guappa··on Want to meet people, try charging them for it?
I've only met them at gay prides… not churchy at all.

SourceHut has a crazy dude in charge. I'm not going there.

But not that deep… because if 99.999% of the people can't afford a surgeon we will just have fewer surgeons. And as it is, for some procedures, there's like just 1 or 2 people in the world who can perform them. Take away 99.99999% of their customers and there will be nobody who can perform them instead.

So quality of care will decrease (to a much lesser extent) for rich people as well.

Do you think they accounted for that? I doubt it.

I've absolutely heard a published psychologist claim at a "science festival" that anyone lending any credit to any conspiracy theory is an uneducated idiot (but it's not their fault).

She put flat earth, reptilians and queen had diana killed on the same level. I guess gladio too?

I mean kings historically have had lots of people killed. Certainly I can't know if that's what happened, but it's at least possible (unlike flat earth).

Also she didn't take questions from the audience, in the spirit of science.

> Not sure about that. Billionare Capitalists live in this world too. They might cause harm, sure, but that harm generally takes predictable form and is of finite magnitude.

They don't really think that way.

See Trump defunding medical research. Capitalists need medical care too, but they think quarterly.

When you're rich.

The most experienced people quit, yes. There's some other not as experienced who are left, but seeing how a noob with less seniority and a large ego is now their boss, I expect they're proof reading their CVs as well.

I think under current management immigrants have no chance of getting promoted.

I find that by being on codeberg instead of github i tune out a lot of the noise.

> Generally speaking AI will make it easier to write more secure code

In my personal experience, not at all.

My company hired a new CTO and he asked chatgpt to write some lengthy documents about "how engineering gets done in our company".

He also writes all his emails with chatgpt.

I don't bother reading.

Oddly enough he recently promoted a guy who has been fucking around with LLMs for years instead of working as his right hand man.

> They just aren't open about admitting they're using AI to speed up their marketing/product design/programming/project management/graphics design

Sure… they'd hate to get money thrown at them from investors.

You live in a parallel universe where wolfssl doesn't exist?

> Deployments are just "file copy".

Ah yes how the "works on my machine" meme started!

> Am I the only one using LLMs as if they were a search engine?

Do you often find the need to search for APIs that do not exist but wish they did, and what the code using these imaginary APIs might look like?

It seems that when countries try to go away from microsoft, the USA ambassador comes to you to make threats.

So it's not so easy, although yes, of course it's better to avoid depending on an hostile and powerful nation.

I think even a .txt file over a shared directory would work better than sharepoint.

According to the former major, bill gates went all the way there and asked for a private meeting. Although at the time he was officially no longer actively involved with microsoft.

Do you have any sources of them actually doing it or is it just a feeling?
guappa··on Lyon Drops Microsoft to Boost Digital Sovereignty
Plenty of people think the earth is flat. Unfortunately beliefs' power to shape reality is rather limited.
guappa··on Lyon Drops Microsoft to Boost Digital Sovereignty
No there isn't. In fact proprietary projects are very happy to run "npm" or "pip install" or the java/go equivalents and install whatever.

I expect most projects don't even check they're not violating licenses or ever audit any dependency… let alone do a security check on who the authors are.

Also just FYI, russians are not stupid. If they want to contribute malware they won't do it from their kgb email address. They will create a fake identity with a very standard WASP name.

guappa··on Lyon Drops Microsoft to Boost Digital Sovereignty
It's funny that you think proprietary code is audited.

Seems there's more than one country doing malicious stuff on purpose.

Most people who are not from USA do not make any distinction between jail and prison.

Nitpicking about the precise legal terminology is a bit pointless in this context.

In which other countries is it happening? Do you have any links to newsreports?
guappa··on Switching Pip to Uv in a Dockerized Flask / Django App
That would be true if anyone actually ever reviewed the dependencies. Which is not the case. So the version doesn't matter when any version is as likely to contain malware.
guappa··on Switching Pip to Uv in a Dockerized Flask / Django App
? It has always been the case that if you don't specify a version, the latest is implied.

Yeah not ideal… then again… samsung actually pushed an update with an overlay that shows ads on some old models. I had one I used to show the forecast, attached to a wall. I had to reset and to factory and forbid all updates or ads would appear on top of my app.
