I do like setting things up.

Then I realise I need to fuck around with DNS to get it working nicely.

I've never had to sign a receipt in Europe.
I'm a European citizen.

The movie is a jab against that idea.

as [Paul Verhoeven, the director] states in the film’s DVD commentary, the central takeaway message of Starship Troopers is that “War makes fascists of us all.”

I'm thankful for AI. It guarantees my job as developer will continue to exist to repair all future AI-damage.

Stackoverflow: exists solely from the urge of developers to help developers, and since ExpertsExchange was paid dogshit.
This meme: pisses on its whole purpose.

Nothing, but there are more choices.

The Dutch government won't use GPL and BSD, but will and does use the EUPL

In case of phones, there's less of a myriad of operating systems and libraries.

A typical Android app is (eventually) Java with some bundled dependencies and ties in to known system endpoints (for stuff like notifications and rendering graphics).

For windows these installers are usually responsible for getting the dependencies. Which is why some installers are enormous (and most installers of that size are web installers, so it looks smaller).

Docker is more aimed at developers and server deployment, you don't usually use docker for desktop applications. This is the area where you want to skip inconsistencies between environments, especially if these are hard to debug.

Again, SEPA zones winning with PSD2 banking connections, which natively connect to your bank, and hands over an access token.

It's effectively oauth with a bank API and some strict requirements such as mTLS on the api calls.

Yes, apt-get update is, to the best of my knowledge, functionally identical to apt update.

I've gotten a Linux-certified Dell laptop via an old employer (I bought the device when I left the company), and even after over four years, Dell is still pushing firmware updates.

Time wil tell if Lenovo will do the same. It could be the source of the additional "cost", or just Dell using the OS for its margins.

  • It's correctly labelled AI

This is underappreciated. I really dislike that AI content is not labelled as such.
