Yeah whatever, go fuck yourself.
Sure. I think we mostly stand on the same line here. I just tend to take hard stance against anything I find user hostile. Nagging, dark patterns, exploiting addictions, attempts at leeching personal information,…
That was not intended to be read as a literal quote or an attempt to make it appear as if you said something you didn't. That's a fairly common way of picking a message apart to make a point, on some parts of the…

How about a bank account and a credit or debit card tied to it?
I think legislation is the only way to fix this :( Require owner's/user's consent to connect. If no consent, no connect. Device's offline capabilities must still work and it must not nag you or otherwise use dark…
Does yours beep if you don't open the lid in a minute after it turns off? Mine does and that is super annoying. Annoying enough that I'm thinking of removing the buzzer or just buying another microwave. I do like the…
If you're a genuine claimant, you have little to worry about because you don't make false claims.
> Finally, dynamic loading isn't even the right surface for messing with the behavior of existing binaries. Then what is? Dropping a custom library next to a binary tends to be way easier than modifying the binary.
I agree that shared libraries are mostly unneeded complexity, as far as free & open source programs are concerned. I kinda like how they open up opportunities for fixing or tweaking the behavior of broken proprietary…
It's not that hard. It just requires time, and I would be happy to spend that time (I love writing, whether docs or just thoughts). As long as there's no ticket for it (approved by a stakeholder and assigned to me by…
I don't think I'm ever going to approve of any sort of automated copyright claim system but if Google wanted to make it one bit fair, they should use the same concept of three strikes against the accounts that make…
For personal project my hard limit is 80 cols. For work stuff, mandated by employer, we do something like 120 cols with clang-format. Four or five columns of code side by side, so I can see hundreds of lines of code at…
GB5 = Geekbench 5. It is a real world benchmark.
It absolutely would. These cores are in a completely different class. If you care about benchmarks, a Pi4 will score around 200 points (1 core) or 550 points (4 core) at 1.5GHz on GB5. At 2GHz you can reach around 700…
Yeah, nice. I just assumed Amazon is representative of what most people would end up paying for them. For my region, the actual distributors start at 44 EUR for 2GB and 64 EUR for 4GB.
Well, he also needed to add a cooler and a bunch of tubes & eight mounts to get coolant running on each Pi, eight ethernet cables, eight power cables, a power supply with enough outputs, a 16-port ethernet switch, and…
2GB Pi is $55 on amazon. 4GB version is $62. That'd be $450+ for the eight pies. Ryzen 2700 launched at $300 (and tapered down to ~$200) and would pretty much run circles around such a Pi cluster. Just saying. These Pi…

Half marathon (~21km or ~13 miles).
It does not exist.
Yes, I know exactly why these annoying naggers are being annoying. I don't like it. And here I'm telling that maybe people should stop listening to annoying naggers and just dislike & close the tab, maybe block the…
What do I owe them? Nagging and soliciting subs and likes is fucking annoying. If you want me to like a video, make a good video and stop nagging. If I dislike those naggers enough, maybe Google's stupid artificial…
> For actual enjoyment, if a video starts begging for "like subscribe share" I just turn it off. I do too, but not without first hitting the dislike button. I only wish others would do the same.
