  1. @tknarr it's c

    c23 has a way to mimick visibility, by building with `-Dmylib_private` and having:

    ```c
    #ifndef mylib_private
    #define mylib_private [[deprecated("private member")]]
    #endif
    ```

    but tbh even without that it's also possible to just say "do not touch any undocumented field, you've been warned" -- it's not like c doesn't already have api constraints that live in documentation (e.g. "this pointer may/may-not be NULL"), the less of those we have the better but one step at a time with improving semantics

    To me, the whole "H1-B is for when you simply cannot find a qualified citizen/green-card candidate" problem could be solved with what seems to me to be a missing requirement.

    If you "can't find" a matching candidate, clearly you've already tried recruiting with generous compensation etc. So if you're forced to go outside the national labour pool, it should obviously be that anyone you hire on an H1-B is right at the top of your compensation, right?

    i.e. hire an H1-B engineer, they had better be the highest-paid (or tied for highest) engineer in the company.

    If you enforce that, the cheap-labour abuse just goes away...

    But of course, every complex problem has a simple, easy to understand wrong answer, so maybe I'm missing something.

    I wrote github.com/ScottESanDiego/gmai to work around this, using exim and fetchmail to get things into #gmail . It's working REALLY WELL so far, with all the usual filters and stuff, just as when using #gmailify .

    Problem is that it uses "restricted" API calls which means annual code security reviews which I'm not going to do ($$) OR renew the auth every seven days. My app is "in production" so the token isn't expiring, not sure what happens when I fail to do a code review.

  4. WTF is it with modern desktops and tiled desktop wallpapers? First Gnome removes them, then KDE has moved them to an add-on. What gives?

    Personally I find them too useful to give up. I have the Propaganda tile collection and it makes for great backgrounds that're easy to look at and not too busy. I really don't want to give that up.

  5. I was originally attracted to the Unix world because the goal was for the software to be done. Feature-complete, pretty much bug-free, didn't need to be worked on except to build against newer dependencies and even that slowed as those dependencies achieved "done".

    How far from that is the modern world? Microsoft Word was "done" back around Word95. There hasn't been a thing done to it since then that didn't amount to rearranging the deck chairs and replacing the bodywork with a different look.

  6. RE: hachyderm.io/@dalias/116578097

    I have to agree with this. The best most of the tech industry does is change things without making them worse. They don't make things that do new stuff, they don't improve the existing stuff, they just make it do things differently. Constantly keeping up with that and finding new workarounds for old problems that work for the new way it's done exhausts most people and makes their lives miserable. And that's the _best_ case.

    Part of it's that sales & marketing reject the idea of "done".

  7. #Google #Chrome #WHATWG #XSLT #XML

    github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11

    IMO this PR is a bad idea and should be closed without merging. XML is a thing in the enterprise world, and XSLT is a useful tool for manipulating it in front-end applications. It's pretty clear from reactions that Google is the *only* party that wants to remove XSLT, and that only to make RSS unusable (RSS conveniently bypasses Google's advertising).

  8. #GhislaneMaxwell as much as admitted she's got explosive dirt on absolutely everybody. She wants immunity because then anything she says to Congress can't be used against her in court, including against her during her appeals. She wants the questions ahead of time so she can make sure her on-the-record answers include absolutely everything that could be used against her. And she gets revenge on the people who hung her out to dry to boot.

  9. When I hear about #ElonMusk's harem, I'm minded of #NXIVM except with less salesmanship and a higher creep factor.

  10. Switching from #Google Authenticator on my phone to #FreeOTP. GA's started not updating TOTP codes when opened if you aren't backing them up to their servers, which I'm not about to do. Something about time sync, which is BS.

  11. #applesauce #leadpoisoning It looks like the source of the lead in applesauce packages is lead chromate, probably added to the cinnamon for weight and coloring to conceal someone shorting the amount of cinnamon being used. Probably nobody will be prosecuted because there's too many layers of suppliers and too many different suppliers at each layer to definitively pin the blame on any one of them

  12. The looks like a bust. It may be something, but it's looking like it's not a superconductor of any sort. Nobody can replicate it at all. If they really had a superconductor that nobody could reproduce, rather than file patents they'd take the route Heinlein's Shipstone took: lock down the few people who know how to do it so tight they'll never want to leave, then set up shop and start producing the stuff. Nobody will care how it works, as long as it works.

  14. I'd really like to setup #Tunarr channels - but I don't watch from PC and I see that most ways to watch via TV are .. not full solutions.

    Anyone use Tunarr to watch via couch!?

  15. 🐟 Behold, the revolutionary Tunarr: because who needs Netflix when you can painstakingly cobble together your own live #TV from random server files! 🎉 Dive into the joy of endlessly configuring channels, because nothing screams "fun" like a #DIY cable network from the comfort of your basement server dungeon. 📺✨

  16. Someone save me! I discovered "Tunarr" and now I've fallen down an all new rabbit hole.

  17. I know there are a lot of folks like me who use/love Jellyfin, but I also have to give a big shoutout to Tunarr and Dispatcharr for not only awesome software, but a great community in both cases.

    If you're using Jellyfin or Plex, you may want to check them both out.

    Tunarr is software that talks to your Jellyfin or Plex server and lets you program your own IPTV station from it. You could have a station that plays just one show, a station that plays your comedies, or only kids shows. You can configure schedules, or have it pause its programming when you aren't watching and resume where you left off.

    Then you can stream that back to your Jellyfin server, so you can watch from your Jellyfin clients!

    Dispatcharr lets you take IPTV streams and configure them- either transcode them, or schedules or other complex programming all from an easy to use GUI interface. All FLOSS.

    They're great companions to Jellyfin for enjoying your media!

    and of course there are similar graves in Paris, though they are probably a bit older and not quite the same style #cemeterychat

  19. @stux
    Nobody should go there anyway... really I need a very, very enraged :wyd: just for #fuckqatar

  20. Aja, wer sein Kind nicht auf diesen Dampfer schicken möchte, der hat die Möglichkeit es auf eines der Privatschiffe (oft mit bunten Segeln) zu schicken, auch mithilfe deren haben es schon Schüler*innen zur anderen Seite geschafft. Praktischerweise werden die in Österreich und Deutschland vom Staat mitfinanziert. Statt dem Besteck in der Kombüse wird oft die Aura der Kinder überprüft, auch Engel und Dämonen findet man manchmal unter Deck. #Waldorfschule #Reformpädagogik
