They mentioned SyncThing. 👍

It would’ve been satisfying had I not wasted my entire summer 💀

Just get rid of the charging stations. It’s ridiculous that EV owners should expect to charge their cars anywhere but at home or at work.

Freaking BASED.

But for long-distance trips, that doesn’t really hold up until we get battery capacities vastly superior to those of today. For countries with workers that have vacations, we like to go places other than home or work, sometimes. 😅

Reminds me of when I was in University and catching up with some lab work over the summer to get a passing grade. Was doing some 3D programming assignment and I spent I think 5 weeks debugging my stuff.

Turns out I needed to transpose two adjacent lines of code. No syntax errors, no runtime errors, just graphics pipeline not outputting what I expected. Was a nightmare. And not even satisfying to figure it out.

Yeah, for scripts that should be the norm. It really helps with legibility and maintainability, not having to have the manual open for 5 programs while tweaking stuff. 👌

Alright, cool. Thanks for replying!

Oh okay. I should pick that show up again, finish what I started.

Thanks!

I know right. I was offered a job at a betting site and online casino with those addictive games and shit. Gave that a hard pass, said no thanks, don’t think that’s the right business area for me. I would feel so dirty going to and coming from work every damn day.

It’s still sad to see the development. We’re allowed to mourn things that happened long ago, you know.

What’s this about? Fill me in? 🙏

Can I just say how beautiful that page is? Such a delight to read the text on it. The legibility. The simplicity. 😙👌

Any way to get YouTube’s recommendations as well, and not just subscriptions? I mainly watch stuff from my recommendations, which are usually exactly what I want to see. Been honing my alg for decades. 😅

in their jurisdiction (Mexico) it is actually the “Gulf of Mexico” in Google Maps, they don’t get the “Gulf of America” name.

I’m in Europe and for me it says “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”. 🥴

Alternatives are just not good enough

And to no fault of their own of course. They just aren’t working with the same resources as Google and the others.

I think it’s more a question of stepping down our level of comfort at this point. Can we live without a particular service that Google provides, when there are no alternatives with feature parity? Or can we live with the fact that some of the features aren’t working as well or missing, and use the alternatives anyway?

Not for me but I can see how it would be for some people joining a platform focusing on image content.

Can confirm. As soon as I turn off personalized ads, I get nothing but “find hot ladies in your area” and “play this hentai game” ads across all Google products. It’s ridiculous.

I wish more people did that ngl 💀
