Who tests the useless survey? Everyone with regression tests. Like dude, everything you talk about has been written “in blood” from years of hosting production systems. If the useless survey is needed, then write a test for it, or a testcase to manually try it. Don’t just upgrade, see that the app is up and push to prod, that’s not testing, that’s asking for trouble.

Okay, let’s be angry at the company and frown a lot at what happened. Gurr, bad company, evil.

And now think of what you’d rather have - a working system, or a reason to be angry? If you have something that integrated with something else, lock it down at a specific version so you control the upgrade and know those versions work 100% of the time together. “Latest” is just asking for trouble - be it in a docker image, in dependencies or elsewhere. It’s absolutely not a “best practice” if it isn’t even a code smell or an outright bug. You could’ve had a slightly outdated version, which won’t be “exploitable” - you wouldn’t have enough time to exploit anything in that time, especially with smaller companies and obscure exploits.

Instead of putting out the fire, you could’ve been now looking into the upgrade, seeing on UAT or Test or whatever that forms aren’t supported, chilling till they are supported or complaining that they aren’t.

Upgrades breaking removed is like programming / devops 101, and a huge reason for technical debt in very old projects. Leaving all that to chance is just irressponsible.

About as badly as lemmy has been coopted by tankies

Oh removed off with your revisioning of history.

A heat gun is enough to melt through plastic, there is no need for higher temperatures. You can do it with a hairdryer.

Seeing as you can do the exact same thing with a hairdryer, it’s inventing a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

Ah yes, the same 20mln people who looted the country to removed afterwards, killed an uncountable amount of Poles. Good thing that you mention me “equating bad pootin with gud USSR which totally wasn’t a removedhole”. Last I checked, the invasion happened in 39’ when Russia literally allied with the Nazis to partition Poland. Last I checked, Katyn happened in 1940 in the “totally not a removedhole” USSR. But maybe that’s history revisionism and the soviets were the best people around, totally not an invading nation that killed, raped and looted.

Ah yes the tankie forgetting about Katyn in their assessment and countless other massacres. You heard it here folks, the war in Gaza is bloodless. So many nazis we need a denazification special military operation, huh?

Yeah, okay, you are just a tankie. removeding bloodless invasion my ass you ignorant moron. You are insulting the history of my country and my people. I won’t be wasting any more time on you - you don’t deserve the wear on my phone screen from replying to you.

First of all, anecdotal evidence. Also survivorship bias. One - the type of person that goes to study abroad is usually wealthy, well off. Two, your family is collateral so you are guaranteed to return. Saying negative shut about the regime can get you in trouble so they’ll sing praises of it - just like in Russia.

Second, the USSR thing is complete dogremoved and you can see why now in Ukraine. People hated the russians. Speaking russian in western Ukraine after it disolved could get you threatened or punched in the face. Same thing with the Baltics. Same thing with Poland.

Adding copyright to your posts is cringe and ultimately doesn’t do anything more than the facebook message chains saying “I don’t consent to X Y and Z”

Now it is “has a spine”, next time they arbitrairly decide to make up rules it won’t be cool because they won’t align with your worldview

And let me guess, he is the one you report from propaganda because you don’t agree with his views.

Nice bait dude.

It is an inconvenience. Having to track which account can view which communities, with all the drama and defederation happening each week isn’t easy.

Your instance is tiny and it is manageable. For large instances, it’s not “just a single query”. You also can’t miss anything, so photos and similar - if they have uploaded something.

Also, does your instance have a cookie prompt? If not, then that’s a paddlin.

For an instance admin? Yeah, it probably would be a good time to not get screwed over. Or at least try to implement it themselves. Traffic blocking isn’t that problematic when location based

Yes I can.

Because you don’t know how GDPR works.

And you think that lemmy devs / admins being hit by thousands of dollars of a fine is going to go the same way facebook goes? That they’ll be able to ignore it and say it’s a cost of business? The giant corps get fined too. The US companies get fined too (for all the people saying “this EU law, me no care”.
