Yes Snap is the bane of my existence. I actually had to create an ansible playbook for work that permanently removes the snap version of Firefox and then installs the official apt from Mozilla’s PPA. And on top I install other things my teams needs like VSCode and Chromium without using snaps. A nice repeatable process I wish I didn’t have to create but when certain clients insist on Ubuntu there is not much else to do

Some of them add bugs disguised as features, like Ubuntu’s snap

I know XML is very last century but if they could coexist in one file, a file that treats each config section as an object, so we can create a Project Object Model, call it pom for simplicity, and then if you are old store it in xml and the you could have only one file and call it pom.xml and then maybe one day someone can make this very useful file a bit more modern and turn it into json or yaml but for now a single pom.xml could save us from that config hell others speak of /s

USB-C and usb 2/3 are not the same thing. You can have a standards compliant USB-C port shape that delivers USB2 speeds which is what the non-pro has and a USB-C port that implements USB3 which is what the pro has. What arstechnica says is that in bot cases for the Pro and non-pro Apple delivered a standard usb implementation with no additional proprietary requirements

And then we both lie to the client

Before 3.9 the lack of type hints made it a nightmare for large projects. Strong typing is, among other benefits, a way of self documentation and helps IDEs with auto-complete. If I use Python I always use type hints and if I have to use JS sigo with Typescript instead

It is the same fight that we all fought against Microsoft IE but Google has been a lot smarter with their shit fuckery

What does that have to do with Google’s ability to force their view of the world through the dominance of the browser share market?

Firefox. It is the only thing keeping Google from total internet domination

I hate it during the workout but I love the feeling after. Problem for me is getting started

Yes, I found it hard at the start but communities are slowly starting to form. Nothing positive (like ditching spez) comes without some pain

I live in Melbourne Australia and we drink water straight out of the tap. Even restaurants give you tap water
