tym0··on New Lifetime Plex Pass Pricing
For me, and despite the constant enshitification of Plex, the apps are still better. But I'm really close to the tipping point, I've been tinkering with making Kodi not suck but custom themes really seem like piles of unsuported plugins.
tym0··on Driver accused of DUI tracks missing laptop to Illinois State trooper's house
What other countries do? A chemical test on the field and a more accurate one when they get to the police station.
tym0··on macOS 27 won’t be supporting Intel anymore
Not sure why this is so down voted. I have a touch bar era Intel Mac, I regularly check the state of Linux on it and they are still somewhat poorly supported. Some drivers are out of tree, audio and sleep doesn't necessarily work, etc...
tym0··on Rumor: Anthropic is going to buy Atlassian?
It does have one, we use it at work. https://www.atlassian.com/blog/announcements/remote-mcp-serv...
tym0··on WiiFin – Jellyfin Client for Nintendo Wii
Yeah the poor Jellyfin clients (on xbox) are what's keeping me on Plex despite all the accumulating paper cuts...
tym0··on LibreOffice – Let's put an end to the speculation
No, Code Weavers do awesome work but I was thinking of the work that Valve has been funding around Mesa, the kernel, etc...
tym0··on LibreOffice – Let's put an end to the speculation
I've really been enjoying the work that collabora (the consultancy) has done, especially around gaming on Linux.

So it's really disappointing to see Collabora Online and TDF behaving like this...

tym0··on Britain is ejecting hereditary nobles from Parliament after 700 years
“It should never be a gallery of old boys"

How else would you describe all the life peers who's sole qualification was to be mate with the prime minister at the time?

tym0··on I ported Linux to the PS5 and turned it into a Steam Machine
Wonder if the work being done on the BC-250 helped.
tym0··on OpenClaw surpasses React to become the most-starred software project on GitHub
Did an AI write this? Completely missed the point ^^'
tym0··on Web Components: The Framework-Free Renaissance
Do you still have to pass every args as json/strings or has there been an improvement on that front?
tym0··on Gwtar: A static efficient single-file HTML format
I was on board until I saw that those can't easily be opened from a local file. Seems like local access is one of the main use case for archival formats.
tym0··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
Time to spin up a mumble server again...
tym0··on ‘ELITE’: The Palantir app ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid
Then you're not familiar with software consultancy because that's exactly what they do.
tym0··on Jank Lang Hit Alpha
It's still a fun language to play with :)

My favourite thing was to run it on all kind of microcontrollers as you could just emit C. Wrote a small GBA game with it.

tym0··on Jank Lang Hit Alpha
Most of my contributions were to the stdlib so my knowledge of the implementation of the type system is limited sadly.

Maybe Erik, the creator, would be interested. I know he was looking at rewriting Carp in cpp at some point.

tym0··on Jank Lang Hit Alpha
That's the language I was talking about :)

But none of us have worked on it in a while.

tym0··on Jank Lang Hit Alpha
Oh man, as someone who used to contribute to a statically typed lispy language this would be the dream for me.
tym0··on Writing non-English languages with a QWERTY keyboard
Yeah I like this layout and it seems to be available on all Linux distros. I only use it occasionally to talk to friends back home though, not sure how it is for constant use.
tym0··on Hash tables in Go and advantage of self-hosted compilers
Using a bool instead of empty struct also means that there is more way to use it wrong: check the bool instead of if the key exist, set the bool incorrectly, etc...

I would argue using bool hurts readability more.

Even better write/use a simple library that calls things that are sets `Set`.

tym0··on Show HN: Search the lyrics of 500 HÖR Berlin techno sets
I feel it would be more interesting to show statistics about the words used rather than search.
tym0··on Zellij: A terminal workspace with batteries included
I feel the same. If someone would ask me for a recommendation I would point them toward Zellij but if you've been using tmux for years it's probably not worth it.

The modal nature of Zellij is nice though.

tym0··on Steam Frame
It appears I was wrong about Android. The fact that they said you could just install APKs on it made me think what they called SteamOS was just Android here but your link is clear that FEX doesn't run there.

Guess they have yet another translation layer to run these APKs?

tym0··on Steam Frame
Steam Machine is x86_64
tym0··on Steam Frame
Now that they've ported Steam to Android with FEX + Proton [0] (what this is running), the question is will they release it for the rest of Android devices? There is a ton of Android gaming handhelds and people are already experimenting with things like Winlator [1] but having well supported way could be awesome.

tym0··on Affinity Studio now free
Yeah I use this.

- V1 has some rendering issue on my work machine (haven't updated it in a bit, could have been fixed)

- V2 mostly works well on my home machine, some crashes

Overall wouldn't use it for work but for small edits it's fine.

tym0··on Affinity Studio now free
Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a thing for V2
tym0··on Affinity Studio now free
As someone who just bought V2 I am worried that V2 uses an activation server at all unlike V1 with its license key.

When this free/premium with AI thing crash and burn in a few years I can kiss that license goodbye.

tym0··on Affinity Studio now free
Right so people who said they were going to merge the products together and release it free where right on the money.

It being free means it'll eventually get enshittified though.

Oh well, I just bought V2. What worries me however is that it already used an account instead of a license key like V1...

tym0··on Google flags Immich sites as dangerous
Right, for postgres I would use unnest for inserting a non-static amount of rows.
