4am,

So when are we gonna start rooting smart TVs?

4am,

Yo, the Shield has that video DLSS they do? I have an older smart TV and the backlights are starting to dim in some zones; might be time to buy a Shield so I don’t have to worry about networking my next TV…

4am,

Gulf War 2 was “Operation Iraqi Freedom”. It sounded even more emotion-inducing than the operation names of the first Gulf war because it was even less justified.

4am,

Oh what a great way to further entrench a bad habbit! Hang on I need to remedy some refactored code with rm -rf * which Kitty made safe if I’m in a directory with my project files 🙄

4am,

Running a long command and didn’t ctrl-D it…

4am,

In my experience, there are plenty of cyclists out there (and I’m sure it’s not the majority, but enough for me to notice) who are “traffic” when it suits them, and also “pedestrians” when it suits them.

Mostly, bike messengers in Boston are dicks. 😅

4am,

Nintendo is going to want a console they can keep standardized for a while without hitting hardware limits early. It’s one of the only major flaws of the Switch, and while it’s not entirely their fault, they know the type of direction devs want to move in. IMHO they will have listened in this regard.

I don’t expect it will run “on par with PS5” as some rumors have suggested, though.

4am,

Oh sorry I forgot Canada was on Mars

Am I okay without a VPN on public networks if I use HTTPS?

I keep hearing on VPN ads that you have to use a VPN to not have your login information stolen. So far I have been using Cloudflare WARP to be safe enough. However, if I am using an HTTPS website, do I really need a VPN or WARP? Will an attacker on the same network as me be able to access passwords transmitted over HTTPS?

4am,

If all you use is a web browser and all the sites you visit are HTTPS only

Remote or hybrid workers, would you rather work a 4 day week on site, or WFH completely for 5 days a week, for the same pay?

I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you...

4am,

I can go to the store or get some cleaning done on my lunch break, and I don’t have to spend time driving to do it. Fuck traffic.

KOSA sponsor appears to suggest bipartisan bill will censor transgender content online (US focused) (www.nbcnews.com)

In a video recently published by the conservative group Family Policy Alliance, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said “protecting minor children from the transgender in this culture” should be among the top priorities of conservative lawmakers…...

Literal brain worms run this country

Pick only one

4am,

FYI for anyone unaware: blocking users is a core Lemmy feature and blocking with an app should block inside Lemmy itself; meaning if you switch apps or log in from the web, your block list remains intact.

Instance blocking is not a core Lemmy feature (yet) and so if it’s available in your app, be aware that your app is what does the blocking. Meaning if you switch apps or log in from the web that block won’t be there.

4am,

I moved instances recently and have been too lazy to migrate by subscriptions, so I’ve just been browsing on All with Top 6-Hour sort.

The number of bot accounts that just spam post from RSS feeds every 15-30 minutes or so and get zero engagement are infuriating. No one interacts with it! Just give it up!

“There is also a discussion over on Hacker News” well tell hacker news that the news we want to discuss is how to mitigate spam from shitty bots!

4am,

Imagine the website being famous for its niche information becomes the place with “only bad information on it”

God it’s almost like he did this shit on purpose.

4am,

I hate to sound callous

No, you fucking revel in it. Why the fuck else would you feel the need to post this?

First you replace them with your straw man (“rich tech bros”) and then burn it down (“tech bros just deserve what they get”)

Well, stay in your basement you smug piece of shit. Mommy will have tendies ready soon.

4am,

Gentlemen, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us ‘take a monkey, place him into the chair and he is able to use the computer.’ Thirty years later, Sebastian told us ‘I had to start my computer like an F1 car, it’s very complicated.’ And Nico Rosberg said that during the compile – I don’t remember what compile – he pressed the wrong button on the keyboard. Question for you both: is Linux today too complicated with twenty and more buttons on the keyboard , are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the development? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with Torvalds?

4am,

This person shouldn’t be believed, without proof. There has been no public announcement, or even rumors I’ve seen, about what SoC could be used.

4am,

Totally off the rails with this one 😇

Fat Picard

4am,

The reality is that time in office is used to determine seniority on committees. Both parties are “propping up the ancients” in a grotesque game of chicken.

4am,

Can’t you see the missile contrail on that video the person from the village took? We all know it was shot down…

4am,

“Give us free labor or buy something, will ya?”

Actually dipshit, that’s not how it works.

4am,

I’m actually migrating away from Node-Red in HomeAssistant.

Don’t get me wrong i love Node Red, but HomeAssistant’s automations are now capable enough to do about 90% of what I need around the house.

Now, if you’re automating like a large growroom and you have hundreds of lights and sprinkler valves to automate against temp and soil sensors…

The Spotify Car Thing cost $100, but I can't use it anymore. (lemmy.ml)

EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn’t work with anything. It’s mildly infuriating because today, I can’t still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday....

4am,

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted - enshittification as a viable consumer business model was pretty much proven in the auto space.

Just like they want to charge you to use the heated seats you’re paying the gas to lug around anyway

4am, (edited )

This article is an ad for the VPN service setup done by the company who wrote it. They mention it several times in the article.

That’s why they are pushing VPN and self-hosted entrance guards; they want to sell you one.

4am,

Some places do. Whole Foods comes to mind; and I think those big plastic Target carts do too, IIRC

4am,

Most of the bots on Lemmy so far are just link-dumping from Reddit and RSS feeds. It ruins All and it looks like a lot of it is starting to go to community farming. I saw one yesterday where the bot was using multiple accounts and posting shortened links to survey sites across a bunch of Astro-turfed communities.

Oh, and the article-summarized bot is here, too.

4am,

Worst tech fail of all time:

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m not using a blocker. Why am I seeing this message? You’re likely seeing this message because an app or extension on your computer is blocking ads. The app or extension may be a “privacy” or “malware” blocker, or a VPN.

I disabled my blocker. Why am I still seeing this message? It’s common to have two or more adblocking extensions running at the same time. See the question above.

What’s the Matter with the smart home? (www.theverge.com)

The article discusses expectations for smart home announcements at the upcoming IFA tech show in Berlin. While companies may unveil new smart speakers, cameras and robot vacuums, the smart home remains fragmented as the Matter interoperability standard has yet to fully deliver on integrating devices. The author argues the...

If they’re SmartThings then they can probably be controlled with a Z-wave dongle and HomeAssistant

4am,

Hahahahaha let’s gooooo

4am,

Damn, baiting the response aren’t they

I’m a loner, Dottie. A rebel…

4am,

Even easier: just post the plain mugshot with the caption

tfw no pooping for 3 days

4am,

Ugh, stop self-actualizing what you perceive to be someone else’s “kink”, Carlos.

Being gay or trans ain’t about the bedroom, it’s about everything. It’s not a kink. Love is love.

Also there is no god, grow the fuck up.

4am,

As far as game mechanics, no mods that change gameplay in any meaningful way (including quality-of-life mods) is vanilla.

In terms of tech support, an unmodified base install is vanilla. (This is important because if you are looking for help with a crash for example, knowing you have OptiFine or something is very relevant.)

Gambling sites are already taking bets on who will replace Charles Martinet as the voice of Mario (gonintendo.com)

Bovada, an online betting site, is already taking bets for who people think will be revealed as the voice of Mario. While we honestly have no idea who’s taking the reigns, Bovada has quite a ludicrous list of choices to pick from:...

4am,

That’s a stupid bet because people at Nintendo already know, since he wasn’t involved with Wonder.

4am,

Sad there is only one Spike’s left

Flash, Java (if they were open source and standardized) was better concept than most of today's web frameworks

At least there was a distinction between web of documents (WWW) and shipped apps with custom canvas. Rendering apps with web’s DOM is stupid. It makes websites a mess and relies on everyone using the same monoculture of browsers (like we now have Chromium, WebKit and Gecko, all nearly identical)....

4am,

Now THAT is an unpopular opinion.

Google is trying to lock down the web with WEI, and they might get away with it since most browsers are Chromium.

We need more browser engines, not fewer. There are standards, there should be NO differences. Google is doing what Microsoft did with internet explorer and their waving around their big dick of a monopoly over the user base to create breaking changes that push competition out.

Fuck Google and fuck Chrome.

4am,

You can install Proton (the game compatibility layer) on desktop Linux now, can’t you?

4am,

He survived!

4am,

It’s so you’ll have to buy the other one when you discover this

4am,

Snaps seemed like such a time-saver until I tried installing some and they just didn’t work at all, or needed some workarounds and janky weird solutions to even function.

Specifically I’m talking about microk8s. What a god-awful snap, I never got it working and it’s completely broken out of the box. Ugh, I’m eyeballing a move to Debian for my headless servers too.

4am,

Yeah you know those slow motion videos of the water droplet that bounces up from the surface tension?

Well, that. At scale.

4am,

Slouching at the PC gets me every time :(

4am,

Facebook as taught them that they can be lazy and reduce their effort to remain in contact with a like or emoji reaction.

Ironically, I upvoted your comment.

4am,

What about elevensies?
