Yes totally agreed. I pay for streaming music and for Youtube because the costs make sense to me for what I get. I used to pay for Netflix but now that there's so many different streaming services I have returned to the high seas beca

Ah cool, well that's fine, I don't load DRM content on it anyways.

Yeah I flashed Crosspoint on it as soon as I got it.. Seeing the improvements it provided was partly what convinced me to buy the device. I really appreciate that the company that makes the device has embraced the community firmware scene

People say "Next.js is the new PHP" because it's the most popular and prominent tooling out there, and so by sheer number of available targets it's the one that comes up the most when things go wrong like this. But there

I have an XTEINK X4. It's quite small, but if that's ok with you, then it's a fantastic little reader.

Yeah this is my question. My Kindle has been in airplane mode since the day I bought it. As long as I can still keep loading books on it over USB, and it's just their DRM ecosystem that will stop working, that's fine with me. But

I suspect at least some of this comes from publisher pressure. An acquaintance works for one of the big global book publishers and his general sense from upper management is that they still hate having to sell digital books. It feels like

It depends on what you're doing. Proxmox gives you the flexibility to figure it out as you go. If you have a plan from the start and you know what you'll need and you're pretty confident it won't change, then sure. If y

I'm sorry I don't think automating your email and calendar is "changing your life significantly".. maybe that's just me. I'm not denying AI is a great productivity tool, it really is! But "changing the wo

You must sure live in a bubble.. Do you think ChatGPT has changed things for the majority of people who live on this planet? It has not.

Anecdotal: DRM actively discourages me from purchasing digital goods.

And you might spend more than $50,000 challenging it in court, because the billion dollar corporation you signed it with would rather spend the money against you than set a precedent everyone else could use against them in the future.

For what it's worth the error made sense enough to me that I figured I needed to upgrade. :-)

Make sure you're on version 11.10 or later?

This is what tripped me up. I added that config and then got this error: error: Failed to parse: `.config/uv/uv.toml` Caused by: TOML parse error at line 1, column 17 | 1 | exclude-newer = "7 days" |

It's literally explained in the tweet, in the repo and in this thread in many places.

Pi is the best choice for experts and power users, which is not most people. Claude Code is still the dominant (I didn't say best) agentic harness by a wide margin I think.

What kind of system would you propose (or do you envision) for applying visual styling to HTML markup in modern web pages today? You can keep it high level but your comment makes me think you have something in mind, and I'm honestly cu

Maybe today.. But my TV has been sitting on my stand for years, and it doesn't need upgrades. My Raspberry Pi pi-hole is a Pi 2b that has been running for over 5 years and it's totally fine. It has automatic security upgrades tu

I think that attitude is (very) slowly changing though and might not be the default forever. My elderly parents have asked me about "local backups" of their cloud stuff, their Facebook history etc.. If they're thinking about

This approach also accounts for the truism that "the customer doesn't know what they want until they don't see it in the final product".

I understood it just fine. You object to creations and creativity that do not pass your subjective quality bar and/or aren't produced in a way that is satisfactory to the people already behind the gate. It's the literal def

Wait, are you perhaps saying that... "it depends"? ;-) Every single reply in this thread is someone sharing their subjective anecdotal experience.. There are so many factors involved in how work pans out beyond planning. Even a

I never said Hollywood == Los Angeles. I meant Hollywood as the collection of all of the film/TV people and industry that are geographically located in that area. This was never about the city itself. Nor was it in comparison to, or co
