They are power and space efficient. That’s fascinating enough.
- Comment on Woodworking as an escape from the absurdity of software 2 weeks ago:
To me it feels like people romanticising their hobbies/escape activities. If they started doing it as work soon enough they would have lots of pain points and stress. Sure you don’t have CVEs or libraries to update but the deadline for that chair or cabinet you were commissioned is coming and you can’t just get the damn thing right. At the same time you have another customer complaining that you need to check some other stuff you’ve made that isn’t working right … see where I’m going?
I know a lot of people in the trades and they have very similar or analogous pain points as me in software.
- Comment on LinkedIn is the latest company to get in on gaming 2 weeks ago:
Ah the marvels of infinite growth and capitalism. Are we still allowed to say enshitification here?
- Comment on Half Life 3 2 weeks ago:
I think HL3 will only happen to push some frontier in gaming, like they did with Alyx and VR. It’s the only safe move with that franchise and all the hype

Librewolf. If all else fails I’ll pop my old Emacs config and browse whichever websites I can there

That’s a very good way of me leaving Firefox behind…

- Comment on Linus Torvalds releases Linux 6.6 after running out of excuses for further work 6 months ago:
That’s because it doesn’t. He is the top level manager but there are many more engineers “under” him moving the pieces into place.
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 7 months ago:
Nop what you’ve been doing is paying a billion dollar company to keep making their, once free product, worse so people can pay to make the bad parts go away.
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 7 months ago:
To me, the ad tracking industry is completely out of control, and I’m not going to disable my ad blocker. So I signed up for YouTube Premium.
And you’re paying to keep it that way. You’re not paying for the added value YT Premium supposedly has, but to disable the enshitification they added on purpose for you to pay.
The only added value premium has is being able to switch off the screen and maintain YT playing. Still I’m not paying a 14$ subscription just for that. I pay that value for much more valuable software for my every day use with real added value.
- Comment on VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it 7 months ago:
Clearly they need to understand how… much data they can manipulate at once

Lots of beer

Hey man why the rudeness? We’re just trying to have a conversation …

You’re the one who mentioned 2013. My point in the original comment was about now. It wasn’t mentioned explicitly but I meant it

You know how much I paid, initially, for Jellyfin, et al, and had them working in an afternoon?
- Comment on Plex will be blocking access from at least VPS provider 8 months ago:
Exactly, open source is always worth the extra effort, if any, to get things working. Contribute!
- Comment on Why Linux is better for (most) developers! 8 months ago:
And its because it was made by devs for devs. Not corporate ghouls that just want to squeeze another penny or data from you.
