irasponsible,

In some places Messenger is the default communications platform, more so than SMS or WhatsApp or iMessage or whathaveyou.

Do we live in a computer simulation like in The Matrix? Proposed new law of physics backs up the idea (phys.org)

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing our reality are simply algorithms. The experiences we have are generated by the computational processes of an immensely advanced...

“my law…” “my study…”

yeah, i think the author wants a law named after them. the first half of the article is also… junk?

irasponsible,

Yeah, that’s my #1 reason to not use it. I’ve got a long list of reasons to dislike OneNote, but that’s the big one.

irasponsible,

without ads.

only if you have a very strict definition of Ad

irasponsible,

“promotions” telling me to play a certain game on stream in discord (and get some cosmetic item for it) are ads for that game. I don’t have a screenshot of it on hand, unfortunately.

irasponsible,

They’ve also done it with Halo and Fortnite that I’ve seen.

Current PC is too bad for Cities Skylines 2. Can anyone judge the PCPartPicker list I've put together?

This is based off the “Great tier” AMD build, but I’m waffling a bit on the price. I don’t really know a whole lot about PC specs, but I read this is supposed to be a good long-lasting build based on the DDR5 and something newer in the CPU or Video card. That being said, I’ve only really ever build mid-tier and while I...

irasponsible,

If you’re using Windows, then get PowerToys, it has FancyZones for customisable window snapping. The closest thing I’ve found on Linux is gTile.

irasponsible,

I do have experience using it, and it’s not worth looking at BigBlueButton.

Bots? OH MY (imgflip.com)

On Beehaw there are a few tldr bots from other instances. I present Beehaws own summarizing bot developed by yours truly. Based on feedback from moderators and community leaders, I don’t just want to let this loose on the entire site. Might cause confusion and spam for a community instead of being useful. If you do like what...

irasponsible,

It’s now at the point where there are two or three “summariser” bots under a post. They don’t seem to be adding anything, and we certainly don’t need multiple. Are they really useful?

irasponsible,

that’s a lot more money for a smaller screen, though. 32" is a big monitor sitting in front of a desk, but a small TV if you’re on a couch.

irasponsible,

A 120hz or 144hz (reasonably common) monitor could do 24FPS with no issues, as that’s either every 5th or every 6th frame exactly.

irasponsible,

Still possible, but why would that be useful to anyone?

irasponsible,

A good article, a lot of those advantages I wasn’t aware of! I think DisplayPort unfairly got a bad rap as “oh, I have to buy another cable now” when it was new, but it’s obviously the better choice now. Although I still hate DisplayPort’s latching, makes it so hard to unplug cables in tight spaces. I’d rather old-style screws than the latch on all the DP cables I’ve used.

irasponsible,

They took it over after Disney cancelled it and closed the studio that was making it.

irasponsible,

Among other intriguing items on the agenda for the division are plans to adapt video games from Annapurna Interactive, the gaming branch of the indie studio

I wonder what else they could adapt? I don’t think Outer Wilds would ever work as a movie, and that’s the first Annapurna-published title I can think of.

    irasponsible,

    Depending on the use case something like Obsidian, free commercial software but not telemetry-filled and bloated, might be worth using.

    irasponsible,

    Assuming you have a spare slot (and your laptop is designed in a way to make that swap easy)

    irasponsible,

    Is there any market research at all indicating that customers want 6"+ displays?

    Unfortunately, yes. People who buy smaller phones are the people who buy a new phone less often, and small phones tend to sell worse than the big models (see S10e, iPhone 12(?) Mini) so don’t get renewed. Would be nice if they did.

    irasponsible,

    It’s a genuinely good security feature, but wrecks custom roms as a side effect (which I’m sure samsung doesn’t mind)

    irasponsible,

    That would make some things so much easier, imagine using python string formatting instead of excel CONCAT and ‘&’… but it’s running on the cloud, so going to be slow and fundamentally useless.

    irasponsible,

    Forgive me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that something entirely different? This is python in a cell of a spreadsheet, which could be really good, but what you linked seems to be for macros, same as excel’s VBA

    irasponsible,

    Python in a spreadsheet would be so helpful, abstracting it out to macros less so. Better than making them in VBA I’m sure, but still not the same thing.

    I’m very basic, more thinking about stuff like using Python f-strings and string formatting vs excels formatting.

    irasponsible,

    I haven’t seen any of this in Firefox?

    Meta discontinues Messenger Lite for Android, it will be unavailable after Sep 18. Users need to install regular Messenger app instead (beehaw.org)

    I have not found any news article on this on a whim. Because my friends and family, I need to use Facebook Messenger, and Messenger Lite was a OK client - lightweight, no unnecessary features, etc., compared to the regular Messenger app....

    irasponsible,

    Yeah, there’s no real alternative here. Use messenger or Don’t talk to people.

    irasponsible,

    Yhe family plan is the price of 3 “unlimited” subscriptions, if you don’t need unlimited then Mail Plus is far more reasonable at AU$140/2yrs, for one person though.

    I do wish they had a “Mail Plus Family” for up to 3 people, would be a good middle ground to get my family to switch.

    USB-C confirmed for the iPhone 15 in new leaked images - Macworld (www.macworld.com)

    We’ve known that the iPhone is switching to USB-C for a while now, but there was always a possibility that Apple would stick with Lightning for one more year. Based on the latest leaked images, however, Apple is all-in on USB-C for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models, with USB-C parts for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, and...

    irasponsible,

    They wanted to software-limit non-MFI usb cables, not sure if the EU will stop them in time.

    France’s browser-based website blocking proposal sets a disastrous precedent for the open internet (blog.mozilla.org)

    In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability. Article 6 (para II and III) of the SREN Bill would force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list. Such a move...

    irasponsible,

    Wouldn’t it end up implemented somewhere inside Chromium?

    irasponsible,

    “attention tokens,” wow that sounds bad in and of itself

    irasponsible,

    These laws exist in Australia already, Facebook and Google claimed they’d pull out of the country and of course they just came to an agreement with almost all news companies and life moved on.

    irasponsible,

    I looked into it, but EGPUs are still not a great option. All of the enclosures seemed to have some major flaw, and performance is consistently low.

    irasponsible,

    In the back of it, it seems to be a series of Matrix bridges github.com/beeper

    irasponsible,

    Beeper is Matrix in a trenchcoat, judging by their Github page.

    irasponsible,

    My worry would be who is funding it and how they plan to keep operating. Venture Capital startups will always betray their users.

    irasponsible,

    If you know the team, then that’s a pretty good reason to trust them. Only works if you know the team, though.

    irasponsible,

    I’ve heard good things about Kagi, but I can’t justify the cost (especially as its USD)

    irasponsible,

    even at US$5 a month, I don’t know. I feel like most searches I do are just to get to the website I already know the name of, and I’d blow through 300 pretty fast.

    irasponsible,

    I don’t think Red Cross is going off trademark law; using the Red Cross for anything but the Red Cross (same for the Red Crescent and Red Crystal) is a violation of international law (i.e. the Geneva Convention)

    Recipe request: Incorporating duxelles into imitation ground meat patties

    What I’ve found online is recipes for putting duxelles on burgers (or stuffing) or making mushroom burgers but what I want to do is mix the duxelles with the ground to make a patty mix instead. I’m not worried about the structural integrity (in that I know it won’t be great) and I’ll do them smash style in a pan. I would...

    irasponsible,

    If you’re blending or processing the duxelles, it would just be a case of blending it a little extra to help with the structural integrity? If you’re still havering structural integrity problems, either sub in French Onion Soup Powder for the onions or leave them out (you’ll get oniony flavour from the duxelles)

    I’d say keep the red wine, it’s not an uncommon thing to have in a burger anyway, and it would stop the party being too dry. If it’s too wet, add breadcrumbs!

    irasponsible,

    I would have assumed garlic was in the duxelles anyway! - and I don’t think you’d need more than the usual amount of onion/shallot in the duxelles. I’d reckon the duxelles is going to have plenty of flavour, so adding more to the patty isn’t going to really do much. Just some salt, pepper, and a bit of parsely?

    I haven’t tried anything like this before (only ever made duxelles for a Wellington), I’d be interested to hear how it goes!

    irasponsible,

    hey, did you try this? how did it go?

    Atkinson Hyperlegible on Beehaw?

    I’ve been trying to, through my browser and extensions, set a custom font for all websites. Specifically Atkinson Hyperlegible (google fonts link), developed by the Braille Institute, since I find it much easier to read when parsing large blocks of text. I’ve heard from some dyslexic folks it helps them as well (more so than...

    irasponsible,

    Awesome, thankyou!

    irasponsible,

    They seemed to have stopped selling them, at least where I am.

    irasponsible,

    I have a Garmin Vivosmart 4; does all the things I need it to do, and isn’t big or distracting. All I wanted was a step tracker and the ability to set multiple alarms.

    irasponsible,

    damn, i’ve been coasting on that for ages

    Anytype, an Obsidian alternative, is now Open Source (github.com)

    We believe that any software should support fundamental digital freedoms. With the rise of cryptography and computer systems, it is now possible to guarantee these freedoms in the world of bits: privacy of thoughts, freedom of speech, right to authorship, and autonomy from software providers. These rights can be encoded into the...

    irasponsible,

    “synced in your local p2p network” would mean, to me, to set it up yourself, not that they have a syncing solution.

    irasponsible,

    Yeah, no 3rd party apps have the BOM forecasts as an option, so they’re all functionally useless compared to the BOM’s app, even if 3rd-party apps have a nicer UI.

    irasponsible,

    Boost isn’t one of them, it’s not supposed to be working.
