It would be a different beast if the school didn’t allow you access coursework on a personal machine without installing their bullshit, thats a huge issue.
That’s exactly how it works at many places. Students can only use a personal device if it’s enrolled in the school’s MDM, which grants them just as much control.
Anything except the 2nd to last one, which is, unfortunately, mandated by my employer’s internal code style guidelines. 🫠
TIL that pluralistic.net is blocked on Facebook, and any links to it are automatically removed as “farming engagement” 
That’s not entirely true. Practice is important, but homework actually has a negative impact on learning: https://hachyderm.io/@Impossible_PhD/112969358305278574
This may sound like a mess to you. But it was remarkably enjoyable to work in. Gone were the concerns of code duplication. Gone were the concerns of consistency. Gone were the concerns of extensibility. Code was written to serve a use, to touch as little of the area around it as possible, and to be easily replaceable. Our code was decoupled, because coupling it was simply harder.
Incredible
Agreed, unfortunately. I’m not even sure it supports defederation :/
It’s good we have “Knewbies” in a sandbox when they start.
attention all companies: please stop making pet names for your employees, it’s weird 
I’ve been using Xubuntu for half a decade, zero regrets.
The frontend is HTML only? Then I’d go with C# and ASP.NET Razor pages. Modern language with good DX, performant runtime, and server-side rendering.
I feel like this design would work pretty well even for a modern phone. Just flatten the bottom-right menu section and extend the screen over it, and you’d get a regular full-size smartphone with a slide-out keyboard and some handy physical buttons!
The same problem can also be solved with signed messages, like the HTTP Signatures used by Mastodon and most of the other microblogging fedi servers. Signatures allow a message to flow peer-to-peer instead of requiring a direct connection. You would only need a connection when actively interacting with a post on another instance, and its very unlikely that all 10K instances would be interacting with each other. Most likely, the network will consist of smallish groups of loosely-related instances plus a few giant servers that can handle the load of being popular.
For daily work, I use the git integration built into my IDE. Occasionally I need the CLI for something complex.
RiF, up until a few days ago when I decided to take an indefinite break from Reddit.
it’s all people getting mad on behalf of their instances when everybody behind the scenes is chill and understands!
I think that’s becoming A Thing ™️ on the fediverse recently. I’ve seen this exact scenario play out on the microblogging side more than once.
Not a fan of the UI, but I love the community here! It’s the best parts of Reddit combined with the best parts of Fedi.
