Not on lemmy?

Because it’s a Mbin UI customization.

This seems like a brilliant feature to roll out as they’re getting investigated by the DOJ for being a monopoly.

Do they really?

They made a lot of claims about their military capabilities. However their war with Ukraine has shown those to largely be lies propped up to hide that their oligarchs have emezzled the money.

I’m starting to wonder how nuclear capable they actually are these days.

I hate my grass. It needs to suffer, get over exposed to the sun, and never watered.

Can’t wait to replace it with something not grass next year.

Until then, next time I need to cut it, I’m going to use a lawn mower blade supplied by the Chuck-e-Cheese kitchen to do the worst hack job ever.

I just wish GitHub wasn’t part of MS anymore.

I also don’t want Gitlab owned by another megacorp.

Something funded by the government but ran by a public org would be ideal.

It’s not just the data transfer. It’s also number of connections and the combined load. Scaling theese kind of things can be a nightmare for games doing an auth workflow on launch day and that’s largely just text connections over REST.

Musk was an idiot and fired everybody that could have helped prevent/minimize the impact.

Co-pilot is amazing and terrible at the same time.

When it’s suggesting the exact line of code I expect to write, amazing. When it can build the permissions I need for a service account for a TF module I’ve written, amazing

However, it will suggest poorly formed, un-optimized code all too often.

That said, knowing when to use/not use/modify the suggested code has greatly improved my productivity and consistency.

You’re complaining about a chin on an anthropomorphic cat woman that only has 2 breast’s instead of 6 to 8…

I’m not the kind who give a fuck about what other people usually do unless it directly affect me but…

I can’t believe people buy cheap trash that would be sold on Temu.

But here we are, people buy cheap ass trash off Temu. If China started picking through the trash we shipped them and sold it back to us on a site like Temu, something tells me people would still buy it.

In the last 6 months:

• One Drive reinstalled and turned back on on my personal & work computer multiple times.
• AI Co-pilot added to my machine and enabled “so you can start using it now!” with an obtrusive pinned shortcut on my start bar, to both of the same machines but at different time intervals. Uninstalling is virtually impossible and requires registry mods to 'remove" it. Not even a powers he’ll command can remove it.

I don’t want, or need, this add-on garbage.

MS PowerToys has a Search feature that works like Mac Finder called PowerToys Run… And it works as you’d expect it. I’ve largely started using that over the standard windows search, and the difference is hitting win + space (default: alt + space) instead of win before typing my search.

Do one of the following:

1. Tell your mother you’re not comfortable hosting that type of content as a non-believer.
2. Lie and hand back the propaganda movies and say you couldn’t rip them to some unknown rip protecting they use and there’s not enough resources online to figure it out.
3. Host the content and let your mother liver her life and don’t say anything.

I’d personally use option 1, but you do you.

Dumb terminals were extremely prevelant throughout the 80s and into the early-mid 90s. Most people just didn’t know that they were “dumb terminals” and either just thought they were early desktop computers or just heard them referred to as a “terminal”. That same library didn’t update their dumb terminals to actual computers until the mid 90s, but they did however remove the light pen in favor of a keyboard at some point well before then.

Ooof. I remeber using light pens in the 80s at a dumb terminal at my local library to find books. It was painful…

Memories of pixel sniping just came flooding in.

Fuck you Shorsey!

Years ago Firefox had a massive memory leak that would wind up crashing FX randomly or just crushing your system resources. The bug persisted for years. and I swirched to Chrome to get away from that poor experience. A few years back, a random community contributer, that was also fed up, dug in and fixed several issues responsible for the leaks. I remeber thinking that I should give FX a go again, but didn’t until relatively recently.

I switched on my personal devices (need to use chrome for gsuite integrations at work).

On desktop, it’s great and I’m loving it. And kicking myself for not switching back sooner after the massive-years-long-memory-leak was finally fixed a few years back

On mobile, it’s mostly great. The privacy focus, ad block support, and plug-in support is a plus. But I realllly want the tab groups that mobile Chrome introduced a while back. That had such a great mobile UX that I’ve found myself still loading up chrome now and then when I find myself wanting that UX. I looked to see if there were plugins that could make that possible, but was disappointed to see none and let down that it seems impossible with the current tab implementation.

What I’d really love to see more of is tech co-ops and unions.

With the current wave of corporate tech layoffs, I’m seriously surprised I’m not seeing more movement on the tech unions. Not so surprised I’m not seeing many co-ops since that business model is rarely used, but really should be invested into by more smaller tech shops. Additionally, unless you’re an AI startup or some other buzz-tech startup trying to grift the trend wave, the investor money has mostly dried up outside of a few people that have actual knowledge in the space and understand that there needs to be more diversity in the tech space or else innovation stifles.
