivered tomorrow morning. Who has time to review the code and ensure there are no SQL injection vulnerabilities? Just push it!

ULTRAKILL. It has turned into a recent addiction for me. Certainly my favorite action game of all time.

The title is maybe a bit misleading, but I agree with the post. Everyone has encountered that type of code no one wants to work with.

Office is shit in many ways, but unfortunately there’s nothing that truly competes with it. Not even LibreOffice comes close.

The only reason why xz got exposed was because someone noticed SSH was a bit slower and decided to take it to their own hands to investigate. It’s possible this backdoor would go unnoticed for far longer if the attacker didn’t make this slight oversight.

So it might be that there have been other, successful attacks before. It’s just that this one is the one that got exposed.

That linked picture is at least from 2017 from a quick research. What they clarify now in the latest update is that Google is not exempt from tracking your activity.

The only thing a VPN really does is to mask your IP address. Can be useful in some cases, but there are way more ways a website can track you (like browser fingerprinting).

Not that it debunks your claim that privacy is just a fairy tale.

CoffeeScript was a fad because it didn’t solve anyone’s problems. It was basically “look how cool code you can write”.

TypeScript is gaining popularity because static typing solves real problems. It’s also a superset of JavaScript instead of being a completely new language from scratch, which makes it easier for JavaScript devs to learn.

It tells you that you can still be tracked. Maybe not explicitly by Google themselves, but it says it won’t stop tracking.

Yeah, it has always been the “don’t log my porn activity” mode. I don’t understand how so many people misinterpret it as some kind of privacy protection mode.
