Same for the teenager part.

The Podcast (Dialogues instead of Monologues) is content for the older audience, though: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLet00UQnlQoUKqSB5-oFmr…

Facts: Game didn’t break the charts on day one.

Media: Game is struggling on Steam.

Facts: That’s not what the data say, in fact some games come out with a bang, others have a long…

Media: OmD, will Ninja Theory survive?!

Can’t have a healthier gaming industry if this passes for news, specially with that headline.

5th paragraph in, so they can say they weren’t doomsayers:

While the numbers don’t look great, there’s currently nothing to worry about with Hellblade 2.

Edit: added clarity that the post started with a “dialogue”.

Since it isn’t VC backed or publicly traded, I expect Proton to avoid the AI tech fever.

I guess I need to make my voice heard in that regard and answer the survey.

L. O. L.

Seriously though, reasonable discussion of its usefulness aside, how can’t people see that outrageous statements like that without any scientific or practical backing, clearly made to inspire devotion and/or fear, keeping the hype and the money and resources drain on, are the telltale of a tech hype?

It this actually true? For real?!

Can’t wait to go back from my parental leave and not be the last one to hear about important announcements because they were posted on FB. F that.

We are discontinuing Workplace from Meta so we can focus on building AI and metaverse technologies that we believe will fundamentally reshape the way we work,

Lol, can’t make this shit up!

Paperless-ngx that allows you to self host an easily browseable archive of your documents. Fully featured with OCR, ML-powered categorization and the works.

There seems to be a huge overlap in functionality. But a major difference is that Paperwork is a local application that runs on Windows and Linux, while Paperless has a web front end that makes it accessible anywhere (it also has some independently native apps for mobile).

Everything runs locally, OCR, ML, etc, which can be a bit taxing on lower end hardware, but there are ways to disable the more advanced and computationally expensive features, like NLTK for advanced Natural Language processing.

Your data is stored locally on your server and is never transmitted or shared in any way.

KeepassXC replied on that thread that it wasn’t just the privacy problematic networking that was removed:

that bug report is bunk. He removed ALL features, not just networking. That includes yubikey support, auto-type and browser integration.

Every 4-5 seconds? Yeah, logging.

You can either move the system dataset to your boot drive/pool or syslog to /var/log:

I’ve seem many users recommend a reboot after changing those settings.

Boy, are the example story and picture bad.

Was going to suggest opening an issue on the project page, but there’s this, was that you?

From the project’s GitHub page, this is the link: github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/tree/…/jniLibs

HeliBoard has been my chosen SwiftKey replacement: github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard

Features I value:

• Multilingual typing (as someone who writes EN, PT and dabbles on DE and NL daily, having to check which language I’m on and switch keyboards/layouts every time sucks)
• Glide typing (with optional closed source library)
• Clipboard history
• Comprehensive layout customization
• Autocorrect (with customizable level of confidence)
• Emoji selection and history

It does suck to see an app that I loved and paid for (yes, I used it for THAT long) get enshittified and try push AI* down my throat.

Not to mention M$ owning my typing history (which I kinda could live with).

RIP SwiftKey.

The latest release hints towards F-Droid availability: github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/releases/tag/v1.2

Just updating 1.1 APKs would have created issues with incoming F-Droid build.

Out of curiosity, which is the launcher you chose?

I froze the stock launcher at the last version without Ads. It works, but I guess some entries like “continue watching” could be bugging out now because it is out of date/never patched.

It seems they are in the middle of the road of merging SimpleLogin and Proton Pass.

I have Mail Plus ($4/month) and SL ($2/month) subs, as they’re the only services I need and cost less than the ~$10/month for Proton Unlimited, which is what I would need to pay for if I used both services from Proton.

Right now there’s this Proton Pass feature gray area, where I have Pass free, so I’m limited to 10 aliases, but the aliases I create on Pass have the custom domain I setup on SL, and show on my SL dashboard too. Weird.

The maintainer has been very welcoming of my patches.

The “downsides” I could enumerate are that the production app doesn’t get released as often as I would like (how entitled!) and, tbh, the code base is a bit messy, having inherited much code debt from the initial Reddit fork.

tinsuke, 2 months ago

I keep using Eternity and even contributed some patches to it because it is Open Source and Android native, which might sound like a low bar, but really:

Open Source

• It’s free
• I’m not the product. Really, even if some closed source alternatives have relatively cheap Ad and tracking free experiences, you’ll always be seen as the source of monetization. And I’m too weary of having paid for a good app only to see it try to twist my arm and squeeze more money or sell out to a big corp.
• I can fix what’s broken. If I find an issue with an otherwise unimportant part of the app, but that matters to me, I don’t need to wait and pray it doesn’t get forgotten. I can fix it myself and end up helping the devs and whole user base in the process.

Android native

• It shows. I use a 5 year old phone that still kicks ass. But the otherwise good cross platform alternatives out there make the user experience more jittery than is excusable. Even PWAs (Web Apps) are snappier than those!
• It is not a Flutter ListView powered timeline. Trust me, I’m lazy, and if cross platform frameworks were up to the task, I’d be among the first to endorse them. But they aren’t. Have you noticed that the timeline tends to “jump around” if you’re scrolling around on other apps? Yeah, the Android RecyclerView that Eternity uses doesn’t have that (apparently unfixable) problem.

Thanks Bazsalanszky!

What’s the app? I might check it out.

Does Nvidia have first party software for OC, fan curve, undervolt and OSD?

That’s what I use Afterburner currently for.

tinsuke, 3 months ago

My experience with the last Nvidia GPU generations is the opposite, the fan curves are too conservative temp wise. Your card will get very loud trying to maintain a ~70C temp target. This of course changes with manufacturer and model.

With a 3090 I suggest an undervolt (even a modest one works miracles for the power hungry top tier cards). And after doing that, you can also dial in a slower fan curve.

While finding a good undervolt is time consuming (please do test, stress the heck out of it, with different apps/games), it was a god send to me. And it helps a lot with keeping the memory cool, which is something I worried a lot with the ram chips on the back of the board that the 3090 has.
