All jokes aside, why do people even bother with vi?

This isn’t targeted at personal desktops. This is for enterprise use, where you didn’t own the data in the first place.

I assume lack of demand. In your own home, you’d be keeping the handle clean, and public washrooms often use the touchless sensor types.

People also just need to be more selective about where and how they automate.

For example, I wanted my coffee to automatically start in the morning. So instead of buying a “smart” coffee maker, I bought the dumbest possible one and a smart switch. Now, no matter what happens with that switch, the worst that can happen is I have to manually hit a button to get coffee.

The article writer got things confused. The meteor is the size of Dr Hans Pepper, not the soft drink Dr Pepper.

OpenLinkHub

I somehow came across a guy who seems to be doing exactly that first part for RGB control of Corsair products.

Dude will add support for your devices in a matter of days if it doesn’t already exist, and won’t even take donations for his project. The open source community is awesome sometimes.

I’m not asking everyone to be able to become a hardware specialist, but if you can’t even figure out “my computer gets hot” I’m not going to be able to trust anything you do. Identifying a heat issue does not take a rocket surgeon.

Could be a gen 5 nvme drive without adequate cooling. Them bastards can run hot. Especially the early gen 5 drives.

Yes, but this may be a symptom of an issue I’ve been seeing with younger programmers; they’ve siloed themselves so specifically into whatever programming they “specialize” in, that they become absolutely useless at dealing with absolutely anything else related to their job. And exasperating this issue is the fact that they’ve grown up with systems that “just work”. Windows, iOS, and android are all at the point where fucking around with hardware issues is very uncommon for the average person.

Asking this guy to solve a hardware problem is like asking hime to tune a carburetor. He likely has not the slightest clue how to start.

Since you can’t use your mirror anyway, just adjust it so that it reflects back at them.

So if I’m understanding correctly, once I get rich from winning the lottery, I should build myself a sleeper with a “Hideous and Horny Commune” bumper sticker on the back.

Is a wonderful tool for raising capital for startups or large purchases. It’s not a good source for reliable income once your project is no longer the new hotness.

The unavoidable problem is that things cost money. Everything Mozilla does costs money, from hosting their website to paying developers. If they are giving away the software free to users, where is the money going to come from? Previously (and I think currently) a lot of that money is coming from Google, but being beholden to that one company is not ideal. So Mozilla has to look for alternate income.

I can at least empathize with the shitty position they are in where they have to find a way to monetize enough to exist, without becoming just like Google.

Never thought of that. In my use case, Transmission is running in a container on my server, so it only ever has one connection, and VPN and traffic management happens on my router.

Do people still use transmission? That seems like be the default one I see in prebuilt torrent server containers.

The lack of nuance when discussing that conflict is one of the biggest issues I have. So many people seem to see it as “The Israeli genocide is bad, therefore Hamas is good”. In reality, you have shitty people with power fighting shitty people without power, and civilians getting shafted by both.

To be fair, I think game worlds could be the one place where the odd AI hallucinations could be fun as hell.

Maybe it’s just a generational difference, but when I was a teenager, who I thought was cool was usually just band members of my favourite bands. Since social media wasn’t a thing, there was nothing they were trying to sell us other than CDs, t-shirts, and concert tickets. Even then, there was usually a mental separation between the person and the art, so when the person turned out to be a trash bag, it had very little influence on fans.

On the plus side, it’s seems like most our our public response has ranged from “no thanks” to “here, let me warm up this poker real quick so you can go fuck yourself with it.” Hopefully Poilievre is somewhere in that range and not among the other minority.
