tvbusy,

Another translation of OP’s opinion: walking on the street without looking at storefronts is unfair. Stores pay a substantial rent to be there and a lot of money to renovate and pay people to put up stuff for you to look at. Anyone not looking at these store fronts are robbing people of their money. There should be traffic stops where people have to describe exactly the location, size and content of every ads on the street. Failing to do so should be punished by law.

tvbusy,

Where I live, newspapers come with a separate detached portion that are all ads. With your logic, I’m obligated to have to read them too and not just throw them out?

tvbusy,

My experience with maintaining open source projects (though mine are very much smaller) is that it’s quite similar to a business: you just have to deal with stakeholders and people who think they are stakeholders.

I had all the same experience at work:

  • Some unknown person from an unrelated team contacted me because something that my team does not manage broke. I tried to help a few times and I suddenly became their personal IT support team.
  • Another time someone not even working at my company demanded that I drop everything and fix their problem, because my name appeared in 3rd parties libraries.

It’s sad that open source authors don’t always receive the recognition that they deserve.

tvbusy,

Auth0 has “development keys” for you to test integration with social logins. For production environment, you should still use your own keys.

I would suggest:

  • 1KB = storage capacity of 1 kg of 1.44 floppy disks.
  • 1MB = storage capacity of 0.0106 mile of CD drives.
  • 1GB = storage capacity of 1 good computer in the 2000s.
  • 1TB = storage capacity of 1 truck of GB (see above)

PS: just to be clear, I meant CD drives, not CD discs.

tvbusy,

Thank you for your compliment. I love it. The floppy disk is 1.44 non-freedom MB, not 0.015264 miles of CD drives.

Valve's iFixit partnership is a game changer (sh.itjust.works)

I dropped my launch edition steam deck last night on carpet and while all the buttons still worked- something was rattling inside of it. After I opened it up I discovered a missing chunk of plastic from the R2 trigger, that piece presses against another to keep the button from over articulating. I suspect this trigger absorbed...

tvbusy,

You make me want to buy a Steam Deck, even though I don’t play games much.

tvbusy,

Internet connection required at all times? No thanks

My favorite books. However, the story line involves a lot of feelings and thinking of the main character. I hope they will be able to translate it to screen.

Reddit is licensing its content to Google to help train its AI models (www.engadget.com)

Google has struck a deal with Reddit that will allow the search engine maker to train its AI models on Reddit’s vast catalog of user-generated content, the two companies announced. Under the arrangement, Google will get access to Reddit’s Data API, which will help the company “better understand” content from the site....

tvbusy,

Spez: we want to sell our users’ content to anyone with a good price.

Staff: but our users will rage and delete their content.

Spez: not if we remove the API.

tvbusy,

RoR is too much magic for me. Getting started with any new code base is such a pain that I never want to do again. As a manager, I’ll avoid any job post that mentions Ruby. I have maintained projects written in Delphi, Centura, Java, C#, PHP and none of them even come close to the pain of RoR. Java and C# are notorious for ceremonial interfaces but that’s nothing compared to trying to figure out RoR automagics.

tvbusy,

IVF often results in multiple fertilized eggs that can develop. It’s part of the process that the best will be selected and the rest discarded. Now with this ruling, patients will have to choose: either pay a huge sum to try egg by egg, or to do multiple at the same time and carry to term all that was fertilized.

Jerusalem: Jewish invader movement makes plan to steal large slice of Armenian quarter

tvbusy,

See the white, metal looking thing in the image? That’s another tracking device from the government to track people wherever they do. They even put it in all 4 of your wheels so they will know when to issue you a traffic ticket. Remove them. /s

tvbusy,

I like it that way. It’s the same as “Twitter now renamed X by a fool”.

tvbusy,

I regret looking up the clip: youtu.be/jNFOVkB6JjQ

Sorry to say to my UK friends, it looks like these people have no manners when it comes to debating. Asking a question and then proceeded to shout over them. I’m surprised they still have viewers.

tvbusy,

Epic wanted exclusives by pulling games from other platforms. I will never spend a single cent on Epic Games. I’m happy to spend it on Steam, especially games that I have pirated before (Commandos series for example) or indie games (Banished anyone?).

For bigger games such as Civilians, I’ll purchase it on Steam and then pirate so I don’t need to run Steam. I am a big fan of patches to remove the intro screen.

Bild: Russia may attempt to attack Europe next winter, European intelligence source says (kyivindependent.com)

European intelligence suggests that Russia may launch an attack on Europe during the winter of 2024-2025 if the United States finds itself "without a leader" following the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the German tabloid Bild reported on Dec. 23, citing an anonymous European intelligence source.

tvbusy,

Never underestimate desperate dictators, they can do anything just to hang on to the throne just one more second, even if it means to destroy their very kingdom.

tvbusy,

I pirate because it’s more convenient. No launcher, no update, no DRM, no need to be always online. I still purchase games but still play the pirated version.

tvbusy,

It is compulsory for all Israelis to do military service. In a way, some civilians in the concert are also soldiers. I have no idea how I would look at it but let’s not exclude the military service.

tvbusy,

IDF: sorry guys, we meant to kill them all. So sorry we got only 3 of them.

tvbusy,

I hope browsers will prompt users to make the selection on the first start. While I like it enabled by default, making users explicitly do so will give it a lot more legal weight than enabled by default.

Ultrasound can push vaccines into the body without needles (www.newscientist.com)

Vaccines can be delivered through the skin using ultrasound. This method doesn’t damage the skin and eliminates the need for painful needles. To create a needle-free vaccine, Darcy Dunn-Lawless at the University of Oxford and his colleagues mixed vaccine molecules with tiny, cup-shaped proteins. They then applied liquid...

tvbusy,

What if 5G radio wave is there to push vaccines hidden in sunscreen into our body? /s

tvbusy,

Nice, set it as my phone’s wallpaper. Thank you.
