I got fired when the company decided to downsize.

“How is that dumb?” you ask? That happened less than two weeks after I was hired. The boss man’s speech indicated that that was the result of a long deliberation by corporate. So if you knew there could be layoffs any moment, why the fuck were you hiring?

They’re probably talking about Samsung TVs, not their android phones/tablets. Installing jellyfin on those things can be a chore. My experience with LG was similar. The official build was out of date and riddled with issues that didn’t exist on other versions. It refused to play videos that worked well enough on other devices, transcode or no.

Ah, if I understand this explanation right, the blob’s purpose is to do things and stuff. Is that correct?

The concept might be, but the word itself is a compound of the words “verantwortung” and “bewusstsein”. They mean responsibility and consciousness respectively, and are both perfectly common and simple words. The whole thing means what you think it does, nothing special.

German doesn’t really have those hyper specific super obscure words, they’re almost always compound words made up of common words.

The problem has two sides: software and hardware. You can open source the software side all you want, it’s not gonna go very far when it has to fight against the hardware instead of working with it.

ROCm is open source, but it’s AMD. Their hardware has historically not been as powerful and therefore attractive to the target audience, so it’s been going slow.

Phones routinely look for specific SSIDs by their names. Imagine you’re strolling through a mall while your appearance changes every 2 seconds, but you keep yelling out the names of 5 other peoole. People will not know who you are really, but they will be able to follow you around because they will know that it’s you who yells those 5 names no matter what you look like.

It’s cockus engORgio, not engorgioh

We were taking a walk by the sea on a cold-ish winter night. Some stupid teens got up on the walls at the edge of the quay and started posing for photos and shit. Just as one of them was in the middle of yelling to her friends something about how not-scary it was up on that wall, two of them lost their balance and fell in the water. It was a big splash. I mean it was not good for those two kids of course, but the timing could not have been more hilariously perfect.

What skill? This is not a fucking game lmao. I don’t use an immutable distro because I have better things to do with my time than to try and climb a steep learning curve using some very questionable documentation. I can acknowledge the benefits, but I also acknowledge it’s gonna take me time to get there. And I judge that the time investment is not worth it.

Never seen tearing look like a cracked mirror.

It doesn’t have discussions, it doesn’t offer pull request management with commented/annotated code reviews, it doesn’t have built-in ssh and key management features, no workflows, no authorization tools of any kind…

In short I find the “just use git itself lmao” to be an exceedingly weird thing to say and I find it even weirder that it gets said as often as it does and it gets upvoted so much. Git by itself is not very useful at all if there are more than one a half people working on the same code.

Keyboards have two layouts: a physical layout and a logical layout. The physical layout defines what the keyboard looks like, and the logical layout defines what signal each key sends to the computer. Qwerty is a logical layout, ISO and ANSI are physical layouts. Qwerty keyboards exist commonly in both ISO and ANSI layouts.

Excuse me if I don’t appreciate when the compiler adamantly refuses to do its job when there’s one single unused variable in the code, when it could simply ignore that variable and warn me instead.

I also don’t enjoy having to format datetime using what’s probably the most reinventing-the-wheel-y and most weirdly US-centric formatting schemes I have ever seen any programming language build into itself.

Unfortunately, as of 29.05.2024, carrying laptops in your pocket is still slightly too uncomfortable.

Pretending that the distro package manager is a suitable tool is not enough? Kids these days smh

C dependency management is the worst. I thoroughly dislike how it works over there.

Which is why I love concept albums where the artist sings a bunch of songs that tell some story of a fisherman who catches a magic mermaid type creature who can cure cancer, but the mermaid type creature ends up becoming a trapped carnival attraction at a freak show instead. Or about the story of a mad scientist type dude who conducts experiments on his patients, creates an evil demagogue who then becomes a tyrant whose reign ends in a terrible war that causes a lot of death and destruction. Or about a bunch of AI who find themselves in disagreement with their creators and then say bye to the solar system and just fuck off into deep space.

If you want to be able to use “actual streaming services like Netflix”, you’re gonna be disappointed. Those use DRM that won’t be available to your Pi. Most of them will at least limit the quality to a pretty pathetic level. Overall it’s not going to be a satisfying experience. AFAIK it takes some major hackery to get around that limitation, making it a practically insurmountable obstacle.

Otherwise the rest are more than doable. I’d still recommend an x64 based mini pc though.

But it’s so unbearably slow.

Me when my computer that has a typical uptime of 37 days boots up in 7 seconds with systemd instead of 5.5 seconds with runit: 😡😡😡😡
