For me, it's the rigid and wonky virtual environments. I get why they're useful and necessary, but they're awkward to use. Like, Node just works from the working directory with no fuss and python has to be all source {venv}/bin/activate and lord help you if you need to move it.

Plus, I have never liked that the spacing is load-bearing.

You're empathizing with the troll, too? 👀

FYI: What the troll is describing is not required all. I don't know what they're on about, but I've used ldap-js in many projects without having to do any of that.

For the longest time (relatively speaking), I would do full stack Javascript (like the meme). But I have to frequently tie into AD/LDAP and the only decent NodeJS library for LDAP is no longer maintained because the community was shitty to the dev. Now I've had to venture out into Go (I can't stand working in Python).

Let this be a reminder to be nice to the developers who are giving you their hard work for free.

Why would that be relevant or allowed in a politics community? Fuckin' lemmy.world, I tell you what.

Because rule 1 there is "Post only links to articles? Geesh. It's not like that's been a rule for 2+ years and the community a place to discuss actual articles.

When I was younger, I'd have thrown my support behind this.

Now that I'm older and world-wiser, I'm much less on board with that. Cannabis? Fine. Heroin? Whatever, you do you. Cocaine? Absolutely not. Not that I'm against cocaine, it's just that people on cocaine are really, really annoying.

I have no idea but they keep making them thinner for...reasons?

My personal "sweet spot" is the OnePlus 3. Not too tall, thin but not unbearably so, and doesn't sacrifice anything for headphone jack and a decent size battery. Though if I had a choice between "thin" and "removable battery", I'd take the extra thickness required for the battery cover in a heartbeat. I'd also accept several more mm of thickness if they want to include a slide-out keyboard.

Unfortunately, our WAF appliances don't have a Heisenberg compensator.

"I get why we have a WAF, but can't you just, like, separate the good SQL injection from the bad SQL injection?" -- Developers I work with 😆

Thanks :)

My home instance has some top-shelf custom emojis, so I try to use them. Janeway's eye roll gets a lot of mileage.

Agh. Beat me to it. 😆

This perfectly illustrates my gripes with whatever is driving the trend of these super thin phones.

First, is anyone even asking for phones to be thinner? Then there's the camera bump sticking out like a wart. And beyond that, it gets put into a bulky case anyway which negates the super thin thing entirely.

There's options, yes. Ubuntu Touch is getting better.

AFAIK, the main bottleneck (aside from hardware support) is a working open source IMS stack. IMS is the IP Multimedia Subsystem that is responsible for things like VoLTE/VoWIFI, SMS/MMS, etc. The last time I looked at Ubuntu Touch, it only supported baseband (not sure if that's the right term?) calls and SMS/MMS. Basically those only work in "3G" mode and won't work if your carrier requires VoLTE.

Lack of an open source IMS is also problematic for some other Android distros as well (and why flashing a newer GSI ROM to an older handset won't necessarily give you VoLTE).

And don't even get me started on the complete fustercluck that is RCS 😠
