    During the initial reddit migration, Lemmy/Kbin had a larger active userbase than it does now. It fell off a bit after a little while, though its slowly creeping back up there with a more committed community.

    But basically there were more users to upvote beans at that point



  • For sure, yeah. When I joined my current company that provides a web service, I was blown away by how much is recorded. DataDog has a feature called RUM & Session Replay and I don’t think people realise that every mouse movement, click, and interaction in general is recorded in enough detail that as a developer I can play back user sessions as if I were watching a screen recording. Mixed with the fact that it also captures as much identifying information as it can, it’s pretty fucking creepy


  • It’s important because none of OpenAI’s software or databases were hacked. What was hacked was a service they use. As much as I dislike it, most companies that have a presence online use analytical services

    Doesn’t matter if a 3rd party was involved

    involved isn’t the correct term for this, or rather it’s exact opposite direction. The 3rd party was hacked and as a result OpenAI data was leaked (along with any other companies using the platform that were affected)

    I bring it up because the nuance is important when I can predict people will jump on OpenAI to make claims of shoddy code. I hate OpenAI and Sam Altman but again, the nuance is important because this can happen to any company

    Get mad at the fact analytic companies collect enough data to cause this much of a mess if anything










  • Have you been able to? Even though I’ve mostly worked in backend APIs that run in containers on Linux, I haven’t been able to switch my work machines to Linux since they have required company VPNs and SSO stuff installed

    Edit: the only place I was able to use Linux was a startup environment but the company was bought out and I was forced to switch to Windows

    Macs are excellent dev machines, especially if your company buys them for you. 3/4 of my past jobs have provided Macbooks rather than Windows laptops and I don’t plan on going back unless I’m allowed to install Linux

    Having a Mac laptop at work means I can use the same dotfiles between it and my personal CachyOS desktoo
