- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 21 hours ago:
Kind of.
They’re not in your face. But they make sure their sponsors show up on the maps with custom pins
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 21 hours ago:
Yes Organic Maps and CoMaps (its open community fork) both support Car Play
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 21 hours ago:
Wanting to mention CoMaps and that it was forked from Organic Maps.
The projects aren’t very diverged yet so you can still migrate your pins with an easy export/import
- Comment on My AYN Thor 1 week ago:
What is the game UI you’re running in the top picture?
Or is it a different retroarch theme?
- Comment on I'm too stupid for this 1 week ago:
So… Like to find the optimal impact angle to send an object towards a target?
The largest eigenvector would be the most probable direction of the struck object after impact?
- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 1 week ago:
Funny you bring it up. When Mario Kart introduced the coins, I immediately thought of the Wumpa Fruits in even the first CTR.
I read it as Nintendo running out of ideas. But it seems the Switch 2 Mario Kart adding the cross country game mode is somewhat more novel than the coins.
- Comment on Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” 4 weeks ago:
Something sensitive like this really should be a PWA (and web app for iOS users)
- Comment on I finally caught it on tape! The stutter that will randomly happen once per day and I have no idea what's causing it 4 weeks ago:
Sometimes EAC can cause this.
I don’t know how but it’s possible there is a mismatch between your EAC version installed and the one the game expects causing stuttering when it logs the errors.
I experienced this with The Finals and the devs resolved with a patch that reconciled the EAC version.
- Comment on Entry-Level NAS recommendations? 4 weeks ago:
The Beelink mini nas is very similar in stature. It uses NVMe drives, it cannot saturate the NVMe bus but its plenty fast.
- Comment on Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine? 4 weeks ago:
Have you tried Guárana?
I find it tastes a bit like a mix of red bull and mountain dew. It’s a soda, but very close to energy drink taste
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 5 weeks ago:
I thought the opposite. That when you’re cold, and your body releases Norepinephrine, that it re-enforces your immune system.
Which makes sense to me from a personal experience. I like to run around in the snow in tshirt and shorts and embrace the cold. I very rarely catch colds and always thought it was genetics and not a product of environment
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 5 weeks ago:
Per number 3, sounds like it’s welcoming to counter culture
- Comment on Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs 5 weeks ago:
So right next to my achievements list I have a stupid chatbot that can take longer to less accurately tell me my achievements.
- Comment on Is there a self-hosted project that does base64 url decoding in a privacy respecting fashion? 1 month ago:
You may want to use
-nto skip the newline and the end.You may also want to single quote the text to negate expansion when doing the opposite and encoding the text.
echo -n ‘my text’ | base64 - Comment on Frustratingly bad at self hosting. Can someone help me access LLMs on my rig from my phone 1 month ago:
To eliminate another subscription I imagine.
- Comment on RomM (self-hosting emulation) releasing a significant update - 4.2 1 month ago:
Oh that’s awesome I didn’t know it ran the games locally in browser with wasm. Def will be spinning this up now
- Comment on Firefox Nightly Adds CoPilot AI Chatbot + New Tab Widgets 1 month ago:
Guess it’s time to make a copr for Cromite
- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened 1 month ago:
Are they still harvesting personal data from players?
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 1 month ago:
YouTube is my only subscription.
I use it for Music and Video. I definitely get my money’s worth, they’re streaming to me at least 8 hours a day.
If it’s not background music, it’s videos. I can’t even fathom how many hours of ads I have avoided.
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 1 month ago:
As someone with divorced parents this invalidates what I call a “family”.
- Comment on Trump says he plans unconstitutional executive order to mandate ID for voters 1 month ago:
I had no idea this was unconstitutional, because every Republican state I’ve lived in required ID to vote.
- Comment on PSP games that are enjoyable without the nostalgia-factor 1 month ago:
Loco Roco
Wipeout Pulse
Midnight Club Dub Edition
- Comment on Inspiring. Innovating. 1 month ago:
My question is, wouldn’t the power needed to run these negate the benefits they bring?
This is also ignoring the gross notion that these can make money so they’re more worthy than trees when considering solutions.
- Comment on Doubting Your Favorite Web Search Engine 2 months ago:
Ecosia and Qwant I read are partnering to make a discrete search index.
Although I don’t know the current status of the effort, it may not be Bing for much longer.
- Comment on U.S. Government Starts Pushing Economic Data Onto Blockchains as 'Proof of Concept' 2 months ago:
How about we do this for voting?
- Comment on Make it make sense 2 months ago:
It all starts with someone in the passing lane, not passing, and one or more pissed off people behind them :)
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 2 months ago:
Perks of not signing into Windows with a Microsoft account… Oh wait
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 2 months ago:
This feature doesn’t even work.
So many times I’ll save a word doc, attach it to outlook, and it’ll silently attach an older version of the word doc.
Word says its up to date, one drive says its up to date, but outlook still gets an old version.
It takes hours to resolve. Everything Microsoft wastes so much of my time.
- Comment on U.S. takes 10% stake in Intel as Trump flexes more power over big business 2 months ago:
Oh got it. It’s Trump attempting to take credit for Biden’s good legislation.
Now that checks out. Thanks!
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 2 months ago:
Honestly, the community should make such a tool.
Since the argument is that LLMs scraping content isn’t piracy, if we just “scrape” the songs with a LLM it’s protected use.
