Yes. If you don’t connect it is pretty dumb and shouldn’t be able to send your data for harvesting. You sould research if you can set it to one of the outputs permanently then you can use some external device that you trust.

Yes you can. There is revenue splitting for the ads between shorts.

There is a whole field, that looks a bit like religion to me, about how to test right.

I can tell you from experience that testing is a tool that can give confidence. There are a few new tools that can help. Mutation testing is one I know that can find bad tests.

Integration tests can help find the most egregious errors that make your application crash.

Not every getter needs a test but using unit tests while developing a feature can even save time because you don’t have to start the app and get to the point where the change happens and test by hand.

A review can find some errors but human brains are not compilers it is hard to miss errors and the more you add to a review the easier it can get lost. The reviews can mostly help make sure that the code is more in line with the times style and that more than one person knows about the changes.

You can’t find all mistakes all the time. That’s why it is very important to have a strategy to avert the worse and revert errors. If you develop a web app: backups, rolling deployments, revert procedures. And make sure everyone know how and try it at least once. These procedures can fail. Refine them trough failure.

That is my experience from working in the field for a while. No tests is bad. Too many tests is a hassle. There will always be errors. Be prepared.

An adequate test coverage should help you with these kinds of errors. Your tests should at least somehow fail if you make something incompatible. Also using the tools of your IDE will help you with refactoring.

Godmode: you maintain the fork.

Finally a real feel good story.

There is a common misconception that long term effects will manifest long after the injection. All vaccines with longterm effects manifested their effect shortly after the injection. It makes little sense that you will have adverse reactions months or years later because the compounds are long gone from your system.

There was also the misconception that the vaccine was rushed and that steps were skipped or shortened during testing. That is not the case. The administrative processes were prioritized and there was a huge amount of test candidates so testing could be done much quicker. The normal process is not longer because they want to gather more long term data but because it just takes longer to gather it.

HA might be possible in a active passive configuration if you don’t have any dependencies on external hardware like a zigbee stick. Active active would need support by HA and I don’t think that is implemented.

I think the most secure thing is to keep regular backups so you can roll back easily.

I never needed more than 4G on the go. I wouldn’t mind 5G but I won’t pay extra for it especially because the data caps are always too low.

Pixelfed and Mastodon have a comparable presentation. Lemmy is a bit different. The focus is different. It might be possible to display content from every fediverse implementation but it might be a less than ideal experience for many of them.

Why would they have a solution? They are the problem. Carbon capture is the dream that we can continue the way we did but without the bad feeling. Not gonna happen. We can’t Deus ex machina ourselves out of this shit. We have to work and make sacrifices.

It is still on Meta servers.

I really think it is connected to the fact that many managers never had to think about how long something takes and how much work they actually need out of someone. It used to be, that if you stare at your screen from 9-5 you probably did all the work you could. But now they can’t see you stare at the screen and they fear they don’t get all the work out of you. For the first time management has to figure out how much work they need instead of going by time spent in the office. That scares them.

The userbase is not that important with activity pub. If the features are good they can grow slowly and still enjoy the whole fediverse. Of course it is important to have users at all. Otherwise it doesn’t make sense to put work on the software.

The problem is not the data. Only the central nature and the dependency on a central point.

As pretty as that would be it has its problems. For this to work you need an authentication service. If you use that service for everything then your accounts are linked to this auth provider and you get a problem if that service goes down. You create a single point of failure.

That being said matrix and mastodon support oauth providers. So it is possible to have unified authentication provider for these two. Lemmy doesn’t support this yet.

If you are above 18 this doesn’t concern you anyway

I mean that is sometimes what it feels like. Like there is a second entity that constantly whants something else than I do. When I explained to my wife how this feels I even gave it a voice so she could understand that there is something inside of me that constantly wants something. It is concious logical thought vs strong feelings.

My favourite explaination is how habbits don’t stick because whenever I have to do an uncomfortable task I have to do it is like there is a toddler having a temper tantrum inside of me when I do it. I can ignore it a couple times but it gets harder every time and when I give in all me strength is gone and I can’t do it for a while.

You can compile a new Marlin for new features but you should know what you are doing and which features you need/want. I have compiled the newes version for myself but I did that because I needed some custom options because I modified the printer.
