I just cannot comprehend how anyone can look at post brexit UK and think "yes, I want the same for my country"

One of the main reasons I still pay for Spotify is because it is very cheap in my country, specially when splitting a family plan. However I noticed that the user experience has gone downhill over the past years.

I remember when I could seamlessly switch playback devices, from my car to my phone, to my computer and them a Chromecast almost instantaneously. Now I'm lucky if my devices recognise each other even if they are on the same network.

And if you have a poor internet connection, the app is near unusable because it tries yo grab online content first before checking whatever is downloaded. Time and time again I have to put my phone on aeroplane mode just for the main menu to load, it is so frustrating and this didn't happen some 5-6 years ago

Teams also sets itself to autostart with Windows, even if you choose not to, or diabale it from the startup manager, it overrides it upon next launch.

It's the only software I've ever seen doing that crime against humanity.

A pancake is a cake you make in a pan.

It broke my mind when I learned that one

it's a GUI for yt-dlp

  1. It happened to my country subreddit. The moderator migrated to lemmy and locked down the sub in protest to the api changes. An admin forced it open and it's now a cesspool of facsists and ring wing idiots.

yes

My previous employer used to donate to the sole maintainer of a php library we used extensively (I'm not a php developer, so I don't remember the name). It wasn't much, but it was something and it is unfortunate that it is not the norm

SanDisk has an entire line of USB C thumb drives, they are my to-go choice

be respectful to Ladas, they can survive a carwash

don't be fooled by the name, KDE connect also works on GNOME and even Windows. It is a truly wonderful app

that's the reason why we got Xbox 360 instead of Xbox 2

NATO alphabet, or any phonetic alphabet for that matter.

It will take you less than an hour to learn it and doesn't need to be perfect, Mark or Mike, your interlocutor will know you mean the letter M

I'm glad they're back to in person events, their online stuff didn't kept my interest over the past couple of years.

Looking forward to this event

Finally I could go to a silent disco with my own headphones !

I just reviewed a PR today and the code was... bad, like unusually bad for mycoworkers and left some comments.

Then my coworker said he used chatgpt without really thinking on what he was copypasting.

Damn, I just missed on the thong

not defending the author, but there were plenty of people with a "no windows no buy" mentality prior to the steam deck release.

It is surprising to still see them around.

Xbox underground episode is wild

In order to use the resizable BAR/SAM feature, you need a compatible CPU and GPU. This would make it possible to use older CPUs but you'll still need a compatible GPU which I think it's series 2000 and newer for nVidia, so no.

edit: technically you also need a compatible motherboard, but seems like most of them are, never hurts to double check

Their Red exclusive show was such a disappointment, I stopped following them after that

Another common argument I've heard is regarding crime and criminals. Some politicians in my country tout that you cannot arrest criminals and we spend a fortune maintaining jails as if they were 5 star hotels. This is of course not true, but it does rail up the tough on crime crew who believe the only reason crime is rampant it is because it somehow allowed by human rights.

Since human rights are international agreements, it makes for an easy scape goat for those who believe in crazy conspiracy theories

fzf does the job

People will still be able to screen record entire shows and use commercial skipping technology on it. It might even end up where popular channels end up getting distributed as pirated material through torrent

This already happened with YouTube Red exclusive shows and it will happen again

don't? we have both thoughts AND prayers

I think Android WebView is open source as part of AOSP, but yes, it is Android only.

I had no idea about this, thanks for sharing

can confirm, when I used to work for a government contractor, everything was HP. From laptops to servers, from mice to printers.

incidentally I just saw a roadster 1 yesterday, gorgeous car. But it's just a rebadged Lotus Elise

The fact that they changed the default library view from playlists to a random mix of playlist, artists, albums and podcasts without the option to choose just one category is baffling. I'm all for user options, but not by taking user choice away

her podcast (which is just the audio of her videos) keeps getting pushed to my Spotify feed. I don't even use Spotify for podcasts nor I even listened to her at all on said platform. She must be spending a pretty penny in that algorithm push

the other way around, Breezy is still under development and got a release two weeks ago

It seemed like for every 5 of their releases, I would find one interesting.

You can tell the difference between the episodes researched by them and their research team. I still listen to them from time to time, their recent series on the Survival on the Andes is harrowing, one of their best episodes in recent times.

I’ll offer a mixed review for carhartt…while they used to be strictly workwear, they’ve started putting up retail spaces in designer clothing areas.

Carhartt and Carhartt Work in Progress are two different brands, the former is the good workwear one, the later is the designer fashionable stuff. Stick to their non WIP stuff

Twice I've been blocked out of my account, the first time it was because I was accessing from too many different IP address (VPN). The second time.I didn't even bother to contact support and was willing to loose my account.

Also, I recall many years ago in the early days of the app there was an app update that would straight up not work on my phone and had to sideload an old apk in order to keep using it. And according to google I wasn't the only one.

Took me a few months of manually testing new updates until a newer version worked for me. Not to defend Facebook or Twitter, but a fuck up like that one would never make it past their QA teams.

I really liked the new backgrounds. They would make mice wallpapers

for real, my local rhythm games community is split among 3 different servers (that I know of) organising meet ups is a challenge nowadays

Xbox underground is great story too.

I had a friend working at Microsoft in the Xbox division during that time who recommended me that podcast.

I used to pay for Dropbox about a decade ago, I replaced it with a raspberry pi running syncthing with an USB drive attached to it
