It's sad that the for profit healthcare system incentivises leaving an entire town without critical healthcare. It is a failure on every level.

That sounds like magic, I'm not going to lie. I have to understand how this is possible.

You had me at tab groups. It is baffling that Firefox has refused to do anything sane about tab groups.

This is exactly why I switched from containers to nix flakes and from Vs code to neovim or Helix. The difference is night and day. It's so nice to have my editor open instantly and to be able to have multiple instances open at once. Th

these are the exact same arguments people make against something like UBI or really any public benefits. "starving people feel motivated to eat food, so they work to make money to buy food. therefore starving people is the correct th

Microsoft has some really perverse incentive structures. Side note, their forums are insane. Most of the "help" is "just run sfc /scannow and then re-install windows" they very clearly do not care to fix actual prob

it's all good until that thing that happens at American schools, happens... That is my one hang up here. It would be idealistic to believe that the Police would protect kids, but in reality there are far too many cases of them being gr

I do find it baffling the mythos that surrounds "talent" and "meritocracy" in the West. I subscribe to the idea that so-called "geniuses" are made and not born that way. Obviously there are factors into this, l

it also has a robust Lua scripting interface. I made a tool in Golang and Lua that allows Mpv to treat torrent files and magnet links as if they were http links. You can then stream a torrent directly. People also don't realize that mp

CNN just did a piece on private Israeli groups doing the exact same thing. It is pretty scary the shear scale of this. Literally any entity or group can spin up a ton of bots and use any AI service locally or otherwise, to attempt to sway p

you are being just as rude as the other person, if not more, buddy. There is a much better and constructive way to make this point. Also, the title says that she is "learning to code" so its not unreasonable to say that she probab

I don't understand this. Sideberry is literally 1:1 feature parity and had existed for 5 years. Whereas this is not the 'tab grouping' that they promised and have been talking about for 3 years. This is a massive disappointme

Sigh... No, Mozilla, this is not what we wanted. We already have 500 sidebar tab extensions. We wanted horizontal tab groupings. It's not that unreasonable. I've been following this issue for 3 years now and this is what they coug

I like the core constructs and I think it looks beautiful, but it quickly becomes a mess. I agree though otherwise.

Ive read the source code of apx (the package manager) and its basically just a distrobox wrapper. From what I understand, It creates a container for each distribution and packages are installed in that container.

Its a Nixos based Linux distribution where the Nix config and Nix flake is written for you and configured using a GUI. It attempts to bring the benefits of Nix to people who don't care to learn the insanity that the Nix language is (I

but in this case Genshin is heavily hindered by its gacha mechanics and its need to meter out content to keep people coming back. Some good examples of this are how the dialogue can be endless and pointless. You are often running from one p

Justfile is my favorite. Anything that requires complexity I just use Zig build. I hate make with a passion. I could see why people stick with it after learning it for decades, but for the rest of us it is a nightmare.

it is absolutely insane the lengths Windows users have go to complete basic tasks. This is one of the things that drove me away from Windows. I was learning to program and it was so frustrating. The Python PATH issue was one of the first I

Programs like zsh, bash, ksh, fish and most TUIs put the terminal into cooked mode so that they can manage the terminals behavior manually. In cooked mode, the terminal is not new line buffered and instead every character is read. The termi

I bought a secondhand Macbook M2 and I was genuinely shocked at how awful Finder is (no offense to this guy) it sort of reminds me of the Android file manager that hides directories and files and tells you that "you can't do that,
