And despite security recommendations, too many IT depts still force password resets every 90 days…

It could be for contractual or for insurance reasons. We have some contracts with government agencies that require it, and our cyberinsurance also does. Even though NIST has been recommending for years to do long passphrase + MFA and no reset unless you suspect compromise.

So yeah, the reason behind this might not be just plain incompetence.

WSL is actually pretty OK now, it’s lightyears ahead of what it was. You can even run systemd in it now.

My feelings on the subject is that they don’t live nearly long enough to not give them a simple pleasure like sleeping with their people.

Even when he wakes me up at 4am because his paws must be licked for 20 minutes.

Or when he wakes me up at 5am whining to get under the covers.

Or when he sleeps like this, which is all the time:

Ok. I’ll give it a try some time this weekend, thanks for the tip. Hopefully I can contribute in the future.

How are they going to determine which apps have free API access without this definition!?

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from this trainwreck, it’s that they’re not going to define it publicly. If the internal definition is fluid, it can serve as a moving target to be whatever is most beneficial to them at the time.

Unfortunately I don’t know shit about Rust. I use Python/PowerShell/Bash/some C#/etc daily for my job, but I haven’t touched Rust at all.

What would you say the learning curve would be based on the languages I’ve worked in?

The ones that are confirmed have an orange checkmark on them.

I’ve been a RiF diehard for about a decade, but I’ll definitely give Sync for Lemmy a try when it’s available.

What I’m really interested in is this. If this gets completed, theoretically any existing third-party reddit app could update the API URL it hits and their app would pretty much “just work” with Lemmy, they’d just need to add an option for the user to input their home instance’s URL and their credentials. It was started by @derivator

There is already an existing phpBB implementation for Lemmy.

I too remember those bygone days of the modem handshake sound.

I had that as my cellphone ringtone for so long. An intern at work asked me once why my ringtone was the sound that a fax machine makes, and I could help but think “Oh, you sweet summer child.”

I desperately want a RiF clone for interacting with Lemmy. If RiF does actually shut down at the end of the month, I really hope talklittle open-sources it.

Hopefully we get some warning signs before it ends up in the Google Graveyard.

The probability of that happening just barely hovers above zero.

Over a decade later, I’m still bitter about how they unceremoniously dumped Google Reader’s corpse into the ground with effectively no notice.

This has very strong “I’m not touching you!” energy and I’m all about it.
