I worked on software at one point that had at it’s core a number of “modes” that it switched between. It was, at the time, in the process of migrating from enums and switch/case trees to an inheritance based system.

In practice this meant there was a single instance of “Mode” for each mode which used pointer equality to switch/case on modes like an enum.

To add a new mode (that did nothing) I think I had to change about 6 different places.

Interesting to see how different that is from Australia. In your example only lane 3 is a passing lane, and “undertaking” isn’t a thing, it’s completely legal to overtake in any lane.

Two of the “questions” are just statements

Unpaid Open Source developers will have trouble fulfilling increasing government requirements, for example the EU Cyber Security Act.

Emerging companies like Tidelift, which pay developers, will solve the current problems of Open Source.

Open Source Software follows the Open Source Definition, while Free Software follows the Free Software Definition.

They have heavy overlap, one is not a subset of the other, and they are similarly restrictive, just shepherded by different groups. I’m sure there are licences that satisfy one but not the other, but they would have to be few and far between; just reading through each it’s not obvious how one could satisfy only one definition.

Note to studios: there is no amount of potential, unrealised profit that makes it ethical to install malware on another person’s computer.

How about MNT Reform or it’s Pocket little brother?

They get you

• Full mechanical keyboards, ortholinear if you’re into that
• Modern components
• HIGHLY modular and repairable - their main thrust is making messing with your internals accessible
• No sticky goo coating
• Cyberdeck aesthetics (esp the Pocket reform)

They do NOT get you

• Low price - you didn’t mention a budget constraint
• Thin. They are chunky kids, though certainly the Pocket reform has a reasonably portable profile

Did you… try?

Scrum that’s not adapted to your needs isn’t scrum.

The entire suite of new TLDs was dumb as a bag of rocks, but dot zip really takes the cake

Ironic slang is just slang that hasn’t grown up yet.

What plugins can you recommend?

I think the only markdown plugin I’ve used was for table alignment.

Thank you, I love this

After reading that whole article I feel no more enlightened.

They mentioned secure boot, is secure boot part of the exploit or does the exploit invalidate secure boot?

It’s amazing to watch the old, rusted machine of antitrust slowly grinding back to life, bit by bit.

I’ve met multiple sites that won’t load the unsubscribe page without disabling ad blockers.

Those get spam listed the same as login walls.

Can you just drop to assembly for what you want to do? Gnu compilers even have inline assembly, but with any compiler you should at least be able to built a separate, assembly, object file.

I know you put in scare quotes, but I have to note for newcomers: as an open software built on an open web standard, 3rd party apps are first class citizens for Lemmy
