@xgranade the only reason for the quibbling was that I think that that culture is misunderstood and widely pilloried beyond what is reasonable. but… also it's still got plenty of problems so I don't want to push particularly hard on that point. People just get a lot of the nuances about *why* […]

@projectgus this is why Amaranth has a blanket "no AI" contribution policy: you could argue about its social-scale problems but my view is that it fades in comparison to "if I have to deal with slop being submitted I will simply choose to not take submissions from an open set of people at all" […]

@xgranade When he said that (15 years ago) people predicted that the next version of macOS would be just as locked down as iOS and in the intervening decade and a half the only thing that has happened is that you now need to run `xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine "$1"` to disable malware scanning […]

@xgranade I want to quibble about the Steve Jobs "freedom from porn" comment, but, before I do, I should say, you're correct to not try macOS and it would be a bad idea for you to do so, for a variety of other reasons, and some sort of vaguely related to the ideological perspective that lead to […]

1. The LUGs were the main point, so we mostly agree. This is a project that requires social infrastructure and our social infrastructure is either hollowed out or nonexistent.
2. The "shitty and dysfunctional" comment was A) absolute, not relative; they might be *less* shitty and […]

@xgranade personally I have just given up because I can’t even find the energy and time for a local Python meetup any more, let alone hours and hours of unpaid tech support for programs which I ultimately feel like are pretty shitty and dysfunctional, even if I feel like the world would be a […]

@xgranade all this requires … a ton of work. and a bunch of preliminary compromises. for example, often better to start installing applications for people and move them to Linux after getting them on OpenOffice instead of Copilot 365 or whatever the fuck it’s called now, (sigh) the Gnu Image […]

@xgranade it’s very frustrating but I think step 0 has got to be engaging directly and not abstractly. like I see the behavior the quotee is complaining about all the time, and I see a lot of others complaining about the “just use linux” crowd who make these recommendations and then just peace […]

@briankrebs I guess this is why they have the ".07" thing, so you can scramble it periodically.
(BTW if you could inter-cap the hashtag, i.e. #krebsisveryrevenge, it's more friendly to screen-reader users as it hints at where the word boundaries are.)

@diazona Yeah, you can run a static type checker with a lax configuration and gradually ratchet up checks over time.
My suggestion (from the experience of doing this on several projects) is to emit a config file for your type checker that explicitly excludes every existing file in your codebase […]
