Not specially you, just a comment about the license: OP’s problem with attribution is minor. The major problem they have is that Microsoft took his time to get a personal intro to the project, forked it and didn’t contribute back. That’s what he’s unhappy about. That there was no attribution is barely important.

Yes, choosing MIT doesn’t require hem to contribute back and it should’ve been a restrictive opensource license, but it seems he really thought they asked for a call in order to join in on the development.

Why do you believe windows is required to stay connected with the world? Are there specific applications you believe can only run on windows or for which you believe there is no alternative?

Just in case, you can have a look at https://alternativeto.net/ , input your windows application and find opensource alternatives that run on Linux. You can make a list and double check with the community here.

I ask because there might be a possibility for you to go full Linux. It depends on your requirements.

And already the purists are going “if I may interject for a moment” or screaming “reeeee”, as was expected. It’s like they can’t comprehend that the world has changed and that text written 25 years ago doesn’t stay correct, applicable, or right forever.

The pearl clutching gasp of “but this is against scripture” truly never gets old.

Everything has it’s uses. make is maybe good at incremental builds but is (an)used as a task runner which requires the use of “PHONY” in many places, it has about 6 different ways to declare and use variables all with different gotchas, generally has a convoluted syntax, it doesn’t support different interpreters per task, and lacks a bunch more features. Just explore the feature list and examples that just has.

It’s simply outdated and mostly lives by the power of defaults and graybeards insisting on its use. Therecs no surprise that things like cmake, nmake, and other tools sprung up to replace it.

I ripped the “met life” shirt off of the snoopy plush and trashed everything else.

Trashing was maybe unnecessary? Could’ve donated it to those in need.

However I do support the sentiment. Fuck Microsoft. Hopefully you’ll be able to find employment that is more fulfilling and less genocidal. (This is not a stab at you, I get working for an evil company and wanting to get away from it).

All of those look goofy af compared to just.

Can someone explain this meme? What’s going on with excel?

I can’t find documentation about that unfortunately 🧐 There’s woodpecker-cli exec but after testing that on the example pipeline, it does nothing even with verbose logging.

Do you have a functional example somewhere?

What if they pull in a new dependency with a CVE or that executes malicious code? How am I supposed to check that? Or what if I miss a bug in the justfile or shell script?

Do you have a link to that? There’s a blog entry “Earthly Switches to Open-source” From July 2023. Are they undoing that?

After perusing the docs, this looks more like it. Thank you. I’ll just have to explore how it can be combined with projects that use nix and those that don’t. My biggest issue with CIs has always been caching, but as the saying goes “there are 2 hard problems in computer science…”

Is that easy to run for contributors? Can you just gitea-run-ci and it’ll run the CI locally in your checked out repository?

Why ansible? I’m not sure how that fits in. Does that make running it locally easier? An example of working setup that I can checkout and run would be useful.

Anti Commercial-AI license

Not anymore

Are you able to run woodpecker locally from the repository? As in can woodpecker run in the checked out repository run the CI jobs?

Interesting. But what’s the Wayland protocol have to do with it? Where does that come in?

A blog entry on how it works and what it does at a high level could be nice. I’m not sure what I’m looking at, but there must be some API call to Lemmy and it’s probably happening on the server due to CORS; not sure how this would work just in the browser if the Lemmy instance has CORS setup…

Edit: OK the instance 0d.gs does in fact not have CORS 😮 That’s a little concerning…

Hold up, neither does programming.dev? Uh… @recursive_recursion@programming.dev and @Ategon@programming.dev is that safe? I’m not a security expert but doesn’t this allow for cross site attacks?

I read the blog post and am still confused as to what this is. It’s something I never used in X11 (if X11 supported it), therefore it’s not possible for me to miss it.

Is this the “restart all applications you were running when you restart your computer” feature? Was it broken in Wayland? If so, why? I thought the desktop environment would take care of starting the processes, placing the windows, and so on.

Not entirely sure what the before and after of this are. The blog post and article are written as if people know what this feature is.
