I was going to go into a rant about Ubuntu and Snap but then realised you were talking about Snapchat, show how much I use any of those big tech “products”

I think the ideas that android is an open os died a long time ago. If the android flavour doesn’t have the Google Play binaries it is next to useless

As a Trekkie it looked awesome to me but to my civilian friends it looked like made for TV garbage, then they saw it and loved it

Star Trek First Contact

My proof reading has failed me yet again (original fuck up: Star Trek First Conact)

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 don’t kink shame

Not if you want to actually swim in the water

I’m just buying a cheap <insert product here> is a common excuse for over consumption

If they move to Python they can just have pain without constant 😜

You just killed us all by putting a space between the dashes

This is not mildly infuriating this is the free internet being eroded through Google’s control of Chrome

It is so readable that you missed the fact it doesn’t have the FROM clause

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

And then we both lie to the client

I switch when it was Phoenix, then switch again when it was Firebird, and finally switch when it become Firefox

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
