- Comment on What is the best looking retro console or PC? 1 day ago:
I’d say PSP is, but Vita isn’t.
- Comment on Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it - News Cafe 3 weeks ago:
That said, I’ll take what you said on faith, because I think you’re spot on with everything else.
I mean, it’s not a secret that governments everywhere run really outdated software (think things like Windows 7 and older) because “it works”, so it really shouldn’t be too surprising.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 3 weeks ago:
Yep, just like serverless computing that doesn’t use servers, or how games benefit heavily from the blockchain and companies are always hiring blockchain devs.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 3 weeks ago:
Nope, people in IT know that the cloud is just someone else’s computer lol
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 3 weeks ago:
They sent thoughts and prayers.
5 days of PSN for free.
lol
- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 3 weeks ago:
Active user numbers is probably less than 1 million, but still, 30 million accounts created is quite likely pretty good.
- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 3 weeks ago:
I feel like the reason the reason why it’s taking off so much is because it’s not federated.
It’s like people hear the term federation and they get afraid. I know it’s not that simple but still.
In other words, people don’t know what they actually need.
- Comment on Dell kills the XPS brand 1 month ago:
Well that sucks. I haven’t bought an XPS since the Dell XPS 15z like over a decade ago, but still, the idea that I could buy an XPS Developer Edition laptop and have it be Linux compatible without having to think about it was nice. Now I’m limited to ThinkPads and System76 plus whatever other compatible Clevos there are or maybe a Framework, which I guess is fine since I do own multiple ThinkPads.
Still, really weird decision.
- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 1 month ago:
I would agree with you about the frequency illusion effect IF it weren’t something very specific and niche.
It is literally a thing that happens.
- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 1 month ago:
I’ve literally seen advertisements for products that I was talking about but explicitly did not search for on any device.
It’s literally a thing that happens.
- Comment on LegalEagle Suing PayPal's Honey 1 month ago:
True, that’s a good point, they likely try to make as much money as possible in as many different ways.
- Comment on LegalEagle Suing PayPal's Honey 1 month ago:
I thought they made it from selling user data.
- Comment on Bluesky Social surpasses 19 million users as more celebrities leave X 3 months ago:
I think a lot of the future of social media is going to be ease of use.
The issue (and strength) with Lemmy is there’s multiple instances. You’re not gonna be able to explain it to non-technical people, even as an experienced programmer myself I sometimes find myself getting confused by Lemmy. People don’t want to learn, they just want to use something that works.
Then again, KBin only had the one instance pretty much I think, and yet that died out anyway. So I think part of it is people just want to go where everyone else is, and that did end up being Lemmy and not KBin (although the maintainer of KBin also refused outside contributions which helped seal its fate lol)
- Comment on We are a lot more alike than we are different 3 months ago:
This is true, but some of us are actually very different. That’s not always a bad thing, either.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 3 months ago:
Technically yes, you’d have to find an exploit for your TV that allows for installing your own OS.
It’s not super feasible but it’s technically possible.
- Comment on There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation 3 months ago:
Partial returners seems like a good name for it.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 3 months ago:
Yes, something like that would work. The stock OS would still be on the TV but as long as you don’t connect the TV to WiFi it should be fine.
- Comment on What good thing just happened in your life? 3 months ago:
Congrats! That sounds like actually meaningful work.
- Comment on What good thing just happened in your life? 3 months ago:
That’s awesome news, congrats!
- Comment on What good thing just happened in your life? 3 months ago:
Wow, 2 interviews in 11 months is rough. Last year it took me 5 months, I’d say around 20-30 interviews, and 6 years of experience as a dev.
- Comment on When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female? 3 months ago:
I think they call it “female-presenting”, so if it looks like female to them, then they ban it.
Instagram is stupid anyway.
- Comment on Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezes 3 months ago:
I’m pretty sure they laid off a lot of their QA team before and didn’t replace them since then.
- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 3 months ago:
YouTube/Google and hiding data from the end-user, name a better duo.
- Comment on Matrix 2.0 Is Here! 3 months ago:
UX is very difficult, unfortunately, especially for open-source projects where the contributors are usually programmers and not so much UX/product managers.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 3 months ago:
I think I’ve probably only ever been blacklisted once in my entire career, and it’s because I looked up the reviews of a company and they had some very concerning stuff so I just ghosted them completely and never answered their calls.
In my defense, they took a while to reply to my application lol
Agreed though, eventually they will forget, it just needs enough time, and maybe you’d not even want to work there.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 4 months ago:
Blacklists are heavily overrated and exaggerated, I’d say there’s no chance you’re on a blacklist. Hell, if you interview with them 3 years later, it’s entirely possible they have no clue who you are and end up hiring you - I’ve had literally that exact scenario happen.
The only way you’d end up on a blacklist is if you accidentally step on the owners dog or something like that.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 4 months ago:
I mean, interviews have always been hell for me (often with multiple rounds of leetcode) so there’s nothing new there for me lol
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 4 months ago:
That’s about right. I’ve been using LLMs to automate a lot of cruft work from my dev job daily, it’s like having a knowledgeable intern who sometimes impresses you with their knowledge but need a lot of guidance.
- Comment on Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it 4 months ago:
I didn’t other than for testing, in fact I had to research and figure out ways to bypass ad blockers, to prevent social icons from being blocked etc. I even wrote that company a brand new admin website to replace their old one, they liked it so much that they laid me off a few weeks later even though they were already underpaying me because they wanted someone cheaper to maintain it. I found a 30% higher paying job a few months later and been there since. lol
- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 4 months ago:
Well yeah, that’s why some people stick in toxic jobs unfortunately.
