You: making computers do more work (AI, LLM, crypto)

Me: making computers do less work (only using a shell, turning off useful OS functionality because it consumes a couple megabytes of RAM, writing everything in C, using the slowest computer I can find with the lowest carbon footprint, using plaintext protocols because math is a waste of resources)

we are not the same

> writing everything in C
E-e-eww! What a bloat! True minimalists use assembly… Wait, no — they write opcodes right in hex! 😏

I really want to get myself one of those robot vacuum cleaners, but every time I realize what amount of work it is to root one and make it usable with something like Valetudo, I'm get like: "A-ah, fuck it!"

noticed I only had 3% battery left on the phone. don't quite know how it happened

m0xee,

Older batteries that could suddenly go from 15-20% to like 3% required recalibration, but I don't see this with new batteries often 🤷

I've decided that I don't like the default roundness of the rounded squares inside Arcticons. So I'm going through all the icons to change them 🙃

I think it looks more modern and friendly this way :)

Post link if you're serious. Not that I hate roundness, I just like when it's subtle 😜
This indeed looks more modern, but I think that is the problem with modern UI design: they overdo it.

The question in the subtitle is stupid on so many levels 🤦
Like yeah, when your money is losing value and you can't save, that's a very reasonable thing to do — convert that money, which is losing value, into something that might be losing its value less. And as most people can't really "diversify their investments", that's what they do — they start buying things.
Can't believe that this is The Atlantic 😩

m0xee,

@Komnene
Yeah, consumerism is also a problem — most would spend their money not on something that would enable them to earn more and not even on something that would increase their quality of life, but on something completely useless.
But it's a different problem — same as perceived inflation that they often refer to in these articles.
And yet high inflation is usually a quite clear message from central banks: it's time to spend, not to save.

@kaia @finlaydag33k

m0xee,

@Komnene
If you ask me, what they are attempting to do with articles like that is to send mixed messages, so some (businesses) get the message right and start investing, and others (consumers and people who work day to day jobs) don't: "Just trust your monetary and financial institutions, are you stupid?!"
Nothing good will come out of this IMO.
I might be wrong and this article could be about something else — but I won't hold my hopes high, not with a subtitle like that.

I would pay so much money to shadow/audit an American high school classroom for one day, just to see how these fucking idiots function.

Like what are they teaching them? Are they even trying to teach them anything at all? Or do they just watch dancey videos for 6 hours and go home?

m0xee,

@r000t
Fair point, but where do they grasp that idea from? I grew up using email and for me it always made sense, for younger people — even if they aren't particularly dumb, the concept that they might use different software on the same device to access their stuff and keep their address — using an alternative client, might already be pretty novel.

This should basically be a legal requirement:
If you sell a piece of hardware that requires a cloud service to run you need to also provide a replacement that users can use when your company fails/shuts down/pivots whatever. It doesn't need all the fancy features but should keep the object in question's basic functionality working

Most smartphones would have to ba labelled then, because almost all of them rely on Google or Apple infrastructure at least for notifications — when and if those go offline, their users would be in serious trouble.
Of course, there is UnifiedPush, but I'm not even sure installing something like ntfy is possible on Android that comes preinstalled on most phones.

This is making the rounds re: Signal being run by activists of the US state dept for regime change

Not what you ask for, but my reason not to trust it:
https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/112529843691683740
No hard proof, it's only indirect, but after that PR-stunt campaign of attempting to block it and failing to do so, Telegram is one IM that I, being Russian, trust the least.

m0xee,

@Hyolobrika @kravietz @feld
To be fair — I don't trust Signal either, anything that uses phone numbers is a hard pass in my book as I can never trust cell carrier in Russia.
But double-ratchet that was pioneered in Signal was adopted in Matrix, XMPP with OMEMO and plethora of other messengers, there is no reason to use Signal itself 🤷

ERROR: Unsupported linker, only bfd, gold, and lld are supported, not ld.bfd.

Fucking buildsystems (meson this time), none of them are good.

m0xee,

@lanodan @kirby
Meson still sucks though 😂

m0xee,

@lanodan @kirby
meson is as good as autotools, except it's python instead of m4. With both I can see why things break and fix it, would that be idiomatic? Not so sure. I don't get why people hate autotools — sure, it's lots of generated boilerplate code, but you can figure out what ti does just by looking at it. Unlike CMake — which is pure evil!

m0xee,

@lanodan @kirby
Yes, that is so! It's only "fixable" in a sense that you can make some software get built right here right now, finding fundamental flaws and submitting the fix upstream would sure take a lot of effort, but with CMke even that is impossible, because I just don't understand how it works under the hood, it's just a black box.

m0xee,

@lanodan @kirby
Not quite a black box, as I still have it's source, but that would be fixing CMake, installing fixed CMake, it would have nothing to do with software itself 🤷
