The approach I’ve seen most is using semantic versioning for releases, and having a continuously upward counting (not bothering to reset) build number for everything in between.

Would you trust this “wallet” tho lol

Hell no. I just kicked Google out of my life for the same crap. Ugh. But I’ll laugh too, because it’s either that or cry.

I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure.

As a Privacy nerd, I agree with the conclusions in the article, for what it’s worth. We do see a lot of “privacy” law proposals lately that are anything but.

I don’t think things will get better, on this front, until the average person better understands privacy rights and risks.

I can’t say I’m shocked. But I am disappointed.

You’re not alone in that.

I also reread your comments sometimes with a deep sense is satisfaction.

(I’m kidding. Although I did check your comment history to make sure you weren’t a monster before even making that joke.)

True. I don’t post the license prominently, but my comments are Creative Commons, Attribution, Share Alike

Okay, I’m actually kidding about misunderstanding which bit of my comment your reply was to.

Yes, it’s great that MineTest is open source! And the mod community is impressive.

My comments are pure Internet gold. I’m actually only here to read my own comments. It helps me remember how brilliant and humble I am.

My posts help people discover MineTest. It’s pretty great, and it’s free.

That’s heartbreaking. Radio Shack was so fun, while it lasted.

The Halo Anniversary collection shines on SteamDeck. It was my first purchase after getting mine, I think.

Netflix can’t do what got them to the top.

They can’t grow that way but they could easily hold on and remain profitable, popular and successful.

They were well on their way to enjoying “Kleenex” or “Oreo” stable market success, but their leadership and shareholders apparently aren’t satisfied with winning.

I’ll take “Organizations that made it to the top by doing something different, only to fall under leadership that doesn’t understand what made them successful and descend into ruins” for 200, Alex.

Seriously, Jeopardy team - this is a rich category:

• Netflix advertisements.
• Zoom mandates staff return to offices.
• Microsoft forgets what the “P” in “PC” stands for.
• Toys R Us implements a shitty holiday gift returns policy.
• Sears decides to sacrifice reputation for quarterly stock price gains.
• Walgreens decides bottom-of-the-barrel incompetent pharmacists can uphold their “get it all done in one visit” secret sauce.
• Radio Shack decides that once-every-two-years cellphone contract sales are the future for holding passionate electronics hobbyists’ loyalty.

If we’re stretching the joke further (and by all means we should, this is a delight), there’s also always “Final Fantasy TicTacs: Advance”

Spray painting a wall is fine,

Yeah. Particularly when private bank walls are right there prominently on many corners just asking to be painted.

We’re in a “fuck around” cycle where they pretend that the problem was we didn’t have “copilot”, and not that all of our development managers are wildly unqualified.

The “find out” part comes next.

Which is fucking impossible to fathom, because my fucking grocery store’s app can’t even implement search reliably, today.

I’m not sure how they’re going to manage to make things worse.

Actually, I’ll make a guess. My guess is we will go under the critical skill level needed for building safe hospital equipment, and we will get a rash of that stuff killing people due to lack of programmer skills.

I hope the asshole CEOs are the ones that die, but there’s not enough karma in the world for that.

NDISWrapper was a big turning point for me - the first time I got Linux working and kept it for the life of the hardware, it was due to NDISWrapper.

I hope I’m rocking that hard at 84.

My next non-alcohol bubbly drink will be in your honor, Larry.

Great summary bot, as ever. But missed this absolute gem from the comments:

“Thanks for helping me wardrive and steal the WiFi from that dentist, Larry.”

and how we could have achieved it all with no written records.

Our religion prevented using doc strings or code comments of any kind. What little software we had that actually worked correctly probably was aliens, come to think of it…

Oof. But yeah. Fair.

I want to go on record that sometimes I just wear sandals with socks.
