Investigating the conversion between #tox and #pip enabled projects to #precommit and #UV
This investigation is almost done and will modernize our #cruft #cookiecutter Python template.
Richard MacManusBig tech #cruft is something we've all gotten used to, along with all the other #enshittification. But which product has the WORST cruft? (comment if your one isn't in the list) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruft
iTunes (the OG for internet software cruft)
Google accounts
Amazon Alexa (for the folks with kids & Echo Dots)

AnthonyLinkedIn changed how they code their landing page and I needed to adjust my uBlock Origin rules to hide the cluttered up "news" (really, ads) feed they put down the side of the page. If like me you want an uncluttered experience and use uBlock Origin, here's a rule that hides that feed:
#uBlockOrigin #LinkedIn #cruft #clutter #ads

flatplanetThe joys of self hosting. Got a call about a #mailbounce, realised that the #DominExpired because the credit card had expired. Why no alert? The mail account the alert was sent to had been decommissioned years ago #cruft
Now I get to play #mailcatchup as the rest of the #interwebs #DNS #caches refresh

Jan EkholmSpdLog seems nice. Replaced log4cpp with that in a non trivial application. It looked like log4cpp has been more or less abandoned. Lots of fun to modernize this thing which hasn’t been touched since 2016. All kinds of pretty weird dependencies also makes it interesting. But logging is sorted out now. Also moving from boost:: to std:: for things that have been moved there over the years. Maybe it’s also time to upgrade the used C++ standard from C++11 to something newer.

Michael DaumHey #brave, read up on #featurecreep when you get a chance.
Billy SmithA minor, but important point:
After you have finished the working, make sure to thank the sapients involved, and, completely close the working down.
If you think that #cruft in computers was bad, wait till you deal with the backwash from magickal workings... :D
It's the things that therapy bills are made from, if you're lucky. :D
