@npub1k9m…tej5 Is the HPA4 worth the cost? Been curious about buying one for awhile. I was debating between it and the Topping Pre90.

In a move that surprised nobody, the head of privacy at #google has left and will not be replaced. Almost like even pretending to care about privacy was ultimately too annoying. Instead of having one centralized privacy policy team they’re going to move it down to individual teams, ensuring Google will be able to claim those individual teams “went rogue” when confronted with evidence of wrongdoing.

Hey #python experts, what’s the best way to make a single binary on Linux for Linux that I can deploy safely without needing a container? Is it PyInstaller? Nuitka? Bazel? Thanks!

@npub1utv…87lr I mean in this situation no question the maintainer made the wrong call. Like as much as I wanna go to bat for maintainers this is pretty indefensible.

Sometimes I like to think of Tim Cook being startled awake in the middle of the night and shouting “Jesus Christ we forgot about the iPad mini again!”

@npub1upk…tcwy Do you think it’s because git is the one of the most used and least understood techs? At least IME almost nobody who uses it possess more than a cursory knowledge of how it works outside of 8-12 commands. Even people who “think they get it” often don’t.
After years of daily use I still rely heavily on git flight rules for unjamming myself.

@npub1upk…tcwy Wow good for you. One of my posts was on hacker news recently and I was taken aback by how rude they were. I don’t think I’ll put my stuff up there again.
You must get it 100x as bad as a higher profile blogger.
