Honestly, software development can be so demoralizing at times.




Someone’s about to lose their preferential access


I’m in no rush to play Alan Wake 2, if Control 2 goes to Ebin Aids Store I’ll be in no rush to play it either.




They literally rushed the current gen out to get ahead of the raytracing fad when it was still nascent, and now Nvidia doesn’t give two shits about it to go play with Gen AI in traffic. This is the first time the industry was in a stare with PC, and they blinked first.

I still don’t see what Raytracing has done for gaming besides marginally better reflections at a greater cost to the consumer. We’ve solved all our photo realism and lighting problems with PBR.







You don’t need to tape archive it, it’s one thing



I already use pihole, but with cloudflared as the upstream. What benefits does unbound offer besides improved security?


1.1.1.1/cloudflared responds crazy fast compared to anything else i’ve used. I really just wanted off Google (and before them OpenDNS). That’s about it.


I mean, I used to think Google Public DNS was great until I switched to 1.1.1.1…


Jellyfin, Ampache, Plex are your best bets.


Ukrainians led the first front at “liberating” the John Deeres, so they can be turned right around to haul tanks.




You know what I think is funny? The NFL doesn’t have any footage of Super Bowl 1, the only known tape of the game is held by a private collector, but he can’t watch it due to the NFL copyright. So its sitting in an Iron Mountain facility in the Poconos. And its deteriorating.



If the build doesn’t fit, you must…rerun the test suite locally



I like Tailwind. It makes me not write CSS or any preprocessor DSL. It’s nice.



PHP is crazy. While you are learning Laravel or Drupal you are learning the deep seated desire to shoot yourself over the lack of consistent use of type hinting, regardless of consent. :skull:


Don’t ever come to me saying “finally I am free from types” very few things make me angry. Rejecting types is one of them.

Also its let foo and const foo depending on how you plan to use the variable…


Yeah all of them are converging on WebComponent so really its all interchangable and eventually, WebComponent will replace the need for them.

Kinda like how we slowly made all of jQuery part of ECMAScript 5. Now I know what you’re thinking: kingthrillgore, if ES5 has all the functionality, why do we still see a big chunk of CPU time lost when jQuery is loaded in the webpack? And to that I would reply…yes, yes we do! 😂😭


You eventually would run out of Rust developers



Piracy was the only way people could play the greatest video games ever made for a long time: Robotron 2084 and System Shock 2.


I let me VPN lapse a day and my ISP reported 11 takedowns. They warned me (because they don’t want to lose a customer). Blocklists aren’t good enough anymore.


You lost me the second I saw crypto shit.



I have no doubt he will get his blasted pay raise, but it went from being a “surefire bet” to a “bet” in the past few weeks. Collapses usually start slow and then they pick up speed


I think this can be both a benefit and a risk, since Mastodon is still what it is and won’t change because of a board. Biz could provide Eugen a lot of insight, but by the same risk, Eugen may want out and turn Masto profitable.
