Surely nothing bad will follow Nazis building trains.

100%, but this is also kind of hilarious after he literally compared himself to Neo because he’s so good at Diablo 4, before finally admitting months later that he paid to boost his account.

If only they had an asset in the US who could provide those.

Got an archive link or something? Can’t even read a full sentence on this garbage site before it asks you to install their app.

Does Vivaldi not just use the Chrome store for extensions? Also, aren’t they losing manifest V2 as soon as it’s dropped from Chromium in a few more months?

Yeah. Has not aged well.

Wow. I thought a couple of his old Linux Sucks talks were kind of funny, but never knew anything about him personally. Kind of sad to learn he’s an asshole.

He’s our newly appointed FBI Director.

The actual tweet:

“The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond,” Trump wrote. “The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!”

So more regressive nonsense to derail environmental protections and pose himself as a savior to people that can’t or won’t fact check.

Just trolling, based on their other replies.

They said they were and I don’t think they’d say something without meaning it.

That pic looks very much like the corner of a memory validation lab I worked in at one point. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if someone who’s really into server hardware had a home setup like that.

President Musk hasn’t paid the other 85% yet.

I couldn’t tell you when it started, but it’s definitely a thing now, which is why projects like noTunes exist

I’m using a new M3 MBP at work and it literally brought my compile time from 20+ minutes on a pretty beefy Windows machine down to about 6 minutes. Based on that alone, it’s hard to imagine using anything else for serious dev work at this point.

Having said that, there’s a lot of goofy Apple fuckery going on too. Multi-monitor support is limited to two displays, so if you want more than that you’re stuck with an expensive third-party dock and DisplayLink drivers, which cause color artifacting in high motion like you’d expect from a heavily compressed video, which leads to eye strain. Mouse support is terrible without a third party app to fix the goofy scroll wheel acceleration curve they’ve built in, and even buying first-party peripherals doesn’t solve it. I need a third party app just to prevent Mac OS from opening iTunes every time I connect a Bluetooth headset… So many little dumb things to deal with.

FFXI for me. It’s a lot better post Steam Deck, but last time I set it up on Linux (maybe a year ago) a lot of the visual mods that are registry-based weren’t working properly, the font rendering was awful, and certain addons and plugins just didn’t work (guildwork in particular since it launches a background exe, others related to showing/hiding certain UI elements.) It runs, but it’s far from comfortable. Might be good enough in a VM and I’ll probably try again next time I resubscribe.

Are hotels in the UK not equipped with toasters?

My TCL TV flashes a little ring light constantly if it doesn’t have an internet connection. The best part is the LED is part of the IR receiver, so if you cover it up your remote stops working. I’ve dimmed it as much as possible through the hidden service menus, but the option to remove it was apparently removed in a firmware update at some point.

Settings> Advanced > Load Gesture Typing Library

Easy enough to install, but despite using a closed-source lib from Google, it doesn’t seem to work nearly as well as GBoard. Feels like I have to go back and correct every other word, and it doesn’t seem to choose words contextually or learn from the ones I select.

It gave me the word “Ines” 3 times just now while trying to swipe “ones”. Trying to swipe “pretty” gave me Perry, prey, Peru, petty, piety, pottery, and pet before I gave up and typed it manually (or “toured it nakedly”.)

Back to GBoard for me I think. Unfortunately, I don’t see the benefit of a FOSS keyboard that is forced to use closed-source Google code anyway for an objectively worse experience if you rely on swiping. FlorisBoard says they’re working on their own implementation of “glide typing” that sounds promising, so I’ll be keeping an eye on that.

Too impatient to wait for the Japanese toilet to blow my freshly-bideted asshole dry, but polite enough to wipe up the questionably poopy water that drips from it when I stand up too soon.
