I mean yeah I know they’re better, I run lineage os, but it still is just another android distribution, not a real android alternative. I feel like the people who just want safer android are going to be confused by them being called “alternatives” and the people who want an alternative know that they aren’t really alternatives.

Hey, don’t be so negative, you can be used as a good example of what not to do
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Yeah, plus all the android alternatives are just different android distributions.
- Comment on How many active robots do you think exist today on this planeeet by your best estimate ? 2 weeks ago:
Well we know in the year 1240 the answer was 0 and in 1241 it was 0. So we know that the number of robots is increasing at a rate of zero per year. If we follow that trend to today, we get 0 (robots in 1240) + 786 (years since 1240) * 0 (robots per year) = 0 robots in 2026.
- Comment on Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch 2 weeks ago:
modern windows tries to trick you into not doing that. if you hold for a little bit it turns the screen off so you think it’s turned off when it really hasn’t, then if you hold a little longer it turns the screen back on and tells you to please stop holding the power button, then finally a little after that the computer actually turns off. why the hardware even makes that possible is beyond me
- Comment on Discord in discussions of going Public Trading, economics expert discusses how that might change things 3 weeks ago:
I use both matrix and discord regularly and matrix is nowhere near a viable alternative for discord, the way they work is just too different. The only real alternative I’ve been able to find is guilded but it’s no better than discord since it’s still completely centralized and closed source
- Comment on Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job? 1 month ago:
I mean I think anything you do that makes enough money to be worth it is just a job at that point right? Like you could start streaming on twitch or something, but once you start making money from it, it becomes a job.

I feel like mozilla could switch to making all their decisions by flipping a coin and do better than they’re doing in recent years
- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 1 month ago:
Console manufacturers all just need to switch to displayport to encourage tv manufacturers to do the same. No one’s going to not buy a ps6 or steam machine because they have to use a little dp-hdmi adapter, but they might be a little more likely to choose a tv that doesn’t need an adapter over one that does
- Comment on How One Uncaught Rust Exception Took Out Cloudflare 2 months ago:
It’s crazy that cloudflare of all people even had unwrap enabled. Whenever I use unwrap in some tiny little not important thing I always treat it as a temporary thing that I need to come back and fix before the software is actually ready for anyone to seriously use

You could make the world’s worst computer cluster, that could be fun. I think there are several open source tools for doing clustering

If it was starbucks it would be like cramplestiltskin size or something not medium

There’s also a medium version that’s heavier than that but lighter than the default UI html.duckduckgo.com

- Comment on Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows? 3 months ago:
I thought WSL1 was a compatibility layer and 2 was a VM and they were both still supported? Is WSL 1 gone now?
- Comment on Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows? 3 months ago:
She, but yeah. I don’t think it’s a good idea, but it is technically a way to run a small subset of macos software on windows without a VM, just using multiple compatibility layers instead
- Comment on Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows? 3 months ago:
There is a translation layer for running MacOS software on Linux called Darling. In theory you could run that in WSL. The only downside is it is in very early development and not really at all usable

Why specifically 22? Is this about a specific person?

I’m not aware of a modern browser that doesn’t render it by default. I meant a real browser as in a browser not a lemmy client

- Comment on Imagine there was a society in which blue eyed people are referred to with blee/bler pronouns, and green eyed people are referred to with glee/gler pronouns... 5 months ago:
Yeah it’s so weird when you think about how arbitrary separating pronouns by gender really is. I feel like it would make way more sense to have multiple ungendered ones that work similar to the way we have this and that to talk about two different inanimate objects
- Comment on Codeberg: army of AI crawlers are extremely slowing us; AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges. 5 months ago:
I think the best thing to do is to not block them when they’re detected but poison them instead. Feed them tons of text generated by tiny old language models, it’s harder to detect and also messes up their training and makes the models less reliable. Of course you would want to do that on a separate server so it doesn’t slow down real users, but you probably don’t need much power since the scrapers probably don’t really care about the speed
- Comment on Same pimple for a year 5 months ago:
And once you’ve worn it for a while you can just take it out and then be like “wow that must have been some weird infection, it left a hole clean through my face!” And then you have the perfect excuse for the piercing existing and can switch to using regular jewelry in it because like “oh well I guess I’d better put something in this to hide my horrible deformity”
