You jest but it can happen when what the docs says doesn’t reflect the implementation. And also, that’s what we call bugs.

bitfucker ,

The redneck engineering equivalent in CS

bitfucker ,

Oh, is this the same guy that gives the commencement speech “I wish you bad luck”? I quite liked that speech but not so on this decision.

bitfucker ,

The problem from the article is that the GPL was violated and somewhere downstream the user demanded they fix something to upstream. Being that downstream has modification without being published (my assumption on the GPL violation, either found due to inconsistent bug reproduction or other), the author is understandably upset.

Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead (arstechnica.com)

You might sideload an Android app, or manually install its APK package, if you’re using a custom version of Android that doesn’t include Google’s Play Store. Alternately, the app might be experimental, under development, or perhaps no longer maintained and offered by its developer. Until now, the existence of...

bitfucker ,

Ehh, this is basically just another form of DRM. No different than you having a Steam and GOG model. You can make your apps using DRM and enforce certain constraints

bitfucker ,

What I mean by that is, this is just an API/SDK for app developers to use. Google does not enforce the use of such things. Much like steam does not force the use of their drm for example (please note the difference between the marketplace and the drm). App developers can always choose how they make and distribute their app.

bitfucker ,

Yes, that’s my point. Android “doesn’t” have to use Google Play Store, but it is convenient. Other store fronts exist like F-droid and many vendor specific one. Google just provide the DRM mechanism like steam does provide DRM via steamworks

bitfucker ,

Enforcing payment comes to mind without resorting to in-app purchase or any account creation. A lot of desktop software is a good example of those. Sure, you can still have cracks and whatnot, but then again, that’s not the point. Might as well ask what is the point of Denuvo. That is a whole other discussion.

bitfucker ,

Nothing comes to mind. DRM literally means digital rights management and unless you wanted to be petty, like blocking a certain person from using your app, then DRM for something free is not something that I can think of a use case for.

bitfucker ,

Sometimes you just can’t guess the domain name of a company you know. Also, it doesn’t help that most companies website are fucking nightmare to navigate so having the relevant page on the first click is nice too

ROG Ally

bitfucker ,

Well, remember the news when one of those fucker even continue the procedure despite the patient SCREAMING in pain and he just doesn’t care?

bitfucker ,

Huh, the difference is that a website is not akin to a public park but privately owned park with or without entrance fee. The owner is nice enough to open the park and let you do whatever you want for free with the cleaning and maintenance is paid by the owner, but when the park is closed, would you still say the owner should still be forced to maintain it?

bitfucker ,

Hmmm, yeah it gets harder to associate it with physical reality when user generated content is introduced. Maybe an archival of said content is mandated but then again, who is going to serve the archive. In the case of youtube, it would be almost impossible

Why 🤷‍♂️ do users 👨‍💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭?

Ok, the title was an overuse of emojis as a joke. But seriously, I like some limited use of emojis because it helps me convey intention/emotion so that I’m less misunderstood and also adds some more feeling/fun to text content 😄

bitfucker ,

The emoji guy is giving Shrek a blowjob

bitfucker ,

Yeah, but as you said, it is highly dependent on the implementation. Theoretically it is possible that the user is also seeding the previously downloaded/streamed chunk (via WebRTC for example if using a browser). That reminds me of a madlad that stores data on a ping packet (see suckerpinch channel on youtube, specifically his video titled “Harder Drive”)

bitfucker ,

Last time I checked GPL doesn’t require you to broadcast your modification to everyone. Just anyone that receives your modified program. Let’s say that Google is modifying Linux kernel for their server infrastructure. If google never release that as a product, then google has no obligation to share those source code.

bitfucker ,

I never understood this argument. Why does having common first letter bad? If you mean subjectively then sure, it may not be for everyone, but objectively?

bitfucker ,

Maybe slightly related, but does anyone know any good codec (beside FLAC) for ultrasonic recording?

bitfucker ,

Alright, will check it out

bitfucker ,

This. Titanfall 2 has ruined my taste in FPS forever. Nothing ever comes close for me

bitfucker ,

Use zotfile extension (or equivalent since the v7 is not backward compatible) and it’ll save your time managing those pesky pdf too.

bitfucker ,

Uhhh, they just released the v7 tho?

bitfucker ,

I wish it has more element like CnC Renegade or Battlefield. This is quite an interesting game experiment

bitfucker ,

Then Promise.all is for you!

bitfucker ,

Long live sans io!

bitfucker ,

Those important notes feel like a personal experience lol

bitfucker ,

Damn, it would be epic if it were Andrew W K - Ready To Die

bitfucker ,

To be fair, if the fork sole purpose is to just re-label the software and make people that have irks because of the name start to use the software, who are we to judge?

bitfucker ,

Eh, we can argue about language all we want but at the end of the day if it is still the same code just with a different branding, someone will be bound to automate the process eventually. It’s FOSS, if someone is willing to put in the works to enable people who think the brand name is a hindrance for their change then more power for them no? We even change master/slave terminology in CS and many other field for the same reason (linguistic)

What stupidly easy tech solution do people gloss over all of the time? (kbin.melroy.org)

For me it's the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they're being spied. Here's the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won't use it or haven't used it in a while....

bitfucker ,

Just as a heads up, sometimes the pattern is not that easy for computer to brute force. As an example, my old password contains a birth date but with an alternating shift making them a combination of digit and symbol.

bitfucker ,

Yeah, a fair point

bitfucker ,

Maybe the reading order is U shaped.

bitfucker ,

Dude… Java is not JavaScript

bitfucker ,

Can you give the gist of it?

bitfucker ,

I see. I’ve skimmed the docs and indeed see that it supports a lot of IDP with what looks to me some env var. And thanks for answering another question of what their auth library is since that is a lot to support.

bitfucker ,

I would like to introduce everyone to this video about cursed unit (youtube link warning)

bitfucker ,

Yeah, he elaborated it in his second video about the cursed unit that cursed ≠ useless.

bitfucker ,

I think many people are confusing the meaning of “rational”. In the context of philosophy and other related fields, it has a very specific meaning and the thing that you are asking is actually empirical in nature when in the context of those fields. But the belief in those empirical evidence being rational stems from the lack of knowledge on the philosophical side of things so if you really are looking for an answer in good faith, then a discussion is possible as otherwise it is indeed an insanity trying to convince someone that will not accept others definition from a different field.

bitfucker ,

Same could be said for any other distro. I think his point is that when shit just works, nothing makes a difference between distro. Be it Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, Gentoo

bitfucker ,

Anything not advertised as E2EE can be assumed to have some 3rd party able to look at the conversation, malicious or not.

bitfucker ,

You mean interaction right? …right?

bitfucker ,

Man, and here some people are literally struggling due to the lack of dopamine just because their brains are built differently.

bitfucker ,

Maybe got something to do with his username

bitfucker ,

Research and development is tricky because you will never know how much more progress you will need before reaching a satisfying result.

bitfucker ,

Has anyone watched Babish Culinary Universe and seen him drunk on Gatorwine? That could be surprisingly good… or not.

bitfucker ,

Yeah, that is the only weird part about it. I think AMD is cooking up something right now behind the curtain. Whether that something is good or bad we don’t know yet but so far it does not look good.

bitfucker ,

Did he taste good?
