People sticking with audio jack phones, why is USB-C earphones not a solution?

Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the...

MagicalVagina,

On the micro USB connector yes. The usb-c connector is a totally different beast. I have no idea how you are wearing out USBC connectors. They are usually rated for 10,000 plug/unplug cycles.

MagicalVagina,

You can use Gitlab exactly the same as GitHub though if you use the hosted Gitlab. I have multiple of my open source projects on Gitlab.com and everyone can access.

MagicalVagina,

For example I think GitLabs CI is the worst on the market but if you integrate another CI you don't have a means to feedback information into Gitlab.

You can do almost everything with the Gitlab API so I'm curious what issue you had.
I'm also not sure why "Gitlab CI is the worst on the market"? I really like in particular that I can have my own gitlab-runner on any machine.

MagicalVagina,

Ah yes this I agree. But it's not like it's different on GitHub. I guess I got confused because you said "Advantage of Github over Gitlab is code discoverability.".
While no it's the same? There is no advantage for GitHub

MagicalVagina,

All of what you said seems completely doable to me.

Primarily I want it to comment/annotate changes so peer review focusses on logic and warnings are clear.

You can. See https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/predefined_variables.html

CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE

How the pipeline was triggered. Can be push, web, schedule, api, external, chat, webide, merge_request_event, external_pull_request_event, parent_pipeline, trigger, or pipeline

You have full access to the API and can do whatever you want in the MR too.

I want the ability to specify multiple reusable pipelines, in a central place. This is not possible in cloud.

You can, with CI templates. Templates can be in a completely different repository

Lastly I would like to have multiple potential pipelines in a repository (e.g. smoke test and release).

I do have different pipelines for staging and production in my projects with no issue.

MagicalVagina,

I'm only using the hosted version, it works. I do have a separate gitlab-runner in GCP at the moment though that is working fine.
If something doesn't work for you I suggest creating a ticket?

MagicalVagina,

In term of privacy this is pretty bad though. From the upvotes/downvotes activity you can very easily build a whole graph of stuff you like/dislike. For advertisers that's juicy data.

MagicalVagina,

I can't say for all of Europe, but at least in France it's simply included in the bill at most restaurants. Around 15%. It's not that different in the end. Just easier to forget about it as the prices on the menu are service included.
For restaurants at least. Not talking about fast foods.

Source:

Les serveurs reçoivent un salaire décent et ne dépendent pas des pourboires, et les cafés et restaurants sont tenus par la loi d'inclure des frais de service (personnel et les couverts pour un montant généralement 15 %) sur la facture depuis 1984

https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pourboire

MagicalVagina,

Okay, let me rephrase then, it's not that different for the customer. You have to pay for it, it's included in your bill...
OP said we don't have mandatory tips in France. We literally do, they are including in the bill. They are not called tips but service charge, but that's the same thing considering tips are in fact service charge in the US. But yeah sure they don't have to ask for it.

Why are conversations on Reddit often so hostile and toxic now days?

Reddit used to be a great platform to discuss some topic and get different points of few in a friendly but factual manner. However, slowly it seems like the platform has become a lot more like Facebook, where it's been invaded by toxic people that are constantly looking for opportunities to shit and hate on others....

MagicalVagina,

This is not just Reddit imho. Look at Twitter, everyone is mad all the time over there. I'm not sure how to explain what is happening but it's all over the board imho. People get offended for everything, they seem to fail at empathy, they love to hate, it makes them feel good about themselves, every topic is somehow black or white too.

MagicalVagina,

Thanks. So there isn't really a search, you have to list all the magazines and do the search yourself it seems. Also calling https://kbin.social/api/magazines would only return local magazines right. So there is a need for a service doing that crawling/indexing of all magazines from all available instances regularly.

MagicalVagina,

It has been mentioned, but this is not a search. It is a way to list all local magazines of an instance. Does not go through the fediverse as far as I know.

MagicalVagina,

Isn't this violating the GDPR? At least for European citizens.

MagicalVagina,

My understanding is no. You would need account migration. And at the moment kbin or lemmy does not support it?
Only Mastodon seem to support that.

https://joinfediverse.wiki/Moving_instances

For me this is still a big issue to solve. But hopefully will happen at some point.

MagicalVagina,

The main issue I see with that is the privacy issue. You can host your kbin instance with your own domain yes, but then everyone can see your domain after your username. And it becomes quite easy to doxx you then...

MagicalVagina,

Not sure what you mean. Sure you can buy any domain and put it behind. But ultimately you are much easier to doxx. Between whois, server IP etc. Then there is the issue of the security on that server too, but that's another story. What would be better is to have a way to put this behind TOR/I2p, that would make things a bit better.
On a centralized website the issue is less present as only the admins of the server can see the details about you, ip etc (maybe mods can too on reddit, not sure), here everyone can see everything, it's a lot more invasive imho. Everytime you upvote/downvote something, your account handle is saved on the post as upvoter/downvoter. This is very juicy data to build profiles and analytics on people.

MagicalVagina,

Between this and the requirement for email address at registration I find the lack of privacy on kbin/fediverse a bit curious. I don't see why such a feature brings value, but at the same time I guess it's more for a technical reason. The list of users who upvoted need to be saved anyway and as it's decentralized anyway anyone can read it. Just wished it was hashed instead, or replaced by some digital signature.
