Links2 is obviously the best browser. #links2gang

But librewolf is pretty neat.

I want to give it a shot at some point! It just looks complicated

I’m not sure how I like at protocol being the thing that makes this happen, but I’m glad others are working on the issue! Maybe I’ll change my mind later but it’s still to close to a million dollar company for my taste

It doesn’t. But code becomes p2p with no one organizer.

I can’t wait for federated git prs/issues.

Interesting! I’ll have to give that a shot sometime.

Try old.lemmy.world or piefed, both I believe you can login with links2

One place I worked at just gave people Linux computers without telling them and disabled the boot image. The job was mostly online Salesforce, so Chrome got them through everything. Imaging was a breeze. We even made it kinda look like windows. No one really commented on it. We didnt hide it from anyone but we didnt go out of our way to make a big deal out of it.

Linux works when people stop thinking of it as “Linux”. Its “Android” or “Steam OS” or “My smart TV” etc… All you need to do is rename it and suddenly they are ok with it.

It has its uses. For templeting and/or getting a small project off the ground its useful. It can get you 90% of the way there.

But the meme is SOOO correct. AI does not understand what it is doing, even with context. The things JR devs are giving me really make me laugh. I legit asked why they were throwing a very old version of react on the front end of a new project and they stated they “just did what chatgpt told them” and that it “works”. Thats just last month or so.

The AI that is out there is all based on old posts and isnt keeping up with new stuff. So you get a lot of the same-ish looking projects that have some very strange/old decisions to get around limitations that no longer exist.

Im looking forward in the next 2 years when AI apps are in the wild and I get to fix them lol.

As a SR dev, the wheel just keeps turning.

Try opencobol. You may have more success.

Some cobols like rm COBOL require a literal custom Linux header in order to work with SQL. Others work with odbcs natively.

It might be my area. Most COBOL infa got replaced or is on life support. But I did happen to see the good stuff once in a while. There’s a reason it was not touched.

A small part of me thinks it might be the place to retire. Working on old code bases.

I used to work with COBOL. The language isn’t terrible, it’s the 40+ years of no context changes that suck. It even works with SQL… although the most common configuration is using a flat file.

When the worst case is to lose your job and never deal with the legacy code again.

One universal login via fediverse sounds like a dream. I would love that.

Sdf is pretty amazing.
