Get a NUC or one of those mini Lenovo things that show up in lots of homelab photos.
no risk of laptop battery swelling
This is wrong. Any device with a battery can swell.
Welcome to the hobby! It’ll consume your free time and (if you’re the right kind of person) deliver lots of satisfaction.
Wait, I thought there were peace talks just before midterms. Did someone lose interest in public opinion right after that was settled?
At least this shit will continue to piss off people who used to like that guy. Sucks that people have to get hurt for that to happen (in Iran). I don’t give a fuck about his voters getting hurt, only feel bad for their children.
Eat my ass, MAGA./
RasPi and external storage.
Didn’t we already win that war like twenty different times? I feel like someone with a large amplification platform kept saying so.
The part that irritates me the most is the wasted food. I sorta feel more upset about that than I do random acts of violence just because I’m not conditioned for this to be normalized like with violence. What an effed up statement that is.
I watch bodycam vids. It still gets asked.
Finally, someone got the message.
Nature’s true super food.
As many free alternatives as there were before the rampant vibecoding, it seems that this growing collection of tools is not only functional, but a message to the large companies as well. Most of these apps are still far from what they intend to replace, however, so we’ll have to see how deep this message cuts.
Blood in the water for Adobe. Acrobat is a steaming pile of garbage. My org worked with their engineering team to track down a bug that we reported. They affirmed the bug (app hangs on launch) and then took four to five months fixing it.
I’ve worked in software engineering. I know that debugging, patching, testing, verifying is difficult. But the enterprise license costs a lot and that was a very long time with a crippling bug. The only satisfactory answer (to me) is that they don’t feel urgency because they are entrenched without real competition. They need to wake up.
(No, I don’t think vibe-coded Acrobat replacements will unseat them. I think LLM-powered real devs will come for them because the moat is smaller.)
I had no idea this song was heroic! I remember singing it in first grade in the 80s. It’s struck me as propaganda for years. Nice reorientation!
Why are your coworkers in your personal life this much? They have no business knowing anything you don’t want to tell them.
Episode of the Better Offline podcast: The Man That Destroyed Google Search
Hi. I’m Nobody.
Software developers are on Mastadon, though. Big time.
Mine bitcoin! Just kidding.
I dunno, install an interesting OS or distro and use it as a throwaway sandbox for learning. Or turn it into a makeshift router (not via installing pfsense or other router OS, but by configuring network services by hand in Debian or Ubuntu). I tend to want to use redundant hardware to learn new skills.
But the dodge bros saved us something like fifty bajillion dollars, right? It all evens out, surely. There’s no way up-front preventative action costs less than huge recalls, right?
Yeah, temporarily, I think. You ever indulge in a food repeatedly until it stops tasting good? I have, many times. It resets after a while, but the difference, I think, is that the light and sound are actually doing physical damage to your retina and ear follicles / ear drum. You could blow up a fire cracker in your mouth to get that outcome, but that’s not what you’re asking.
Graduated reduction under the supervision of a medical provider. I went off a medication without supervision, once, and it was a disaster.
Used to be Memmy for Lemmy. That’s gone, so I’ve been using Arctic and the web.
This just inspired me to download the source code for Memmy for Lemmy. Whether I spend time updating it for personal use or not, at least I have it if I need it. Sorta like how I plan to keep a derivative of Pocket going if I decide Wallabag isn’t enough (also code available on github).
It doesn’t. I’m neurodivergent. I am bi-polar.
