sometimes i like that a lot of my work is typical enterprise stuff. nothing gets to prod without some poor soul working through a huge test catalogue on a seperate environment and/or a higher up signs off on it.
it’s also annoying because, you cant “just ship” a small fix or change without someone signing off on it.
It was written as part of my work.
check your contract, you might not own the code and your organization may have a process to determine how to license something.
to your other questions (IANAL)
no, the solution is not to pay someone to have someone to blame if shit happens.
there are a bus load of people involved on the way from a git repo to actuall stuff running on a machine and everyone in that chain is responsible to have an eye on what stuff they are building/packaging/installing/running and if something seems off, it’s their responsibility to investigate and communicate with each other.
attacks like this will not be solved by paying someone to read source code, because the code in the repo might not be what is going to run on a machine or might look absolutely fine in a vacuum or will be altered by some other part in the chain. and even if you have dedicated code readers, you cant be sure that they are not compromised or that their findings will reach the people running/packaging/depending on the software.
i can’t see how paying someone would have changed anything in this scenario.
this seems to be a long running campaign to get someone into a position where they could introduce malicious code. the only thing different would have been that the bad actor would have been paid by someone.
this is not to say, that people working on foss should not be paid. if anything we need more people actively reviewing code and release artifacts even if they are not a contributor or maintainer of a piece of software.
i think it was during Swens acceptance speech at the video game awards where he thanked the amazing people at hasbro/wotc who helped to make bg3 a reality only to say how strange/sad it is that almost no one from the first meetings is still at the company in his next sentence.
so is dracut and weston.
i think that naming software after towns in Massachusetts is somekind of red hat in-joke.
technicaly correct, and i am no lawyer, but i can’t see how in the world i owe anyone a warranty that loads code on their machines, compiles it and uses it, all without any input by me.
everything that i intend to be more than throw away code, that lives for whatever reason in a public repo gets either an MIT or an gplv3 license.
nah, than ibm will annoy you, that they need a special license that allows them to be a dick while using your code.
just like they asked the JSLint guys to use JSLint for evil.
code that needs a license, but i really don’t care what you do with it gets a wftpl.
multi-player. BG3 allows you to play the entire game with up to 4 people.
Good book.
Does progressive muscle relaxation count as meditation?
If so: yes, but not as a constant part of my daily routine, more like something i start using again during stressful times or if i find myself rummaging through negative thoughts a lot.
This is why i listen to audiobooks or radio plays to fall asleep to.
They are engaging enough to stop the noise but i can still fall asleep listening.
Works good for me, atleast most of the time*.
*Damn you Will Patton for reading Stephen King novells in such a gripping way, you are banned from bedtime listening!
Fyi: Libre Office is the actively developed Open Office fork.
Don’t know how it stacks up to MS Office though.
Most clients are web browsers and support for torrents in http is the same as for every other file.
So that would only give us a use for torrents as a form of content distribution plattform to get the actual files closer to the client.
In cases where we have actual non browser clients: i like to curate what i am distributing and don’t want to distribute anything i happen stumble upon or would you be willing to store and more importantly share everything you find on 4chan or that might show up in your mastodon feed?
En Garde! Nice indie game, with a combat system simmiliar to sekiro, but very lighthearted presentation. Also started paradise killer. Definitely interesting, but not sure if it’s a game for me
I think i have roughly three categories for this.
Needs: i need food/ my meds/ a train ticket to get to work
Wants: stuff that i want for me beyond the needs, e.g. hobby stuff like a tripod if one is into photography or dinner in a nice restaurant from time to time
Desires: stuff thats purely for pleasure. Like candy, or a new phone if the old one is still working or very expensive hobby related material, like that carbon tripod with all the bells and whistles, or material i allready own plenty of, like video games.
Asking myself if something is still a want vs a desire stopped some impulse buys, but this desires very very tempting
This has a Cronenberg level of body horror.
Truly another terrible day to have eyes.
I am surprised it’s not more.
It’s super charming, has many interesting twists on the pokémon formula, a great ost, monster designs are good… it should be up there with other beloved indies.
Return of reckoning is a fan run continuation of the warhammer mmo, that might be something you enjoy.
what is a hero shooter and what makes it overwatch-style?
I’d think tf2 would be one.
