Holy crap! I just noticed we're up to 130 unit test suites in @pidgin 3 now! Compare that to the 7 suites we have in Pidgin 2!

This is what we've been talking about when we've been saying that we're making the code easier to maintain. The code has been reworked so that we can actually unit test way more of it and we will continue to add more tests as we move forward!

@ai6yr nodds in agreement whereas the "akshual coding" is "relatively simple" if one doesn't mind #readability, #maintainability or using understandable variablr names...

Testing can be automated if one builds and documebts the tests that is...

"#AI" can't do this because those #LLM|s don't learn organically but merely act as "#StochasticParrot" and not as intelligent beings that is able or even willing to transfer * exchange information freely...

@OpenComputeDesign same with many other things.

Personally I'm so pissed off amidst the ongoing #Enshittification that I really need to get the #NUCbook off the ground before my #X230tablet dies.

@FirewallDragons I think #RightToRepair must necessitate any #RightToModify, because #RepairReuseRecycle necessitates #Upcycling and thus using #AftermarketFirmware.

  • And the "legitimate objections" have long been adressed by #ETSI et. al. mandating a #Lockdown on #Baseband / #Wireless-Chipset firmware to "enshure compliance"...

Needless to say I think even that is overreach, as regulators like @BNetzA not only can but will enforce spectrum regulations and pursue violators by all legal means, so it's not as if there is a rampant flood of #SpectrumViolations amd no means to stop them - far from it.

  • Personally I want to see a mandate for the maximum possible extend of #maintainability and #modifyability only limited by legal (regulatory compliance) and technical limitations...

You’re taking over a massive website and need to find an economic way to maintain content and code. However, you’re in hell and can only choose one of four options. Which one do you pick?
