Opinions are my own. Profile picture description: Black on white pictogram with a D20 showing 20 for a head and a game controller for a body and arms, holding a white cane.

  • I Was Scammed Out of $130,000 — And Google Helped It Happen

  • My bank is continuously surprised that I understand this. It’s probably a bad sign.

  • Vibe coding is great for MVP's

    Jump

  • The thing about low code is the successful products in that field have their blocks built by experienced teams. I’ve heard of setting up low code apps via LLMs and that almost makes sense. They can only do as much damage as a bad project manager cosplaying a solution engineer, scrapping the whole exercise isn’t too bad, and they can be a nice demo for the client.

  • feat: Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md by numinit · Pull Request #15 · JiaT75/STest

    Jump

  • I would have thought describing images you post to spaces for blind people would be common sense, but do find my self enforcing rules on that all the time. Rules that are front and center. A real code of conduct formalizes rules, allows for consistent enforcement, and informs minority populations of the protections they may expect. If you don’t need that, I’m happy for you, but you may want to explore the nature of that privilege. Whether or not that’s necessary in the context of FOSS projects depends on multiple factors. It’s certainly not necessarily if you want to be a benevolent dictator for life.

  • That would theoretically help, but do you suppose the people who make them use floppies would be magnanimously generous enough to offer two drives?

  • Right, here’s my rough process:

    1. Content in question
    2. Adjacent content
    3. Profile
    4. Recent history on subreddit
    5. Mod logs, notes, discussions
    6. Recent history elsewhere
    7. Check other websites and tools that already provide summaries on Reddit users
    8. Back to 3 with authors of adjacent content

    Along the line, discuss with other mods in real time, off platform because Reddit is still not properly accessible.

    Anywhere along the way I may feel confident to make a call and skip the rest.

    And I only deal with a 30k sub…

    That said, Reddit’s already filtering things for likely spam that just aren’t. I don’t have huge confidence in them and I don’t have any confidence in LLMs for this.

  • Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots)

    Jump

  • I basically played good guy, reloaded a save to try a couple of alternatives near the end (including turning bad) then played full bad guy on New Game + which, let me tell you, was a wild ride, still reloading towards the end for a few more options.

    All in all, something like 6 or 7 different endings. I love that the bad guy route doesn’t eliminate some sections but gives you alternative challenges instead.

  • Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots)

    Jump

  • It’s so good! The story cop-out also adds to replayability. I played it twice over with minor reloads for about 4 or 5 different endings.

  • Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots)

    Jump

  • In general, yes, but like the original list, the name of the game is the spoiler. I’ll add some more info though.

  • [Discussion] Does nostalgic editing rob us of the documentary aspect of street photography?

    Jump

  • Good points! Stylized vs realistic is also decided with subject and composition, not just medium.

    I hadn’t thought about re-editing in this context. That kind of flexibility leaves room for a later choice too.

  • [Discussion] Does nostalgic editing rob us of the documentary aspect of street photography?

    Jump

  • Very interesting. Yeah, the K1000 and friends are great for the fundamentals, developing and printing is as important to learn as cursive or touch typing.

    Do pros recommend film for anything apart from learning or the vibes though? Yeah, I’ll only get a frame or two with my Pentax, but I could get 30 plus with the R10, let alone an a9. Aren’t these better tools of the trade?

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photojournalist or a corporate photographer doing anything but digital, and I only see wedding photographers doing stylistic editing. Even that is actually going into staged photos, so documentary work seems to be very realistic.

  • [Discussion] Does nostalgic editing rob us of the documentary aspect of street photography?

    Jump

  • So you’re focused on artistic intent? I get that.

    My reason to shoot or edit in black and white is to narrow down the scope of the photo to specific elements.

    That means I’m pre-interpreting the scene. Either giving people what I’m focused on or not showing the full scene, depending on interpretation. And the historians will have to deal with it, like you said.

  • Apple Will Reportedly Let iPhone Users in the EU Switch Away From Siri

    Jump

  • I miss Google Assistant. That said, Apple making Google services harder to use has made me gradually move towards other options like Home Assistant.

  • How Lidl accidentally took on the big guns of cloud computing. A unit of Europe’s largest retailer is offering IT services to companies wary of big providers such as Amazon and Google.

    Jump

  • Super interesting. It’s a similar story to Amazon’s: they were big enough to need their own infrastructure and ended up providing it too.

    The big difference, from where I’m sitting, is Amazon has the same branding across the business and Schwarz Group doesn’t.
