I assume bash scripts using jpegtopnm | pnmtopng are also in the neutral good category (from Netpbm).

I like git add because then you can do git diff --staged

How can you tell if this one is? The text differences within and between panels 1 and 2 are indistinguishable (to my eyes) from JPEG artifacts.

Tell the truth, and quote the customer without that feature. Make it clear that that feature doesn’t exist, and your company can’t make it, and your supplier isn’t interested in working on it.

Your boss had time to sort this out, and failed. He asked you to move forward as if it was solved, which means lying. Instead, tell the truth.

You could run it by your boss before sending it to the customer, but don’t let him insert any bad-faith statements if you’re the one signing the quote.

When I worked on OpenStack for a few years, 80% of the bugs I fixed were type errors that could have been prevented by Python being staticly typed.

Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.

Windows used to be easy. Now, it’s so obscure and locked down that only Microsoft can maintain your computer. And they maintain it for their own benefit, at your expense, with mandatory ads and lockouts.

“Your computer is sending automated requests.”

SSHFS is very mature. I use it for administering several home servers.

It works so well that they added a mode where some users can have SFTP only access (without SSH shell) so you can set up shared directories. It was easier to set up (for me) than CIFS or NFS.

They’ll just roll back the blockchain. Ethereum is a centrally controlled cryptocurrency, though its fans claim otherwise. It’s been rolled back before.

I think that wormhole.app page is different software from magic wormhole (and warp). It just has a similar name. wormhole.app does appear to be proprietary.

Thanks. I think I found its homepage, is it the same as this? That looks like part of Gnome, so should be open source too. (It’s maybe available in your operating system without needing a flatpak, if you would prefer it that way)

I’m not familiar with warp, and couldn’t find it with a search. But I did find magic wormhole, and it appears to be MIT licensed, so it is open source. I also searched packages.debian.org and found it, so definitely open source.

As for firewalls: it might only block incoming connections, or has an exception for LAN hosts. I’d have to see the configuration to say more.

ydotool is missing a lot of features. It emulates an input device, so it can only send inputs to the active window. xdotool can send keystrokes to non-active windows, and has features for searching for a window to send to. xdotool can minimize, dismiss, or move windows around.

I’m aware of newton. It’s a work in progress, though, and doesn’t have as many features as X11 accessibility has. Although it might have enough features eventually, I worry that X11 will be deprecated by operating system vendors before that.

I worry about Wayland for the features it drops from X11. Wayland will never have xdotool support, due to its security model. I worry about onscreen keyboards for drawing tablets and screen readers for the blind.

Proton in Wayland works well in Ubuntu out of the box. I don’t think it matters if it is native or an X11 compatibility layer, since the games I played ran better than they did in Windows 7.

Watch out for scams, as most of them probably are. Ideally, you could look for one operated by a known bank. Crypto .com looks like a scam to me.

Coinbase used to be considered legitimate, but I’m not sure if it still is.

Sorry I don’t have anything more concrete. I don’t think a lot of people on Lemmy use cryptocurrency.

Most things worth buying are probably available with cash or credit card.

I use it often, and have never walked out to someone waiting for it. If I did, I wouldn’t feel bad, because I take like 1 minute to poop.

Don’t forget The Measure of a Man. We literally watched that in 9th grade American History, as a commentary about slavery.

You get more protection from your credit card company than Paypal. If your item doesn’t arrive or doesn’t work, you can file a chargeback and get a full refund. It’s worked for me every time I tried it (Visa card from Royal Credit Union).

What is this?
