Interesting. Were you using a Jenkinsfile? I’m not sure I completely understand your use case, but using a Jenkinsfile would mean that your entire pipeline would be defined in a file in source control, so you could roll it back if you made a change that didn’t work quite right. Seems to be what your looking for if I’m understanding what you’re looking for.
I looked at it for 5 seconds. The UI looked pretty hideous. Even new reddit looks better than it.
I’ve found the edit/test/debug loop in Jenkins to be much faster than Github Actions. It was quite a refreshing change when I made that transition.
The best way I found to do this is by commenting out the portions of the build that take the longest.
Which is stupid, but that’s what you get with Microsoft products.
(I get that there may be ways to test this locally, but I found this method to be the easiest.)
I thought they renamed their entire product line to “Copilot” by now, didn’t they?
Uninstalling it at this point would leave absolutely nothing left!
It’s called tivoization and started with a device called “Tivo” which was the first of its kind to attempt this procedure.
There are probably lots of hardware devices in your house that use GPL software but prevent you from actually modifying it because the hardware will refuse to run modified copies. If a piece of software is licensed GPLv3, it would violate the license terms to do something like this.
This has to be the most pathetic thing I’ve ever read. A CEO just asking people to stop saying mean things about the garbage he’s pushing out.
It’s just so pathetic. I’d be embarrassed if I were affiliated with his company in any way.
Cupertino has complied anyway, and said it introduced “Notarization for iOS apps, an authorization process for app marketplaces, and requirements that help protect children from inappropriate content and scams.”
Notarization requirements mean that they still maintain total control over the operating system and what software it can run. These kinds of onerous requirements keep the bar artificially high for competitors and are only possible because they are still enforcing their monopolistic control over the platform.
So no, they’re not complying at all actually. They’re just doing the same thing in a different way.
It’s hard to beat the last one, but he somehow managed to pull it off.
Then again, Mitchell Baker is still on the board of directors if I’m not mistaken, so it sounds like the rot is too pervasive for just one CEO to change.
This has been very obvious to a lot of people since mobile devices were originally invented. The notion that you are sold a product that you “own” but is still 100% controlled by the vendor - anyone who thought about it for more than a second knew that it would eventually come to this. Of course, nobody gave even that tiny amount of thought about it. Or they were too naïve to think that a corporation could ever be evil.
I miss the times when spyware was considered uncoool. Mobile devices are the undoubtedly the worst invention of the information age. (And social media is probably the second worst.)
I fell for it. It’s crazy to think how heavily I’ve been trained to believe everything I see is wrong in the most embarrassing and laughable way possible. That’s pretty depressing if you think about it.
This is especially true when we start talking about BSDs and other non-GNU platforms.
