Maybe they prefer vibe engineering

I bought a router that had 5-10% package loss, it was basically trash, returned it of course.

I used to go for Xiaomi phones but I stopped because I had too many issues with the OS. The amount of times it would close an app almost as soon as it leaves the screen was too much, tried every setting ever to fix until I just starting doing 2FA with a floating/split screen.

8 years ago the OS was one of the best, 3 years ago it was one of the worst, not sure how it is now.

I absolutely vibe with mareep.

Yeah, that’s probably a me thing, I like starting programs from the terminal. With a decent command runner doing a ctrl+r, ff<enter> (variants ffw or ffs for different profiles) is usually faster than reaching for a mouse. It’s also faster than Meta, wait, "fire", wait again, <enter>.

I do get that most people don’t use the terminal, although it’s very nice, highly recommend.

I know I’m a terminal type but why not just use a bash alias?

I don’t recognise many, but there are a few that pop up regularly like PugJesus, Picard Maneuver and K O L O N A K I.

I personally use both a smart light bulb and a smart watch. The smart watch is to track my heart rate during running and light bulb for wake up and sleep routine for my 1 year old.

Smart switches can also turn on and off heaters and light bulbs, smart washing machine is very optional but timing it so that it completes when I finish work is nice, some people can time heavy electricity use for night time or peak solar to reduce cost.

None of these need to be smart but there are some benefits for some of them.

It’s pretty much the first folder I add on a fresh install, gotta keep that shit contained

Make the case for ad and tracker blockers as bandwidth saving and don’t leak data.

They sent money to DHH, creator of Ruby and gave some lip service to his Omarchy OS. They were defending it with some big tent statements which didn’t go super well with the ones that had a bad opinion of him. DHH has great replacement theory views which is concerning and blogs about it.

Their Arch based Hyprland stuff was overblown though since it was just one weird mod and didn’t reflect the project’s leadership opinions.

I’m going to say Sviðasulta með rófustöppu. You take sheep head and turn it into whatever this is and serve it with a mashed orange beetroot and it’s A+ category food.

For basic mechanics it’s really good to start with a text based tic tac toe.

It forces you to use for loops, read from input, parse, arrays, small amount of state, rendering said state and conditionals.

To go the extra mile try to make it look tidy. This can be done by using a class to represent a state and having single purpose functions.

Respect for the Enter the Gungeon run, it doesn’t sound crazy to me since I never became consistent with not getting hit on level 1 bosses. Also getting a medical tent in a run, buying some hearts and getting drops is enough to maintain the health often.

For me, distinguish similar letters such as 0, O, I, l, 1. Then I want ligature because I like them, then emojis should align vertically to the grid, high resolution for small font sizes, size difference between tall and not-tall characters, and it shouldn’t have narrow characters.

Last time when I was changing up the font I went to https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads and tried out a couple until I found one that I liked. I’m really picky about the symbol shapes, I most often just bail on a font because the @, % or & is ugly I might also bail if ` vs ’ is not distinct enough.

Some fonts have absolutely wild italics that are almost cursive which is a hard pass. Even though I only see it once every week maybe I’m just not up for it.

You can always hop on lemmy.ml and talk about politics if you want to disagree with someone.

Yeah, it sounds like a good idea, maybe it’ll be implemented as a VAT on LLMs. There’s also the thing that AI subscriptions are subsidised up to 90% currently so when the bubble pops workers become more competitive when you’re paying 2k USD per month instead of 200. Not to mention that LLMs themselves are subsidised by electrical grid upgrades and tax exemptions to attract data centers.

Pigouvian tax is not used enough IMO. LLMs are having a negative effect on the economy so the negative effect should be taxed highly and tax revenue redistributed. RIP for people in the USA where it just goes to military spending.

This is going into my bashrc as a mini cli. I’m pretty sure I’m going to want to run this every time I change jobs.

KDE.

It’s the only one I have used more than 10 years and loved the entire time. Everything else has been replaced, not loved or not used for 10 years.

Since there’s no lack of solutions here I’m going to add one more. If you manage to create bash to update the containers then you can have it run with a systemd service that’s easy to set up. It’s very easy to set up and it’ll work the same as running the command no your computer.
