Linux@programming.dev•Just found out that you can CTRL+T in fedora's installation GUI to browse web pages in firefox, amazing!
9·3 days agoDeveloping cross platform native apps sucks a lot no matter the tech stack. Compared to web technologies where the burden to follow the spec is the platform if they wanted to have interop with the web, the dev doesn’t have to fight the platform.

Web Development@programming.dev•The DX shift no one noticed: Web interoperability
3·3 days agoCorrect. The degree that a native app could invade your privacy on the desktop is insane. For mobile, thanks to sandboxing it has a much smaller surface but still annoying nonetheless when an app could just be a web. Especially if all they do is just a glorified form filing app.

Linux@programming.dev•Is a Clanker Being Used to Carry Out AI Fuzzing in the Linux Kernel?
7·4 days agoLinus called that a good sign, while asserting that he is “much less interested in AI for writing code” and more interested in AI as a tool for maintenance, patch checking, and code review.
Linus knows where the actual problem is in the software development cycle. Not that human code slower but the approval of the code itself is slow.

Web Development@programming.dev•The DX shift no one noticed: Web interoperability
5·4 days agoNow this puts a question for native platform. If web technology managed to get more and more approval to get native access like Web Bluetooth, should we move apps to the web instead? We have web authn as secure hardware backed secret storage. Personally, I like it if everything is not a native app.
The other extreme is if the native platform provides the same interoperability and standard as web. Would you prefer every complex web to be a sandboxed native app instead? Say a youtube streaming desktop app.
It depends on what you want to do. I myself use hostinger to host my NodeJS app. The downside is nodejs are only supported on their business tier web host. To be fair, it is more appealing than VPS with the same price for the infinite bandwidth aloneWhoops, my bad. I didn’t see the need for it to be free

Linux@programming.dev•Linux kernel 7.0 is coming mid-April—here’s everything you need to know
1·4 days agoThat’s the thing. It doesn’t break it to the point of unusable unlike other patches I think. So the test didn’t catch this since performance is rarely a part of a test suite no?

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•For Muslims here, do you think piracy is halal? And why?English
1·13 days agoI am as muslim but not a scholar. You know what that means so be warned. I think it falls under the same as marriage where the necessity and law is dependent on your situation. It could be mubah, makruh, or haram. I think there is no situation where it could be halal unless somehow your life is threatened without pirating. I cannot equate it to stealing with my limited knowledge because with stealing, there are actual lost not just potential lost. And we already have ruling about speculation / unrealized gain

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•For Muslims here, do you think piracy is halal? And why?English
3·13 days agoNope. Islam does not have the concept of corporate personhood. It does have the concept of long-after-dead possession (although not strictly owned by said person). When you donate your wealth to the ummah (term for muslim as a whole, usually represented by a government or organization) in the form of wakaf, that wealth may not be re-sold/re-inherited. The wealth is still “attached” to you in a sense and very different from the usual infaq/shadaqa

Ask Electronics@discuss.tchncs.de•4 channel scopes, budget. Siglent or Rigol?English
1·16 days agoMy recommendation is if you mainly do digital, then get a good logic analyzer and you can cheap out on the scope. The point is you have good digital domain tools, and if the device is reading gibberish, you only need a cheap analog scope to make sure the signal is clean enough. Note that this is if you mainly do digital because if you do analog signalling too, then of course get a good scope instead.

Same with me. I didn’t feel the need to choose or confirm something every boot on day to day use. If I need to boot somewhere else, then I could always go to the BIOS/UEFI
Yes, that is called a pacman hook. As you expect, it is easy enough to add. You’re welcome to discuss your pull request to the arch maintainer.
Because it adds something that is not essential, so it is not “simple”. If package A depends on package B with an incompatible license then it needs to provide a means to specify alternate packages. Arch follows upstream with best effort possible, so changing dependency could be seen as breaking that. However, pacman already supports choosing alternate packages during installation so technically they could add it, but how many percentage of users are needing that convenience? Not to mention the arch team will need to maintain said list of alternatives for every dependencies. If you want, you can add it yourself via pacman hook to prevent you from accidentally installing non free software, or write a wrapper for pacman, or use other distro like Parabola.
Well, because Arch tries to be simple and pragmatic. The way the official repo is organized speaks volumes about its philosophy.
Just read their FAQsMy bad, not FAQs, but their explanation page
Phone processors do post processing when taking a picture, even with the “no filter” selection. So yeah, it is understandable sometimes people can mistake a picture as “AI” since the artifact from said processing can become apparent





Then why can’t QT provide the same benefit of delivering cross platform developing experience? See, that is the core issue. You write FOR the platform not for yourself. In the web space, the platform writes FOR you lest they want to break compliance with the rest of the web standard. When you are writing web application, you are writing program in a standard that the platform WILL follow instead of you following whatever the platform dictates at the time of their convenience
