  • Welp.

    Jump

  • I'm from Finland. It's late winter now. It's not Smiling Season yet.

  • Vampire Survivors devs launch official wiki "free of ads, banners, and all of the junk that gets in your way"

    Jump

  • I've often been like "I don't know why people complain about Fandom, this is fine". And then I saw what the site looks like without uBlock. Sweet merciful heavens. Hey, there's some ads. Let's cram some ads in the ads. Some prime blank space? Shove some annoying video things in there. Autoplaying. See that navigation bar over there? Let's make it pointless. (If you come to the article via web search, surely you want to read about some completely random stuff in another game!)

    Fandom is garbage, Fextralife is garbage (and at this rate will probably be bought by Fandom one day). Indie wikis rule.

  • Android is now warning of Firefox sharing data

    Jump

  • Wait a second. You're expecting Google to not FUD? Ha ha ha oh wow. I mean I didn't actually expect them to do so, but yeah.

  • In moments like these, I feel like nature is trying to give me a message

  • Don't look at the details. Maybe look at the big picture.

  • A lot of people spend a lot of time zooming in pictures to find the meaning. Perhaps they should zoom out to see the big picture.

  • I'm really trans rn

  • Snails on skateboards are going to be slow no matter what.

    Turtles are actually surprisingly fast. They only pretend to be fast, as teenagers, while going everywhere on their skateboards. (They may even learn some sick tricks to impress bystanders.) In reality they just apply ✨determination✨ and get wherever they want to go, Eventually.

  • Trump calls Tesla boycott 'illegal' and says he's buying one to support Elon Musk

    Jump

  • Okay, guess I'm technically not boycotting Tesla. I just straight up can't afford a car, not in this economy. Nor do I care, because there's a bus stop just down the street. Not that I'm intimidated by Trump because I'm not American and he can't prosecute this shit even domestically.

  • uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome store

    Jump

  • I run ad blockers. As a security measure. Ad companies collect insane amount of data and do a bunch of shady stuff whenever they can get away with it.

    I want to support websites whenever I'm able, but the way ad companies operate just ain't it.

    If they clean up their act, maybe then I could stop using ad blockers, but it's been decades and I don't have high hopes.

    Also using ad blockers for performance and usability reasons. For example, I used to use a bunch of Fandom wikis and couldn't understand why people hated the UI. Then I saw how Fandom looks like without ad blockers and holy shit how can humans live like this

    Permanently Deleted

  • Botted comments and admins not in the helm.

    I'll admit, the thing that made me go from Kbin to Lemmy was seeing tons of spam on unmoderated places. (Not blaming the admin for not being able to manage the site in that particular case, they had more pressing issues.)

    Having a vowel movement

    Jump

  • Big American TTS

    (Microsoft Sam is a text-to-speech system with a considerable install base, yes)

  • Reminder that an alternative for Starlink is needed, exchange between Musk and the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs

    Jump

  • Nah, Elon thinks it's elegant. As in "Ha ha, I spoke like a big boy. I heard that badass line on TV once, on one of those shows I'm not supposed to watch. Bet that guy is now red on face and is so distraught he won't be able to eat broccoli on supper and his mom will yell at him. Owned."

    Is someone falling for this crap?

    Jump

  • Hello all! I'm Rose. Also a Fediverse chick. Unlike Nicole I don't spam people. Also I'm not on Friendica (not many people are) and you probably shouldn't add me as a friend on any Fedi platform because I'm a hella boring nerd.

  • What Fediverse services do you use?

    Jump

  • Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy and Bookwyrm. They all seem to cover most of my social media needs which (in all other cases beside Lemmy) can be described as shouting in the void and being happy if someone else is there too.

  • Spent half an hour on it. Felt good.

  • I never got such a survey. Guess they figured that bunch of people would cancel the subscription in the month before an announced price hike.

  • SQL is an Old Language of Ancient Power. You have to write the keywords in all caps.

    (Fortran is basically the same, but it's rarer. Lisp is too, but you don't need to capitalise everything, as the Ancient Power is contained in the parentheses.)

  • Like programming in bash

    Jump

  • There's always the old piece of wisdom from the Unix jungle: "If you write a complex shellscript, sooner or later you'll wish you wrote it in a real programming language."

    I wrote a huge PowerShell script over the past few years. I was like "Ooh, guess this is a resume item if anyone asks me if I know PowerShell." ...around the beginning of the year I rewrote the bloody thing in Python and I have zero regrets. It's no longer a Big Mush of Stuff That Does a Thing. It's got object orientation now. Design patterns. Things in independent units. Shit like that.

  • This fucking bot is still out there messaging

    Jump

  • You can add me on Friendica

    Well that's a huge red flag right there. Nobody uses Friendica.

  • I am from a different millenia

    Jump

  • "...and ripping that CD was annoying, because you then had an over long last track with the secret song, and you had to split the tracks manually and come up with tags on your own, or..."

    (Seriously, the only reason I listened rarely to the last song in Halo CE soundtrack was because of this.)

  • Author of Upcoming Elon Musk Biography Says ‘There Is No Evidence’ Billionaire Has Any ‘Intellectual Achievements’

    Jump

  • There's this website that listed bunch of stuff about Kim Dotcom and his ventures. (the list barely scratches the surface. But the important thing is that people thought he was hack decades ago.)

    When I visited the site last time, I was like "ohhhhh, they've found a picture of Kim wearing an SS helmet. I really didn't know what else I was expecting."

    Just browsing my photos from 10 years ago. I was amused when I browsed the university library computer science artificial intelligence shelf. ...I sometimes wish AI had stayed at this level.

    Pancake Tortoises have a fairly flat shell structure (hence the name). They like to go in rock crevices and enjoy the radiating heat. This buddy here seems to go "Awww yeah. Waffle iron mode, babyyy."

    People keep telling me that Nuon is probably the most obscure video game platform ever created. Oh, they've not heard how the greybeards entertain themselves.
