I worked with Azure Boards and the entire TFS stack for multiple years and it's a horrible experience. It's very slow, buggy and especially the access-management is so poorly designed, most engineers had admin rights, because we tried for hours and ended it with "fuck it" and gave them admin rights, so they could do their job.

I like to listen to podcasts in the gym and I will interrupt my set to skip sponsors and ads. The enshittification on Spotify is particularly bad as they now play ads in addition to sponsorings for premium listeners.

I have been adblocking on YouTube for as long as I remember. Personally I think it's unusable without an adblocker. What's the alternative? Because I am not suddenly going to pay for a platform that keeps getting worse all the time.

A racing game that has a very nice track builder and is very open to modding. Its focus is on the individual driver and the time they achieve on a track.

Flying for hundreds of meters, drifting under water, going at high speeds through multiple loopings, sliding on ice and so much more is totally possible with Trackmania.

Try it, the base game is free and their pricing for online services and cups is totally fine.

But the corporations are selling us the litter.

Of course it's not okay to throw your trash out in nature, no argument here. The source of that problem is corporations, though. They produce stupid packaging and tools made out of cheap plastic that is bad for the environment. It happens due to the same greed that causes climate change.

Corporations are directly responsible for their product, the trash they create and their impact on the environment.

Don't let them tell you otherwise, because that's what they are trying to do.

It's not. The default sorter does that, because that way it can sort pretty much anything without breaking at runtime. You can overwrite it easily, though. For the example above you could simply do it like this:

[3, 1, 10].sort((a, b) => a - b)

Returns: [1, 3, 10]

JS !== Java

Try Javascript some day!

  • We have truthy and falsy! Empty string or null? Yeah, that's false!
  • Of course we can parse a string to number, but if it's not a number it's NaN!
  • null >= 0 is true!
  • Assign a variable with =, test type equality with == and test actual equality with ===. You will NEVER use the wrong amount of = anywhere, trust me!
  • Our default sort converts everything to string, then sorts by UTF-16 code. So yes, [1, 10, 3] is sorted and you are going to live with it.
  • True + true = 2. You know I'm right.

Try Javascript today!

on My own mail server · c/selfhosted · 7 pts · 2y

I have my own mailserver just for me and it wasn't that complicated to be honest. I set it up with Mailcow in Docker in under a day. So far it has been stable with regular backups and updates through Lighthouse.

Maintenance comes down to 5 minutes every three months because somehow Let's Encrypt and Mailcow don't like each other and I have to renew the certificate manually.

Came here the same way you did and I share your point of view.

However I do think there is enlightening to be found in understanding that a human is only a consciousness that exists from moment to moment and receives external stimuli. Getting to this through meditation helped me being less affected by all the stuff that is going wrong in the world.

Step back from it. Reduce it to the light and sound it is. It takes some of its impact away.

I greatly disagree with seeing morality and immortality as the same, as well as life and death. Having an ethical and socialist view on the world is very important, even when not being affected by the unethical and unsocial aspects.
