We used to have apps that didn't require much more than working machine to run it on. Nowadays we need also internet, modern OS, separate in-app account and also we have to watch ads inside the app. If this isn't absurd then I don't know what it is. #modern#software#apps
By now it's probably mostly forgotten fact, but if you're in for some 16-color 32x32 .ICO nostalgia, the Moricons.dll is still available even in Windows 10 (not sure about 11). Look for it at %SystemRoot%\System32\moricons.dll. #retrocomputing#msdos#windows3x#windows
EDIT: @SkySorcerer confirmed it's present also on Win11
Feels weird to run #AshesOfTheSingularity for the first time on my RTX 4070 just now, several months after I bought that GPU. CPU limits it to 70FPS but at least finally I can run it on "Crazy" (highest) preset on 2560x1440 res and it's not a stopmotion movie like it used to be on GTX 1660TI (and 1920x1080 res). And it looks just spectacular, too... #PCgaming#PCMasterRace
Seriously, who thought using just password to login and allowing just one session to be active is a good idea?
All it takes is reconfiguration of Wifi adapter to get you locked out of your router config webpage for who-knows-how-long (or force you to reboot it).
You know what would be cool? Having private notes on #Mastodon profiles. That way when I block someone, a year from now on I could quickly recall why I blocked someone.
In other words, stop gaining knowledge from #chatgpt and #stackoverflow, use manuals instead - because those contain a lot of useful info that will make your #bash scripts more performant.
Ciekawym skutkiem ubocznym #strajkrolnikow jest to, ลผe drastycznie spadล ruch samochodowy do i z #wroclaw, a przynajmniej od pรณลnocnowschodniej strony. Mimo ลผe jest zwฤลผenie z trzech do jednego pasa z jednej strony Sobieskiego i zablokowany pas z drugiej, to do pracy dojechaลem tak samo "wolno" jak w normalny dzieล roboczy, za to wracaลem juลผ jak w ferie czy inne wakacje (tj. szybko).
Moลผna wiฤc powiedzieฤ, ลผe dziฤki chimskiemu gackowi i home office, strajk rolnikรณw przyniรณsล skutki odwrotne do zamierzonych bo ci co mogli to siฤ wycwanili i po prostu pracowali z domu.
So, a TV (already LED but not quite "Smart") has ability to disable the screen so you can hear audio from TV station while not watching it and don't wear the screen down (and pay for wasted power). Great. But... There's NO WAY to disable the screen when playing media off USB. That option is there but it's "unavailable".
My use case? Listen to some hour-long podcast from USB stick while laying on my couch. Impossible on this TV because some braindead management/development decision. #rant
#scaleway just mailed me apologies and 3-month voucher for charging me for my object storage bucket in December. Turns out they intended to notify me upfront but somehow their mailing tools missed me so I didn't get the upfront notification.
