  • Hmm. I have a bumper sticker that says "I ❤️ Nuclear War". I wonder what bucket that puts me in.

  • SSD capacity could quadruple by 2029 — 8Tb NAND will bring big and affordable SSDs to the market

  • I remember it being a big space sink when I was editing video. Now all I have is DVD rips of my collection and those are nice and compact.

  • Google Is Stuffing Annoying Ads Into Its Terrible AI Search Feature

  • Yup. I signed up to their unlimited a while ago, so I was happy to not notice this at all. 🙂👍

  • I can't believe how much mileage I've gotten out of my 512GB SSDs on my laptops. And my "big" backup disks are hand me down 1TB HDs my friend didn't need. I don't do video, though.

  • My experience with microsoft's ads for linux.

  • My parents are in their 80s and this crap will push them to Linux.

  • Massive E-Learning Platform Udemy Gave Teachers a Gen AI 'Opt-Out Window'. It's Already Over.

    Jump

  • I switched to in-person teaching a couple years ago and am glad I did. It's been a challenging time as an instructor finding ways to make sure I'm added value.

  • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious

    Jump

  • Not that; I just write free books on how to write software.

  • Supporting on GitHub. Just a few bucks a month. It won't take many of us to get to $175/mo.

  • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious

    Jump

  • I do pony up for other services (not YT Premium because I won't give Google any money) and support a significant number of creators via Patreon, giving them more money by far than they'd ever see from me from ads. And I've spent thousands of hours on my own dime making written content and giving it away for nothing with no ads or tracking. So yes, I agree.

  • We were there 6 days ago. Mostly fine except they couldn't change the monitor at the gate to show the proper destination. I wonder if it was this!

  • Andries Brouwer on the OOM killer

    Jump

  • I don't know the details behind it, but it sure takes its sweet time figuring it out. I've let it sit 20 minutes before giving up.

  • Why I Prefer Minetest To Minecraft - YouTube

    Jump

  • Yeah. Under a second to the launcher, and (just timed it) 6 seconds to load and run my existing world.

  • How to quit VIM?

    Jump

  • I haven't measured it, but I can tell I'm noticably slower on standard editors than Vim.
