@jwildeboer i used identi.ca for years before it was destroyed by some random stuff called pump. Then was forced to be on twitter, since people on the tech stack I'm interested were only there. It seems that this account here is 9 years? Time freaking flies 😱😱

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social it really is the best time. If I had the power to discover and release stuff like this I would do it always during these times of the year. Such a power move

@deech there's been a lot of slop belief in the scala community. It's scary. I'm tired. It's not the first commit in the compiler or other tooling with similar vibes.
It's all nice watching a bit of the news and listening to how the terrorists attack. Going after universities, infrastructure and kids lives.
Totally ok

@xyla@shitpost.trade ugh, it seemed longer. Had to check. Seems 3 years. Should last for many more to come
I believe we are unfortunately living in a world (😭😭😭) and because of that we should be putting MORE exploits and backdoors and stupid shit in open codebases so that the AI overlords copy THAT shit and integrate it deeply were nobody is looking.
Also we should all be putting claude.md files in every source repos with confusing and actively MALICIOUS instructions everywhere we can.
After all THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, so bad luck 😺

@dwardoric @deech I've come fully to the realization (that I kinda already knew) that 98.7% or everyone out there does not take actions based on morals, ethics or principles. It's just not something that is considered. It's just a "plus" or a "nice to have" or "good to know", but not a thing that has influence in a final decision if personal benefit is on the table. Anyone that does is in the fringe and weirdo category. And there are many issues in the world similar to it. It's just another one.

At least if this should be a better choice than "throw IllegalStateException("potato should not be possible") we should be able to put a custom message in it.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social it should be ok, none of them were taught any history anyway.

@jolla@techhub.social the thing to worry about is that android support. I'm still pissed a little how it was done on the first jolla where the proprietary blobs that implement it or wtv stopped being updated for later android api versions because of their contracts or wtv it was about. And hopefully no more btrfs as the file system, that thing required me to manually fsck the system or wtv to reclaim space at the time.
Replaceable battery & expandable storage makes it better than most things in the market.

@benjojo@benjojo.co.uk I've stopped having computers with any drive to read or write them so many years ago.
I figure I've balanced enough with the amount of copies I did in my teenage years 😶🌫️
Good study 💪
Replying to
@jolla@techhub.social likely won't need a replacement for a few years since it's still full of performance. But will keep this new phone very under watch

@timbray@cosocial.ca after all this time 🎉
Remember using and needing it with a GET and it working fine but then suddenly everyone started complaining and saying that it's broken because middle boxes and proxys fuck it up. I never saw it happen, but oh well. Let's see how this one goes.

@dwardoric @deech last conference I was at people were literally saying on stage that AI will save scala because it's such a good language for it. And we gotta go all in on it.
Gotta jump to wtv hype train that appears I guess 🤷♂️

Nothing useful in the implementation - https://github.com/scala/scala3/pull/20987
Only way to know? Run an example:
(Some("a"), Some("b")).runtimeChecked.match {
case (Some(_), None) => println("a")
case (None, Some(_)) => println("b")
}
https://scastie.scala-lang.org/0snylcSNRS6l26fzZGWqFg
Ok, seems to throw somekind of MatchError 
Replying to
And in no place does it explain what it means for the check to be done at runtime.
Like does it explode in an uncatchable way?, is there a specific message it gives?, is it an exception that is catchable?...
Is it better than doing the typical "throw IllegalState("this shouldn't happen")"??
Nobody knows.
The docs are only this https://www.scala-lang.org/api/docs/other-new-features/runtimeChecked.html
Absolutely not user friendly. A quick example that should be more developed and then jumps to a weird example.

@alternativeto@mas.to sales people should be slapped regularly to know what's good for them.

@cwebber@social.coop i love it. Let it get worse and worse 😻🙏.
I'm surprised people are not trying more actively to break it all by writing malicious instructions everywhere that it reads from, like commit messages, comments in code, stuff in weird files like gitignore or random blobs of obfuscated js files for example
Anyway, I guess any bot is now a problem and will get really fun from now on.

@aetios I'm surprised. There are actually people IRL with ipv6 access and ips given by their isps. Never thought so much.

@jolla@techhub.social as for the rest, compared to my current phone, which was probably around the same price I bought around 2 years ago, my current screen is smaller (which is something I prefer, and I have more ram, 16gb) but this jolla phone has expandable storage which mine doesn't. All the rest seems to be around the same specs. I have no idea about the cpu and chips cuz I understand shit about it. Likely my current screen is better.

@ppurang that's an interesting solution, much more clearer than a runtimeChecked that nobody knows what it is and are afraid of it. With a custom message even. I'll probably steal the idea
