Stack Overflow originally came about to replace sites like the shit-show that was Experts Exchange. Stack Overflow has now become a shit-show.

@dbarros “now”? That “now” has been going for a few years now. There’s just another layer of enshittification with the recent OpenAI stuff.

Finally, all those years of reading and copying code from StackOverflow and related sites, while not giving anything back to the community, is paying off. https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/6/24150341/openai-stack-overflow-partner-api-coding-assistance

I’m in a couple of Melbourne history Facebook groups, where someone will post a historical tidbit. Someone else will post a comment adding to the history, whether they read it somewhere, or actually lived it. One example is how radio licences were a thing back when radio was new in Australia, one scheme being listeners having to pay a subscription to a particular radio station – that didn’t last long.

There’s always one boomer saying “Well I lived in Melbourne in the 1960s and I have no recollection of that ever happening”, insinuating that the information is completely wrong, because they personally did not experience it.

I love how these boomers always think that they are the main character. And I love correcting them – “The scheme was abolished in 1923 Karen, well before your personal recollections of the 1960s”.

lets say i wanted to use something that isn't a smartphone for TOTP purposes - what's out there? something stand alone, probably not internet connected or reliant on a business providing updates to keep it working, and that I can have multiple copies of

@decryption @wezm I remember my Handspring Visor, I loved that thing, but it was just a toy for me as I was in uni and didn’t really use it for any serious work.

Affectionally called “mouse on a rope” by some, this two-handed mouse from Apple finally brought right mouse clicking to the masses.

A design flaw was discovered however, where you could never really tell which button was left or right, depending on how you held it. Later revisions added a small divot to both buttons, which still failed to resolve the usability issue. https://bitbang.social/@NanoRaptor/112398864171699499

can you believe someone drew this as a vector illustration back in 1992?? found it on the cover CD of Personal Computer World, July 1994

@decryption You know that this vector would take a good minute to load up on Macs / PCs back in the day, all those calculations.

@jpm Do you need to have the brain injury before running Kubernetes, or does Kubernetes give you the brain injury? Both situations much of a muchness to me.

If they want to implement "age assurance" on the internet in Australia, to get to adult sites you should have to answer a pop quiz about how preferential voting works. No kid will know, and it will educate a bunch of people who should.

Finally upgraded to Debian 11. Accidentally removed PHP, which broke everything, but that’s all fixed now!

And now running Debian 12. Had to remove a few packages and then reinstall them after the upgrade, but from what I can see, all is well now.

Was I fucking drunk when I designed this board? I completely missed 2 GPIOs to control a LED and a switch on the schematic, and I used the wrong SERCOM for the I2C lines which means I now need to swap SCL and SDA.

This thing is a fucking mess.

Dear Commodore,

... seriously? A keyboard cable that's comparable to an old school SCSI cable for thickness and inflexibility.

There is no way to use this comfortably without just pretending it's not like it is.

It looks like something from @NanoRaptor

georgeharito,
@georgeharito@mastodon.au avatar

@NanoRaptor don’t forget to set the correct SCSI ID and terminate your keyboard properly.
