then the code maintainers are doing it wrong.
Any information that shouldn’t be public knowledge such as specs, account credentials, access tokens etc should be in a configurable/dynamic format such as an ENV variable or a config file, that way confidential info isn’t part of the working tree.
This should not be an issue in a properly maintained codebase.
- Comment on A WYSIWYG editor for personal website? 1 day ago:
chiming in, even excluding self host, I wouldn’t recommend wix, their sites are so bloated and take forever for me to load, and I’ve had Firefox just straight refuse to load pages before that are wix run.
- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 1 day ago:
This is me being selfish I’m fully aware, but I don’t want the EU to pull from those companies because it seems their the only countries willing to fight for the good causes and if they aren’t then the rest will suffer 10fold. At least in it’s current state it slowly feeds back to everyone else, I’m concerned if they pull the plug it’ll be full on anti-comsumer he’ll scape.
- Comment on YSK: You can disable scores (upvotes and downvotes) in lemmy, and I think it's great! 1 day ago:
it’s the only way to run the platform in my mind. It removes a lot of the hive mind aspect of it letting you just enjoy the platform how you want and give /your/ opinion of things instead of others opinions of things. I’ve had my scores disabled since a month or two after I started and it’s been so much more enjoyable.

- Comment on Xitter Pause Encrypted DMs. 5 days ago:
I mean fair, but when Encrypted DM went live, Twitter was just starting to get into the AI field, and it was amidst a very uncertain state at that time, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they haden’t even thought of it.
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 5 days ago:
I vet lesser known projects, but yea I do end up just taking credibility for granted.

that is my first thought as well.

I feel like the Interloper project addressed something similar to this. Man that’s a great rabbit hole.
- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews. 1 week ago:
pocket I never used. I found it ugly and just s violation of privacy as it moved a service that should be local only, to external webservers. I can see why it’s finally had the plug pulled

let me just get on that real quick 😂 I’m sure that the lack of people engaged in it doesn’t mean it’s hard or anything.
man if only it was that easy
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 2 weeks ago:
I’m fully okay with them doing so, but they have to disclose what they’re doing so. Like the fact that the review didn’t disclose that they were an employee is very sketchy to me.
- Comment on Hacker advertises alleged database of 89 million Steam 2FA codes 3 weeks ago:
Steam is one of the few apps that I’m fully okay with having on my phone and using for 2fa. I especially like that when I go to login it’s like Discord where I can scan a QR code to confirm from the App instead of having to type in a number that expires. Like it would be nice to have the other functionality as well but I’m content with their current system
- Comment on Hacker advertises alleged database of 89 million Steam 2FA codes 3 weeks ago:
Okay so where’s the value here? Like I’m sure the phone numbers are worthwhile but including the 2fa codes with the phone number doesn’t seem like worthfull information, unless steam doesn’t properly have OTP setup and they don’t expire in a timely manner, but I’m willing to bet that a company like steam has a properly configured system
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 3 weeks ago:
Not to mention the “see this big alert saying this isn’t safe? Well for this one time it /is/ safe so do so” While curbing the mentality of “oh it was safe last time so it must be safe this time”
- Comment on Ori Studio Head Says Review Bombing Might Force Studio Closure, Then Takes It All Back 3 weeks ago:
I don’t regret buying them, they are good games, but I don’t Condone shitty practices. If you restricted yourself to moral or ethic right companies only you would have nothing to buy sadly. You buying a game != you accepting the ideologies of the leadership of said game.
Just get games you know you enjoy, and ignore all the dramatics that are involved. Life’s to short to lock yourself down with it all.
- Comment on Ori Studio Head Says Review Bombing Might Force Studio Closure, Then Takes It All Back 3 weeks ago:
yea for real… like I didn’t even know it /was/ being review bombed, but as an avid fan of the Ori series… this puts a real sour taste in my mouth

no, they countered saying thre wasn’t enough zeros, and then they rectified the problem. Gotta make it seem like its a concern
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 3 weeks ago:
For real though, like I don’t see their monetary gain here. The only thing they’re encouraging is people to just not bother buying the switch in the first place in favor of other projects. I believe if they manage to go through with this and actually enforce these new terms, that were just going to see A Renewed effort of a completely independent emulator that can run their games. One that would allow third party modification and firmware
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 3 weeks ago:
IANAL but, If I’m understanding this article right, it sounds like their new terms are going to give them the authority to brick your Nintendo console if you reverse engineer it. If this is the case I firmly expect this is going to be challenged in court because if I understand the current laws right this directly contradicts the end users right to reverse engineer Hardware that they own. Nintendo would be allowed to terminate your account and block access to the network with them over it as that’s something that they actively maintain, however I don’t believe they can legally remove access to a piece of Hardware that you purchased, soley due to the fact that you reverse engineered and installed a third-party software to it.
Now don’t get me wrong, they can definitely refuse warranty if(and only if) that modification caused a malfunction, however it’s a big jump to go from we’re not going to repair your device and you’re no longer allowed to access our Network to this $400 object that you purchased is now a brick.
- Comment on Palworld had to remove game features because of Nintendo lawsuit 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think I understand your argument here.
I think a better comparison would be am I going to feel bad for the kid who got punched in the face with padding on, then decided that getting punched in the face was OK so they removed the padding. And the answer is firmly no
- Comment on Palworld had to remove game features because of Nintendo lawsuit 3 weeks ago:
I put a negative review for a company making their game worse, because that’s what they did.
The fact that they did it without a court decision saying “yes defo in the wrong here” didn’t help the decision making process.
I am firm in my decision, a game as big as palworld was, just bending over backwards to a patent bully like Nintendo doesn’t deserve a good review, and nothing is going to change that.
- Comment on Palworld had to remove game features because of Nintendo lawsuit 3 weeks ago:
if patents were actually used properly it would be no issue. They were meant to prevent other companies from stealing your mechanic as you were still in development, however it’s changed to be an abuse tactic to prevent others from entering the field.
- Comment on Palworld had to remove game features because of Nintendo lawsuit 3 weeks ago:
and just like that, my temporary negative review just became permanent. Heavily against allowing bullying like this.

interesting, I wasn’t aware it wasn’t allowed sale.

I mean concidering Tesla lost the EU market, it’s likely this will go unchallenged. but yes shitty but expected from the company.
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 5 weeks ago:
discord is not a forum (even if they want it to be with the forum channels), its never been a good location to store information. That being said, its amazing for real time communication unlike forums. I hate that devs use it for FAQ and bug forms and stuff. I stopped reporting bugs if it requires me to join a discord.
- Comment on Nintendo issues Switch 2 supply warning in Japan: 2.2 million people have applied to buy the new console in Japan so far, which ‘far exceeds’ Nintendo’s expectations. 5 weeks ago:
this is what i meant yea, just delay shipping to store outside the initial batch until all preorders are completed. Or in a perfect world not at all until preorders have been made. It’s obvious that its possible after the ps5/xb1 launch where the shelves were basically bare for weeks at a time after launch.
Just have everyone join the queue and call it a day, or better yet, make release day a Nintendo only thing, and then after pre-orders are handled, then start giving to the stores.
- Comment on Nintendo issues Switch 2 supply warning in Japan: 2.2 million people have applied to buy the new console in Japan so far, which ‘far exceeds’ Nintendo’s expectations. 1 month ago:
This is so dumb.
“We had way more preorders than expected, in order to fulfill our preorders, we will be delaying in store sales until after preorders have been completed”
that would bd such a simple solution. It’s not like they are out any money either way, and pushing an instore sale date back to make other prior commitments work isn’t a horrible thing, it just means that people who didn’t bother to preorder won’t get it day 1, but most who wanted it day 1 would have pre-ordered it anyway.

In my eyes your native language is the language that you’re from birth because it’s the one that you started. It doesn’t have to be the one that you’re the most proficient but it usually is. The definition is
the language or dialect first learned by an individual or first used by the Parent/Guardian with a child
Your primary language is the language you use the most which in your case sounds like it’s English
