Ah that would explain why I didn’t know. I have next to no experience with Apple devices.

Well it does depend on your exact use case, but using a proper database is usually the better option for production. Now if this is just some little service you made for yourself use whatever you want.

Wait is APFS a new file system than NTFS? Guess I’m too busy on my Tiktoks and Nintendos to keep up to date

Which is probably a net positive on their lives. The less social media the better.

If it’s a package I’m not familiar with and is relatively small/unknown then I’ll give it a brief once over to see if there’s anything that sticks out (obfuscated code, making http requests when the package should never do that, etc.). Most of the time though it is just trusting the FOSS community.

This fool doesn’t know that jet fuel can’t melt steel beams. Edit: apparently I needed this /s

Why would I leave one walled garden for another walled garden?

You learn so much more doing it yourself instead of having AI write code for you. When I first learned how to admin an Apache server I had 0 understanding how it worked, but with some effort I’m now confident enough to do a simple setup on my own. I did follow along with tutorials and examples configs, but I made sure I knew what each part did at least on a high level. The reason I’m confident in this is that I know how to read the docs and how to troubleshoot issues when they happen.

When you let AI do all the work you don’t learn the inner workings of a system and are only hurting yourself. If you want to use AI use it for writing some boiler plate you’ve already written hundreds of times or taking simple functions and converting them to another language. I use AI for basic and repetitive tasks, which is something it’s great at. I don’t use it for making large design decisions since that will (not “if”, but “will”) bite me in the ass later on when something breaks. Examples of good uses of AI (in my opinion): generating a list of US states in JavaScript, take a function that converts a strijg to a date object and try to translate it to another language, use it as a tool to bounce some high level ideas off of when you’re at a development block.

Can I ask what quirks/off behavior you see (genuinely asking)?

I have to use all for browsing and just block communities and instances that I don’t care about.

Is this a person or did you finally decide to read the damn man pages?

Hell yes we need to open source stuff like this. Looking at the video it looks like it replaces the muscle used to move the top two parts of the digit (flange?) with a simple spring which is such a simple and elegant design. I wonder if there’s issues with the spring “biting” skin/hair.

Companies do share data either directly or indirectly, so I don’t think your approach of spreading it out is as effective as you think it is. Still not the worst thing to do in addition to other measures though. Another thing is to use a unique email address for each site to make that one common data point no longer common.
