Isn’t this the guy that said he’s staying on X instead of moving to mastodon?

thisisawayoflife,

I remember this person specifically because of the douchey rant they posted and people clinging on their nuts.

thisisawayoflife,

I mean if this was written in 2010 I would definitely agree.

thisisawayoflife,

Now if only every state did vehicle inspections and enforced the laws…

thisisawayoflife,

Inb4 all the progressive voters who think long term enough to say “I’m not voting for Biden in 24”! 😂😂

thisisawayoflife,

That is the implication of the chosen language. It was intended to mock those individuals predictable responses.

thisisawayoflife,

Facebook has groups, and unfortunately, that’s a pretty important feature. The car groups I belong to are hardcore track drivers and DIYers that share knowledge (problems and resolutions, alignment specs, tire and wheel experiences, custom parts, parts swaps, etc) and independent manufacturers who make stuff that isn’t otherwise easily available.

Until there is a solid replacement for that, I can’t get rid of Facebook proper.

I played a lot of Sierra games in the 80s. I grew away from computers for a while and at some point in the 90s, Sierra sold out. They were basically drug through the mud, canned all its devs and became a brand rather than a software company. Sierra was also the first publisher of Half Life.

I was reading the history of Sierra there other night on Wikipedia and was sad because so many great games came out of that company and most were memorable. Hard to see that in any gaming these days

Back to my point, I started thinking that Valve saw what happened to Sierra and Newell decided fairly early on that they would be a software company and publisher and not sell out to a third party or take the company into the market. Pure speculation on my part, but they got their start sort of at the end of life of a bunch of 80s software companies. EA is certainly a shadow of what it was but it’s still around at least as a brand.

thisisawayoflife,

I too welcome our next Republican overlord.

thisisawayoflife,

That’s why I’m shifting to voting for Republicans. Only one way to accelerate the enshittification of politics and that’s by electing religious nutcases that will enforce their system on everyone.

thisisawayoflife,

Mostly I’m just tired of smoothbrains complaining about the president when they are probably doing jack shit to change FPTP voting at their local, county and state levels. I know for some folks sarcasm doesn’t come across too clearly on the Internet.

thisisawayoflife,

Imagine how fucked and shitty your life has to be, to be a 12 or 13 year old trying to carjack people.

thisisawayoflife,

I didn’t suggest rich kids were immune?

thisisawayoflife, (edited )

Yes. I would like to see a DIY selfhosted replacement for play services that is a direct swap in, in the sense that as an end user I couldn’t tell the difference (notifications primarily)

Edit: wow! Didn’t realize selfhosting replacements for Google services is so controversial!

Is there some FOSS or Linux native Battle Royale?

Hi, bth I never played fortnite, but I tried PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile and I honestly enjoyed the Battle Royale gameplay, and I think I’m kinda good at it given the number of times I’ve won, but I got tired of those games needing to download a shit ton of content and trying to make me pay for shit, so I haven’t played in...

thisisawayoflife,

There was a game called The Culling. The sequel was crap and it bombed immediately. The first one was excellent though.

thisisawayoflife,

This is good to know as I’ll be seeing up a new opnsense router in the next few weeks.

thisisawayoflife,

Should be 1gbps asymmetric now, with a near future goal of 1gbps symmetric.

thisisawayoflife,

FF is totally broken for me when I try to use anything Google or Cloudflare related for some reason. With cloudflare, I’m in a human verification loop and with Google I get the message “This browser or app may not be secure”, in a regular window or private window. This is Ubuntu 22.04. Works fine in chrome. Only browser plug-in I use is KeePassXC, and disabling it doesn’t resolve the issue. Disabling pfblocker-ng at my router also did not solve the issue.

thisisawayoflife,

Repo. I had to abandon the default snap install because it was sandboxed, and I need the KPXC plugin to be able to communicate with KPXC for login autofill.

And for reference, this is FF119.

thisisawayoflife,

Yeah, it’s super annoying as I don’t use Chrome for anything anymore and this just recently started happening, maybe within the last 2-3 months.

thisisawayoflife,

Private browser, wiped local data. I have no idea what the problem is.

thisisawayoflife,

I’ll give that a shot when I get home.

thisisawayoflife,

This fixed the issue. Thanks for the suggestion!

thisisawayoflife,

You would never just merge into upstream. You need to make sure your fork is up to date and there are no code conflicts, then you create a pull request from your branch into the branch you would want to merge into. That information will probably be in the specific projects contribution document.

thisisawayoflife,

Oh gotcha! Yeah, git merge upstreamNane branchName is the right method. Just be aware that you might have a whole host of conflicts to resolve if there’s been a significant amount of time in your branch.

One thing I like doing is creating a feature branch, then branching off that for very specific feature work. Then I try to complete that feature quickly and merge that into my feature branch and keep that up to date every day with the updated branch it was forked from. That way, I’m never too far behind production changes and the merge conflicts are kept at a minimum.

thisisawayoflife,

I’ve considered this, but my branches don’t generally live longer than a week and there isn’t usually multiple engineers working on a codebase at once. Thankfully my team is smallish and the projects are either small maintenance items or greenfield. I’ll look into where we can leverage it though!

thisisawayoflife,

Rush 'n Attack. Get it? I was maybe 6 years old when I was dropping quarters into that bad boy.

thisisawayoflife,

I would challenge your definition of streaming. I host all my own music and I stream it all the time via Airsonic-advanced (though it does get cached - and it’s constantly downloading new podcast episodes). For me it’s just the level of accessibility I consider as “streaming”.

thisisawayoflife,

Good question, I don’t know. I know I’ve seen people selling things in Mastodon but that’s been my extent of experience.

thisisawayoflife,

Yes! I was wondering how Funkwhale could be leveraged here.

thisisawayoflife,

Excellent link, thanks!

thisisawayoflife,

An artist posting on LinkedIn is what inspired my post. But I suppose a for-profit private company is probably the solution to it.

thisisawayoflife, (edited )

Yeah, I feel like there needs to be a solution to this. Thankfully, artists don’t generally have hugely enormous catalogs that would take up terabytes of space (my entire collection is less than 400GB, which is many, many times larger than any single recording artists catalog, even the Beatles).

One rub I have with limited downloads is that memory of broken CDs. I bought a mobile app that is about $200 and they limit the number of times you can request are-download before you have to buy another license and I think it’s messed up. I’ve had to store that APK on multiple flash drives, off-site, etc.

thisisawayoflife,

Don’t you understand? Only a for-profit, privately held (or even better, publicly traded!) company can save us!

thisisawayoflife,

Conservatives.

thisisawayoflife,

How isn’t there a fort named after him!? Isn’t he one of the MOST decorated GIs in history?

thisisawayoflife,

I feel like a search plugin needs to be added to PeerTube to allow search and use of YouTube, with the added benefit of downloading the video (in the background) and adding it to PT.

thisisawayoflife,

I used to donate to BBSes, and my BBS ran on donations, so that’s how I’d approach the issue.

thisisawayoflife,

Imagine how it for those of us who run clean browsers but pfblocker-ng at the router. It’s a no go - hell, I can’t even log into Google anymore, and most cloudflare sites put me in the human verification loop.

thisisawayoflife,

Yeah it’s super weird. I figured out that if I use Chrome I can get around cloudflare, but I still have problems with Google. I normally use Firefox as my primary browser. I also don’t like having a bunch of browser plugins (KeePassXC is the only one).

thisisawayoflife,

Isn’t corporate owned infrastructure grand!?

thisisawayoflife,

Started daily driving Linux on a laptop 20 years ago. Moved my desktop to it by 2007. I haven’t ran Windows at home except in a VM (5+years ago) since around 2009. I’m much happier with the quirks of Linux than I am using Microsoft products.

thisisawayoflife,

Saw Shaft for the first time as a teenager. It was great in the 90s, still holds up today

Here’s one to Richard Roundtree. 🥂🥂

thisisawayoflife,

Yep. One should never use a smartphone with the intent of ever breaking a law. It’s nothing but a huge papertrail for law enforcement. Believe in parallel construction and don’t believe stories of safely encrypted data in either iOS or Android.

thisisawayoflife,

Absolutely, they could if they wanted to and they do have Android devs on staff for the Xbox app. I just get the impression there isn’t a lot of focus put on those efforts (given the state and featureset of said Android app). But, they could focus on it if they really cared about it. Problem is, it’s an unknown to the C level execs so it’s probably too risky to spend money on. Gotta keep those shareholder profits up or risk their positions.

thisisawayoflife,

Yes exactly. I saw it when I was 4 of 5 years old. I was scared as hell at the twist.
