I don’t know, but I’m gonna take a wild guess and say some Nazis pissed some people off… As they do.

This isn’t the first time Notepad++ was compromised. if I recall correctly, the first time was by a CIA backdoor.

So, classic Eric Migicovsky. There was a reason I was staying away from this RePebble shit entirely.

This is the same guy who offered integration between Beeper and iMessage and had it broken by Apple in under a week, and then… just stopped trying after promising it to customers.

Then when he got bored with Beeper he sold it to Automattic.

It’s so much like his original run with Pebble as well, where he fucked over the devs on their way out who were promised jobs with the sale of the company, to find out late in the game that wasn’t actually happening.

I think Migicovsky being allowed to startup companies and then throw them in the bin when he gets bored while pocketing the profit should be outlawed.

Eat shit, Musk glazer.

Jesus fucking Christ… Is Microsoft literally vibe-coding everything now? Do these updates not go through any rigorous testing at all before being released into the wild?

The only solution is to re-image?? This is just flat out fucking awful.

Sorry to all those people who went for the LTSC versions of Windows. How the living fuck does this kind of stuff happen.

What, and let me emphasize this, the fuck?

If that happens, prior Crucial consumers (like myself) should boycott because they already showed what they actually care about and it isn’t their loyal customer base. They don’t want us to buy their products? We should happily give them what they want now should they change their mind later.

Anyway yeah, if they come back, they’re officially on my shit list.

You gotta be fucking kidding me, I swore by Crucial RAM and SSDs. Eat shit, Micron.

Oh I didn’t catch that part, that’s even better than how I understood it, thanks so much for clarifying!

This is very cool but all the machines I would use this on are headless with no GUI installed. Womp womp for me.

No worries, I wasn’t as clear as I could have been, for sure.

MetaFilter literally used Adobe Coldfusion to put together their site and the site is still using ColdFusion as of 2025. There wasn’t “backend development” in the same way there is for projects like Lemmy, Piefed, Mastodon, and so on. MeFi is only just considering rebuilding the site from scratch since 2024 and the main head of that exploratory project has been MIA for several months now.

You’re right, it doesn’t have to mean no development, I was really just referring back to MetaFilter as an example. A site can work without updates for a long, long time, especially if the core of the site is off-the-shelf stuff like PHP, CSS, and HTML, which is what MeFi largely is made up of.

This is the answer. Pretty sure, for example, MetaFilter is running bespoke code for their forum (which means no development at all), and it’s been online since 1999.

When you do it for work, you log what you have changed each time you make a change to try to fix it, and you log what you revert, so you can keep track of what you have tried, what worked, and what didn’t and have a clearer idea of what the solution was.

Sometimes it really does take a while to nail down though, and sometimes it isn’t entirely clear why what worked worked. Especially if you’re a junior network engineer without as much experience.

Yeah but it looks like this includes support for organization Office 365 accounts, so it’s not just something that only worked 20 years ago. If it only supported outdated Exchange servers that would be one thing, but it seems to support modern ones.

That’s the way to do it, smart planning. I’m glad you were able to make it happen even if it set you back more than you had hoped.

I only wish I had money to get in before prices bump up. 😭

Being poor sucks.

I had never heard of this so went looking. Super useful stuff here!

I think both of your arguments in this thread have merit. You are correct that it is a misused tool, and you are correct that the better solution is a more compassionate society. The other person is also correct that we can and do at least make attempts to make such tools less available as paths to self harm. Since you used the analogy of people jumping off bridges, I have lived near bridges where this was common so barriers and nets were put up to make it difficult for anyone but the most determined to use it as a path to suicide. We are indeed failing people in a society that puts profit over human life first, but even in a more idealized society mental health issues and attempts at suicide would still happen and to not fail those people we would still need to do things like erect barriers and safeguards to prevent self-harm. In my eyes both of you are correct and it is not an either or issue as much as it is a “por que no los dos?” issue. Why not build a better society and still build in safeguards?
