Then use Keepass, which is literally just a local app.

Chicken, probably.
- Comment on 3D Print Becomes Cast Iron Wrench Via Microwave 1 week ago:
I started watching the video on Youtube, but almost immediately switched to an older video from the same guy that went into more detail on the metal-melting part.
- Comment on 3D Print Becomes Cast Iron Wrench Via Microwave 1 week ago:
TL;DR: normal sand casting, using a microwave to heat up the metal inside an insulated silicon carbide crucible.
- Comment on FreeCAD 1.1 is out 1 week ago:
I’ve both used CAD software professionally and worked on CAD software as a developer, and I also find FreeCAD weirdly frustrating. It’s not the crashes; it’s something about the workflow.
- Comment on YSK: The US Government Assassinated MLK 1 week ago:
“Fun” fact: MLK championed civil rights for black people for damn near two decades. But once he pivoted to directly addressing the issue of class, he was killed within four months.
Public announcement of the Poor People’s Campaign: December 4, 1967
Assassination: March 29, 1968 - Comment on William Shatner And ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Actors React To News Of Series Ending 1 week ago:
More like “vice signaling.”

I mean, it ain’t exactly The Honeymooners or Dukes of Hazzard, is it? That’s the standard that we’re measuring “woke” against these days!

Aldi ain’t Wal-Mart.

- Get minimum wage checkout supervisor to honor displayed price

- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 1 week ago:
Star Trek X was Nemesis, but who’s counting?
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 1 week ago:
It was the first season (and only 10 episodes in, at that, because TV production is stupid these days).
Imagine if you could only judge, say, TNG on the first 10 episodes.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 1 week ago:
Looking at the downvotes, I don’t think anybody realized you meant “abandon Xitter,” not “abandon using their platform for the greater good.”
- Comment on Managed Switches & Openwrt AP Hardware Choices 1 week ago:
Admittedly I haven’t used Omada even though my gear supported it (before I flashed OpenWRT on it), but I don’t think it bears any resemblance to Ansible except in the most basic sense of being able to accomplish administrative tasks somehow.
What I was expecting was something that would provide a web dashboard showing all of my OpenWRT (and ideally, misc. other devices) at once, maybe with a nice diagram of the network topology and stuff like that.
- Comment on Managed Switches & Openwrt AP Hardware Choices 1 week ago:
Does there exist something more appropriate?
- Comment on Managed Switches & Openwrt AP Hardware Choices 1 week ago:
EDIT: I talked with a guy and totally forgot an important point, does reflashing the hardware prevent me from using features with the vendors i listed? I know companies can suck
If they’re software features and OpenWRT doesn’t implement them, yes. That’s not really the fault of the hardware manufacturer, though; that’s just a tradeoff you’ve chosen to make.
For example, I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to use Ubiquiti’s UniFi or TP-Link’s Omada software-defined networking to manage your OpenWRT-flashed device, but that’s just because OpenWRT hasn’t implemented it, not because installing it trips some kind of DRM fuse or whatever.
(I think OpenWISP might be the OpenWRT-compatible Free Software solution for that sort of thing, but I have yet to look into it myself so I’m not sure.)
Otherwise, I haven’t personally heard of any vendors intentionally sabotaging their hardware such that it disables itself when flashed with OpenWRT, but that’s not the same as an affirmative statement that it can’t ever happen.

Yep, those are the only ones I’ve bought since roughly 1999.

They’re almost certainly powering Palwntir’s shit, so yeah.
- Comment on Did we win? 2 weeks ago:
I somewhat hope that he did that as a demonstration of, hey, someone may do this because it’s hard for me to wrap my head around someone who uses a computer for a living, doing something like that.
Nope, he genuinely didn’t bother to understand the warning before typing it. He may use computers for a living, but that just means he has a lot of very ingrained Windows bad habits to un-learn.
It was some pretty big Internet drama when it happened and he’s still trying to defend himself from the near-universal lambasting he got for it. Although I included the link just in case, I’m kinda surprised you (being a person tech-savvy enough to be posting on Lemmy) didn’t already hear of it.
He’s actually making a second attempt to switch to Linux right now (four years later), initially picked Pop!_OS again, and had some more problems with it. 🤦 He has a second channel where he posts clips from his podcast, and he keeps whining about how the other people doing it with him are having little to no trouble and he’s just cursed, LOL.

👆Why are you booing him? He’s right!
I mean, good for Valve for finally making progress on 64-bit, but it really is kinda absurd that it’s taken this long.

Honestly, having to have the user type “I agree that I have verified the application i am trying to install is genuine and not a fraudulent app”
Ask Other Linus how well that sort of thing (“Yes, do as I say!”) works, LOL!
I agree with you that Google’s anti-competitive time delay BS is likely to be ineffective for its claimed purpose, but frankly, I don’t think any other reasonable strategies would be effective either. Honestly, there’s a limit to how much effort you should go through to save idiots from themselves – and how much annoyance you impose on everyone else in the process! – and I think we’ve already hit it.

The only thing I use my bank app for is to deposit checks. It can’t be done from the desktop because it needs the phone camera to take photos of the check.
- Comment on This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period 2 weeks ago:
Things like LineageOS are a workaround, not a solution.
The solution has to be legal, not technical. Companies have to be stopped from trying to fuck with users’ property rights in the first place!

I have never heard of any generative AI system capable of doing anything useful with 3D models. If you ever find one, PM me to let me know!

Everybody knew dot-coms in 2000 and houses in 2007 were bubbles, too. But they kept investing anyway, because they didn’t know when it would pop and FOMO is a helluva drug.
Also, something to keep in mind: awealthofcommonsense.com/…/worlds-worst-market-ti…

I gave it its 69^th^ upvote. Nice.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
We know, for example, that dust from the Sahara circulates the globe and brings nutrients to US soils.
Eh, the Amazon rainforest survived the African Humid Period, so it’s probably fine.
More to the point, even if this thing is big compared to the average solar farm, it’s still small compared to the scale of geoengineering. For example, enough solar panels to power the entire US would only cover a small fraction of the Chihuahuan Desert:

- Comment on Is it possible to have a usable domain without a VPS or a static IP address? 2 weeks ago:
I have a domain, but all I use it for so far is email (with an email provider, not my own mail server, hosted locally or otherwise). I’d still call that “usable,” though.
