  • When not even the meds allow you to will your brain into doing work 💀

    Jump

  • I feel this way too hard. I work with software and have a busy but chill job in the sense of no one really bothers me except ticket users/cool coworkers.

    I get super distracted not only with rabbit holes but also trying to get organized.

    Recently I've been trying to find ways to improve my productivity but its led me down hours or trying different apps/programs to try to better my work flow which in turn has hurt my work flow.

    On top of that. The meds don't hit the same and I've found myself on my phone more.

    I love my job too so it's not even that I don't wanna do the work lol.

  • Not now, not ever! Stop asking!

    Jump

  • I feel like the bigger security concern here, if one needs to worry about it for their threat level that is more likely, is just like if someone knows your password, who could force me to unlock my phone via biometrics?

  • Stack overflow is almost dead

    Jump

  • This was the majority of my experience as well. As a newer programmer, I'm more than happy to always know a better option. But if the way I'm looking to solve my problem is wrong, don't just give me Y, explain to me why it may not work how I think it will. Tell me about X and some pitfalls or reasoning for it not going to work, then recommend Y. Because if others only see the Y answer to my question about X, they'll probably just keep searching for a solution to X not knowing it may not work like I didn't know.

  • Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military

    Jump

  • Regardless of current politics, this is great advice anyways for a lot of people. These alternatives are very user friendly now a days, including many Linux distros. They will do almost if not all what a user needs. Few exceptions.

  • Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app

    Jump

  • I recently bought a Garmin to get rid of a $30 Whoop subscription and to get better battery than a smart watch with a Fitbit subscription. Garmin seems to give me everything I needed that the whoop does for only the cost of the watch.

    It does mention all health data will be free still so for the time being I'm not opposed to them locking AI behind a paywall. I understand AI cost resources and is expemsive. I however, will not be using that shit. I think the default health insights are plenty for what i do. Granted I'm not a full on athlete like some Garmin users.

    As long as they don't lock what's available now beyond a paywall I'm okay with this. But overall, I'm sick and tired of subscriptions in general.

  • Folks who moved from Google to Proton: What do you wish you'd known at the start?

    Jump

  • Not sure sure if you know about this but they reason they don't allow it in other clients is the encrypted portion. However, they built a bridge recently that allows you to use it within other clients on Linux (not sure what other OS but looks like windows too) and I've been running it on the Evolution client since.

  • "A calculator app? Anyone could make that."

    Jump

  • I had tried to build one one time and got the ui down. As I started building the more complex arithmatic (chaining calculations) i realized how insanely complex it actually is. It made me realize how complex the most simple looking apps actually are.

  • Kagi search engine now has a Fediverse search option.

    Jump

  • Not sure if you use that feature but does it work like an indexer and allow direct downloads of "Linux isos"?

  • Kagi search engine now has a Fediverse search option.

    Jump

  • I think when I tried them out a while back they also had a usenet search? Can anyone clarify on this?

  • A Reddit moderation tool is flagging ‘Luigi’ as potentially violent content

    Jump

  • Came to the comments to find this question lol

  • Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing

    Jump

  • Can anyone with knowledge on business explain why these companies keep going public other than the simple fact of money?

    I feel like everytime a company does they go full throttle into making shareholders money and lose sight of their original company. Honestly I assumed discord was already public based on some of their monetary features that are overpriced lol.

  • Which is best at mitigating browser fingerprinting? Firefox (with or without arkenfox)? Librewolf? Mullvad browser?

    Jump

  • Not sure about the whitelisting part, but I think this is what Brave already does. Randomizing fingerprinted data as opposed to blending in. Makes it hard to build a profile on.

  • Plex is discontinuing its “watch together” feature

    Jump

  • I used to use Plex as well but similar to your remarks, they started doing a lot more updates that added a "corporate" feel to it such as adding their own movies/tv. Nothing inherently wrong with that but in my opinion, when a platform has the option to add features such as that, that costs money. And they're gonna want to get that money back somehow. Yeah they offer subscriptions but to me this all was a redflag that I could see them taking further in the future. Where as Jellyfin is completely free at the cost of a little extra work to setup.

  • Trouble Fixing permissions for SFTP

    Jump

  • Awesome. I'll give this a try later and get back to you. Thanks!

    Trouble Fixing permissions for SFTP

  • Sounds crazy but... maybe you shouldn't delete Facebook just yet

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, I say yes. And hear me out first please.

    The Fediverse in my eyes should be free. Free to have instances for everyone, including those we disagree with. Because in my opinion, the right to say and think what we want is very important (absolute free speech). And unfortunately, i think that means everyone should be allowed to say what they want. HOWEVER, free speech does not mean free of consequences. The option of federating with those groups or not is up to each community and fortunately I think many would not be okay with including them.

    I'm always open to hearing input as these are personal thoughts so by all means add to or let me know the errors in my thinking. Thanks!

  • Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta

    Jump

  • Thanks for adding! Could you clarify a bit on the points so I can better understand where I was wrong at?

  • Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta

    Jump

  • Yeah maybe Tor Browser was the better example. Just trying to get the point out lol.

  • Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta

    Jump

  • I personally have never used them. I use Proton myself (despite some news) and haven't had any issues. I've heard Tuta is also great but I think one of the cons of privacy mail is that they're not going to be nearly as polished as the big players like Gmail or outlook.

  • JellyFin naming schemas for torrents

    Jump

  • Awesome, that was my next topic to look at was shows. Thanks for clarifying!

  • Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta

    Jump

  • Great read from Tuta on thia topic. It's been an issue for a while but Google going full force publicly on it causes this issue to grow greater.

    I left a comment replying to someone further down about how this can be at least a little combatted and how it is with browsers. (At least to my minimal knowledge of it)
