In-reply-to » @lyse Is it this one? https://github.com/rivo/tview It’s almost 10 years old but hasn’t seen a 1.0.0 release yet? šŸ¤”

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Interesting approach. šŸ¤”

The master branch should never be in a broken state (apart from bugs I don’t know about). Any intermediate state during the development of a larger feature will happen in a different branch.

I mean, yeah, but … I don’t know, I like having ā€œtraditional releasesā€ as a second safety net when I write programs. I like to let things mature for a while and then I cut a new release. So it’s, like, ā€œwe have a bunch of new features and fixes here, and to the best of my knowledge this works fine nowā€. But maybe I’m just paranoid. šŸ¤”

In-reply-to » That's a very interesting thought and I agree: https://benhoyt.com/writings/dependencies/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Indeed. Very unpopular, though. I’ve long given up that fight at work.

In reality, there are too few real incidents. It doesn’t hurt enough. It’s always: ā€œSomething could happen!ā€ But we’ve never been hit big time by an attack like this … so I just look like a paranoid idiot.

In-reply-to » That was a very non-fun day at work.

@prologic@twtxt.net

Are we some of the only people in the world that realize how fucking dumb all this Internet-connect shitā„¢ really is?

Yeah, but don’t ask me why that is. I’ve never gotten a satisfying answer when I talk to people who hype this kind of stuff. (I mean just normal tech people, not CEOs or something.) They just shrug it off and/or think that my concerns are paranoid. šŸ¤”

In-reply-to » (#smnew7a) I admit I've always compromised on this way too much myself, always to this day having Facebook Messenger just to communicate in my families group chats. Sure I run it in a Work profile on my GrapheneOS phone that I can switch off at any time, I can completely cut it off from network access any time as well, I can have a lot of rudimentary control over it, I use it as sparingly as possible, but it doesn't change the fact everytime I use it we're funneling private convos through bloody Meta's servers and trackers etc.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

(I don’t really trust Android, though, and I suspect that apps can still install background services that are always active. Pure speculation and paranoid on my part, but still.)

Which is fair, but I would say the GrapheneOS devs in particular are also quite paranoid about this stuff and go to great pains to make sure this stuff can be controlled by the user.

iCloud mess
Having lost many photos of certain sentimental value a few years ago has made me paranoid. Ever since I lost my child’s first four years of photographic memory I have kept copies of our family photos and videos in two different places. I keep a copy of photos and videos in our Synology NAS at home, which backup photos to Amazon S3 and videos to [Glacier](http://aws.amazon.co … ⌘ Read more
