I think the penultimate photo looks better than the final one that has the luminance and stuff balanced, but maybe that’s just me.
- Comment on Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden 2 weeks ago:
It’s on record that Gabe is very aware of Microsoft’s desktop dominance and ability to fuck up his gaming business. Valves push to Linux is strategic de-risking.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 3 weeks ago:
Simply not true. There is no person out there deciding every fry is too small. They just pick an exploit and send some bots after it. Every target is a good target because every target is a platform for more. It’s currency. The discrimination happens at the userbase level which is why jellyfin will always be safe. Kidding 😂

Symphonium is awesome. Still looking for a nice desktop alternative to Plexamp, which I can’t stand for its interface on desktop.

That social bond doesn’t scale and it is why have had to invent government, police, schools, hospitals, etc. The guy’s idea was right (imo), he just had the wrong scale.

- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 1 month ago:
I’m getting the feeling that most people wouldn’t hate AI so much if it wasn’t: 1. Built of the labor of let’s without fair compensation, and 2. Wasn’t a privacy nightmare. I think people would be okay with it even in spite of the energy usage because that’s something that can be optimized over time. But these other points are systemic societal issues that the current approach to AI entrenches.
- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 1 month ago:
Spice up your life outside of work. Move to a new home. Start a family. Ditch your family. Start a revolution. Sell your car. Give yourself some challenges, obstacles. You get the idea. SPICE. 🙂

It’s about how much time is spent between points of interest. The size doesn’t matter.
- Comment on Apple forgot to disable production source maps on the App Store web app 1 month ago:
No, this is food for exploit-searching AI. Private comments and tickets, etc is what they use to leverage targeted attacks.
- Comment on Norway’s mega wealth fund to reject Elon Musk’s $1 trillion Tesla pay package 1 month ago:
Because it’s an incentive to make money, not an incentive to be a good corporation making good products and services.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 1 month ago:
The IP isn’t even that important. They straight gave up that person’s phone number and identified them.

There’s nothing strange about not trying to boil the ocean. Let them cook.
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 1 month ago:
It was necessary. The tech is so expensive to run and develop that getting customers to actually use it and build demand was essential to the tech’s survival.
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 1 month ago:
Which of them help normies monetize their videos?
- Comment on Python Foundation rejects $1.5M grant with no-DEI strings 1 month ago:
It’s not even on principle. From a pure business perspective, giving a funder the right to claw back money you previously spent is insanity.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 1 month ago:
LibreOffice supports python, JavaScript, and beanshell, as well as LibreOffice basic. The latter is similar to VBA and some VB scripts can even run unmodified.

Most good Linux releases (distros) have a Live CD/usb boot option. Do try that out! It doesn’t mess with your existing setup and you can see how it feels.

Shut your mouth about VB… 😁

Hmm, I didn’t realize so many people were interested in Sam Altman committing suicide.
- Comment on Sora might have a 'pervert' problem on its hands 2 months ago:
This is really a pointless concern. Wait a couple of years until people can just make these videos privately without openai’s intervention.
- Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more. 2 months ago:
No one would make you take 9 months off if you lived in Canada, but you always have that option. You could also transfer some of your maternity leave to your partner if you were ready to go back to work earlier. Forward thinking countries recognize that flexibility is required for a healthy population and economy.

This is why there need to be translations with notes on the opposite page, to show the reader the depth of the translation.
- Comment on Taiwan refuses to move half of U.S.-bound chip production to American shores — trade discussion to be focused on Section 232 investigation for preferential deal on semiconductors 2 months ago:
I don’t think the foundries are the limiting factor. There’s a shit ton of engineering going into every step of the fab process and most of those experts are in Taiwan.
