Actual question. Isn’t installing stuff from third party repos like super dangerous? The package scripts run with root access, right?
So, I guess you could tell if the hash of the package matches the hash of the code after you build it… But, what about upgrades on that package after it is installed? They could change the setup scripts and screw a lot of people right?
Not saying these guys do it, just wondering about security stuff.
“Science isn’t about WHY. It’s about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won’t hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired.” — Cave Johnson (Portal 2)
IMO it’s by far the worst on any apple product. I tried to help my mom organize some photos and it drove me absolutely fucking insane trying to figure out where the photos app stored things.
Not sure I follow. The photos app doesn’t save anything externally unless you specifically export it to files and then you have to tell it where. Adding photos from your library to albums is one step with no question where they go. I’ve had a way worse time on android trying to figure out where it stashed things. But sounds like it could just be lack of familiarity for us both.
I keep seeing this sentiment from people who are supposedly savvy with computers. I never have to question where a file was saved to on Windows and I’m not sure why you guys do.
Right? Seems like Linux fanboy propaganda. If you don’t know where your file saves to, you’re probably incompetent and shouldn’t be near a computer. Even the most incompetent of users in my 15 year IT career know how to save something and where it’s saving to.
You’d probably experience it if you were in a OneDrive/sharepoint/teams bla bla bla shop. The AutoSave defaults to On, the default destination is (I think?) the user home folder in OneDrive, and the default Save As does not pop up the system dialog, only your Recents. I feel this meme for sure and I’m a 25-year IT professional. It’s just poorly built user interaction, that someone in the bowels of M$oft thought would be “easier” but it took away most of the visibility and control from the user.
Eh that threw me off when it was new but it’s been a thing for about a decade at this point. My work is all-in on Azure and this has never confused any users as far as I’ve seen, and we’ve got some incredibly ignorant users. Everyone just hits “browse” from that screen and you’re back to the old school save screen.
sometimes i am not sure when like paint that saved the filepath for the pic that was made a few months before. In that case i use save as again to look where it should have put my file and copy the path
Odd, I just tested this and clicking save brought up a window for me, it was not automatically to the last location, and I use the program at least once a month so it’s not my first time running it or anything.
Same here, I’ve never had this problem, ever. I don’t even get how it’s possible to not know where your files are being saved if you are the least bit techsavvy.
Here fucking here. I never don’t have a hard time figuring out where a saved file went on my phone. And every app seems to have it’s own idea of where the best place to put downloaded files should be.
Garden variety low effort meme. haha windows (or windass or windowns or whatever) bad so funiiii lolololololo etc - a few linuxmemes are basically... this.
Not sure what it does in programmer humor though - if you, as a programmer, find yourself in this situation... just git gud?
Yep it's just click top.toolbar see the breadcrumbs....it used to be a problem 15years ago and I still.question the name it uses when I open a file from outlook (why not downloads) but is pretty easy to find again
Windows seems to have irregular behavior in this regard. It usually defaults to the downloads folder. But sometimes it defaults to the last folder I saved a file to.
It might just be windows being buggy or something, but there were a number of time where I hit save and then the file is not where I expected it to be.
I could have prevented the mistake by paying attention first, but windows could also be consistent.
How about clicking a document link, and they fucking put Word as a tab inside Teams, just so Teams can be even more bloated and make viewing documents a pain. Teams have come a long way from when I started my job, now it’s not a dysfunctional mess, but things like that still annoy me.
When you change your password for something and the Gmail app takes you to the internal browser and 1password doesn’t recognize the password field so you switch to 1password but when you come back to Gmail the internal browser window is gone
