politics @lemmy.world•Republican Sen. Tillis calls his vote for Hegseth the 'biggest regret of my career' in a new book
29·8 days agoThat quote was quite enraging, as well as this one:
On his vote for Kennedy, Tillis writes that “I guess it’s easy to say now, but I’m the one who has to live with that vote and all the havoc Kennedy’s tenure has caused the country as a result.”
All Americans gotta live with your vote, asshole

Television@piefed.social•Is Lantern's worth getting involved in? Even after the horrible movie?English
14·10 days agoYes. It’s a good show. The issues the movie had were the result of bad filmmaking, not something inherent to the character or IP.

It’s like they aren’t even listening to the words they are saying themselves

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the best live performance you've seen?
11·20 days agoI saw him close to 20 years ago and the thing that always stood out to me the most was that he sounded exactly the same as he does on his albums. I was very impressed.

I used to upgrade every 2 years until I got an iPhone 15 Pro. I was going to ride or die with my 13 mini but I really wanted to get all my devices on usb-c. I splurged on my current phone with the intention to keep it for a long time. Going on 3 years now.
I used to go hard on the androids with rooting and customizing. I’ve since resigned myself to wanting a phone that “just works.”

Programming@programming.dev•How do you handle cron jobs that depend on flaky external APIs?
3·25 days agoI’ve been in a similar situation, and what I wound up doing was what you describe as a “catch up” job. I do as much work as I can before I can’t anymore, store the result, and then continue from the failure point at a later time. It does feel a bit disgusting with a lot more moving parts but you gotta get a little creative with unreliable APIs. Gotta be careful with this though, because if you try and run this catchup at the start of every new run of the job then you can see how the backlog could quickly grow impossibly large if you don’t allow requests to ultimately fail and drop out of the queue entirely.
Also there’s not really anything you can do if the pagination methodology of the API is changed without warning. If the provider has some way to subscribe to API changes, like a newsletter, then you could get on that. Otherwise all you can really do is set up some alerting if you can reliably recognize when you’re only getting a partial data set.
This would have been excellent at around ~$600USD
I was a little miffed when I finally convinced my parents to get me a used GameCube for $100, only for the retail price to drop to $100 a couple months later.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK RSS Feeds Allow You to Stay Updated Without Creating AccountsEnglish
3·1 month agoYeah, I follow a few YouTube channels with it. I also use the “random Wikipedia article” feature. I used to also track a couple subreddits but I think that broke lately with one of Reddit’s updates.






It’s frustrating in particular for this game though, because you can go several days without being able with friends after an update. Personally, it stopped me from playing because I would frequently go back and forth between Xbox and Switch 2 and it’s the same issue.
