Hoping that we lose WW3 sure is a depressing mood.

#Bitwarden update claims it is easier to auto fill forms in the browser now.

Old: click anywhere on the item except the buttons to autofill
New: click only on the 'fill' button to autofill

This seams harder to me.

I'm going to go with a nix compatible git hook and cronjob on the server. (which currently isn't nixos)

I love reading a "how to X" post, and get to the end and still have no idea how to do X.

Do you?

I just read "Building a Static Site with Nix" and I still have no idea how to get my site to deploy.

@alcinnz I encountered a website implementing it's own loading animation yesterday, replacing the browsers own with no improvement in functionality. This was a pretty traditional webpage, not an app.

Why?

@alcinnz Web app level of up to date is really only something that appeals to companies wanting to not support old software.

Which I fully understand. But that isn't usually in the end users best interests.

I do like keeping software up to date, but the NixOS model of 'everything gets updated, or nothing does' is pretty appealing. It should reduce the instances of an update breaking the interactions between applications.

Yay the LEDs are the right way up!

@njoseph I did a C or C++ take home in C. I didn't get the job because I did it in C.

I felt like hiring a cybertruck.

Top and bottom are very confusing terms some times.

I would call this a "down firing" LED, but with the non emiting side labelled "bottom" which way up would you expect the parts to be in a reel?

@alcinnz Windows forces users to use the commandline.

It isn't that hard to get it to give an error message akin to: "Unknown thing went wrong, please run <commandline tool> for any useful information"

My OS knowledge is limited, but I'd presume "commandline under the hood" is ubiquitous. Any OS that didn't include one would have devs adding one to feel at home.

@HistoPol Did English/German autocorrect get in the way there? 'nicht' doesn't make much sense there.

@HistoPol @The_Icarian although their are fears the changes will push Australia towards a to party system more. It may not be a resounding good thing.

Eternal email challenge: Spell the recipient's name correctly. When their name is clearly the bit in their email address before the '.'.

Difficulty: extreme

@alcinnz calling Verilog or VHDL programming probably feels okay to many gatekeepers, but is a useless grouping of skills that are wildly different.

Similar to 'engineer', 'programing' means so many different things that as unqualified term it means so little.

While I prefer narrow definitions of terms, the gate keeping due to giving different terms different importance is fucking horrid.

If every issue is *RED ALERT* or don't bother priority, nothing get better.

Lets stop with the negative framing of asking peers for the thoughts on a topic.

Particularly when it implies there is an easy alternative to search. Search engines are not reliable any more.

Why do I put up with bugs in software I use (say OrcaSlicer) when I find them infuriating in Snaps?

I just realised it is because Snaps isn't software designed to make my life easier, it is designed to make Canonical's life easier.

In 'unrelated' news, Firefox has stopped auto launching on login....

That isn't good, but the domain appears to be squatted for sale?
