This, 100% It’s like how people started saying “PC” because personal computer was too long for them, but now I exclusively hear people taking up to a minute on each letter! (peeeeeeee-seeeeeeee)

Ascii needs seven bits, but is almost always encoded as bytes, so every ascii letter has a throwaway bit.

Wait till you here about every ascii letter. . .

Yup! Completely butchered that spelling, sorry for anyone who tried to google them.

Ah that sucks! What kind of issues did she have?

I’m obviously one person, so not a good sample, but I’ve had F4 with stock android for about 3 uears and haven’t seen any bugs yet, even with android auto.

As to the camera, I’d agree it’s “fine” but if you ignore the repairability and ethical supply chain angle, you can definitely get a much better camera for the same price range.

To be fair, it does have a big security emphasis. I don’t know enough about either /E/OS or GOS to know how they compard but /E/OS does some cool things like sandboxing apps etc for security.

I’m writing from F4 as well. The longer I own it, the more I’m impressed. Fixability has saved me replacing the phone twice now (I dropped it on the screen, and got cement in the usb charger).

If you’re just considering spec, its fairly pricey, but the repairability easily makes up for it. Have a pair of their bluetooth headphones too which I love.

Question for OP: how did you find installing /e/OS? I have android still but am thinking about trying to install.

Might not be the same, but they do partner with Murino to offer an /e/os degoogled alternative.

Tbf we don’t know how many columns there are /s

I use Cosmic and really like it- have used i3, Awesome and Gnome in the past for a while too, I really likes them.

The most time I spent with a set up was Awesome + rofi, which I really enjoyed. I customised literally everything and spent hours tweaking stuff.

That was super fun, but in all honesty my workflow is more or less:

1. Open up a terminal (alacritty, tmux + fish shell + helix editor)
2. Open up a browser (Firefox, have played with others but there’s always some quirk where I give up)
3. That’s it.

Honestly, all the tweaking is fun for me, but with my workflow I have like 0 requirements for anything fancy. Daily driving cosmic is going nicely for now, and seems to mostly get out of my way.

Sounds like it’s working great for you- I wish it would for me too! I’m not OP but some of my main gripes are:

• Most calls have, for at least one caller, a wierd lag time where the call doesn’t start for 10 seconds or so

• Quite frequently (I’d guess 5 calls a month) a call will be disrupted by teams failing completely for someone on the call (camera not working, not being able to join etc)

• It uses a lot of RAM even when idling

• It has hundreds of features, like “together mode” that bloat the software without adding to its core functionality

• The UI is a confused mess, and the conceptual split between teams, channels and chats is messyat best.

On top of that, I don’t find teams makes me more productive, if feels like a constant distraction that modern corporate culture requires me to have, even though its a net drop in productivity. This last point is more on instant messengers as a whole, but it doesn’t place me in a very charitable or forgiving mindset for interpretting Team’ multitude of flaws.

Later on, George swipes when she shows a picture to get even, finds out she supports the wrong baseball team, and spends the rest of the episode trying to break up with her without revealing whybecause she’d find out that he swiped.

Think you’re confusing the French Revolution (violent uprising of the French against their aristocratic rulers during the Enlightenment) with the French Resistance (Underground movement during WW2 that resisted Nazi occupation)

Here’s my hot tip! (ok maybe luke warm)

Write as much of your CICD in a scripting language like bash/python/whatever. You’ll be able to test it locally and then the testing phase of your CICD will just be setting up the environment so it has the right git branches coined, permissions, etc.

You won’t need to do 30 commits now, only like 7! And you’ll cry for only like 20 minutes instead of a whole afternoon!

Man, I sure wish cybertrucks had been around to deflect when I spent 7 years driving a Fiat Panda.

Oh boy, have fun! CTEs have pretty wide support, so you might be in luck (well at least in that respect, in all other cases you’re still using saleforce amd my commiserations are with you)

I have advice that you didn’t ask for at all!

SQL’s declarative ordering annoys me too. In most languages you order things based on when you want them to happen, SQL doesn’t work like that- you need to order query dyntax based on where that bit goes according to the rules of SQL. It’s meant to aid readability, some people like it a lot,but for me it’s just a bunch of extra rules to remember.

Anyway, for nested expressions, I think CTEs make stuff a lot easier, and SQL query optimisers mean you probably shouldn’t have to worry about performance.

I.e. instead of:

SELECT
  one.col_a,
  two.col_b
FROM one
LEFT JOIN
    (SELECT * FROM somewhere WHERE something) as two
    ON one.x = two.x

you can do this:

WITH two as (
     SELECT * FROM somewhere
     WHERE something
)

SELECT
  one.col_a,
  two.col_b
FROM one
LEFT JOIN two
ON one.x = two.x

Especially when things are a little gnarly with lots of nested CTEs, this style makes stuff a tonne easier to reason with.

Ok really tangential rant here!

I find societal attitudes to art and morality really crazy.

I don’t necessarily disagree with the idea that art and morality should be linked, but it only ever seems to happen in a negative capacity of “don’t listen to x because they did y”.

There’s a whole strain of:

• Artists who are not necessarily bad people, but whose art is aggresively immoral (I guess an obvious example would be Biggie Smalls or someone who frequently raps about sexual assault and violence in a positive way, but also the ammount of mainstream pop or country that has sexist or racist undertones)
• Artists who try hard to inject their morality into their work (such as Becky Chambers’ climate positive fiction, or Giancinto Scelsi’s anti-facist music)

On the whole, I don’t see anyone care very much about the above two points, people just “like what they like”, which is as if we think morality and art are two seperate things.

That makes sense, but then there’s this wierd category where “oh that person did this bad thing, so now their art is invalid”.

So, what’s the overall attitude? Like, art isn’t related to morality generally, but there’s some mysterious line where if it’s crossed art moves into the “forbidden zone”?

I’m all for calling bad people to account for their moral behaviour, but the way we do it in art is so jumbled and inconsistent.

Short answer is no, I think because what tools you need for programming change so much based on the development you’re doing. C++ developers need compiler toolchain stuff that Javascript developers would never need to look at and vice versa.

Curveball answer is that modern extensible IDEs with the power of language servers and plugins have kind of become this. I’d massively recommend properly getting into one of the following and learning how to configure new languages and plugins:

• VScode
• Neovim
• Emacs
• Helix

(Sure I’ve probably missed some great options, feel free to flame me on why notepad++ should be OPs first choice)
