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

You know they only make the drugs, Americans sniff them. So Americans should stop doing drugs and creating the market. I know you intended this as sarcasm but after 47 years of being Colombian even the jokes get old really fast

Evil-er

Hmmm I haven’t. I’ll need to give it a go in a year or so

I have a Kona Electric but I think my next car will be either a Polestar 2 if I can afford it or an EX30. Volvo/Polestar are doing things extremely well

Exactly. As the article says the growth of BYD is the biggest challenge to all other manufacturers. They are selling like hotcakes

In Australia BYDs sell like hotcakes

I have a Hyundai Kona Electric and it is fantastic. My next car will be the next version on the Kona EV in a few years

SublimeText is a much better alternative

SublimeText is a much superior alternative. Notepad++ is like being stuck in the 2000s

What works for me is opening a new Private windows on Firefox, with ublock installed, and then login into YouTube. I do have to login every time I hope a private windows by so far I’ve been able to watch unlimited videos with an ad blocker installed

Today I learned :)

Why not post a link to the actual XKCD comic and give the author the views instead of a random site?

Code created by a LLM still needs to be interpreted and understood by a human so it can be made useful in a software development context. So yeah the article is exaggerating the impact of AI for coding I think, in my opinion it will become yet another tool at a developer’s disposal to speed up their work

The current Colombian government is a leftist version of the Trump administration, including an extremely corrupt populist president and with nepotism all over the place. Nothing the government does has any substance and it is all for show so I would not be surprised if these people are back to their old ways once the current president is voted out.

Is Johnny English on the case? Or maybe Bond?

Modern keyboards are an evolution of the old typewriter that existed before computers as we know them and programming as we know it existed, so I would say keyboard came first

Never underestimate the risk of an attack coming from the inside.

Also once you have an implementation with a certain kind of authentication other devs are likely to copy what you have successfully deployed and then your security assumptions will make it into public facing code without much consideration
