I'm also quite anti "body positivity" as it is usually espoused online, especially in relation to weight, which is by far the main focus of the movement. It feels quite self-destructive, you accept that your weight is unchang

Russia is leading the pack in banning VPNs, and they're, surprisingly, getting pretty good at it. They caught my naive attempts at trying to use Tailscale, WireGuard and OpenVPN immediately. People in government are laughing at the pop

Plasma is the desktop-mode interface for the Steam Deck SteamOS, which is the only way I use it. I'm usually a Gnome person, as I'm one of the people Gnome just "clicks" for, despite all its issues, but I've been re

Moft doesn't sound too out-of-place for the current start-up name landscape. I can already imagine "At Moft, we are building an AI-first data platform and agent marketplace at scale, because we know what businesses like yours need

It's not fully clear yet but they definitely gave up on the current Xbox strategy, after firing both the CEO and the next-in-line and replacing them with people previously working on integrating AI around the entire product line. Sure

I also wanted to add a story about my fiancé's Instagram account feed, which degenerated into this sort of stuff out of nowhere one day. He has an account about art, he curated his feed, reels, explore tab so that he can see content by

I also put "non-binary" somewhere on Instagram, and almost every single ad is clothing related, mostly alternative fashion. I'm guessing that's partially aimed at my interests but I almost never buy clothes online, espec

Agh I really wish these awesome community wikis would be easier to find when you don't know about them, they usually have such a cool trove of information. The one I love quite I love is the OSDev Forums Wiki, though that one is well k

It's interesting... Different LLM models seem to have a few sentence structures that they seem to vastly overprefer. GPT seems to love "It's not just X, it's Y", Claude loves "The key insight is..." and Ge

Hm, that YouTube video made me think a bit, sure if you put it all like that, it does feel like a lot of stuff to get right, but whenever I do it, it takes about 30 minutes to lock down the firewall, do some port-scans to verify, punch a VP

But I remember when Discord began, I was actually the person who got around 10~ people onboarded onto the platform back in 2015-2018, because I simply thought it was the best way to communicate with a group of people or single person, in mu

Grindr is about a lot of things but human connection is... not one of them. Except if you mean that kind of quite literal "connection".

No I kind of see this too, but the 80% is very much the more simple stuff. AI genuinely saves me some time, but I always notice that if I try to "finish" a relatively complex task that's a bit unique in some regards, when a b

As someone completely unaffected by both the protests and deportations, I still feel quite sad about the current situation. I feel like we should still have empathy, not only for the people who are completely clean legally, but also for the

Which is the reason why it's better to actually cryptographically sign the packages, and put a key in some trusted keystore, where it can actually be verified to belong to the real distributor, as well as proving that the key hasn&#x27

At least with regards your second point, Google, DuckDuckGo, all other search engines. I always have to add "golang" because otherwise it just fucks up. I have to say that googling for "C", is a lot more dire, and becaus

I feel very similarly, I always thought of software engineering as being my future career. I'm young, I just really got my foot into the industry in my early twenties. It feels like the thing I wanted to do died right when I was allowe

Definitely agree on your last point, "consumer" is by far the most passive of the terms, and wholly represents the current idea that companies can simply shovel out anything, because "consumers" will simply consume eithe

I mean I kind of get your frustration, but I don't think innovating the user interface is not really the goal of this project, the opposite actually, it's moreso trying to provide a well-known user interface to devices where that

I'm sorry if my use of words like "balance" implied that I want a balance between real violence against women and some people being mean to men, one of those is obviously a lot way WAY worse than the other and I did not want

That sounds awful and will send administrators on a wild goose chase throughout their stack to find the issue without many clues except this thing is failing at seemingly random times. (I myself would suspect something related to network co

It's an annoyingly double-edged issue, and one that I believe neither side of the political spectrum (speaking in very broad strokes here) has addressed well at all. Though I usually consider myself progressive (to an annoying degree t

Wait, I do my work on a 4K display, according to a calculator I have a PPI of 150, but I already find my 4K display completely overkill! Now, I spent an amount of my work life staring at a company-issued 27 inch 1080p display, and that was

Okay, it is a full on spyware virus though, not super sure why people would love Bonzi on their system. This is kind of a shitty compromise, the second you leave a tiny crack open in the security, maybe through root access, maybe some bette

How much would you consider a good amount? I can't really afford more than 20$ myself, but perhaps there's a better more monetarily-optimal workflow.

Partially related: I really dislike the vibe of Gas Town, both the post and the tool, I really hope this isn't what the future looks like. It just feels disappointing.

I noticed an interesting hybrid – you get an interactive ad, if you interact with it, complete the level, engage with the ad etc. you get the close button immediately, if you idle you have to wait ~30 seconds. Feels very deplorable to me.

Interesting, I had these issues around 2 years ago with my Nvidia GPU, making Wayland unusable (especially the honestly probably epilepsy-inducing flicker). After an Nvidia graphics driver release everything cleared up to be very usable (th

vi is also an editor, but sadly not the standard one, and since standard is king: ed it is.
