I don’t remember the details, but the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities from a few years ago also felt like they were cutting corners. Those were enabled by some fundamental architectural decisions, which really just didn’t sound like a good idea to me, when I read up on them.

Am vegan. Certainly don’t eat nearly as much as @Carnelian@lemmy.world. But it is a pretty flexible food. Like, I can get soy yoghurt that tastes like the real deal. I can get TVP, which is chewy like a steak. I just had fucking noodles out of 85% soy + 15% chickpeas, and they actually tasted good. And of course, the all-time classic: Soy sauce.

I don’t stan for soy nearly as much as many others, because other legumes and nuts are awesome, too, but you just can’t deny that soy covers a lot of bases quite well.

Instant messengers.

Oh man, I use a shopping list app, which lets you sort the products into aisles, so that you can just walk through the store and complete the checklist top-to-bottom as you visit each aisle.

This would be excellent for that.

As others said, it’s generally a routine thing. I did once see a Mastodon post from a climate scientist, where they expressed that they’re losing hope.
If that’s the kind of reconciling you’re talking about, I imagine every climate scientist has gone through that, but it’s something they tend to deal with individually rather than stating it publicly.

The problem is that you don’t want to give the public the impression that it’s hopeless. Fossil fuel corporations will use that against you. And it just does not make rational sense.
Any amount of greenhouse gas that we don’t put into the atmosphere makes our lives easier. Even if you give up hope for some particular goal, you would still want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible, so that it doesn’t become worse sooner.

Climate change already affects our lives. We really don’t want it to become worse sooner.

Everything I implement at work is open source because I don’t want to wait for a purchase approval.

Just to say, though, I feel like 99% of the software we deploy is open-source for that exact reason. Projects generally start out small, where you try to evaluate some concept. You’re not gonna spend months to go through the purchase process of some proprietary tool, if you can help it…

This is already the second meme I’ve seen with that joke, just different examples. Seems like the invasion in the Middle East triggers a whole lot of dejavuing. 🥴

Yeah, if the fascists want to lock you up, they’ll declare you a terrorist. You need to make sure that the non-fascists know this is not true.

So, uh, if you’re already using jq, this should also format JSON:

echo "{\"key\":\"value\"}" | jq

😅

Well, even before those, there were machines which wouldn’t spin the can. It would just conveyor-belt it under the sensor, not find a barcode and then conveyor-belt it back out, until you turned it the right way around…

Well, this version is going to be in the Ubuntu repos eventually, but might take a while. Ubuntu 26.04 is already in feature-freeze, so it’ll be in 26.10 at the earliest (or 28.04, if you follow the LTS releases).

I guess, it would probably also show up in the “backports” repo before that, if you enable that, but might be easiest to use the Flatpak or AppImage instead…

World user thinks confirming a prejudice they hold is humor. Shocker, I guess?

These machines used to require you to put the barcode into the right position. Maybe they’re still used to those machines and therefore look for the barcode on each container?

I guess, that’s not my kind of humor then…

Their biggest challenge is getting attention, because most users just use the default browser. A redesign brings them into the news, as can be seen above.

Very different personnel involved in those tasks…

Yeah, but what’s the joke in the meme?

I don’t get it…

A colleague is leaving the job at the end of the month and our vacation booking system said she had 16 vacation days left, so she booked those at the end of the month, her supervisor approved, she handed over all her tasks, returned the hardware and everything, and thought she was done working here.

On her first day off, the supervisor calls her to let her know that she can’t actually take that many vacation days. Because she quit in the first quarter of the year, she only gets a quarter of the vacation days for the year, which the vacation booking system did not account for and well, the supervisor had not noticed while approving either.

Like, it’s kind of just how the contract and laws and everything works. I don’t know, if the supervisor offered to convert it to unpaid leave, but that’s kind of the only real thing, they could’ve done here. But yeah, still just such a dumb situation after all…
