  • It asks to verify pin once a month. Which I think is fair, since it can help you recover from a lockout / transfer your device.

    Even that is too annoying. OK, I just realized there's a way to turn off reminders. Trust me bro, I'm not gonna forget. I'm a big boy.

    backups are important, but they can also be disabled

    Ah! YES! Thanks! I just poked around deeper in the settings and disabled them. Backups are not important to me. I don't want to backup my messages.

    I have never been asked to verify my recovery key.

    Maybe it's because I had backups on? Let's see if this popup goes away.

    Donating to open source projects is important, as it’s a large portion of their funding.

    Agreed. Which is why I donate to them.... And I still get the popups! I'm already a donor, leave me alone.

    Overall, I want to give my attention to my messages, not to Signal. Leave me alone. Let me message people. I don't want to be nagged. WhatsApp doesn't nag people nearly as much. I know Signal is overall better, but user annoyances like the excessive popups makes it harder for me to try to convince normal people to use Signal.

  • I've been using Signal more to test if I can recommend it to other people... it's mostly like WhatsApp, which is good...

    Except, can we please disable all of those god damn popups. Everyday: "Hey! Verify your pin!", "Hey! Verify your LONG ASS recovery key!", "Hey, plz donate!", "HEY! I couldn't start a backup", "HEY LOOK AT ME!"

  • It’s crazy they didn’t before.

    It's really hard for everyone everywhere to vet AI's output. It's impossible if you're not already an expert in the subject matter.

    You think my brother is fact checking ShitGPT when he asks it about taxes? Most of the time, he immediately believes the answer is 100% right. If it's something particularly important to him, he thinks he's smart and adds something like "Don't make stuff up. Don't lie. Cite your sources." And then that erases all doubt he had.

    My manager has recently shat out 2 VERY large code changes in our codebase. He basically just shat it out and said, "Please review to make sure it's right." You know how hard it is to verify something you didn't write? Nobody hit the weird edge cases while writing it. Nobody read the documentation on how to use this tool or library, so we don't really know how this library works.

    Then there's reviewing for tech debt. Nobody typed out the code, which made them realize this code was shit because it's super verbose. Nobody swapped out the implementation mid-way through because they realized there's a better way to do it.

    And I'm supposed to "review" a 1000+ line change? Realistically, not happening.

    Yes, the reviewer is supposed to catch stuff. But, previously the writer also had some responsibility and built trust over time. This person is very meticulous or this person tends to make lots of mistakes around X. I trust Alice tested the edge cases. Bob told me he was worried about X part of the code.

    But now the writer just lobbs some shit over the wall and the reviewer has to do all the work.

    Again, realistically, not happening bro. I got my own shit to work on. If someone can't be bothered to write something, then I can't be bothered to read it.

    LGTM, whatever. I don't care. Let it blow up.

  • Does anyone have any experience with Sync-in for online files?

    Jump

  • I don't want to sync files at all. I want files to only be on the server, accessible via web interface. Like Google Drive.

  • Does anyone have any experience with Sync-in for online files?

  • Yeah, that's what I was doing before when it was just me. But, my wife isn't gonna wanna mount an SSHFS. It needs to work like Google Drive, meaning web interface.

    I try to be as low tech as possible now. Most tech these days feels like it's trying to exploit me in every way it can.

  • Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops

    Jump

  • I've been wandering the laptop desert for a few years now. Lenovo, Dell, System76, Framework, StarLabs.

    I'm currently on a Dell Pro 13, but the keyboard really sucks and the hardware isn't fully Linux compatible.

    StarLabs had keyboard issues and terrible battery life.

    Framework seems like Linux was an after thought. Their HiDPI display isn't fully Linux compatible.

    I recently got my parents an X13 and everything just works. Camera, Bluetooth, graphics, display. All good.

    I prefer 13in screens, but I'll take the repairability of the T14 gen 7!

    I've been pronouncing this in Spanish the whole time, "joya" (ho-ya), which means jewel.
