But don’t you have to first wait minutes, then hours, then days etc. before you finally get to 10 years? That’s some dedixated toddler
- Comment on What prevents Linux from being installed on mobile devices? 1 week ago:
Nothing prevents you drom installing a linux os on an android phone, privided someone madw a rom for your device. It’s just not very useable due to proprietary drivers. Ubuntu touch exists for example, but on most phones you can’t even use the cellular antenna iirc
- Comment on Found: 280 Android apps that use OCR to steal cryptocurrency credentials 3 weeks ago:
There’s no indication that any of the apps were available through Google Play.
So it’s just users installing untrusted apps to their phone?
scour infected phones for text messages, contacts, and all stored images
They also can’t do that without the user explicitly giving the app permission to do those things, unless they found an exploit or something, but the article doesn’t say that.
Also, why would you have images with passwords in them on your phone anyway?
People really should know better nowadays than to do any of this shit. Every step here is preventable by the user just thinking about what they’re really doing.

They did credit Paradox, found the image here:

Which makes it even weirder, it’s not even ai generated.
- Comment on SponsorBlock (and DeArrow) - SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced extension to skip sponsor segments in YouTube videos; DeArrow is a crowdsourced extension to replace titles and thumbnails on YouTube video 3 weeks ago:
You can also hover over the title to see the full thing. But this also got annoying since they start playing the video when you hover, so sometimes when you take too long it’ll mark the video as played. I honestly hate that hover play feature, who actually wants to watch a video from the start in that tiny ass window? The thing where they’d show some stills from several points in the video was much better imo.

Ahh I didn’t realise this isn’t twitter, I thought musk must have some weird thing against tumblr or something :)

Possible Tumblr screenshot
What? Why does that need a special notice? Why is that relevant at all?

Oh yeah, totally forgot about that project! Hmm well might have to start over again then :)
- Comment on Day 43 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 4 weeks ago:
I also loved this game on the 3DS. I’ve recently been playing the N64 version as well, and I gotta say the 3DS version is so much better. I’m not sure what it is, but movement feels a lot less precise to me in the N64 version.
Also, I finally understand why everyone hates the water temple. The iron boots aren’t an item in this version, so you have to go to the equipment menu every time you want to put them on/take them off.
- Comment on YSK: It's possible to get search results from Google without the annoying 'AI' answers at the top 5 weeks ago:
Yes, you can. You just enter a url, and put the %s somewhere in the query params which firefox will replace with your query.
I just tested this with my own website, which definitely does not support any OpenSearch standard, and it works exactly like you’d imagine (except the page doesn’t exist of course).
- Comment on YSK: It's possible to get search results from Google without the annoying 'AI' answers at the top 5 weeks ago:
Why would you need an extension for that? You can add other search engines right in the settings of firefox.

- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 5 weeks ago:
Single-player console games being 30fps is not new by any stretch
Yeah I know, that’s why I never really got into console gaming unfortunately. As I said elsewhere, I genuinely have trouble making out objects while looking around in first-person games, if it’s running at 30fps.
- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 5 weeks ago:
Yeah but on PC you usually get graphics settings you can tune to whatever you like. I’d personally rather have a slightly worse looking game running at 60+fps, than a beautiful one at 30.
- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 5 weeks ago:
I’d say 60+fps is especially necessary for first-person games. I seriously have issues making out objects and other things when looking around first-person at 30fps.
- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 5 weeks ago:
The people that keep saying that should really just try to use a 144+hz monitor for a while. Surely they’ll be able to notice the difference as well.
- Comment on Patreon will have to use Apple's in-app purchase system or be removed from the App Store 1 month ago:
There’s also web push. You can send push notifications straight to someone’s browser, no need for a dedicated app anymore. Not sure if patreon has implemented this, but they could if they wanted to.
- Comment on Common low-calorie sweetener may be riskier for the heart than sugar, study suggests 1 month ago:
ngl if artificial sweeteners also turn out to be bad for you, i’ll just cut out the last bit of sugar-free sodas i still drink and switch to water. No way am I going to go back to sodas with sugar.
- Comment on Discussion about Ceramic Keycaps: CeraKey Ceramic Keycaps 1 month ago:
The product images do include an ALICE layout model, I guess they just used blank shift keys? hmm maybe i can use it
- Comment on Discussion about Ceramic Keycaps: CeraKey Ceramic Keycaps 1 month ago:
I haven’t used them, but wouldn’t those be way heavier than PBT keycaps? I’d imagine they would actually affect the actuation force, but I wonder if it’s enough to be noticeable.
They look pretty nice, but looks like they don’t include a split spacebar, so not for me unfortunately.
- Comment on Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way 1 month ago:
I’m actually using Photoprism on the same truenas system to view my photos, I just already had nextcloud for the rest of my files, so I’m using that to upload. They point to the same datasets, so they share the image data. I believe photoprism is pretty similar to immich, but i haven’t used immich myself.
- Comment on Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line 1 month ago:
So what’s the best android tv box nowadays? Still the Shield TV?
I have the latest chromecast with android tv (i think, who knows with these garbage model names), and it’s always been quite sluggish to use, and I can’t replace the home screen on it to one without ads since they locked down the bootloader.
So I’m looking for one that’s a bit snappier, and preferably with an unlockable bootloader, or at least the ability to replace the default launcher.

Couldn’t you, theoretically, create one massive QR code containing all that data? You’d need a massive camera sensor to get the resolution required to actually decode it though.
- Comment on Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way 2 months ago:
I think they’re both good for different use-cases. I use nextcloud myself on a truenas system. I sync things like my pictures to nextcloud, and delete them from my phone after I’ve sorted them into the correct folders.
This way my data isn’t clogging up my phone and other things, is still available from anywhere (as long as my home internet doesn’t go down), and it’s still safely stored on redundant storage.
This does take a bit more setting up than something like syncthing, though it wasn’t very difficult at all. Basically install the docker image, tell it where my data goes, and set up a new dns record if you want it publicly accessible. I personally run it through a zerotier network so I don’t have to do that.
- Comment on Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way 2 months ago:
I use Material Files (from f-droid) as my default file manager, which includes support for mounting FTP, SFTP, SMB, and webdav shares. It doesn’t handle the connection getting interrupted very well, so if that happens i have to restart the app. Other than that it’s been working great for my SMB share.
- Comment on Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way 2 months ago:
I’m pretty sure the average user doesn’t even know what a “server” really is, let alone know how to set up an FTP server.
