That’s the plan. Unfortunately the market is kind of meh. Lots of AI slop. Lots of getting ghosted.

politics @lemmy.world•Minnesota Can Prosecute Jonathan Ross—But It May Not Be Easy
16·17 hours agoIf the legal system concludes that he cannot be charged for murder, then the legal system is in error and should be amended.
The legal system is not a sacred, immutable, thing. It’s a bunch of agreements.
There’s a lot of fear at my job about changing code. I’ve been trying to tell them to start writing automated tests. Or at least a linter to check for syntax errors. They’re all like “ooh that sounds hard maybe next quarter”
Meanwhile, a trivial change requires a whole day because the developer has to manually test everything.
I just unilaterally added checks to code I have ownership over, but anything shared I’m getting “maybe in two quarters we can prioritize this” from management.
My job has a “scrum master”. She’s nice, I guess, but as far as I can tell her entire job is sharing her screen so we can look at tickets. Then people tell her what to click on and what text to change. It’s excruciating because it would just be faster for the person talking to change it, instead of being like “remove the second bullet point. No, not that one”
On top of that they have all these tasks for “unit testing” but they don’t actually do unit testing. Someone just said, in the distant past, we should do testing so it’s there.
My parents tried this many years ago.
Since then my dad has gotten better- he runs Ubuntu and so far as I know keeps it up to date. My mother on the other hand gets upset if anything at all changes on her computer, and so never updates or anything

politics @lemmy.world•'The president is an idiot': Senator unloads on Trump's 'really dumb' obsession
9·3 days ago. I will never understand how he got these people so duped
They are stupid. So, kind of tautologically, they reason poorly and make bad decisions.

politics @lemmy.world•24 members of Congress are 80 or older. More than half are running for re-election.
13·3 days agoHow would you prevent the cognitive test from being used to remove candidates for political reasons?
“Sorry, he failed the test because he couldn’t sing the texas anthem”
You could maybe have the questions and answers public, but the voting public is poorly informed and educated.
You could have some sort of third party do it, but then the conservatives would spend decades corrupting that.

Technology@lemmy.world•I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss WindowsEnglish
6·3 days agoYep. I’ve been during linux as my main desktop for maybe a year or two now, and it’s been fine. I don’t tinker with it. Most things just work.
The only thing that’s been a little dicey is mods for games, but I think I just need to figure out how like wine and proton prefixes work. It’s probably not hard, I just haven’t had a need lately.

Technology@lemmy.world•Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platformEnglish
40·4 days ago- read Bandcamp’s writeups. Sometimes they do a deep dive into a genre, city, or band. https://daily.bandcamp.com/
- if you find something you like, scroll down and there’s other users who bought it. Peek into their collections
- if you scroll down further on an album, there will be more recommendations
- you can search by genre or tag, too

Technology@lemmy.world•I Hate Github Actions with PassionEnglish
6·4 days agoThere’s not to my knowledge a good way to run/test GitHub actions locally. So if I want to verify my change uploads the coverage report after the end of the pipeline, I have to run the whole thing. And then I find an error because on the GitHub runner blah blah is different

News@lemmy.world•Joe Rogan criticizes ICE tactics: 'Are we really going to be the Gestapo?'
3·4 days agoIf you ever hope to sway a few Trump supporters, this is the only sort of way to do
People only change their mind from in-group pressure. (That and, sometimes, horrible personal trauma). It’s sad and stupid, but that’s how humans work.
If you want to change trumpers’ minds, you need them to see you as in-group. Otherwise emotions prevail and they won’t listen.

10·5 days agoAnd if they stay, they get hung because “following orders is not an excuse”
I think ideally they’d stay and subtly fuck up the administration’s plans. Like how prosecutors routinely fail to indict cops. But that’s asking a lot

It’s an easy out-group to identify and target.

Technology@lemmy.world•Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate appEnglish
2·8 days agoI’ve thought about switching. I do like the password saving and syncing between Android and desktop that Firefox does, and I’m not sure if the forks do that.

7·8 days agoNo regrets on switching to Linux here. Almost all of the time I just use the GUI to launch steam or Firefox. No AI nagging me (aside from whatever nonsense Firefox is up to)

politics @lemmy.world•ICE just launched a “wartime recruitment” campaign and seeks agents who want to “defend” their “culture.” There will be more Renee Goods.
6·9 days agoIf you call it out before it happens, they call you alarmist. If you point it out afterwards, they’ve already normalized it
They’re not engaging with facts. That’s a whole other plane that doesn’t intersect. It’s just feelings and in-group.
When you point it out early, you’re disparaging the in-group so that must be rejected. When you point it out after… You’re still disparaging the in-group so that must be rejected.
That’s all there is to it.

3·9 days agoYeah some mods on some instances give real pearl clutching vibes.


Oof. I’ve had places that the pipeline was getting long. At one of my previous jobs I made it so all the tests could run locally, and we were keeping the full build as slow as possible.
We also didn’t do any browser tests (eg: selenium) because those tend to be slow and most people are bad at making them stable.
It’s important to know whats worth testing.
