I lived through the time when every other website was a malware farm because of that POS platform.

I don’t think there is a single other piece of software that inspire me so much hate as wordpress so I’m really rooting for a complete implosion of anything WP related and that Mullenweg end up forced to sell his body for food in Pattaya.

Ah enjoy your single thread. I’ll be there writing writing kick ass code in rust and wondering about important stuff like… err… who owns that fucking variable…

Back when I lived in Dubai, around 06, you’d go to some well known parking spots and some Indians guy would come to your car with a bunch of burned DVD in giant binders with all of the latest release, classics, complete series…

That was useful because internet was pretty shit and expensive. If I remember I was paying €120 a month for a theoretical 2Mb.

And there was even a “special” binder for that famous vin diesel movie. I guess he was very popular because it was very large binder that lots of people asked to see every week. It’s weird to me because pitch black was clearly his best and the only one worth rewatching but, every single week, people really seems excited to buy a new copy of xXx.

If an event chance is too high the cost of insurance increase to a point where it stops making sense.

If every house in an area is 100% guaranteed to get at least one flood event over a 5 years period, that means that every 5 years the insurer need to get in enough money to rebuild all houses, so the cost of insurance will be more than 1/5th of value of a house per year (plus operating cost, profit, and so on). There’s no other way, it’s just maths.

Ok, the actuarial math is more complex but it boils down to getting enough cash in to pay for claims and pay the operating cost.

At a that point people need to realize that if the risk is too high they need to accept it, plan to rebuild every 5 years on their dime, or move.

Unfortunately people suck at understanding risk.

Same with my mbp 2019. Failed on me earlier this year, every works fine except a $0.10 flex cable that they decided to solder inside the panel so it can’t be changed.

Someone did a dark souls no hit run, level 0, weapon level 0, any%. Anything is possible.

Honestly it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. For the period in which it was released it was graphically meh, the combat was shit, the exploration was meh minus with copy pasta generic boring cave, enemies and boring ass loot, the NPC were dumb as rocks, the questing was about being the dog in a game of fetch, the RPGing was on rail, the storyline was… Wait there was storyline? Oh yeah, you’re the one, go kill a dragon for some reason. Eh, sure whatev’ and the writing was… Well… Nothing to write about. :D

And of course, if was full of bugs and glitches and unfinishable quest that borks your save as one can expect from Bethesda.

I want to congratulate streaming services. They got me off torrenting for a decade but multiplication, price hike and general enshitification has gotten me to install an *arr stack. My only media subscription now is $5 a month for a VPN.

So congrats guys, you’ve become the new cable and we’ve come full circle 👍.

I also started to use AE, I feel a bit queasy about it for no good reason, but for some stuff AE is much cheaper and I don’t see the point of giving 30% to a middle man selling Chinese stuff they got of Alibaba on Amazon.

What I discovered is that they have warehouse in Europe so even though it’s not next day shipping, most stuff take no longer than a week sometime 3 days. I do remember the time when everything took a month or more.

Their app, though… Designed by a fucking lunatic, and the amount of scammy shit in there is astounding. Like products showing for $3 but when checking the product you realize the $3 is for an accessory and the product shown in the picture cost 20 times that. Most products have 3 or 4 variants which can be completely different items. There are literally no way to easily know what you’re buying without carefully trying to decipher broken English and voluntary confusing description.

Probably because once you start a nuclear reactor you can’t kill the project and discard it on a whim.

But that’s also why you don’t know the commands in the first place, if you used them you would remember them. It’s self sustaining ignorance ;)

Ps: I kid, there a lot of stuff I don’t care to remember the cli for and I happily use GUI.

PPS: docker logs -f container_name ;)

the money people should come up with ideas

I’m sure « Financial Market Simulator 3000 » could be fun but … meh… :)

Can’t wait for people to stop confusing " “ and «.

Tried browsh ?

Millions of people smoke. That doesn’t make it a smart life choice.

The argument “lots of people do it” is probably one of the worst possible to justify anything.

What I’ve learned is that using distro packages for dev always bites me in the ass at some point. Absolutely need v4.0.1 of something but your distro only has v4.0.0 ? Congrats you’ve entered upgrade dependency hell.

The best dev distro should be just be a kernel and sh. ;)

Air is good. Fixed port too so that’s not something you have to deal with more than once.

Lack of imagination.

Mods can still dump 10k trash messages in a sub making it unusable. (Or smart messages in the case of most subreddit who are trash anyway).

Set-up automoderator with rules reventing anyone below 5 billions karma to participate.

Ban everyone.

I’m sure there are a lot of other options.

I thought it was a typo for “house”.

Apple intelligence is their own project, with their own models. They bought a company specialized in AI at the edge (or on device). All the “AI” that will interact with user’s data is Apple’s.

Still waiting to see what the chat-gpt integration is exactly, but the more I read about the more it seems it just the usual writing assistant that we will soon find in every text and image editor and the hint that they will offer Gemini or other model as well really mean they haven’t tied any real features to it.
