Hello fellow schmuck 👋

It’s a simpler, more laid back life 😎

I disable read receipts in Apps that support it. I also don’t open notifications when i receive a message. I read the message in notification, or my Pixel buds reads it to me, i dont think apps register that as “read” since those notifications have explicit “mark as read” action.

I second this. Blinking lights make it more difficult to gauge your position, speeds,or even Tell if you’re stationary or moving.

Also at an intersection if I look your way in the split second your light blinks, you’re invisible.

Whem i cycle i always use solid lights, and only if i have more than one rear light I’ll make it blink.

Think, if blinking lights are safer, why aren’t they installed factory default on cars and airplanes? They are in fact less safe.

If you see me on the side of the road with my helmet behind my bike, though, I’m asking you to do more than wave. That’s a bit of signaling we do to other riders (and the occasional kind driver) to say we need help.

Imagine asking chatgpt and it tells you to “Google it”

I don’t know about computationaly expensive. Once video is processed, it’s mostly just a fancy CDN.

They don’t know, they’re just trying to smoke him out.

You can go a long way with a touchscreen, but the most annoying thing for me is that in Terminal, using touchscreen selects text instead of scrolling. Other than that, mouse is hardly necessary.

There’s “VPN by Google” and “Google One VPN”. Maybe it’s the former that’s being discontinued?

Not for me, i just checked again. I can drag what appears to be a thumbnail and it doesn’t behave like a window so i can’t snap it to the side or the grid, and the window is still there so even if there are no other tabs in that window i can’t move the tab to merge with a window below as it’s covered by the first window.

I know I’m a tab juggler 🤹‍♂️

That’s not the shape of my heart 🎶

Smartphones still take better photos but they compensate for the optics with software. If you stick that large of a lens into a smartphone, the battery would be too small. Not ti mention the extra moving parts required for retractable lens.

Last i checked on Fedora (40) it didn’t work for me. Firefox also had worse touchscreen support.

I like Firefox as it performs better and uses less resources, the main friction for me would be moving all the passwords from google password manager. I’d also like to keep them in sync with chrome as I’ll still get probably use chrome on other devices, including android.

In the US it’s called “tipping”

Dragging chrome tab to another screen. On windows and chrome os it works fine, i can drag a tab from one window and it becomes a separate window i can place anywhere.

On Linux, as soon as i move the tab, the new window is created but I’m no longer dragging it. It annoys me greatly because i often want to move tab to the other half of the screen, or another screen and i can’t do it in one motion.

It’s the exposure to those languages that reassures Python developers that Python is superior.

Take nodejs for example. you write js on the backend, js on the front end and you’re convinced that js is all you’ll ever need.

Good idea to use WHEN, but I’m not sure the code example is self explanatory enough

LogEntry.objects.filter(is_affected(USER))

Its possible to implement custom lookups in django, that may be a better interface for this.

Must be famished after all that time

And USB A since most devices, USB sticks and peripherals still use that format

And carry them with you everywhere
