- Comment on Google Fit APIs get shut down in 2025, might break fitness devices 4 days ago:
Well this one is odd only because for end users it’s kind of seamlessly moved to the Health Connect service. The issue here is the new thing has a shittier dev experience and less features.
This all stems from how internally they only reward new products and not features or maintenance on existing products. So entire teams just spin up copies of existing products instead of working on a V2 overhaul in-place

Cool. Let me just convince my landlord to let me do that. And my next landlord and my next landlord and my next landlord

I like this thread because two people finished a conversation with reasonable candor without shitting on eachother over a basic misunderstanding and doubling down after realizing they were on the same side but had already gone too far.
- Comment on 40-year-old delivers for DoorDash to help pay down her $100,000 student loan debt—on top of her full-time job 1 week ago:
Joe Biden wrote and voted to pass the very bill that makes student loans immune to bankruptcy as part of BAPCPA back in the 2005 when he was a senator.
Learn the voting and bill submission history of your politicians you utter fuckng moron

Yeah. There are two kinds of loan as part of the federal loan program. Subsidized and unsubsidized. You get granted a pool of loans from both kinds when you apply for aid. The unsubsidized loans accrue interest the whole time. The subsidized loans are equally horrifying mostly because the interest is accruing, it’s just being paid for by the taxpayers on your behalf. Neither public loan actually accrues no interest while you are in school
- Comment on 40-year-old delivers for DoorDash to help pay down her $100,000 student loan debt—on top of her full-time job 1 week ago:
It’s not the original loan amount. The trap in student loans is the initial deferment when they gain interest while you aren’t paying and taking classes for 4-6 years. One of my loans was 14k and when I graduated had more than doubled. By the time it was paid off in my 30s the total sum I had paid in to interest was over 100k. And I was paying on an accelerated cycle for the last 5 or so years to kill it faster.
I had discovered with one of my servicers that they were applying my overpayment only to interest as well so the principal would not go down and keep generating new interest. This is actually illegal now thankfully
- Comment on The Fallout TV show might have answered a decades-old question in the video games 3 weeks ago:
Unless wealth is just their means to feel in control. All the wealth in the world apparently can’t stop war from happening and someone else being able to nuke them means they have to face the reality that they are not in control of all things. Vault tec gives them the psychological out of not facing their own lack of control by telling them they get to drop the bomb and control the vaults. If they drop the bomb, they take control back from chaos.

Go watch Frieren and see what a good anime that uses women as actual characters looks like

- Comment on Broadcom-owned VMware kills the free version of ESXi virtualization software 2 months ago:
Lotta people here working in legacy not realizing you can run bare metal k8s with containers and never touch a proper vm again. That said, if you are in the cloud basically everything is a vm even when you are using k8s. Two of the big three cloud providers run on top of Xen and one uses hyper-v for all of their machine types
- Comment on Broadcom-owned VMware kills the free version of ESXi virtualization software 2 months ago:
Terraform is infrastructure as code executed via a compiled go binary and can manage vms you dumbass
- Comment on ICANN proposes creating .INTERNAL domain 3 months ago:
VPN is inherently not zero trust. You really should be moving to ZTN based tools
- Comment on ICANN proposes creating .INTERNAL domain 3 months ago:
Seconding the other comment, lots of orgs picked .lan and then over the last few years have moved things into the cloud and .lan has become a meaningless soup since half the shit isn’t even on local network. Now it just means “needs a vpn or ztn to talk to”
Luckily my last three orgs finally bought a second domain for private dns. It’s quickly becoming a pattern that myorg.com owns myorg.tech or whatever for private traffic. Domains are cheap as fuck compared to everything else a business spends money on, it’s really silly how many people are using hacks for this

Ghetto fork it. GitHub will nuke the forks done via the fork button with the initial DMCA
- Comment on Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some mechanistic bint lobbed a phaser at me, they'd put me away. 6 months ago:
Interestingly enough. Queen bees do not actually control most hive activity. Individual workers and gatherers communicate through dance and pheromone signals and the hive literally votes on what it will do. For example a scout will find a new flower patch and tell the rest of the hive and the hive will vote on how many more bees to send.
It would have been far more interesting for the collective to have a queen but for part of the plot to be the humans misunderstanding her purpose to the collective, kill her, and then have the collective be just fine and produce a new queen.
Then it would literally be bees

The body of the watch was also gold, not just the band.
- Comment on Roku lays off 300 workers and removes streaming content to save money 8 months ago:
This market is getting saturated fast. Apple TV, Fire TV both pair directly to at least one first class streaming service as they are developed by the same company. Chromecast is still hanging on. Plex offers streaming content now as part of Plex pass. Cable tv boxes can now also do native streaming to select services. Major TV brands are dropping the Roku OS to roll their own shitty android port.
I personally moved to the Apple TV because it’s the only one probably not selling my data and isn’t constantly griping at me with some kind of upsell like the Roku and Fire Tv
