  • Yeah, I feel this one. We currently have significantly less dev velocity than the velocity at which requirements come in. So, unless something actually is the highest priority right now, there's a pretty low chance of it ever being worked on.

    And then, yeah, I can be "professional" and say that we'll work on it when we find time for it. That's technically not a lie.
    But we both know that it's not going to happen, so it's actually better for the customer to take that reality at face value and find another solution.

  • YouTube made a change to their content curation algorithm a few years ago, which favors longer videos, because they can fit more ads into those. As a result, even topics that could be perfectly covered in shortform videos get documentary-length videos.

    But actually creating a densely packed documentary is a lot of work, so instead you get three intros, an unboxing, a tasting and half a life story for a video on how to bake a bread.

  • Ah, so you've scripted a whole bunch of stuff with YUM. Then you automatically have the downside that switching over could incur hours of work.

    As much as the software developer in me wants to encourage you to use DNF (or an abstraction like pkcon) for newer scripts, in case they want to remove YUM one day, I get not wanting to deal with two separate tools.

    In my head, switching over was trivial, i.e. just typing D, N, F instead of Y, U, M, because that was my experience when I switched over way back when I was still a freshly hatched penguin.

  • I've always liked Zypper (and if I remember correctly, DNF was also fine), purely because it feels sane in everything it does.

    We love to make a religion out of them, but a package manager is ultimately just a secondary tool. It installs other tools, which are what you're actually interested in using.
    So, I shouldn't need to learn a scramble of letters to achieve that. I shouldn't need to think about refreshing the repository listing. The less I need to worry about instructing the package manager, the better.

  • I couldn't have imagined this playing out any other way. You'd need major changes to Windows to make it feel sensible here. And those are expensive as hell. If this were genuinely the horse that Microsoft's investors are betting on, then I could have seen that kind of money being invested. But yeah, no, the horseshit they're betting on is AI.

  • Als bei mir zum ersten Mal die App angezeigt hat, dass ich zu Bussteig "O" soll, dachte ich da hat sich jemand bei der Eingabe vertippt, weil ich mir nicht vorstellen konnte, dass es irgendwo so viele Steige gibt. 🙃

  • These days, lots of detergents actually work better in cold water. They contain enzymes for dissolving e.g. blood stains, and those enzymes are typically proteins, which fall apart when heated too much. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe (most?) proteins fall apart around 42°C. This might be simplifying far too much.

    But yeah, basically you want to generally wash at 30°C.
