I was just woken up by a leaf blower again. I feel ya.

I see, interesting. Do you know if there’s a way to completely prohibit an app from running in the background other than just using the “restricted” battery mode for it, which doesn’t stop it completely?

I only have 1 app active in the background and it’s a custom DNS. I’m very good about keeping all my apps closed when I’m not using them and notifications are disabled for most apps.

Phone batteries still do that

I can see why you’d prefer braces in that case. I actually personally prefer {} over indentation as a matter of opinion, I just see them both as working fine 99% of the time. I’d also definitely take indentation over some shenanigans like start/end to define scopes.

I don’t understand why people complain about their Python code breaking because it relies on indentation instead of explicit {} syntax. I’ve never had an issue with it and it’s not just because I’m used to it because Python is the only language I use that relies on whitespace like that. I think the complainers just don’t know how to indent properly, which makes me really glad they’re writing in a language that forces them to instead of pushing unreadable garbage in other languages.

So it’s sort of like Minecraft structured like Roblox? (Minus the corporate greed)

It really depends on what content you want. If you like news and memes, Lemmy is the place to go. If you have a niche interest, there’s no hope.

Yep. Not always larger necessarily, but close to the same size on average, or maybe a little smaller if the domain is limited and compression can be applied. Not really useful.

You can bet your ass they paid a lot of money to get their malware on your computer. It should be illegal to load consumer hardware with 3rd party bloatware that can’t be removed.

If they can prove you got a bunch of gold with a loan and then your descendants suddenly have a bunch of gold, but they can’t prove it’s the same gold, is that enough to make the descendants pay back the loan?

What if you did it with Monero to make it impossible to prove it’s the same money?

You need to make sure to remove excess whitespace from the JSON to speed up parsing. Have an AI read the JSON as plaintext and convert it to a handwriting-style image, then another one to use OCR to convert it back to text. Trailing whitespace will be removed.

Yeah, but that doesn’t work well on 1440p because it doesn’t scale perfectly.

I had a 1440p monitor and “downgraded” back to 1080p when it broke because I could barely tell the difference when gaming and I get a significantly higher framerate in most games at 1080p, which does make a big difference for me.

I got a laptop with an HDD a while back because I’m an idiot “more storage space hurr durr!”

It took 10-15 minutes to boot and another 5-10 just to open a web browser when it was running Windows 10. Even once stuff was open, everything was so laggy that it wasn’t really usable. I’d miss a solid chunk of whatever we were supposed to be doing on our laptops in class when I was using it for that.

Linux changed EVERYTHING. It boots in just a couple of minutes and only needs a minute or two to settle itself before things start running smoothly. I even managed to play Hollow Knight on it with no lag!

People don’t realize how bloated Windows is until they try Linux. If your computer is slow and was made in the last 10 years, no it isn’t, your OS is.

I don’t think it was very well-known in 2014. Besides, “everyone should know that this is a scam” isn’t a reason to make scams legal.

Those are both solutions that only work sometimes and for the former, you have no way of knowing if it worked unless you actually listen to the result. Having to download the podcast twice is also rather undesirable.

Detecting the ads directly would be hard. The real way to do this would be to mark segments of *non-*advertisement and then send the information necessary to identify them to the client so that it can scan through the downloaded audio file and remove anything that shouldn’t be there. The algorithm would still be pretty complicated, but feasible.

Arrrr!
