  it was a form from Google soliciting feedback on the thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google plans to begin verifying the identity of all developers who distribute apps on Android, even if it's outside the Play Store, starting September 2026⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lovely, thank you for this. I've left my feedback, and I hope many, many other people do as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Left to Right Programming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I'll agree that list comprehensions can be a bit annoying to write because your IDE can't help you until the basic loop is done, but you solve that by just doing [thing for thing in things] and then add whatever conditions and attr access/function calls you need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have any sources for the 10x memory thing? I've seen people who have made memory usage claims, but I haven't seen benchmarks demonstrating this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Debian is superior for server tasks. musl is designed to optimize for smaller binaries on disk. Memory is a secondary goal, and cpu time is a non-goal. musl isn't meant to be fast, it's meant to be small and easily embedded. Those are great things if you need to run in a network/disk constrained environment, but for a server? Why waste CPU cycles using a libc that is, by design, less time efficient?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it? I thought the thing that musl optimized for was disk usage, not memory usage or CPU time. It's been my experience that alpine containers are worse than their glibc counterparts because glibc is damn good. It's definitely faster in many cases. I think this is fixed now, but I remember when musl made the python interpreter run like 50-100x slower.

  The one where every LLM-generated shell script I read is another deep splinter in my fingernail quick that I have to rip out and destroy because it's a godfucked mess of bad practices that we can never ever ever ever EVER train out of an LLM at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember to dry your filament kids⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When the filament goes through the hotend, any moisture in the filament will boil and make the filament all bubbly and not extrude well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think a new GPL needs to be created to account for this. Like, "any generative system using this as an input which can ever replicate this code base (even in part), must be bound to this license." People could then run overfitting analysis to see if they ever get their copyleft code out of the model. If they do, then they have grounds to sue. I'm fine with an LLM being trained on my code, but I want the four freedoms to be preserved if it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, although using angle grinders can possibly destroy what's inside. UL does have much more stringent standards. To quote the Wikipedia article on safes:

  TL-15 - This is a combination-locked safe that offers limited protection against combinations of common mechanical and electrical tools. The safe will resist abuse for 15 minutes from tools such as hand tools, picking tools, mechanical or electric tools, grinding points, carbide drills and devices that apply pressure. While the UL 687 defines this as a "limited degree" of protection, that standard is used for commercial applications, and the TL-15 rating offers significantly better protection than many unrated safes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love LPL, but he tends to focus on mechanical bypasses. I feel pretty sure that the safes mentioned in this article are actually listed by UL as safes. UL, of course, fucked up with the electronic locks themselves by underwriting them, but I have much more confidence in UL's mechanical expertise. The common bypasses that LPL uses would not be present on one of these safes, and he'd likely consider them to be truly secure (this vuln nonwithstanding, of course).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT Is Still a Bullshit Machine⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Out of curiosity, do you feel that you would have been able to write that new function without an LLM in less time than you spent fighting GPT5?

  Idk, they're probably fine. There are SO many instances out there nowadays, and I'd guess most of them are fine.

  I've got a Prusa XL and this is love at first sight for me. My printer is direct drive, but the filament feed tubes are SO long to accommodate the bed size.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm archiving Picocrypt · Issue #134 · Picocrypt/Picocrypt⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ngl, I do wish it was still used. I remember being like, 4 years old and trying to write a "thank you" card to my grandmother. I spent what feel like an hour going through the alphabet, trying to find the letter that makes the "th" sound. Apparently my mom found me laying on the floor sobbing and repeating the alphabet, which is both funny and sad lol

  Many years have passed, but a tiny grain of resentment at the English language remains. The thorn would have prevented that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anywhere but lemmygrad or hexbear, really. lemmy.dbzer0.com, lemmy.world, lemmy.zip, or lemmy.blahaj.zone are all good ones. I'm quite partial to kbin.earth (although you'd need a different app), and there's also piefed instances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games just won its antitrust lawsuit against Google again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't like them because they took games that were perfectly functional on Linux and MacOS and made them not function anymore. I paid for Rocket League with the understanding that I'd be able to play it, and now I can't.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Funny how that works⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I'd be fine if property taxes were also tied to household income, with no exceptions being made for rentals. Like, raise my taxes and make my income bracket pay 100%, but reduce the property tax rate for households with lower incomes so they can stay in their homes. All taxes should be fair and progressive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Funny how that works⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Taxes bad amirite? I mean, I wish my local school districts would stop doing stupid things, but I actually like paying for kids to go to public school.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Comments are the primary form of interaction on link aggregation sites. Most mod actions are performed against comments, not posts. The other way makes more sense to me, but who would want to post and then be unable to respond?

  I feel that women should have an easily discovered place where they can talk about shit that is difficult to talk about online. Having the community show up in the All feed is the very best way to make it discoverable.

  Like, if it's that important, there could be a !WomensStuffOpen that mirrors the other community but is open to comments from men. That feels fair and inclusive without taking away from women having a space for themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fucking exactly. Like, I blocked the community because I almost posted there several times without realizing. I didn't want to make extra work for the mods there, so I hit the block button. That's it, that's all it takes. The community should be public so women can easily find it. Blocking a community isn't an inherently negative thing, you should block stuff that isn't relevant to you. If you're good at remembering that you shouldn't post there and like to read the posts, then don't block it.

  Would people be as upset if it was a community for gay men? I obviously can't know, but I don't think there'd be this much furor. Why is this so emotionally challenging for some people to accept? I can guess, but I won't do so here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hackers prove age verification systems on pornography sites can be bypassed in seconds⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm gonna start by saying that I absolutely hate the people responsible for systems like this.

  With that said, can we please not bring back Gamergate terminology? Call the Australian lady a TERF or an asshole or whatever, but seeing the word "feminazi" makes me feel like I'm back in 2016.

  God fuck our coffee. I finally got an espresso machine somewhat recently just so I could have lattes like the ones I had in Europe. A good latte should not need sugar! Espresso should be yummy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Gamers Nexus] The ASUS Dumpster Fire⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it was a very foolish thing to do now that I know more. I was still a bit of a dumb kid though, and you'd think that their instructions would include something to that effect. Still, I wasn't really upset at them for that. I was mad because I spent months trying to get any form of support and simply could not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Gamers Nexus] The ASUS Dumpster Fire⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I bricked an Asus laptop 15 years ago because their instructions on performing a BIOS update didn't include anything about what filesystem to use on the flash drive with the update file. I used NTFS (which was obviously a mistake in retrospect) and completely bricked the machine.

  I tried calling their support line 30 times and never once got to talk to a human. I eventually just gave up on that laptop and replaced it with a Mac. I've been intensely sceptical of Asus products ever since then.
