In-reply-to » Had to go to the office today. Leaving the house, some nice reddish spots appeared in the sky, probably saw a hedgehog and by the time I reached the train station, the sunrise had fully emerged. Unfortuntely, I did not have a camera with me, so I had to enjoy this super crazy, ultra red sky on the platform and can't show you anything. It was easily one of the most beautiful sunrises of this year. A very large section of the sky was very, very red.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh nothing has changed for me 🤣 I stay away from humans as much as possible, never shake hands, refuse to use public transport, etc, etc

In-reply-to » @bender Hahaha! :-D To make it clear, I'm not one of those esoteric radiation jerks. I simply don't have enough use cases to justify one. And then comes the absolutely horrific UX I'm not willing to deal with. Lots of people love it, I just don't. Finally, in this day and age I do enjoy that I'm not reachable everywhere. There's not even a chance of getting distracted. All my good mates don't have an issue with that, at least they do not admit it. ;-) Of course there are people that think I'm silly, but I don't care about them.

This is the primary reason why I NEVER install “Work” apps on my iPhone. I’ve gotten into the habit for many years now, never to mix work and personal stuff. If I’m not on my Work Macbook, I’m not available – end of story.

In-reply-to » Hmmm, I noticed that tt is incorrectly counting unread messages. There's currently one unread one, but it says 0. When I mark it read, the counter goes to -1. It certainly worked a few weeks back. I probably should work on version 2.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Off-by-one eh? 😅

In-reply-to » The Philips Hue ecosystem is collapsing into stupidity Philips Hue products are about to get a whole lot worse – even the ones you already own. Their latest round of stupidity pops up a new EULA and forces you to take it or, again, you can’t access your stuff. But that’s just more unenforceable garbage, so who cares, right? Well, it’s getting worse. It seems they are planning on dropping an update which will force you to log in. Yep, no longer will your stuff Just Work across ... ⌘ Read more

This should be illegal.

In-reply-to » @prologic Not much, really. Went out for a long walk this morning since temperatures are finally down to a comfortable range. Now I’ll have a coffee and play some more Quake 4. 😅

I play chess, is that considered retro gaming?! 😆

In-reply-to » ESP32 board equipped with Ethernet and MicroSD card slot One of the latest embedded products launched by LILYGO is the T-ETH-Lite which is based on the ESP32-S3 module with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

AmaIng that on these plane WiFi networks, clearly powered by satellites, even get this much bandwidth 🙃

Latency is pretty piss poor, but you kind of expect that with a moving target 🤣

In-reply-to » Omg! I'm always playing on those pixel placing canvases, where it's usually an endless war of factions or just things being attacked for no reason, but now someone did the most wholesome thing imaginable and drew another inugami facing mine and drew them shaking paws. Media

@thecanine@twtxt.net Very cool! 👌

In-reply-to » @eapl.me The reason I was asking was specifically @fachex mentioning another open source OTP app that's been audited and verified. So was thinking of switching out the OTP app I use on my phone 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I didn’t know that, thanks! I generally don’t use the password manager on iOs or macOS even for that matter though, but thanks 👌 I do however recommend it to family/friends (but with iCloud turned off for obvious reasons)

In-reply-to » How is everyone finding GitHub CoPilot? 🤔 Good / Bad ? 🤔

@thecanine@twtxt.net Agreed, I find it rather ironic really. First Microsoft stole everyone’s open source works, without asking, without acknowledgement, Now they’re giving CoPilot free to use to all those they stole from?! 🤦‍♂️ LIke da fuq?!

In-reply-to » @prologic 1. It's criminal: Copilot was only possible because of massive theft of other peoples' work (no compensation or even acknowledgement to any of the developers whose code was used to create Copilot) 2. It's positioned to put software developers out of work or so fully de-skill them that they no longer know how to code anything but prompts (after which come corporate-justified salary and benefits decreases)

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah I feel the same way. On both points 👌 I find it ethically immoral to use CoPilot specifically.

In-reply-to » Circles do not exist However almost every “circle” you can see in printed media (and most purely digital ones) are not, in fact, circles. Why is this? Since roughly the mid 80s all “high quality” print jobs have been done either in PostScript or, nowadays almost exclusively, in PDF. They use the same basic drawing model, which does not have a primitive for circles (or circle arcs). The only primitives they have are straight line segments, rectangles and Bézier curves. None of these can be used to express a cir ... ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » CNCF Microsurvey: Training helps developer careers and pay, but lack of time and cost hinder efforts Technology continues to change rapidly, and companies need workers competent in the latest skills to lead their industries and avoid falling behind. But something needs to change, underscores a recent CNCF microsurvey of about 135 contributors from around... ⌘ Read more

@cncf@feeds.twtxt.net How about less complexity?! 🤣
