Programming@programming.dev•The Software Quality and Productivity Crisis Executives Won’t Address
52·8 days ago69% of developers report losing 8+ hours weekly to inefficiencies—20% of their time (Atlassian, 2024)
Yep. If there is any company that knows what it takes to drive inefficiencies, it’s Atlassian. (Fuck them and their software.)
I also just watched this PBS video: https://youtu.be/HxpkOym11pw

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•European States Claim Control Over Russia's Shadow Fleet in the Baltic Sea - Militarnyi
5·17 days agoI would speculate that it’s related to Russia’s ability to retaliate and Russian allies willingness to help. Also, Russian reliance on the shadow oil trade is exponentially higher than it was a couple of years ago, so the investment loss is much higher now.
Most of all, politicians are just slow. I am not extremely familiar with EU politics, but my assumption is that decisions can take much longer to make when multiple countries are involved in taking actions like this.
Memes are the communist gateway drug.
These are actually real, for those who care: https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/mist-cannon-leaves-rainbow-trail-floating-over-city-avenue/1195796

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL “sleet” does not have the same meaning in all English speaking countriesEnglish
7·20 days agoYeah. This is hail. 2018 Denver area, Colorado. When the conditions are right, I suspect the air currents swirl this against the mountain range until its heavy enough to get launched across the state.
I wouldn’t call this sleet in any country as sleet just sounds too dainty.

Windows 11@lemmy.world•Microsoft tells you to uninstall the latest Windows 11 updateEnglish
2·20 days agoYou can enable POP access for an email application like the standalone Outlook client, and it’s not a firm requirement to delete emails from the server. If you don’t connect with a client app that is configured to transfer all emails off the server, the webmail interface should work fine.

I have used this kind of setup multiple times.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think the government should regulate who can or cannot have children?
4·27 days agoThat’s kind of the point. You want the sheep to think they are burning down society for some do-good ideology while the politicians sidestep the government into a into dictatorship or other kind of single party authoritarian system. Regardless, the politicians of the new government will be just fine.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think the government should regulate who can or cannot have children?
20·27 days agoNo. It might be in a politicians best interest to ensure a population stays dumb and then ensure those dumb people raise even dumber children.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Lemmy.ml mods are extremely strict, aren't they?
8·1 month agoYeah, I tried to steer clear commenting on whatever people choose to follow politically or socially. It is a highly curated echo-chamber, is my point. (Most social media rabbit holes are echo-chambers, but ml wins awards for that.)

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Lemmy.ml mods are extremely strict, aren't they?
21·1 month agoJust ignore ml. If you got banned for not knowing their version of whatever, you probably are just going to get banned again later.
For once, I am not knocking on ml for being ml, it’s just a very odd instance when it comes to social interaction. You must subscribe to the hive mind 100% … or else.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get?
4·1 month agoAir, water, AIO, whatever. If it cools well, use it. I just prefer AIOs and there really isn’t any maintenance, was my main point. There are always tradeoffs between AIO, air or a proper water rig, so there is that. (Fans are crazy quiet these days, but when I made the switch, it was mainly for noise. I always run an overclock, so my fans were always hauling ass which probably isn’t needed now.)
Ultimately, I prefer AIOs for the way airflow is managed. It’s not better or worse than air in many instances, but I like working with a radiator rather than a chonky heatsink.
I cannot disagree though: zero maintenance is better than maybe-maintenance. Like I said, it’s about tradeoffs. (I can still make my PC sound like a fucking jet engine, though. Noctua server fans kick ass.)

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get?
9·1 month agoI have been exclusively using AIOs for years now. Generally, by the time they need maintenance, its already time for a major hardware update and rebuild anyway. That is, of course, if it is serviceable. This depends on the quality of the AIO you buy, TBH. I had a first-gen Corsair AIO start to get audible air bubbles on startup, but it’s long since been recycled.
I am sure other people have some kind of horror story about an AIO leaking or something, but in general, they don’t really need to be maintained if it actually is a sealed system.

Between 250°F-275°F for about 30mins should kill most of anything harmful and you should be able to consume your pinecones with no worries.

Connect for Lemmy App@lemmy.ca•[Bug] Lemmy feed gets laggy over 400mb memory usage

1·1 month agoAh ha! I got closure so thanks for the info! https://lemmy.ca/comment/20235503
Also, I have been hounding you with this issue for a long time. I can make a note about it (if it gets worse) after each new version release, or just leave it be. My point is if there is a better way you want me to keep checking and/or reporting this bug, let me know.

Connect for Lemmy App@lemmy.ca•[Bug] Lemmy feed gets laggy over 400mb memory usage
1·1 month agoOk, on 332 and there is still an issue. Sorry for the screenshot post, especially with data, but I exclusively use Lemmy on my phone with Connect only. (My apologies if this turns out to be a red herring.)
I had a feeling that there is a difference between the loading behavior when using two different ways to refresh the feed. Either [Right Side Menu -> Refresh] and [Main Menu -> Click All].
Using the Main Menu and clicking All seems to yield slightly better feed loading behavior before it hangs.
Obviously this is non-scientific, but I reloaded feed and speed scrolled till the feed hung and recorded the last page number. It’s not an even number of test scrolls, as I just kept doing it until each test set looked about the same length:








Update: “Blur” will not save and will revert to “Hide”. “Show” seems to save.
Random other settings not being saved, like seeing down votes on posts. That one is weird. It takes a while to revert, but it always eventually will.
