I often think about "computer bad" and similar defeatism — so much is fixable via training, customization + just not buying garbage (which requires money, money solves a lot of problems!).

I'll never understand folks complaining about something they have the means to fix.

@fasterthanlime also, French people are apparently known to complain a lot. The whole "the Olympics will surely fail" vibe seems like something that wouldn't happen elsewhere.

I think the film I just watched doesn’t pass the reverse bechdel test?? (there’s no conversation between two men about something other than a woman)

@fasterthanlime which is not a bad thing I guess?

The Bechdel test seems more like a tool which was designed to prove a point about a corpus but isn't refined enough to actually say something relevant about a single movie 🤷

I would really like to see a Microsoft person try to explain why Windows, even on a corporate machine like this, comes with Disney+, Roblox, Pinterest, shitty Gameloft games & co pinned to the start menu. Which company admin wants their employees to have this?

@Techaltar yeah, came back to windows after ~5 years working on Linux and I have to say the experience is pretty harsh :

  • Ads everywhere, including the lockscreen where I explicitly disabled it (but apparently ads for Bing's LLM don't count)
  • Bloated : the OS takes 140GB on a 200GB drive. Uploading a file from a browser takes 75% CPU
  • Constantly push edge
  • It is sooo unstable, I thought Linux was the nerdy OS that required constant tinkering, but I never spent so much time fixing buggy shit

So many of the new Windows laptops have MicroSD slots and I can't for the life of me figure out why. Full Size SD? I get it and I want it! Anyone with a large camera will probably want that. But who still uses MicroSD these days? Barely any phones have MicroSD slots anymore. What am I missing?

@Techaltar I'm kinda protected as I don't see too much recommanded content (Mastodon doesn't have any and I only see subscription on Newpipe for YouTube, when on my phone).

Although I have to agree that when it happens it's very anoying. When Diablo 4 was out it was very hard to find any information. Searching for an answer always led to a website that consisted of generic informations about the game (eg. date of release, publisher ...) and finally some evasive sentence answering the question.

Berlin - Munich in 3:57 today if all goes well with this ICE. On time so far 🤞🤞🤞

@Techaltar and I also love how the best speed ever recorded in France is 573 km/h (non commercial), which is only a few dozens less than the extremely expensive magnetic levitation line in Japan (which I assume is only non-commercial for now).

@steamdeckhq did Diablo 4 get less boring or does it just get the traction from the licence ?

@legoktm do I just need to update the alt text ? I added a "Rémi Dupré, CC BY-SA" mention in EXIF metadata but Mastodon legitimately trims them.

@till @davidrevoy I'm pretty sure it was done by hand, with a little stick and a picture for reference 🙂

@davidrevoy @till it was! Their process is to have you show a picture on your phone, then they take a picture of it with their phone 😅 So this part is also pretty much handmade in some way 🙃

@Eamon1916 @loadingartist ahah I get you, I spent some much great time playing LoL and Minecraft with friends during high school. Now that I grew older I prefer hanging out with my friends and playing video games when my social gauge is empty.

Plus, playing online games is much more enjoyable when everybody you know has the exact same schedule 😅

Congratulations to Twitter for managing to put the "ad" label into the least visible spot I've seen yet. Took me 20 seconds to find it.

remidupre,
@remidupre@mas.to avatar

@Techaltar clickrate must be optimal 👌

I've been working in a company who decided at some point that every modification must be "rational", surprisingly we discovered that the less the "ad" mention is visible, the more clics we got 😱 That's the point where I left, similarly to Twitter we were on a race trying to be profitable.

I keep hearing from a very loud group of people that "nobody wants foldables" and yet every statistic I see says the exact opposite

@Techaltar since the beginning my opinion was that without compromise (durability & price) this sounds like a great feature. However I am not glad this were the smartphone industry pushes innovation, I would prefer a focus on durability but I don't think it would sell as much.

If you're on Windows or macOS and want to upgrade to Thunderbird 115 right now, you don't need to wait for the auto-update.

Just download the installer at https://thunderbird.net, and install it over your existing version. This is effectively a manual upgrade from 102 to 115.

If you're using Linux, well, it gets more complicated... For now, we recommend waiting for your distro's maintainers to send it your way. Or wait for our Flatpak release, which should happen very soon.

@thunderbird it appears people are already getting excited about the near release of v115 on flathub 😉

@fasterthanlime Rust makes you forget how hard is concurrency.

I've just spent a full day on concurrency issue for a Python/gunicorn app finding a bad solution (triples RAM and CPU usage) while it would have been optimally solved in 10 minutes using Rust's RwLock...
