Definitely need to look into this for future, would make dev so much easier to just write for web and not have to deal with react native’s bullshit


Honestly doing it again I’d just write in xamarin or something not web orientated because as it turns out the web app is going to need to be separate anyway

I might look into capacitor but is that not basically just electron?


I do not code in C it was just a throwaway meme lol


I am spoiled by dotnet and rust error messages. They tell you exactly what the problem is, where it is, and in rust’s case sometimes even how to fix it

Then there’s C with “segmentation fault”


Yes I mean react native

Wouldn’t be bothering with it if I were just working with web


I like base JS and I like jQuery. Only reason I’m using React is for native cross platform mobile/web but I’m beginning to regret choosing it for that


Made the mistake of using react for a mobile app and my god why is it this convoluted, why are the error messages always along the lines of “something went wrong with networking 🤷”

Unfortunately I’m stuck with it now



At one of the companies I worked out we had a head dev like this, except he didn’t want to spend any time teaching the juniors so we just had to kinda figure it out from eachother


I’m not sure a view or opinion can be correct or incorrect though except by general consensus

Absolutely things being presented as facts that are just incorrect should be blown out of the water immediately but everyone’s entitled to their opinion whether it’s well founded or not imo, censoring that’s just gonna drive them into echo chambers where they’ll never get the opportunity for someone to change their mind


I’m still of the opinion all of these viewpoints should be heard out at least once even if you dismiss them immediately




It was going so well until it started talking about white privilege and the Holocaust…


You’ve gotta wonder what else you’d write though

Especially given the urgency guy’s probably not gonna sit there and ponder


Don’t you have to set the harpoon marks manually? And actually now that I say that isn’t it just a tui on marks?

Feel like I should leave this here incase anyone hasn’t seen it


I’ve been loving telescope and fzf with nvim, but never really got harpoon.

Isn’t it basically just a recents list? I find it easier normally to just type the first couple letters of the file name with fuzzy find


It’s good enough and everyone has it and knows it

I’m not about to even attempt to ask someone in a game if they’ve got matrix because the answer is going to be no


Honestly I would love to work on a codebase full of profanity, let me know I’m not alone in my anger towards an inanimate object

Also would help make it feel less corporate


Discord’s own Linux client is kinda ass and keeps breaking my build using old insecure electron versions/forcing you to update before you can use the app while not being up to date in my package manager

Gotta use a custom client anyway to keep my sanity intact


Given it’s all entirely self host able if you use a different client I’m not sure how they could be

Unless there’s some binary blobs hidden in the repo but you’d think someone would have pointed that out by now



Does the whole encryption/decryption thing still bother you if you self host?

I tried out the app, the value there is that it’s ready to go straight away, though I took it all down again because my messages being unencrypted on someone else’s server makes me uneasy. May end up self hosting it for that reason and not using anything closed source


It’s a shame, because in concept cloud hosting could well be cheaper given they get the economies of scale


Yeah that’s usually the expression they end up with by the end


Honestly I was told when I was younger it was often cheaper and easier to run things in the cloud, doesn’t really seem like that’s true anymore if it ever was


Or you can explain it to a SO until you realise what’s wrong yourself

A pet or rubber duck will do if you don’t have a SO handy


I find if I’m the only one on the internet having a problem unless it’s a very specific niche application I’m probably doing something fundamentally wrong in my approach and should try figure out how other people normally do it


Sounds like a complete end to privacy as we know it


So after all that it was just a mechanical turk situation

It did say the workers were labelling the videos, so presumably they were trying to train an AI


I’m not sure about on iOS, on android if you long press on any notification and go to disable it there are a bunch of toggleable notification categories


True, not a personal human action though. I pretty much always want to see messages from people, but most of the time don’t care about stream notifications


At least they normally let you selectively disable promotions



I used to do this but it ended up in me missing notifications I actually cared about

The best solution is as someone else mentioned, just mute apps that send obnoxious notifications when you see them

Different notification sounds for different kinds of notifications has been big as well, one for messages, a different one for twitch streams, and another for everything else that normally gets ignored



It’s probably more to do with the pre prompt, if you tell it to be consise ahead of time it takes it very seriously


At least then everyone would be thinking about it and using UTC, not writing their programs to rely on the timezone always being the same

It’s too easy a problem to ignore/overlook right now


Long rest prevented areas in BG3
What's everyone's thoughts on how baldur's gate handles areas you're not allowed to short rest? I get that it adds to the challenge to have to conserve resources but up until moonrise towers the game has let us long rest when and where we please My friend and I have been burning through spell slots like nobody's business because when we start to run low on health and short rests we just throw everything we have at finishing a fight thinking we're going to long rest afterwards, only to be realise we can't and now have to fight through the remaining areas with no spell slots Would be nice if the game warned you when you were entering an area you wouldn't be able to long rest so we'd know to be a bit more conservative with resource usage and I feel like this is going to be a pattern going forward Tl;Dr don't mind not being able to long rest in certain areas but would be nice to have a heads up

Screenshot is taken from the worst premade ever video WPE absolutely butchering the English language 2023 edition The game looks pretty cool but I don't recognise it and can't seem to find it with image search, does anyone recognise it?

What are the best customizable routers nowadays?
Was rather shocked to find BT hubs don't allow you to change DNS servers anymore and force you to use their own ones, so I can't properly setup adguard. What routers are people using now that are reliable and will let me control my own network configuration

Who else foresees environmental problems with this later down the line?
Microsoft are looking at putting datacenters under the ocean, which sounds like a really good idea to cool them but I can’t help but think a couple decades from now it’s going to start causing us problems

De-googled contactless payment?
I'm trying to move away from Google and other big tech corporations as much as I can without sacrificing practicality but it seems like the only way to make contactless payments is with stock android on a Google approved device. Is there any alternative out there that would allow me to make contactless payments without these conditions met? (For example, if I put grapheneos on my phone)
