I’d like some kind of visual task scheduler instead of having to read up on how to do cron jobs every time.

I don’t think it’s possible to have a Lemmy UI without JS because it serves up JSON not rendered pages. You could sign up on a kbin/mbin instance though to get a static frontend.

It’s integrating as best it can. It has an embeddable player and LDAP logins. It’s kind of a failure on the part of other platform Devs to use it.

Lol.

Seven years ago I spent hours trying to explain to my MP that this would happen if they weakened encryption and put in back doors.

He seemingly couldn’t get his head round the fact that you have to assume foreign adversaries have access to everything in transit and they’re not going to be worried about longer prison sentences designed to make up for weaker security.

I should send him an email asking if he understands the argument now it’s coming from an American in a suit and not just one of the plebs.

Is there really a significant difference between steamOS and using big picture mode + proton? I’ve had hardly any issues using steam on Ubuntu to play windows only games. Even Microsoft flight sim works despite trying it’s hardest to act like part of windows.

I’m blaming imgflip, not my incredible laziness

Search for “Hexamethyldisiloxane adhesive remover”. It’s designed for removing ostomy bags but it will remove pretty much any gummy sticky glue from anything with very little effort.

My point isn’t actually about the software.

Agile is a limited form of workplace democracy that succeeded because the usual forms of disciplining workers couldn’t be enforced to stop it. It’s taken off in software because the outlay for software is so low that people can just quit their jobs and start a rival project with preferable working conditions. It’s stuck around because it’s significantly more effective than dictat.

I have problems with agile too. A lot of the “ceremonies” seem more like cult rituals and bad practices are often assumed to be self justifying when they should be interrogated. (I once had a bust up in the office because I insisted in creating a future proof test framework instead of writing just what’s needed at the time. I was overruled and I’m still mad about it).

So I guess my point isn’t even about the specific agile practices either.

The point is that workers are able to self manage when they’re allowed to, and agile has accidentally proven this to be the case. Other work places should adopt some of these ideas. And these ideas should be pushed further, into business decisions and HR and management. And physical communities etc. all the way up to actual government.

To be honest I’d say it’s more similar to anarchism than socialism. Anarchism is voluntarist whilst socialism demands state power first. Both are ideally paths to communism* though so I’m going to say “communism” 'cause it annoys the most people.

communism as in post capitalist, post state utopia, not Stalinism*

Lmfao

What is impact engineering though? If it’s it’s just agile while being cognisant of technical debt over MVPs, I don’t know if it’s necessarily that different.

It seems the study was designed to sell a book and I can’t find anything about what that book says. I should probably read it but the bait way it’s being sold makes me resistant to paying to find out.

There’s some weird witch hunt going on against Dessalines on there. I don’t agree with him on everything, but them trying to hound him out for being a communist, whilst using software he made because he’s a communist is kinda funny.

It’s half way to self management.

Software exists in a world that kind of exists outside of property. Cynics like to think that Agile got big because as some kind of fad because the kids love it, but the reality is that fully hierarchical models just cannot keep up with self organising teams.

The old model - the model that most of the rest of the world of work still uses - simply cannot compete on a level playing field where the means of production (a cheap computer) are available to all. A landowner can stop you building your own house, but Microsoft can’t really stop you building your own software, so they still have to put in work to collect rent.

Imagine what we could accomplish as a species if the goals and distribution of resources were also decided democratically.

Right wing free software users love from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs until you point out what it is.

Then you get whatever this lemmy-wide tantrum is.

I disagree with Dessalines about some stuff but the guy is a don.

I don’t mind if indie devs try something experimental that melts your computer. Like beamNG needs a decent computer but the target audience kinda knows about that sort of stuff.

The problem is with games like cities skylines 2. Most people buying that game probably don’t even know how much RAM they have, it shouldn’t be unplayable on a mid range PC.

I can think of a few games franchises that wouldn’t have trashed their reputation if they’d have had an internal rule like “if it doesn’t play on 50% of the machines on Steam’s hardware survey, it’s not going out”

I don’t know if this something you’re deliberately trying to avoid. Apologies if you are, and I’ve missed the point, but

I gave up on doing anything in TK years ago. For all the effort to make stuff work in it, you might as well just use flask and have a HTML frontend. That way, you know it’s going to work on everything and includes remote access as a bonus.

Edit: for a lot more power with a little bit more learning curve, look at fastapi.
