I often wonder why stuff like handbrake does not have an overlay ui, just a “drop video” field, then select “YouTube” “max quality” “Send via WhatsApp/signal” or something more logical. And then a button that says: “I’m a pro” that dr

Yeah, all green again. Btw, this was my first experience with a service having an issue, going to the relevant status page and seeing it indeed confirm that there is an issue. Nice.

Ok, but what is the alternative?

The new version of the app specifically adds off-line mode (I'm in the Test-flight group), which is nice atm, it just works, even though I can't access the webapp (ok now, 10 min later, I can). The new version has been solid! Only

It's the same everywhere. I think that at some point in your life you've seen enough error codes on machines around the house, enough windows 0x8048154 errors, printer errors and enough weirdness on websites that you need to get r

If I pay I expect not to see ads. If I would, I would not pay and stop the subscription.

I always loved poetry but then I’d always run into that bug where you can’t use repos with authentication. So I’d always go somewhere else eventually. Some time ago I found out it does work with authentication, but their “counter ascii anim

But, I was talking about contributing to a world with less ads… I feel like something is going wrong here.

I think you misunderstood. I'm saying The normalest thing is to offer value for value. Value for the gathered information, as money, or you let them influence you via ads. It is not normal to expect something for free. You do not have

If you are in the EU (or European economic area or something), you get another year. Not for free: You need to register an account, or pay ~31 eur.

I think this is sarcastic? I mean I pay on several websites to not see ads, so it (paying to remove ads) seems like the normalest thing. And it should be the normalest thing. The only weird thing here is that we pay a party that is not the

It looks like eventually any company will start squeezing customers for what they are worth. But only once the company is powerful enough. We don't call Google a monopoly, because there is Apple, but taken together they certainly behav

Nice, the basics again, very good to see. But then: I know what you’re thinking, I forgot the most important snippet of them all for writing HTML: <div id="root"></div> <script src="bundle.js">&lt

The value MS gains from milking to non technical people for all they’re worth outweighs the loss of the occasional tech savvy user. And sadly I think MS are still far from the tipping point and it will get worse and worse for some time to c

I didn’t read the book, but, I’d advise people not to go into mysticism, it has brought us very little compared to the scientific method, which has powered our industrial and information revolutions. Dive into the Mindscape podcast, investi

I feel like the next Voyager type vessel should include this shape made from gold or titanium or something. Also add an Einstein-tile. What more should we include? Perhaps that knot that has a none additive “unknot” from a recent Stand-up M

Hmmm, it has been years since I last tried it, perhaps it is time for another chance indeed. Thanx.

OTOH, when you buy any Bosch, IKEA, Hue, Aqara device, it says on the box: Hub required (and they do mean get our hub and place next to all other hubs. Even though Home Assistant will usually work fine-ok). So I see where he’s coming from,

Tried Joplin, it creates an unholy mess of files. I far prefer the clear format of Obsidian.

Given the scale of Google, and the nerdiness required to run Immich, I bet it's just an accident. Nevertheless, I'm very curious as to how senior Google staff looks at Immich, are they actually registering signals that people use

I’m a scientist. I haven’t read “the body keeps the score”. It sounds like pseudoscience. But, I do recognize the importance of models. Our brains are complex, lacking the capacity to comprehend everything, we make models. Models are incomp

They are easier to trick? If a trick is what I want, the LLM should do the trick. If I want a vulnerability, it should make a vulnerability. What’s bad about that?

Space is cold. There are just very little cold molecules to take over the energy from your hot molecules. Here on earth we are surrounded by many molecules, that are not so cold, but colder than us and together they can take a lot of our ex

I use NixOS and a lot of it is in a single file. I just saw some ansible coming by here, and although I have no experience with it, it looked a lot simpler than Nix (for someone from the old Linux world, like me… eventhough Nix is, looking

What would we become in such a universe? We would take a step back, it will become about survival again (I know it's like that on earth here and there), not about growing together, exploring. It's like Star Trek's mirror univ

FWIW, I absolutely agree. I just wanted to stress that the helping with the Boeing situation was something that, in a way, one could be a bit grateful for. But yeah, its not necessary.

Why does this sounds so... Entitled? NASA regresses so far that they are now unable to do anything by themselves... Now suddenly there is a new moon race and they start pointing to a public company that is not sticking to a schedule. A comp
