This is infuriating.

This seems incredibly interesting, but the idea of a ‘general purpose syncing service’, in the way he describes it, makes my head scream’security concern’. In general the way it’s described the format is not fixed for these services so your data might as well be encrypted in any arbitrary way I think?

But knowing this wouldn’t this kind of general purpose syncing service need some way of identifying what data it is even syncing? Unless you encooperate something grand like the signal protocol (as in encrypted anonymous messaging) you d always run a security risk if the service you use for syncing is not self-controlled?

If anyone has more insight on this I’d be very interested, it seems like a very good concept.

It sounds to me like anything other than p2p local syncing with some protocol is a confidentiality no-go.

Which would also be worse than the events being unrelated. In the simplest case it’d be guilt-tripping you owe me!) or at worst some sort of odd blackmail.

[…]Plants vs. Zombies Jordan Adams, and Director Partnerships at EAX Matthew Angeleri.

Adams would also send female coworkers pornographic videos and even reference them in EA Slack conversations

While that seemed like an act of goodwill, Angeleri privately sexually harassed said female coworkers and even followed it up with videos of himself having lewd acts performed on himself.

Why the article can’t just state what the allegations and at whom is just annoying, so here you go.

What confuses me a bit is the sentence just before the allegations to Angeleri:

As for Matthew Angeleri, he invited his female coworkers to stay at his home with his wife while visiting Vegas where they were given free room and lodging. While that seemed like an act of goodwill, Angeleri privately sexually harassed said female coworkers and even followed it up with videos of himself having lewd acts performed on himself.

Like… What? What is the logical connection between these two sentences? There could be months or years between those two events? How do these two relate? This reads as two completely separate events. So one could just be an act of goodwill and afterwards he decided to be a prick. Or, first the was a prick and then felt bad and offered the coworker a place to stay?

And if the two events were concurrent that makes it immensely more creepy.

This seems to be posted on this forum with that title solely for rage-bait.

She clearly just-for-fun redesigned Wikipedia as if a modern company got a hold of it. Yes of course this would drive people in this forum up a wall, but that’s just not the point. This is also not about programming at all?

Don’t go around looking for content of other creators just to take it out of context and then bash it.

This is like you watched “we made marvel r-rated” from corridor digital (https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=k5-3eujJyZE) and then post about it being pissed how they destroyed a superhero fantasy aimed at a wide audience and children and how noone would ever want something like that.

I really like reading these kinds of optimizing posts, it’s usually a quite thankless task but really amazing

A lemmy user made a comment on a similar post ‘press statements about future stock prices are kinda self fulfilling prophecies’

Which, if you think about it, benefits those holding shares/interested in the stock… For example: a former boss of an oil company talking about how the price might hike …

God damn, those look like police/first response, why are they this close to it?!

Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t “loop unrolling/unwinding” something that the c++ and rust compilers do? Why does the loop here not get unwound?

I really think it’s disgusting to boldly claim this is just to protect children. Then get the proposal denied with very valid reasoning that everyone’s privacy would be compromised.

And then, a few months later, they have the exact same argument again with the same proposal as before… This seems deeply disrespectful of the subject matter

It feels like a someone is trying to steal a cookie from a cookie jar, but when mum said no you just try again the exact same way…

Exactly! My case was such a case actually. But it further shows that bisect is a great tool that benefits from good practice.

Git bisect

Is goddamn amazing! I had a very large multi-branch project that somewhere somehow had some crashing bug. Instead of searching through 5 or so branches with 20 something large commits for each, I bisected like 7 times and it told me exactly where to bug was introduced.

Highly recommended

OK I am dumb I didn’t read the edit at the end

I mean… Maybe I am just oversimplifying things or misreading something, but if the cabinet the switch was on was metal then maybe the switch connected ground to ground? Suddenly changing ground to ground can crash old hardware quite reliably but booting with another ground plate could make it adjust the potentials properly… I’ve done this multiple times in a lab, in essence adding more ground causes the ground plates to equal out and that sudden drop can crash sensitive hardware…

Please tell me i am wrong I want this magic switch to be true so bad

I’ve had the fp4 since launch and instantly put e/os On it it works great and I love it. Hidden bonus, any in app ad/purchase straight up cannot load since the I eternal service is missing.

Though yes, the era is nothing to write home about.

I’ve been using e os every since the fairphone 4 hit the market (and I got it quite fast). I think it’s absolutely great. A caveat which is funny to me and I like: Since the playstore service is missing, and micro G sinks every server request to Google, in app purchases via those systems are simply not a thing. Personally I love this si ce I have never needed or want to buy anything from any app; but it’s incredible to me that any ad that even tried to load, can’t
