  • We all deserve better than this

    Jump

  • Honestly, I'm just keeping my money in my saving account. No way I'm spending my hard-earned money on overpriced stuff, I can wait a while longer, and I'm considering a Steam Deck as my daily driver. Not a beast, but not excessively priced either.

  • The Democratic Opposition Should Look More Like Rep. Al Green

    Jump

  • I was dissappinted to see most of the Dems sitting in silence, with tiny protestation signs as if they were at an auction.

    C'mon, make some noise, get in trouble, but do something!

  • Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals [see comments]

    Jump

  • I suggest whoever has old firmware files to upload them to the Internet Archive (if they allow those).

  • I dream of the day we can communicate over some kind of mesh network like Meshtastic. That'd be nice having a nearly ubiquitous coverage for free.

  • Musk: Canada is not a real country

    Jump

  • Canada is doing what every bully victim should do, stand up for themselves. These retaliatory tariffs are a consequence of striking us first.

  • Hotdog / Not Hotdog

    But yeah, having a semantical image filter could do be a good first line, of course with human oversight.

  • AI trends

    Yeah that part kinda sucks, but it's not all bad. For example, there's the offline translation engine that relies on a trained model that runs entirely locally, which is kinda neat and great privacy-wise.

    Jump

  • I think you mostly just need to block incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org

  • How long do you leave co-wash in your hair?

    Jump

  • I put the conditioner in my hair, then let it sit a couple of minutes while I wash the rest of my body. When I'm done I rinse it all in one go.

  • For the glory of the Empire!

  • I ordered McDonalds FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE

  • Microsoft quietly released a free offline version of Office, but you're not going to like it

    Jump

  • That way you can't work around Microsoft getting a copy of your work no matter what.

  • Would you say that your game can be played entirely locally of you can't save your game while offline?

    I cannot fathom even using a software that ties a critical feature such as the ability of saving your work to an Internet connection.

    At that point, if your software relies on the Internet to accomplish an important task, it doesn't matter if the app is native or runs some code in your browser if some critical features depends on someone else's system to work as expected.

  • Trying to learn a young language, using a tutorial that's more than a year old

    Jump

  • Right, I think I found a lot of stuff for v3, but not that much for v4 and almost nothing for v5. I still managed to figure it out and I have a decent template now.

    The worst is trying to find which version a post on StackExchange is about..

    Just having an example with the most common tasks (ex: creating registry keys, registering DLLs or Fonts, etc) and having some comments in there with the common pitfalls to avoid would really go a long way.

    I do appreciate v5 in a way, now that you don't need a preprocessing step for the file, that you can use a wildcards for a directory, and you can just build a package in a single step is a great improvement. Maybe I was spoiled with Nullsoft and Inno Setup in the past 😬

  • Trying to learn a young language, using a tutorial that's more than a year old

    Jump

  • I had to build a Windows Installer package using WiX Toolset, and v5 came out maybe 3-4 months at that point and the structure compared to v4 is quite different.. that was fun trying to build something with lackluster documentation compared to v4. I gave a shot to ChatGPT, etc to help, but all it could spit out was a mess.

  • NewPipe was failing me today, so I reverted back to the YouTube app. After the first ad (20 seconds), the app gave me a permanent blur.

    Jump

  • Practical Engineering is also on Nebula (among other some high quality YouTube channels), and tou can get an ad-free yearly sub for around $30. Not giving my views or af-money to Google.
