Software developer by day, insomniac by night. Send me pictures of baby bats to make my day.
I don’t think the solution to the predators being gone is for humans to fill the gap, rather to let the predators make a return.
Here in Sweden we’re looking to shoot most of our wolves for no good reason. That is after a considerable effort to stabilise the population and bring genetic diversity back to it.
Turnips may ride hogs!
I recently repurposed one of my old Pis to run LibreElec for me. It barely chugs along, and there are many issues. Thought I might buy a new one, not realising just how much they cost now. It’s frankly absurd.
I could buy a much more capable NUC second hand for less.
Only if you’re a corporation! If you’re a filthy worker then you have no rights.
Sounds almost like the corpos have a monopoly on email.
At least cheese and bread isn’t even on the same playing field in terms of evil.
He lives with no valid reason.
What shoes CBH even mean? I feel like I’ve never seen it.
I recently put Graphene on my no-longer work phone. I think what makes it extra tough is that it feels familiar and simultaneously alien.
There’s an action centre, and you can edit toggles, but there are no editable sliders for audio and brightness. A lot of the icons feel like buttons but aren’t.
Then there’s the gestures. They feel a little off. The back motion can be done forward too, and there’s no preview of what “back” is. And I loathe the settings pane.
Graphene is nice, but I still dislike Android.
Good! Klarna has become a basic payment processor here. It can be difficult to not use them, even when paying directly.
Like when I had to return a bag of my dogs food, they told me to contact klarna. I was baffled because I paid with a card directly. Had no idea klarna was even involved in the process.
They’re well known for exploiting people. Like we have ads for splitting up payments for fucking fast food using klarna. Ugh! And the CEO is just begging to meet Green Mario. Such a massive cockwomble.
lmao, Klarna says that abroad? They’ve been established here in Sweden for like a decade at this point. Fucking leeches, inserting themselves everywhere. No good tech comes out of Sweden.
Primarily about performance and reliability. I blanket my network in a VPN, if I can’t reliably get my usual speeds that’d be discouraging.
This blog post reads entirely like AI and the excerpt in the post or whatever doesn’t really make sense.
AI disclosure?
It it’s funny because I was sitting with figuring out a good monitoring solution for my own needs the other day. Too bad none of this actually provides any useful information.
I am interested in this too. I’ve heard mixed things about IVPN but that seems to be the main alternative.
Not the person you’re asking, but personally I don’t care for that. That’s basically bloat to me. The storefront itself is decently sluggish though it’s gotten better with the years, it’s not very easy to actually browse for things, finding less popular things that isn’t slop is a chore in and of itself. The client is also decently heavy.
I like Steam, but I see things worth improving on.
And for what’s not on GoG the other DRM free platforms, like Fitgirl, tend to fill the gaps.
I hooked my laptop up to the TV yesterday and learned that the Jellyfin app (on a phone) can remote control a web browser session. It was great. Utterly seamless.
More than vibe coded, this part should be concerning.
Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton, had a message for an employee in the company’s security Slack channel who urged the company to at least take a few days to pentest newly written code before pushing it live. “That’s bullshit and loser thinking. Of course it’s possible to be fast and secure,” Yen wrote in the channel at the end of August. “Stop thinking always of how to be slower, and focus more on how to be faster.”
Someone highlighted that they should take a few days to do some extra testing to ensure security. The CEO says it’s bullshit and to be less slow. That’s extremely reckless.
I never got this. We’ve reached phones having hundreds of gigs and I don’t know what I’d be storing on my phone. Phones can be lost or break easily, so I wouldn’t want to store anything valuable. The largest files I have tend to be photos and the like, and they’re too valuable to just sit on a phone.
