  • My latest project runs on a VM I use vscode’s ssh editing feature on. I edit the only copy of the file in existence (I have made no backup and there is no version control) and then I restart the systems service.

    So what if I mess it up? Big deal. The discord bot goes down for a few minutes and I fix it.

    Same goes for the machine configs. Ideally the machines are stable, the critical ones get backups, and if they aren’t stable then I suppose the best way to fix it would be in prod ( my VMs run debian, they’re stable).
















  • Alright then I’ll do you one better:

    Google regularly abuses their market share dominance in browsers in order to push for changes to web standards that benefit them, such as their web integrity api (which would have prevented blocking ads). This is monopolistic behavior, and the largest ad company on the planet shouldn’t get to decide web standards.

    As a side note: both firefox and Samsung are paid handsomely (just like apple) to have Google as a default search engine. This also is monopolistic behavior, if you built a better product than them then you couldn’t outspend them to get to the same position.
