I've seen reports of the fediverse getting a bump in users. End of the day you will almost never see news about it because it has no marketing budget, and offers no investment opportunity. Money talks. It remains imo the best social pl

Why is that suprising? There is no logical reasoning happening, it has no concept of right and wrong, let alone that it can force a specific percentage of wrongness.

the t480 has two batteries! one internal and one removable. The laptop using the `tlp` package and a WM like i3wm - which I prefer for functional reasons - discharges at around 5 watts when idle, and running heavy stuff brings it up to 17W

Highly recommend this: you can hit 50% to 70% discount from original price, plus contribute to reducing e-waste. I've been using a third-hand T480 for many (5? 7? Can't even remember anymore) years now, and it's probably the

If nothing else, the tree ul-list css class is good enough that it should be part of the HTML spec (as in: a <tree> tag) imo. What an incredibly useful thing that is.

TIL about worktrees, a feature I've needed in the past but didn't expect to even exist.

Impressive writeup. The deterministic aspect is not super popular anymore, I guess, but this entire post does make me wonder how the networking layer compares to a slightly more modern multiplayer game.

That is entirely dependent on the type of steroidal nosespray. There are types that don't cause dependence or stuffy nose when not used.

I disagree, because I believe it's quite difficult to write in that uncanny valley of particularly creepy texts, without showing any matching creepy imagery.

Yes, but the reality is that EC2 is optimized for a target audience who wants to customize the deployment beyond a linux box with a public IP. But iirc following the "Launch Instance" wizard and choosing defaults for everything, a

You're probably right, and battery life varies a bit day-to-day. I haven't done a formal test to double check my statements above, more just a feeling. I've had the phone for a while and the battery has gone through many cycl

Not great. With suspend enabled and if I don't use it much, about 8 hours to 0%. If I leave it on (i.e. disable suspend), about 3 hours. I'm honestly almost always near a charger, which I also realize is just a cope.

yes, daily driving for 2 years now. * it's good. works well, apps reflow nicely, can run a lot of stuff simultaneously without memory issues. There is a nasty kernel bug relating to suspend and the wwan modem, but that's not pureo

This is, imo, not a google-problem, but a non-FLOSS problem.

When you don't have enough background knowledge to even verify whether the answer is plausible. Or when you don't know what question to ask. It may very well be that newer AIs and models even manage to get that right more often, t

I was referencing (very implictely) the current seated PM saying that The Netherlands "doesn't have to be the best kid in class", with the EU being the class, and then proceeding by aiming for being the worst.

He calls that "Focus on vertical slices".

Absolutely not gonna happen: the current Dutch govt. ideologically refuses to be the best (often even "good") at anything.

I spent some time thinking about this when the GPTs started becoming useful, and I'm glad to see my semi-prediction come true (related toot: https://fosstodon.org/@samuelnorbury/109799880269029379 ). Specifically:

It's pretty niche, but as a Linux phone user I can see the appeal: with a device like this I can totally get rid of a standalone laptop. For situations where you can easily connect 3 peripherals to create a desktop experience, indeed,

I gave this a couple of tries but my vim muscle memory is actively hurting me the longer I try... I would love if this had a - at least somewhat closer to - vim-mode, because all the rest, LSP, startup speed, etc, is excellent.

I was (am?) an alcoholic though I was probably on the lighter side of the spectrum, similar in amounts to what you describe. It took me a long time to recognize I had a problem, even with many binge drinking events turning into soured weeke

A lot of the tweet mirrors what is described in more detail, and better sources, by Alina Chan in Viral, Search for the Origin of Covid-19. In my opinion a book worth reading, as it doesn't try too hard to point a finger but raises eno

I think you misinterpreted that. Their gripe wasn't with a textual representation of code, but the fact that we interact with it as text, not in any form. And that fundamentally limits the power of the tools we use to interact with it,

Yes, you're right that "it can't even stand near in terms of scope", but the original comment did not argue that, the original comment gave an opinion about the usability (actually "to setup/manage", so mo

My suggestion would be a refurbished Thinkpad X230 and install a nice stable Linux distro (Linux Mint with XFCE for instance). It's open and repairable enough to scratch that itch, and the specific flavour of Linux gives stability but

You're right that the parent used "disgusting", and there too it was inflammatory. With regards to the pricing, your comment said "pay a subscription fee", which implies all tiers of Tailscale are paid, which they a
