tylergetsay··on Linux Career Opportunities in 2025: Skills in High Demand
I'm curious if these are somehow informed by real job postings. if so, I agree it's pretty obvious why these are in high demand (of employers).
tylergetsay··on I just want working RCS messaging
Without the carriers RCS wouldn't have been rolled out. it's why the builtin carrier texting apps support RCS.
tylergetsay··on My fan worked fine, so I gave it WiFi

Or the keys were long compromised and yesterday someone opened permissions on them in order to mitigate
tylergetsay··on KDE Connect: Enabling communication between all your devices
I wish KDE Connect supported a self hosted relay server configuration. I often use mobile internet and would love for KDE Connect to still work, without having to start Tailscale on my phone + manually configure IPs
tylergetsay··on DoorDash and Waymo launch autonomous delivery service in Phoenix
DoorDash appears very inexpensive when you have their DashPass product, however ive notice that basically every food service business will raise their menu prices, and grocery stores will restrict which items that allow you to buy.

This is really interesting because if you have autonmous drivers, DoorDash doesnt really have a lever to lower prices except removing tipping.

Almost all of the cheap ones broadcast on 433mhz and can be read with a SDR
tylergetsay··on Qualcomm to acquire Arduino
Espressif has been eating their lunch, the boards are way more capable and much cheaper. Why would anyone pick an Uno over an ESP32?

tylergetsay··on Dotfiles feel too personal to share
It makes me feel bad because I frequently will search github with "language:nix" to find usages, which is usually done in someones (sometimes the nixpkgs commit authors) personal config :')
tylergetsay··on Dotfiles feel too personal to share
I feel the same about my NixOS config despite the "open repo" model kind of being a default in that ecosystem
tylergetsay··on Why I'm Leaving NixOS After a Year?
I killed my laptop, since my config is all nix I was back online in less than an hour on a new machine
tylergetsay··on Windsurf employee #2: I was given a payout of only 1% what my shares where worth

tylergetsay··on What Happens When Hertz's AI Scanner Finds Damage on Your Rental
I've never seen a perfectly pristine rental car. They all have minor damage and scratches.
tylergetsay··on Teaching LLMs how to solid model
In your example, what about mounting the electronics or specifying that the control knobs need to fit within these dimensions? I guess its easy if those objects are available as a model, but thats not always the case.. 3d scanner maybe?

I don't think remote debugging by itself on a normal chrome profile is detectable

There is still a lot to do

tylergetsay··on Tumblr to join the Fediverse after WordPress migration completes
What else would they invest long term capital into? Developing PHP is the only thing that could come to mind
tylergetsay··on Ross Ulbricht granted a full pardon
That legal concept isn't a broad idea but rather a specific carve out for very specific crimes.
tylergetsay··on OpenAI spent $10M on chat.com URL
Is it really "owned"? Couldn't ICANN change the rules around ownership which would decrease its value?
