- Comment on Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service 1 week ago:
I feel like I’m in good company, I moved my stuff to my own forgejo instance about two month ago because finally I had some time to set one up. I wanted to do it for years because it was embarrysing to host open source code on a closed source platform ran by Microsoft. But my main kick in the but to really just do it was their CEO told his workers to embrace AI or get out: https://www.businessinsider.com/github-ceo-developers-embrace-ai-or-get-out-2025-8 I knew this is not the place to be anymore.
- Comment on Microsoft “Improved” Notepad. I Un-Improved It. - Dave's Garage 1 week ago:
I’ve been using TextEditor.app on OSX to quickly open it and jot down something during meetings, etc. until Apple put in cloud into it and you needed to first choose the name and the path of the file where you wanted to store it.
This is when I decided to write TextEd.app which would only do what the previous app did, open a new window with a textarea and only when you wanted to save it it would ask you for the path and name. I even removed the RDT functionality and it would be just plain text without anything. - Comment on why are they pushing kpop demon hunters so badly? Who makes money off this new group? 1 week ago:
It’s easy to make a movie sound dumb by attacking only the weak points and not acknowledging why it is very popular.
For Bladerunner for example:
Half the movie is just people wandering through neon fog acting like every sentence is the meaning of life. And yet somehow nobody ever explains anything.
Deckard is supposed to be this legendary hunter but spends most of the time getting tossed around by the very things he’s meant to “retire.”
The world looks incredible, yeah, but it’s basically style doing all the heavy lifting while the plot tiptoes behind hoping nobody asks questions.
And the big emotional moments? They land mostly because the soundtrack shoves them at you, not because the story bothered to earn them.
- Comment on why are they pushing kpop demon hunters so badly? Who makes money off this new group? 1 week ago:
It’s a good movie, I watched it with the kids, we all liked it. Children like it as much as they did Frozen back then.
It’s one of the very few original movies nowadays which doesn’t just reheat some old franchise, so I’m all for it to succeed and show that it’s worth to make new original movies.
- Comment on How many instances have you been orphaned from? 2 weeks ago:
Zero, because when I decide to join a fediverse network, first thing I do I set up a single user instance:
- https://toot.jeena.net
- https://tube.jeena.net
- https://piefed.jeena.net
- https://git.jeena.net (they are working on activity pub)

Yeah that’s what I’m doing but I played for the fast CPU and can’t make it the bottleneck ^^

Gehe, I wonder how well it would work ^^

I just had a look, 2nd of April I payed 67,000 KRW for one 16 GB stick, now the same one (XPG DDR5 PC5-48000 CL30 LANCER BLADE White), they only sell them in pairs, a pair costs 470,000 KRW in the same shop, so 235,000 KRW per 16 GB stick. That is a price increase of 250%, god damn.

Two browsers full of tabs but that is not a problem, but once I start compiling AOSP (which I sometimes want to do for work at home instead in the cloud because it’s easier and faster to debugg) then it eats up all the RAM imediatelly and I have to give it 40 more GB or swap and then this swapping is the bottleneck. Once that is running the computer can’t really do anything else, even the browser struggles.

This is very unfortunate, about a year ago I built my PC and only put in 32 GB of Ram, It was double I had on my laptop so I thought it should be enough for the beginning and I could buy more later.
Already after 2 months I realizes I can do so much more because of the fast CPU in parallel but suddenly the amount of RAM became the bottleneck. When I looked at the RAM prices it didn’t seem quite worth it and I waited. But that backfired because since then the prices never went down, only up.

I guess same as you get enough oxygen at home even if you don’t open the doors and windows at all.

- Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 3 weeks ago:
I’m on https://mxroute.com/ they are cheap and hands off. Sometimes that means you get yelled at in the beginning to RTFM because they don’t have the time to deal with each individual, just follow the manual and you never need their support.

I literary got 0 PGP encrypted emails since I started using email in 1998.

It’s not used for harassment because strong social norms discourage it. You would use face if you’d do it.

Here in South Korea every car has the phone number of the owner displayed through the windshield so you can always call them when they parked false or so.

When a bridge works like the discord and the Signal and WhatsApp ones it’s amazing not to need to log in to those services anymore just to see if someone wrote something to you.
Sadly most of the bridges are either broken like the Facebook one or straight out don’t work like she KakaoTalk and WeeChat ones because the services remove capabilities which before made it possible in a hacky way.

I run it on Ubuntu and installed it with apt about 7 years ago and had zero problems, it updates itself when I run apt upgrade, it turns itself off for a couple of seconds and then it’s back up.

One cool thing is that I had no idea that this happened until I just read it on their blog even though me, my friends and family use Matrix extensively.
But all my friends who are on Matrix host their own servers because it’s quite easy, and my family uses my own server, only my brother uses a matrix.org account, but he doesn’t write much.
This is decentralization working as it’s supposed too, when enough participants are federated and not centralized.
On Lemmy the lemmy.world and the piefed.social instances are similar to matrix.org and I think all of them, including mastodon.social should close new registrations. I mean the flagship instances have their place in the beginning, but once they become so big they should be locked. The teams behind them can open another instance if they want to keep growing, but they should be run on a separate infrastructure to prevent bringing them down at the same time.

- Comment on As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity 1 month ago:
I’m lucky enough that Linux is one of the half official OS which are allowed and half supported at work.
I’m even more lucky that IT isn’t tech savy enough to be able to do to the Linux installations what they do to Windows and Mac where they preinstalled some rootkits and don’t give you admin rights.
Therefore I’m a Linux enjoyer without involvement of IT. I need to fix all my problems myself and do security and backups myself, but that’s a price I’m more than willing to pay.

I’m so used to bad news nowadays that I was confused and was trying to find the catch in the article. But it seems there is none, just a good reasonable decision from what I understand?
Perhaps this should be reposted to uplifting News?

Everybody loses their memories all the time.
