- Comment on Microsoft announces sweeping Windows changes - but no apologies 2 months ago:
Item 3 is even shovelling more AI into more places. About the only thing that is real in that list is the taskbar being able to be moved, and this was something they have promised would happen since they rewrote the taskbar and crippled its functionality.
- Comment on The Productivity Paradox: Why Technology Makes the Economy More Efficient But Most People No Richer 2 months ago:
No country has managed a transition to communism, all of them got turned into various types of authroritarian dictatorships. There is no known method for transitioning to communism and maintaining it.
- Comment on UK fines Reddit $19 million for using children’s data unlawfully 3 months ago:
At some point those same authorites are coming for Lemmy and the metaverse generally.
- Comment on Everyone is stealing TV 3 months ago:
Theft has a very specific definition, critically it requires the taking of something so that someone else is permenantly deprived of the thing. When something is cloned or copied its not theft, its all intellectual law driven so copyright and trademark breaches. No one is deprived of the product, only potentially the payment for a service.
- Comment on ‘Seasons have become confused’: the people struggling in UK’s relentless rain 3 months ago:
It will definitely take in the order of millions of years to recover from what humans have done to destroy the habitat. The species will destroy will likely never return, the planet in a million years time will bear the scars of the Holocene extinction.
- Comment on Overseerr & Jellyseerr to merge into Seerr 3 months ago:
The fact it recommends popular stuff is a useful addon feature, its a good way to look at what others are watching.
- Comment on Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun 3 months ago:
Alas I don’t think you will have the political stability to ultimately allow the adoption of an alternative. There is zero point building something that also accommodates the USA right now as the new King is quite likely to ban it and waste all the time put into it. Even a treaty put in place wouldn’t stop this from happening, so frankly its not worth an EU or otherwise company anticipating doing anything with the USA for the foreseeable future.
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 3 months ago:
Its a big problem. I also dump projects that don’t automatically migrate their own SQLite scehema’s requiring manual intervention. That is a terrible way to treat the customer, just update the file. Separate databases always run into versioning issues at some point and require manual intervention and data migration and its a massive waste of the users time.
- Comment on How many containers are you all running? 3 months ago:
31 Containers in all. I have been up as high as ~60 and have paired it back removing the things I wasn’t using.
I also tend to remove anything that uses appreciable CPU at idle and I rarely run applications that require further containers in a stack just to boot, my needs aren’t that heavy.
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 3 months ago:
I reject a lot of apps that require a docker compose that contains a database and caching infrastructure etc. All I need is the process and they ought to use SQLite by default because my needs are not going to exceed its capabilities. A lot of these self hosted apps are being overbuilt and coming without defaults or poor defaults and causing a lot of extra work to deploy them.
