Yes that happens, for some reason that user actively goes to FuckAI and bans people who posted there. I can only assume that they see disdain for AI as a personal slight.

e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Programming@programming.dev•Should I teach students who doesn't know computer science C or JavaScript first?1·16 days agoI would go for something like Processing for students who are just trying to learn a bit of programming as an extra credit. The JS implementation is called p5.js. I would introduce a little bit of C later in the course once the students are familiar with basic programming concepts. That way you can show them what is happening behind the scenes without overwhelming them from the start.
I consider the ORM hate uninformed and misguided at best. Just like any other technology not all of them are created equally there are better ones and worse ones. I have used Entity Framework Core for years and have almost no complaints but If I only knew ORMs like NHibernate then I might have a different opinion.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deMto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Microsoft is using AI slop to promote Windows 11 features, and it’s painfully obvious16·23 days agoI love that even the hardcore Windows enthusiasts are despising Microsoft’s AI slop.
Yes the mere existence of slop machines is totally forcing those developers to shit all over their painstakingly crafted creations and deliberately hiding it. Really hard to argue with that.
If its such a bother to create something without supporting these fascist enabling and thieving cunts that are all AI companies, maybe they should consider not doing anything at all.
Turns out GloriousEggroll who is best known for Nobara and GE-Proton is defending this shit as well.
Aubergines, cucumbers, kiwi, and citrusfruit are botanical berries as well. The correct answer is that berry should be seen as a culinary term just like fruit and vegetable.

Google using play integrity to exclude a competitor could be very easily seen as an abuse of market power and they already have problems with antitrust laws.

It was also just one example of many excuse my hyperbole. Here is another one, try to get winget to work with a local package cache. You have to go to some third party developer for that. Want another one? How about debugging windows binaries in an offline environment. Reasonable requirement? Microsoft says no.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OSEnglish2·1 month agoWhy is this arbitrarily “a whole different story” and who said anything about UWP, it’s the media codecs we depend on. Windows 10 N offered an offline installer for that “optional feature” and now Microslop makes my life more difficult for no reason at all.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OSEnglish21·1 month agoOk, where can I download the Media Feature Pack for Windows 11 N as an offline installer?

I expect this to get even more difficult over time.

A CLA is an assignment of copyright from the contributor to the company. The only reason for a company to add a CLA to a project is to put a rug under the project which they will pull as soon as they gained a critical mass of users. It fundamentally undermines the social contract of open source development. These companies want to enjoy all the benefits of open source, like the market appeal and the free labour, but none of the drawbacks. A CLA is just one thing, a promise that the project will go non-free in the future.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Programming@programming.dev•We Overhauled Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy - Another VC funded bait and switch31·1 month agoLet me introduce you to the magical concept of the CLA. It means they can do whatever they want with the project but you can not. You should never contribute to CLA projects.

e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Web Development@programming.dev•Is it possible to develop Firefox browser extensions without writing JavaScript / TypeScript?6·1 month agoYes its kind of possible with F# and Fable. I did it a few years ago. I say kind of because its still transpiling to javascript.

Really? I find it quite feature packed for a notes taking app.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•My thoughts shopping around for a wiki solutionEnglish6·1 month agoHere are a few more:
logseq
Its an outliner, a colleague of mine basically lives in that thing.
silverbullet
It’s almost perfect for me but the browser based editing made it unusable because there is no way to unmap Ctrl + W in a browser and I can’t live without my Vim bindings.
QOwnNotes
This is the solution for normal people who don’t spend n+1 hours tweaking their editor configuration.
Org-Roam
For people who do spend n+1 hours tweaking their emacs configuration.
