Don’t make me tap the sign*

450 Watts?! Support sticks ?!?! They’ve actually gone insane. What the hell.

puyoxyz··on Avoiding homework with code and getting caught
Wow what a dick. Yeah they backed off after the backlash but that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

I’ll use Codespaces next time

puyoxyz··on The Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition
Chromebooks were great because they ran on ARM. Now all the new chromebooks run on Intel. I can’t find any ARM chromebooks at IRL stores anymore.

ARM chromebooks > Intel chromebooks, and if they continue pushing Intel they’re killing the reason that chromebooks can be both cheap and good

EDIT: And if you want to use it for Crostini… why are you getting a chromebook

puyoxyz··on Spotify vs. Apple Music Review – 2022 Edition
A few months ago it was in Alpha (and it might still be idk) so that makes sense

If you scroll up in the queue you get your history and a Clear button. Not sure if it affects recommendations

> No easy way to listen to a playlist on shuffle, starting from a specific song. You can search the playlist, but that limits you to shuffling the search results. You can scroll through your playlist until you find what you are looking for, but that is not easy.

Last I checked, Spotify has this issue too

Have you tried https://cider.sh ? I use it and it’s great, but I haven’t tried the AM mac app since I don’t use a mac

> I fear that the latency will be huge and dependant on your WiFi connection.

They could use Bluetooth; they already have the chips that work with the AirPods to connect when stuff is close, maybe something to do with that

puyoxyz··on Apps have become too good at their jobs
> Youtube shorts affected countless Youtubers who made their careers on the platform. They stole the target audience of regular-length videos which lead to a decrease in the watch time for longer videos. Youtube neglected its core audience in favor of increasing user retention based on a current trend. Established Youtubers like Marques Brownlee and Mrwhosetheboss had to create a secondary shorts channel to keep up with their audience.

I disagree with this. Things change, the world goes on, and you need to keep up with it. It’s not YouTube taking away their audience, it’s them not keeping up with the times (if they don’t make shorts)

There are some great refurbished ThinkPads that come with coreboot/libreboot/osboot and support the creator of those, at https://minifree.org/
puyoxyz··on AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
While they don’t have the excellent UX of Airpods with Apple products when used with non-Apple products, I’ve never experienced this “erratic behavior”. They just work like bluetooth headphones with no weird issues. I regularly use them with my desktop on both Linux and Windows, I’ve used them with my Nintendo Switch, etc… and no erratic behavior
puyoxyz··on A Message from Signal's New President
The desktop app seems good in my experience ?
puyoxyz··on I patched my Slack client to keep “oops” messages others delete
This applies to Twitter iOS and probably Web and Android too. If a tweet is in your feed and gets deleted, it’ll stay in your feed (but show “This tweet has been deleted” if you try to reply or look at replies)
puyoxyz··on I patched my Slack client to keep “oops” messages others delete
If you do this (anywhere, in any context, not just Slack — a notable example is Discord where a lot of people have mods that keep deleted messages), you are uncool. If I delete something I want it gone and if you install mods like this I see that as disrespecting me
puyoxyz··on Dear Oracle, Please Release the JavaScript Trademark
Just say the letters? Jay Ess in english, Jota Ese in spanish, etc…

What other way is there ?

puyoxyz··on Photopea: A Photoshop clone web app
An old example project that used to be accessible from the welcome screen had a pea, so I’d assume Photo Pea
puyoxyz··on Google Trends for the Steam Deck over Time
Why is it going up now?
puyoxyz··on CyberChef – The Cyber Swiss Army Knife
I’ve used this a lot and it’s very helpful; way easier than looking up random converters online that may or may not be what I want, or figuring out what the terminal command for what I want is (if there is one)
puyoxyz··on Mastodon still can’t replace Twitter
You can have multiple accounts on Twitter; it’s allowed and even encouraged since both the mobile app and the web app have an account switcher, and TweetDeck lets you use multiple accounts at once IIRC.
puyoxyz··on Mastodon still can’t replace Twitter
What!!! No!!! You’re not supposed to have multiple accounts !!! Mastodon federates !! The whole point is that you can have an account on one server and then follow and interact with people on other servers !! That is literally the whole point!!!!
puyoxyz··on Lenovo sends cease-and-desist to Framework over a stylized letter “O”
As far as I understand, since they do look the same and are both in the same field/industry (laptops), they have to do this or else someone else could infringe on their trademark and not get in trouble because they didn’t enforce it in the past.

puyoxyz··on MDN Redesign
I saw these comments and thought people were being grumpy about change for no reason, as usual. Then I opened MDN and... yeah no. Any way to get the old design back?
