@sjb@clacke@mdhughes@urusan but I like plain tea. I should be able to like coffee too. But so far it's not going very well. I'm still practicing though.
@clacke@mdhughes@urusan Same. I would really love to like plain coffee, as most people who like it seems to really like it. I want to be part of that gang 🙂
@clacke sounds to me me like it means accepting it to be endemic while both admitting it's endemic. Here they're doing the opposite, saying it's endemic but keeping measures in place that only made sense when they're going for covid zero.
In fact, even during the height of the pandemic they kept claiming they weren't going for covid zero, when in practice actually doing it.
@clacke It does seem we have hit the peak here, even though numbers are still big.
I checked recent news reports on this from HK and it seems people are calling for ambulances when they have no symptoms? Are they still aiming for covid zero? It wasn't clear from the article I read.
@clacke here they have staff manning every entrance to malls etc, originally for contact tracing but these days there is no point to it anyway. But they can't get rid of it, because the people doing it would lose their income, which is the only explanation why they still do not it.
Well, I guess the other reason is to make sure no unvaccinated people enter any shops.
@clacke Yeah, once Omicron hits there is very little they can do, unless they want to completely lock down.
Singapore is at 13k per day now, with a post-CNY peak of 30k? And this is with most of the same restrictions that have been in place for the last year or so.
@sjb@bagder is three an actual issue you're having with libcurl? It may have capabilites you don't need, but it's extremely compatible and works everywhere. I was using it in a Mastodon client for Riscos that I was developing.
@sjb@bagder that was my point and the reason I brought up my Riscos project. That system is as old world as it gets while still running on computers made in the last decade (typically used on raspberry pi).
Also, aren't there flags when compiling so you can choose what to include?
@mansr@clacke That depends. The risk is greater, but generally root access is provided to applications by using sudo (i.e. the application can use sudo to perform root operations). When sudo is called, a dialog box is displayed on the screen and the user can allow it or not.
Of course, this infrastructure could have bugs, so you're definitely adding risk. However, assuming no bugs, there is no direct risk introduced by rooting.
@schaueho That's true. My main UI is using JavaFX, and I've had my fair share of screaming at that API as well.
Funnily enough, it's not just the UI side of web development. Right now I'm fighting with getting webworkers to load properly in my development environment. The root cause is a combination of Gradle and the dev server, neither of which have any reasonable documentation. So there isn't even any UI code involved.
