I agree.

You could say that about any kind of autocomplete. Why would people install snippet plugins into their vim/emacs? Sure you can just type everything by hand but it’s just more convenient.

Personally I find these kinds of inline AI suggestions make a more convincing use case than trying to prompt engineer a Chat based LLM and diverting your attention to phrasing specifics instead of the actual problem space.

If your build fails because you can’t track down the literal ≠ in the code I would recommend just looking at the compiler error. I understand the concerns about == vs = more but the vast majority of LSPs (and some compilers) will catch that too.

I have also yet to see any IDE enable ligatures by default, at least VS Code and the JetBrains suite both require opting into them even though their default fonts support them.

It doesn’t help that US diverging diamonds seem to insist on having pedestrians walk through the median.

But honestly all interchanges are varying degrees of horrible and if you want your city to be bearable to navigate as a pedestrian/cyclist you just really don’t want to do urban highways, or roads above a certain size in general.

The GDPR conversation is hilarious. Sure they’re a US based company, but after 5 years of operation I would’ve expected them to have consulted a lawyer about this at some point. Forgetting (assuming it’s not “forgetting”) about the required documentation is not the worst thing in the world morally but it doesn’t exactly make them look competent either.

Does your script fork at some point (and might exit before the rsync job is completed)? Because then you need to use Type=forking instead of simple or oneshot, otherwise systemd will start trying to clean up child processes when the script exits.

Edit: Actually considering the time span involved Type=forking will not solve your issue because it will timeout, if this is the problem you need to change your script to not do that.

TimeoutStopSec applies to the ExecStop command, TimeoutStartSec would be the culprit here. I’m not sure why there would be a default timeout of specifically 1:39 minutes though.

Indeed, that all looks fairly innocuous. Just in case, you are sure that you didn’t just accidentially kill or killall rclone or bash?

Perhaps wrapping the script in might help debug where the offending signal is coming from.

Also ich bin mit dem Lebenswerk von Feddersen nicht im Geringsten vertraut aber dieser Satz aus dem Artikel:

Was sie stattdessen liefert, ist ein Kampf um Symboliken. Für das Recht auf die Identität als Nonbinäre des Geschlechtlichen, für Transfluidität, damit im Übrigen in Allianz mit dem medizinisch-pharmakologischen Komplex, der seine chirurgischen und chemischen Manipulationsmöglichkeiten begründet sehen wollte

ist schon irgendwie arg disqualifizierend. Das ist ungefähr die Ebene von den Leuten, die noch klug genug sind, nicht explizit von Bill Gates Mikrochips zu reden, und stattdessen bei jeder passenden und unpassenden Gelegenheit die Zeit finden, um auf die Möglichkeit von Impfschäden und finanzielle Interessen von Pfizer & Co. hinzuweisen. Nur halt für die Gesundheitsversorgung von Transmenschen statt für die von von COVID Gefährdeten.

To be fair this also happened to Eagle Dynamics, developer of DCS, the other “realistic” flight sim that players take far too seriously. Except there it was a Dev that got arrested in Georgia and extradited to the US…

Depends on where one lived at the time I suppose, the Russian economy didn’t exactly do great. It wasn’t life ending for the majority of people, but then neither was Fukushima, or most of these really.

While unfortunate, not shipping these standard Google apps is not really an option for any Android manufacturer due to Google requirements. Including them is required if you want to use anything from the GSM, which includes things like the Play Store and everything it touches. You can technically ship a different Android distribution like Lineage or /e/, but that’s not really what most people will be expecting of an “Android” phone and will narrow the viable target demographic even more than the value proposition already does.
