- Comment on Gen Z are dipping into their retirements, skipping meals and selling their belongings just to get by, new reports find 2 days ago:
Which makes sense, data takes a while to compile and release. It just means that someone like myself, who’s in their late 20’s, isn’t part of the data set. We’re probably doing even worse than the millennials.
- Comment on Gen Z are dipping into their retirements, skipping meals and selling their belongings just to get by, new reports find 2 days ago:
Indeed, but the oldest Gen Z are now 29, it would be nice to have more recent data.

Good source, thanks! I wish it also showed Gen Z

I have some RRSPs, but it’s hard to contribute with the cost of rent and living.

I found it gives better results than Google, but I’ve been refining it for about a year.

You have my attention, please elaborate.

What does 11ty stand for, besides “eleventy”? I’m expecting something like a11y, where there are 11 characters in between.

Depends where in Canada, I never had a complaint about bad food in Montreal, but Winnipeg’s grocery stores left me wanting a bit.

That’s some nice SEO spam in the URL
- Comment on Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30 4 weeks ago:
Why yes, our bodies, and our brains, are designed to be as dense as possible to save on energy! This is why our brains’ gray matter has a lot of crevices so it can fold onto itself.
You can prevent piracy using a stronger keygen algorithm and online activation.
Valve sells product keys all the time, you don’t hear about them having a keygen problem. People just bypass the authentication altogether and simply torrent the software, which is something people still do with Windows 11.

What’s your point? Is it now somehow no longer doable to purchase product keys in store due to some higher decree?

- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 5 weeks ago:
Well, yes, but triage is work.
I don’t disagree that this could be handled better, but it’s his decision if he no longer feels like Linux is worth supporting.
I don’t know if he gets harassed for ignoring reports from downstream builds or what, but I know this was a problem for Bottles and OBS where users became very irate and rude in the bug reports because the downstream version was broken.

Then I don’t know why you’re here in the first place.
I suggest you delete your comments if you’re going to attack people ad hominem and refuse to have a conversation about it.
As you said, it’s a waste of your time, and a waste of everyone else’s time.

You’ve dodged my question. Please explain how what I’ve stated is wrong.

Oh, 100% troll, I’m just enjoying watching them dig their own hole and run out of responses.

No, I understand exactly what you’re saying, you’re stating that people doing free work owe you things, and I’m stating that the licence absolves them of all obligations you claim they have.
Besides, you have not stated on what basis the developer “owes” you support besides attacking them and other commenters in this thread on an ad hominem basis.
If you wanted guaranteed support, you could ask the original author if you can get a maintenance and support contract for their application, where the limits and costs of that support are outlined in the contract.

Bref, the developer doesn’t owe anyone anything beyond what is stated in the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license, the GitHub TOS and the local laws where the developer lives.

Oh yeah, this guy works for free and doesn’t like getting reports for things that are beyond his control, this guy is a huge baby, fuck him for working for free!
You’re not paying his salary, he doesn’t owe you shit. No liability and all that.
People like you are why open source developers quit. They don’t get paid for this, and when it’s no longer pleasant, they stop doing work.
- Comment on The Substack app sent a push notification promoting a Nazi newsletter to several users. 5 weeks ago:
404 media doesn’t make you create an account, they just send you a link to your email, but having to create a throwaway email every time so they can’t track what I read is a hassle I just don’t care enough for. I’ll either skip the article or use a proxy.
- Comment on The Substack app sent a push notification promoting a Nazi newsletter to several users. 5 weeks ago:
Teeeeeeeeeeechnically, the term is correct, the Nazi regime did offer socialist benefits… Only for those they considered “nationals”, hence NatSoc.
Socialism alone does not guarantee democracy nor freedom of speech, it is strictly a financial system where the means of production are owned by society. The prefix “national” then defines who that society is.

I want to run my own voice processing service, ideally. Something that runs off of my home assistant server, would be cool if it made use of a Coral AI or similar.

My understanding is the software is the problem, I don’t understand why though.

Is it easy to set up a smart speaker with Home Assistant? Last I heard, it was kind of a PITA.
