Another correlary: learn lots of languages, even if you’ll never use them. I never want to fall into a codebase that I’ve never even learned the paradigms. One procedural, one functional, one OOP, one interpreted, one compiled, one byte code compiled, one or two command line scripts, regex, all the structured data text languages: XML, CSV, JSON, YAML, TOML, … A JavaScript framework. HTML. A relational database, a non relational db. REST.

Should be enough to get started lol. But you learn something from each, about code architecture at least.

Always learn the languages preferred directory and repo layout structure, never invent your own.

Read the damn code

Every article about weather should say “this event is made more likely due to climate change” and “this event will cost the taxpayer $X to repair” and “so far we have spent $Y total on climate related disaster relief”

I’ll just say I read this book and it was very hard to understand without socialist lingo in your mind. It’s more of a rant than anything. I really wish it was more of a beat down of capitalist economics, but it was really just difficult to understand let alone follow along.

It takes a lot of work to support encryption and it’s definitely not end to end

It’s not really federated, you make a new account for each server I think.

needs rich messaging support. At very least markdown. Matrix supports images.

But we were talking about lemmy.ml too

The fact I haven’t doesn’t mean I can’t read auditors who have, who do keep track of these changes. Zero days are usually caused by things no one noticed, not things that were intentionally added by corporate overlords to spy or back door a FOSS app.

Didn’t Firefox install adware on everyone’s instance in an overnight update? Like idk why people swoon over Firefox.

I think FOSS is enough because as long as you can fully read the code, it can be audited and even forked to remove BS. So I’m fine with companies developing FOSS. I don’t even really care about EEE. We can always maintain a fork of the standard at the moment you fucked with it. We can even still get your upstream changes just with the shit cherry picked out! It’s always a win.

ML stands for Machine Learning and just became a popular domain for open source apps.

Who cares what they like/think lol
