nosioptar··on The terrible menu bar in the Windows 11 Notepad
KATE worked quite well on last time I had to use Windows. I doubt KDE will be doing any of the lame things MS has been doing to Notepad.

nosioptar··on Am I Being Gaslit by AI?
That's my least favorite part about clankers. Gives you a wrong answer. You point it out. Clanker responds by saying something like, it's not wrong, $X is the load-bearing deciding factor. Now that I know $X...

Motherfucker, I clearly mentioned $X in the fucking initial prompt!

nosioptar··on Version control second coming
I'd love a Plan9 with a keyboard driven UI.
nosioptar··on Show HN: The same nine streaming subscriptions cost $702/year more than in 2021
JFC, it didn't even cost $4 to rent titanic when it was new.

I was in the same boat with Netflix.
nosioptar··on Be Using Rootless Containers
I'm pretty sure he's talking about Omarchy. They had some container related issue not too long ago.

OpenMandriva would be my next guess, but it's not a newer distro.

nosioptar··on Rock band Muse lose social media handles to Meta’s new AI tool
I listened to the Beatles growing up, despite them being much more thab twice my age.

I have younger relatives that love Muse (and Spinal Tap).

Before today, I'd never heard of the muse app that chanhed it's name.

It became the default due to how Facebook behaves. If facebook employees even occasionally acted like human beings with an ounce of decency, it might be worth not assuming they're evil sacks of shit.

Classicpress may be worth checking out.

nosioptar··on AirPods 5
I got a pair of Bose qc-25 and a fiio q1 for about the price of a set of earbuds. (Bose were refurbs from bose's ebay store and fiio was closing out the q1 at the time.) That combo kicks the everloving shit out of any Bluetooth headphones I've tried.
nosioptar··on Updates to Our Terms of Service
> In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved

-7th amendment of US constitution

Requiring users to waive their right to a jury trial ought to be illegal.

Dont even get me started on demanding that disputes be resolved in a miserable shithole jurisdiction (Texas).

nosioptar··on What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks
The answer to that is to "donate" to about 270 congress critters. Buying 5 motorhomes for supreme court members could work too.
nosioptar··on No Man's Sky Cosmos
I don't use steam, the price I saw was the GoG price.
nosioptar··on No Man's Sky Cosmos
I don't pay for games that require using proton/wine. If a dev wants my money, they can add a Linux target to their makefile.
nosioptar··on No Man's Sky Cosmos
Holy shit, they're charging $60 for a 10 year old game that only runs on windows.

Not even worth pirating if I have to set up a container with wine, I'd rather spend that time drinking wine.

nosioptar··on Trey Parker and Matt Stone Are Changing the Name of South Park to South America
The r-word is "retard".
nosioptar··on Trey Parker and Matt Stone Are Changing the Name of South Park to South America
Our education system has failed younger generations. Everyone my age watched the documentary about Schwarzenegger's pregnancy.
nosioptar··on Fashware
This list is garbage. Ever link I clicked on to try to see why they were listed took me to some form of anti bot page that I can't pass.

They should at least write a couple sentences about why for each group.

nosioptar··on Custom Scrollbar Component in 2026
Fucking with scrollbars is a great way to make sure I close the tab and tell everyone I know that you're a miserable asshole who deserves to spend eternity walking barefoot through broken legos.
nosioptar··on “Tweet” and the bird logo apparently enter the public domain
The "X" logo twitter uses these days looks like someone bought an x11 logo from temu.
nosioptar··on I-have-ADHD: A skill to stop coding agents from burying the answer
Ive tried asking a yes/no question with something like "answer only with 'yes' or 'no'" and still have to chew the clanker piece of shit out four or five times to get it to folow instructions.

Not to mention it almost always gets the wrong answer.

nosioptar··on I-have-ADHD: A skill to stop coding agents from burying the answer
Imma get a sledge hammer and knock down the next "load-bearing" wall I see.

Officer — it's not a crime, it's AI induced rage.

nosioptar··on LibreOffice breaks download records after declaring it has no AI features
The only real sensible date format is yyyy-mm-dd, makes it easy to sort.
nosioptar··on LibreOffice breaks download records after declaring it has no AI features
I absolutely see a lack of soulless clankers to be a feature.

I completely agree that focusing on "scripting" would be great. Clanker proxies can allow their clanker to use it while grumpy bastards like me can stick to Bash to automate it.

nosioptar··on 216M Spy TVs – The LG Smart TV Problem [video]
I read it more as a senior living facility.

Those folks pay out the effing nose, they ought to be allowed to control the temp in their apartment.

nosioptar··on 216M Spy TVs – The LG Smart TV Problem [video]
That'd be the time to grab your hammer, baseball bat, or shotgun.

I'd rather open it up and remove/destroy just the network card.

(I don't have to do so though because my tv is 20 years old.)

nosioptar··on It took a year to ship WebAssembly in Anubis
The Anubis anime girl is an instant tab close for me, especially while in public. I dont like having to explain to people that I'm not one of those creepy anime guys.
nosioptar··on It took a year to ship WebAssembly in Anubis
I disable workers.

I forgot to do so on my phone. I noticed Firefox had slowed to a friggeb crawl when opening pages. Disabling web workers fixed that.
