I’m an ubuntu user and it was like that for a brief period but then they removed it after an uproar. I think. I double check it once I’m at my laptop

This. To put it simply, people respond better to what’s familiar and to what has a clear goal. F.e. if you’re about to open a restaurant, don’t sell power tools in it. If you want to sell powertools, create a separate store

Sure Sputnik, sure

Because Arch is at best comparable to sport fandom, at worst to religious cult. And fans/cultists do these kinds of things

rethinks ability to compete with netflix

Yeah, I canceled my subscription like 2 years ago, loosing my prize of 30% discount in the process (it was a thing since I had HBO GO). I don’t know if it’s a regional thing but there was just nothing new or interresting there. I remember just constant superheroes and Harry Potter. Went for Netflix and never looked back. So, good luck I guess, hopefully they change

Pfff I know all about the aptitude, who do you think I am? Someone who doesn’t know the aptitude? I use it all the time for a lot of … stuff the aptitude does

Here we go!!! I was expecting the enshitification of this thing for past couple of years

Now calm down, Ned-dily-diddly-diddly-diddly… they did their best, shoddily-iddly-iddly-diddly… gotta be nice, hostily-iddly-diddly-iddly…Ah hell diddly-ding-dong-crap! Can’t you morons do anything right?

How can I contribute? Just making a pull request?

I still don’t get it. I guess it involves vagina somehow?

Thank you, I know lemmy is left leaning and so am I but let’s not lose our touch with reality here. People can downvote as much as they want but I’d say you’re objectively right. Or does anyone want to place some counter argument instead of downvoting? Because I can’t think of any

Oh c’mon, I consider myself to be on the left but this is a strawman and you know it

Edit: if you want this to be more accurate then add this at the end of far left section: “at all cost. And I mean ALL cost.”. And reminder, we’re talking about FAR left here

I see the next BF will be developed by Dice and 4 other teams? Well I wish them luck on good cooperation but that sounds really scary team-wise.

But who knows, maybe it’ll help. Because Dice is … ok well I’m old so I don’t know if this is still true but I remember them as one of those studios that just keeps fucking things up. Bugs on bugs. Them and Creative Asembly (Total War). But as I said, I’m old, not sure how things look now

Bonus rant: But boy, I remember one bug they introduced in BF3 with one patch. The bug was that the under-barrel shotgun attachement didn’t have its own damage, but took the damage from main weapon i.e. 12 pellets x 25 HP = 300 HP. I mean, shit happens but how much of a mess there’s in the code that this happens? I’d genuinely love to see that code. And! And! That testers don’t catch it during testing! How? That it flows through all the stages up to the production. Do you even have some tests? Is there a QA team? And I know I’m not crazy because as a follow up, the EA tried to step in to put things in order. Rant over

small tasks that you don’t expect to grow in complexity

On one conference I heard saying: “There is no such thing as temporary solution and there is no such thing as proof of concept”. It’s an overexaguration of course but it has some truth to it - there’s a high chance that your “small change” or PoC will be used for the next 20 years so write it as robust and resilient as possible and document it. In other words everything will be extended, everything will be maintained, everything will change hands.

So to your point - is bash production ready? Well, depends. Do you have it in git? Is it part of some automation pipeline? Is it properly documented? Do you by chance have some tests for it? Then yes, it’s production ready.

If you just “write this quick script and run it in cron” then no. Because in 10 years people will pull their hair screaming “what the hell is hapenning?!”

Edit: or worse, they’ll scream it during the next incident that’ll happen at 2 AM on Sunday

I never thought I’d witness the release of 3.0 in my lifetime

I dislike Arch btw

This was absolutely unexpected and I’m shocked aswell. I’m certain her supporters will be deeply touched by this and will now turn their backs on her
