Chinese government uses all tools at its disposal to broaden their range of influence in tech, including tracking and monitoring. Avoiding products backed by chinese government doesn’t make one racist, the same as avoiding products with NSA influence doesn’t make one anti-american.

Technology@lemmy.world•Even experts are surprised by AI’s latest ‘vibe-mathing’ advanceEnglish
3·7 days agoIt’s not a dead end pipe dream but you need to know what to expect. I have been in the industry for about a decade and saw it evolve in the recent years. The way I see it now the developer’s job is completely different than it was before. Many corporations (or at least these I worked for) try to embrace AI as much as possible and think it will take over many domains but usually it boils down to generating more code. It’s expected from me to deliver more so most days I generate stuff just like any developer in the company and that doesn’t require much skill. But when the shit hits the fan (and it does constantly with so much “vibe coding”) my expertise is necessary as I am able to pinpoint issues, quickly investigate and ensure the hole is actually filled (and not covered). But from day to day work I think we’ve lost the most fun part (coding) while turning up all the bullshit (more meetings, shitty documentation, more code reviews where some devs don’t even self-review). Project managers I had the displeasure to work for were the biggest AI embracers, using it to generate superfluous and bloated plans, docs and acceptance criteria which are unnecessarily verbose, filled with errors, misleading info and straight up garbage. And now devs need to untagle all this mess.
Tl;dr - I vibe for work and code for passion. I hope this passion will keep me employable.
I wish you good luck in your journey.

Linux@lemmy.ml•[solved] Does Linux have an equivalent to "Compress contents to save disk space" from Windows? I don't need it to save space, just please read the full post before commenting.
2·8 days agoUnfortunately I haven’t tested it so I cannot fully advise on that but I have seen some “repacks” on the high seas where a whole wine prefix with a game already installed was compressed to a single
dwarwhich you can mount and play with configs and saves in your ~.

5·8 days agoThere’s an interesting project called DwarFS. I have it on my todolist to check it out but as I understand it you basically create a compressed read-only archive that is mountable and readable just like any other disk - https://github.com/mhx/dwarfs . Maybe this is something for your use case?

Start by adding some flavour, like slices of lemon or orange. In time you’ll start to like how hydrated you are. Just don’t put sugar into it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are people who make 200k a year "poor"?
4·16 days ago200k of what and where? What’s the context? Why even ask such a question?
I use an emulator from Android SDK which uses KVM as backend AFAIK. Performance is top notch and it doesn’t use too many resources in my opinion

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•[SOLVED] Why is Fallout New Vegas considered a very transy game?
6·19 days agoThe game itself is not “trans” but it correlates with the dominant age group of people who grew up with it and later on had changed their gender. And because it’s more niche than a typical AAA game which covers a bigger fanbase then some anon made that connection and others started picking this up. That’s just the way 4chan operates as it came from there. I wouldn’t waste too much thought on it

They didn’t say anything about USA products though, that’s your assumption
Edit: actually in the comment OP said he avoids things that can have ties to NSA as well
