YES!!

When I stall and forget what the heck I was saying, thanks to this video I’ll sometimes just go “…uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…AEIOU…”

Probably about how I’d react to having to fix a component on a moon base too. XD

“Snake? SNAKE? Saaaaaaake 🍶…”

closed source and VC backed

Basically a non-starter at this point.

Maybe used to be these startups would compete for user affections by being more benevolent.

But nowadays the bare basics of even being competitive in the business is having a plan for gaining critial mass and then rapidly enshittifying for revenue before selling your product users to some new private equity overlords.

Open source used to be more of just a preference, or a virtue. Now it’s basically the only way to not guarantee your exploitation.

they do facial scanning and then put you in groups based on their assessment.

That’s…SO creepy.

Something about it isn’t as super-convenient like Discord but, Signal desktop has a pretty good screen presentation mode that works pretty well. I dunno how bad the latency is or anything though.

Some people must have friends who have faces for radio. Lol

back in my day Ventrilo

Ahh “Vent.” My biggest memory there is people trolling with the sign-on TTS.

“My ROFLCOPTER GOES SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI…”

Anybody remember the brief flash in the pan that was “X-fire”? Haha

And thaaaat’s why it’s head/tailscale or nothing for me. I’m smart enough to know I don’t know enough to be absolutely confident I won’t get SHODAN’d and end up crying over a home network catastrophe, never feeling truly secure ever again.

Every now and then it’s tempting to get those fun features in containers like Nextcloud, like public links and federation, but it’s not worth the risk IMHO. Not when there’s state-class adversarial bots written by stupidly smart people roaming the landscape. <_<

Aw thanks!

<3 long time lurker, seldom poster. 😂

Hoping to change that and contribute more. :)

(also to @luciferofastora@feddit.org)

Good point and agreed! I’m a little new to posting so I thought it was polite to include the source where I found it.

At first glance I thought the poster coincidentally found these images side by side in their gallery, and that’s where the humor was.

Even though that poster clearly got it secondhand too, I didn’t wanna be “ripping them off” lol.

I edited the post to include the raw image. Thanks for clearing up community expectations / culture for me though. :)

I dunno now I’m intrigued to check out emacs. Somehow I learned all the complex finger-ballet to operate Blender mostly by keyboard shortcuts as intended, so maybe that’ll soften the learning curve? :D

Now that’s how you do in-universe self-aggrandizing lol. Love GoG.

Okay cool, cool, so does this mean ridiculous data centers will use these things, and then can I get another 4TB RED for my NAS so I can fit my whole life on a mirrored total of 8TB without paying 8x what it’s worth, please?

Thaaaaanks…

This is not meant for human beings.

This is for like, Smaug but if he hoarded classic anime and the entirety of Steam or something. Lol

Thank you, yes, exactly what I meant. It’s a bit baffling such a mature project doesn’t have some kind of migration script. :(

Heads up if your Paperless is installed via Docker: be VERY CAREFUL about your database version and do an export often!

Mine has been down for a while because I did a pull and it doesn’t support my version of Postgresql anymore. So it’s kinda a huge mess trying to figure out how to safely migrate it in the container.

I haven’t been able to fix it yet so I’ve just left it disabled and gone without for a while. It’s not fun.

Allegedly if you export from within Paperless, you can just start with a fresh updated database container and import when this happens. Oof.

and one was Nvidia removing support for GTX1000 cards and older (Nvidia, WHYYYYYYYY?!).

Yeah this one REALLY sucked on my laptop still running a 960M. But hey, after the fix (which I think was just locking the driver package?) I just don’t gotta worry anymore, so that’s cool.

Woo! Tumbleweed is fantastic. I agree! I used to only do creative/productive stuff with it, but I finally moved all my gaming over a couple years ago and it’s been handling everything I’ve thrown at it, on Nvidia! Whereas Win10 was bluescreening Vermintide 2 and saying “This app is too old :(” for my older games.

I think the only thing Tumbleweed wouldn’t be great for, is capped Internet plans. X_X

Call them up on the 'phone to have a cancer.

Lots of contentious studies suggest this was totally a thing with some cellular technology! Lol

Wouldn’t mind if it were upgraded with some E2E goodness nowadays but otherwise…I kinda missed my chance to get it on it, I feel.

Honestly there probably are better solutions, but every time some Silicon Valley pet project gets a ton of venture capital and starts “disrupting” so it’s everywhere all the time . . . that’s what most people are gonna start using by default.

So we don’t get to see better options truly adopted, and it’s incredibly frustrating…
