I've had three different people in the last little while that just don't recognize this cable.

I keep asking about the USB cable and they say there isn't one...

Like really? How do people put up with crud like this?

>>> Ouch. My apologies—that was a complete "hallucination" by my internal auto-complete. Changing pwsh to persuasion pwsh was an error, and it definitely breaks the ability for the shell to interpret the script correctly.

Over and over, it breaks something completely unrelated while half fixing a different mistake. I'm going to see this little project thru this way, but any enthusiasm I had is gone...

And, I hate the energy usage, and I hate the fact that not only did I not write it, I can't credit the million programmers who wrote the patterns this commercial software generating thing stole from and mashed into a slurry.

But it did save me time, kinda, and it worked, kinda. Maybe I should have studied more philosophy

I vibe coded a 150 lines of #PowerShell . Took about ½ an hour and 14 rounds. Seems to be working.

I haven't looked through it, I don't understand it.

Writing it myself would have been at least several hours of work. (I'm not a "dev")

I wonder if it'll take me as long to understand it, as it would have for me to have figured it out myself.

Funny thing is I realized I'm not going to post it publicly, like I would have if I'd written it.

#AI usage has surprising repercussions

If it works, and it's not publicly accessible, then just skip updating, or do it on a cadence that works for you

So if you release a broken product, charge for monthly updates that don't fix security issues, crowd source your QA, and pay next to nothing for third parties to find the security problems, then gather up the security fixes and charge for those too....

You're a modern software company.

That's not engineering, that's marketing your failures so well people pay extra for them.

Just had a lovely interaction with #Backblaze support.

They completely, and in detail, answered my support request in the very first reply to my inquiry.

Thought I'd share something positive for a change 🙂

I don't agree the lived experience bit? If your pet died, I'd sure as heck appreciate that cw - because reading it without preparing myself is hard on me. Now you are under no obligation to make it easy on me I suppose, but isn't that what cw are for?

doesn't mean you'd use them to listen yourself.

not for mixing - mixing gear should be either as neutral as possible, or as bad as a typical listener.

Mix to a low common denominator. That's why studios have those NS 10s or whatever hanging out there always

2024-10-24T13:11:18Z

This seems like an #askFedi question - is there a common freeware closed source license? I'm looking at a one dev project that isn't interested in opening their source code, but might want to have it formally stated they aren't charging fees for it. What's the normal license used?

Got a mcflurry from McDonald's - new packaging is a nice change - wood spoon, folded lid, no plastic anywhere. Progress!
