Mechanical keyboard. Almost had no money back then, but wanted to treat myself. It costed 100$, and I regretted it the next morning. Felt like shit, but it was so cool to type on.

After 5 years, this metal-frame keyboard managed to survive many outside gigs, long travels, literal war, and it's still with me. And I still love typing on it. Sometimes I code just to type. You can guess why I don't use code completion tools.

It might attract dust and other particles that slightly change the taste though

And it's dirt cheap

Before the war in Ukraine I had stable 1 Gbit/s for 5$/month with two dedicated IPs

Here in Ireland you get 100 Kbits/s sometimes because they can't pull you a fiber connection and 4G towers are overloaded to hell, and it costs 20-40€/month

People used to call me little Einstein, next Bill Gates and next Elon Musk (eww lmao) many times because of my ideas. Many of them may be revolutionary, but I can't even start working on them because I feel like my day is 5 minutes long... I feel severely disabled by ADHD

Gaskets brother, waterproof phones existed for a long time, they have been there since phones had SIM cards under their batteries

Look at things like mechanical watches where a watch that is rated for less than 100 meters of depth in dry test chamber is called "delicate" even though you can unskrew both the crown and the back with your hands on pretty much all of them

Yeah, like, how do you even help someone in two minutes?? They probably just see "oh, it's a bot" and leave

It's Web 2.0 dummy, Web 3.0 is crypto and NFTs

I actually think OpenStreetMaps have much more content. In my town Google shows roads and houses. OSM shows me everything down to fences, entrances, beach boardwalks, positions of every single trailer in our nearby tourist housing and more. This is critical when you're a delivery guy and you need to know where the entrance to the gated facility is. I used Waze to drive, and then OSM Viewer to walk. Even when you zoom in on an empty spot in Google, OSM shows type of land, elevation, where the trees are if there are any, who is the owner of the land if it's owned by a company. I also like that it shows what factories are called and their land border, instead of just unnamed boxes. Worked for me both in Ukraine and in Ireland.

If I recall correctly, Tesla was actually cash-negavite for like half a decade after Musk bought it, surviving off investors and SpaceX's success, I remember it was very big news when it finaly went cash-positive and subs like WSB were all over r/all

Chrome defaultism, and so websites are usually made for Chrome, often disregarding testing on Firefox completely, and so they work a bit worse here and there

Also no Google connectivity

That's the point, DRM would force everyone to use a "compliant" browser (Chrome, or extension-free Firefox etc), and the other browsers might not be able to show content; they may also lock the content from copying and editing without special tools, just like website video DRM works now

But we already see "sorry you're running adblocker so no content for you" websites, so I'm not sure if that's gonna change much

It is

I remember one time a guy was trying to add SDL (a programming library) to Visual Studio (code editor and IDE), and said that it wouldn't link to a project no matter what he's done. You can google how to do this in five minutes, with video tutorials and everything, it's like a basic thing every programmer does in that IDE. Like 5 question threads later, turns out he was "following all ChatGPT steps" and they were all complete nonsense, just random functions of Visual Studio done with the filenames of SDL.

For a long time it was ran on money that Durov made from VK and it's selling deal and had no ads, almost perfect development. It was a ton of money obviously, but we all knew it would run out sooner or later and then everything would change. I bought premium once because I wanted to support the project, and I still use it. Hopefully I won't have to use anything else, because I hate almost any other messenger.

Edit: forgot "would"

Steam Deck sure helped familiarize new users with KDE system.

I'm sure it's more but just not tracked/marked unknown due to users/distros not providing the info

I'm pretty sure the term Web 3.0 was created by cryptobros to promote their stuff

I don't think Lemmy counts because you are still using the head server instead of being self-hosted

It's what will be in your link. forhonor or for_honor are both good.

More like Linux Year of The Desktop Edition

Yeah, but Teams in Office? Is that really the main problem?

It happens often in media, but real scientists don't rely on what they think animals think, instead using objective data like brain activity scans, heartbeat rates etc, often presenting pure data without a conclusion on what they think the animal feels. Those studies will then come to media, where the interviewed scientists will give their thoughts on how they interpret the results, even if it's obvious that the animal likes/dislikes something. These also exist in media.

Edit: I also want to add that many things are straight up visibly harming the animal and you don't even need any conclusions. For example if you house a hole-dwelling spider without enough substrate to dig, it will stop eating. This has been confirmed many times, by many owners. It doesn't matter if it makes them uncomfortable or they feel pain from it, or they are cold, etc, because we know that they stop eating, and that's a good enough signal that something's bad.

I don't even know what people are scared of when they show me this

It looks like an unfinished render of Bart Simpson by a student 3D modeller

Edit: and there are like hundreds of images like this that are just a face which is stretched or contrasted or something

Used it every day when delivering, because there was much more detail than google maps, so I could actually see where fences and gates are. Used Waze to drive and OSM to walk.

My brain likes meta-analyzing everything and something like a shooter game basically looks often like Shooting Gallery A -> Guiding Light -> Safety Hall -> Shooting Gallery B -> Drop Gate and so on. Same with shows or movies, red flag drops and foreshadowing are so visible to me that I don't really watch anything unless it's something absurd, or very unique. All films feel the same, because you see the same structure, bare character archetypes, the same Disney-style writing, etc.

I like older games for that reason, because back then you didn't have things like online gamedev conferences where they teach you how to use a ruler, and often level designers were just random junior programmers or ex-modders that thought "this would be so sick" and made really iconic designs that are often unpredictable

Edit: I now realise that people like things like Cruelty Squad and Death Stranding for this exact reason too

Who up loaming they sand

I like how compared to Reddit world news are actually truly world news here

That's my first and only post in Lemmy

Literally in this sub also

You can just turn off receiving all messages from any user. This is specifically for people who told their friends that they don't want to listen to voice messages and want texts, but friends still use voices. Every one I know has a friend like that.

Singleplayer on the left, multiplayer on the right

Games I like lately:

• Space sims (Elite, Kerbal)
• Deep car simulation (BeamNG + Automation)
• Platformers or games with platforming (Hat in Time, Titanfall 2)

YOU build the Twitter community

Uhhh.. does she know what happened to Twitter during this year lol?

With thighs

It's called amd64 because AMD invented the x86-64 processor instruction set, it works both on Intel and AMD

I feel bad for anyone who works at any call center, it always either got some MLM vibes or managers are hell on earth

You can say something like "I've been here before the Steam Deck" or "I've seen the SystemD holy war" or any of the earlier changes around linux you've encountered

They probably meant that GNU holds half of the Linux desktop usage, and Chrome OS the other

Broken clock moment

LinkedIn is the very bottom pit of hell of mainstream social media

The source is satire

Yeah, Steam Deck costs a little more, can play newest AAA titles handheld, can play Switch games too, can buy a shit ton of games for cheap because of Steam Sales, and gives you a whole desktop if you plug it in a dongle. Also, it's an open system, so you can actually install any OS on it, if you like.
