  The easiest way to block an auto-upgrade to Win11 is to just disable TPM in the BIOS. That way Windows will see the PC as not Win11 compatible and not perform the upgrade.

  YAML would such a nice language for config files but then it turns out that “no” is falsy and so a list of Scandinavian countries turns from

  • se
  • fi
  • no

  into

  • "se"
  • "fi"
  • False

  I wish there was like a JSON5 equivalent for YAML that just reduces its scope lol
  (and no, TOML also looks ugly :P)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it so hard finding up-to-date docs and guides?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Also why having doc comments and docs generated from code are super useful. When someone changes the code but not the comment above, it becomes really obvious that something was missed as opposed to having code and doc changes be two separate tasks.

  I can only hope that governments finally take that as hint to explore other platforms (Mastodon *hint* *hint*) for their public service announcements.

  This. I hate the whole left/right tribalism.

  Like I know that it can be used to get a rough idea of what political motivations someone might have and I know that where my own ideologies would mostly fall in that inaccurate one-dimensional linear spectrum but ultimately it is too inaccurate to use it to classify everyone’s political motivation.

  Worse it creates a whole us-vs-them divide. “Oh you aren’t right, when then you must be a commie”. “Oh you aren’t left, then you must be a fascist”. So you might consider yourself in a different position on a political spectrum and just see the differences to someone on the other end of a political spectrum even though you might have more in common then you think. Heck, if you are on complete opposite ends you might even have more in common then you think.

  Ultimately, the focus should be less on left/right and more on individual policies. Like should healthcare be public or privatized, should be build another road or another train track here, etc

  Why does political debate always have to turn into this tribalistic mud fight instead of proper discussion on how to best address the needs of citizens?
