Software developer by day, insomniac by night. Send me pictures of baby bats to make my day.
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.
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.
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 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.
“Stop thinking always of how to be slower, and focus more on how to be faster.”
It’s not “how to be slower” but “how to be safer and ensure we deliver a product that holds up to what we’re portraying it as.”
It isn’t the same thing, no. The Russian alternative got forked by some EU corporation and relabeled to Euro Office. Further, it’s FOSS, so it can be truly independently audited unlike Microslop’s garbage.
I will urge LibreOffice/Collabora any day. I don’t really care for the Russian BS suite because it still adheres to Microsoft’s proprietary “open” document standards, and so long as you use that bullshit you’ll never own your own documents. You’ll always be beholden to their garbage one way or another.
Microsoft’s format is “open” but they don’t follow their own standard so it’s effectively proprietary. I’d be surprised if the odt export even works.
It specifically says that performance wasn’t benchmarked.
The root cause is incompatibility with Microsoft’s proprietary document format causing fuckiness for LibreOffice based Collabora. E.g. formatting issues.
They could’ve tried the Russian alternative but I guess they’d prefer to gargle Microsoft’s fetid cock some more.
“Privacy focused” “You can send your data to Google or OpenAI”
Lol. Lmao even.
Good. I heard that they are pretty milquetoast on the demands but I’m glad people are protesting.
People managed just fine in the past. Word of mouth. Fliers. Set up a lightweight static website. You don’t need 70k people to be able to press a 「いいね」 button or leave a comment. People can use text messages, IM, email, and their own facebook groups, twitter groups, or whatever to spread the word. You can keep physical ledgers of people you organise with.
There’s no reason that a group of 70k people couldn’t be thousands of groups of handfuls of individuals all working for a similar cause.
Looking forward to it, I’m invested now haha!
I’ve no idea how to even see that. There’s a little bar on the settings page on the Claude site that shows a percentage of usage, but I’ve genuinely no idea how much it’s costing - and since I’m looking for an exit strategy I also don’t really care. My company made it abundantly clear that they wished to fuck me non-consensually in the arse back in May and I’m done with it at this point.
Past month I’ve been “working” on a project I have zero care for, just burning Claude credits chewing through one stupid idea after another and signing off on it. No one is asking me to show anything for it, no one is checking in on anything. There’s a general apathy about everything, covered up with a typical corporate enthusiasm.
It’s all so fake and disgusting, lmao.
Gods how I wish American tech companies would ignore the EU and leave us the fuck alone.
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.
