Playing devil’s advocate here but there could be legitimate reasons to prevent features of an app if you don’t give the permissions.

Things like professional type apps that need geolocation to work (geofencing, photo geoloc) or because x big shot client wants to track their employees and you’re just forced to accept that unless you want to declare bankruptcy.

Definitely is a very hostile pattern though and there’s no reason for meta to do this shit…

I already thought about disabling the dedicated GPU on that laptop, but I unfortunately cannot since I need it to train neural networks and the occasional lan party at, work

If you need a UI, flutter is great, but for a complete beginner it has a bit of a learning curve.

Maybe you could start with a small PWA (progressive web app) using Javascript or typescript. You can do it all in the front-end for something small like this, though you won’t be able to implement some features like synchronization across devices

I know that banks in Europe are bound by law to follow PSD2, which is a set of guidelines to propose APIs. I found a stackoverflow post to generate the required certificates for that but those are only supposed to be for testing purposes https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50045376/how-to-create-eidas-certificate-with-qwac-and-qsealc-profiles-psd2-specific-att

You can use the PSD2 api to fetch the transactions from your account directly, that would be a lot less troublesome. There is also the woob (formerly weboob) project that has web scraping for a lot of banks (specifically french but also some American ones like amex)

Isn’t that when trolls decided to post child abuse material on lemmy world? Since it’s a large instance it federated to a bunch of others whose admin, rightfully so, decided to take down their instance to avoid legal repercussions, as well as take the time to clean everything up

My hot take is that I find it so much more pleasant to write typescript and do most of the work in the front-end rather than deal with optimizing the response time of the backend day in and day out. With SPAs it’s so much easier to fetch just what is needed rather than have monolithic responses that take ages to arrive. Makes caching and cache invalidation that much easier too.

I find that very strenuous on my eyes tbh

VS Code absolutely has refactoring built in. Pressing F2 on a token renames it everywhere it’s referenced

My company didn’t leave me a choice, I got an XPS 15 which I had to setup with my distro of choice (but all the internal tooling is for Ubuntu, I personally would have preferred to install Fedora or Debian 12 with i3wm).

It’s not that bad a laptop but it overheats like crazy and has really shit battery life (barely enough for a meeting), and some of its features I can’t explain : why is a 4k touchscreen on a laptop a good thing? It eats 4x the battery for no noticeable visual improvement. I don’t use my laptop 5 inches from my face.

You could use grafana loki to handle logs, it’s similar to Prometheus so if you’re already using that and/or grafana it’s an easy setup and the API is really simple too.

I’ll die on that hill, but can is better than glass bottle. There’s more fizz going on. Soda tastes also fresher

What’s wrong with 12ft?

Yeah that would make my keyboard signature even more unique. Though you could always hotswap some keys around every few weeks

What if the keyboard is not made of homogenous switches? Some reds, silvers, blues and browns thrown randomly around the keyboard ought to defeat the model, right?

Although monopolies can suck balls, at this point, in the streaming industry, there’s just too much competition, to the point that you have to purchase a service for its catalog, and that’s 4-5 services to subscribe to at this point. It used to be more convenient to pirate stuff, then it got more convenient to just get netflix and hulu, now I’m back sailing the high seas.

For me ML stands for Machine Learning. Mali is sitting on a goldmine of a tld, and could turn into Tuvalu

My fave way to homebrew magic items :

• Take an existing magic weapon, usually a longsword
• Make it literally any other weapon suitable to the party (Mace, warhammer, halberd, dagger)
• ???
• Profit

Or I just remember some magic item or NPC from Baldur’s Gate / Icewind Dale (the video games) and roll with that. My favorite being handing out heads of the flail of ages, that’s always fun

I tried lemmy a little, there’s not much content yet. It really depends on if the major power users migrate to lemmy, and on which instance they will migrate. The other problem being that I have yet to find a good mobile app to access the lemmy instances, and I’m too lazy to make my own (though it would be a good side hustle in my opinion).
