shoutout to @pid_eins for creating systemd -- systemd timers are 100x better than cron. Saved me a whole lot of time futzting with cron.

I’ve been rocking @kde in my work laptop for about a month now and it’s been amazing. Everything works. KDE Wayland screen sharing tiling it’s nice. So now I send the foundation 20 euros a month. I hope it continues for many years to come.

One reason I HATE like for or for is that they create table structures that make no sense. The structures can be ridiculous, like:

purchases, purchase_items, purchase_transactions, client_purchase_transactions ?!?!

Anyways -- do yourself a favor and consult a or a and come up with a 3rd Normal Form schema that makes sense. Please.

@tshirtman meh. I’ve seen ORMs used badly and lead to shit table structures. Specially the polymorphic tables which make no sense.

@gigatexal yeah, almost any tool, used badly will give bad results, and i've yet to see tools that could not be used badly in something as flexible as programming languages and information systems. I advocate for people so learn SQL and how database works whether they use an ORM or not.
Regarding polymorphism, my team purposely decided to use it for a specific use case in a recent app, after considering the problem and discussing the impact of the solution, but it's really rare.

@changelog do y’all vet the links in the changelog newsletter? Seems to be there’s a bunch of scam/sketchy projects.

@gigatexal Changelog Nightly is entirely automated. We’ve taken steps to curb spam/malware but it’s cat & mouse and all data is from GH so they are subverting their checks too.
