He's of Italian descent.

Update: spoke to the Head Dev this morning and made sure I knew what my position was, so it's definitely prioritising the project's speed first.

Then spoke with the Senior in question and apologised for any friction, and suggested we do a debrief after the first phase of development and go back and smooth things over.

All went well! Thanks for your thoughts everyone.

I wouldn't necessarily say OpenAPI and Composer are new technologies, they're tried and tested and commonplace across most PHP projects. I totally get his point. He's an older dev who's sat comfortably for too long with an ageing stack, and now is completely behind the new guys who are coming in from other companies and wanting to change things.

I think the place we disagree is that I believe technology is a place where progression is a hard requirement of the job. Computers get better, customers get more demanding, old solutions improved. You need to improve, every day.

My issue is more when the response to a new piece of minor technology that will make our lives easily is: "I don't want to learn YAML".

What about the phrase "sunlight is the best disinfectant"?. You can allow people to air their opinions (regardless of whether you believe they're bigoted or not) and it'll hurt their cause. Alex Jones is nothing but a meme now because of having a platform.

Doesn't banning these people prove their ideas and conspiracies right and force them deeper underground?

If they aren't promoting literal violence, leave them be. Just because they upset some people isn't a reason to ban them.

The Westboro Baptist Church is a prime example of airing their foul opinions causing almost a complete exodus and switch on behalf of the church members. If you think you're right, try to convince them.

You do realise that every single social platform favours your way of thinking? You are pretending like you aren't fully in charge.

All you need to do is shout "my feelings!" and you get results. Like toddlers shouting for cookies.

I was one of those people, I've been changed. I know a lot of other people too. Maybe try to look outside of an echo chamber sometime.

One of the ones he bought is sold on Apple's website, so I don't think so.

The fact that the website hasn't been updated since 2020 and still has an open CVE shines the light on Flatpak's attention to security.

Regarding point 3, if that's true, then why are all of the most-dowloaded packages on Flathub mislabelled as 'sandboxed' when they have full write access to a user's home directory? That isn't a sandbox.

Flatpak currently has a 7.2 vulnerability that has gone unaddressed since 2017. The maximum vulnerability rating is a 9, so this is quite major.

I'd recommend that you stop using Flatpak immediately, it's a horrific security nightmare.

The virtual desktops functionality is miles above any other DE, specifically. The settings are really simple, and the options in the right click context menus are really well featured.

After the amount of capeshit that's been coming out of Hollywood in the past 10 years, this can only be a benefit.

Ohh, so it seems like bark is edible but wood isn't. Definitely chimes with other answers above.

This is actually brilliant news.

Crunkle_Foreskin, 10 months ago

Phrasing it that way is really solid and makes a lot of sense.

Treating people differently because of their beliefs? I'm not even that conservative, but you sound like the real bigots.

Crunkle_Foreskin, 10 months ago

It's pure projection. They put up a wall thinking that they're the ones choosing, but they're actually the ones that aren't attractive to others because of the black-and-white way they see the world.

Crunkle_Foreskin, 10 months ago

You realise that beliefs are a shifting scale, right? Not everybody with beliefs right of center are alt-right Nazis. I can't stand those people either.

I used to be similar to you, until I met people with a whole host of opinions. I wish you well.

I wouldn't use the word "stuck", Bash is a result of over 50 years of technological advancement and experience. It works on servers, remotely, is lean and powerful. It's not that user friendly, because it doesn't need to be.

ZSH and Fish are available on *nix systems for a little bit more sugar. I personally don't use raw Bash because I just love what ZSH can do, but I love writing Bash scripts.

Oh yeah, this is awful.

I recently bought a new printer, and getting something like an HP set up on Linux was a heart-breaking experience.

It'd be really nice to have a Kickstarter for an "open-source" printer, where cartridge standards can be produced and you can buy them and use them freely.

Visiting my terminally ill father in hospital after he had a fall. I asked him what that huge bruise on his neck was, if it was from the fall.

"No, it's the cancer." Was the thing he said, and I'll never forget it. Crazy. Turns out the tumour was cutting off blood flow to his brain and causing him to pass out. He died a month later. Almost a year to that day now.

Love you, Dad.
