vscodium is pretty toothless compared to the first-party vscode builds. i forget the exact details, i think i was having issues with the dev container plugins not working at all.

i’ve been using zed.dev with all of the AI features turned off and its been nice. it’s probably a matter of time before they enshittify too, but for now i’m enjoying it.

every once in a while i get captcha blocked by the search providers. its a little annoying but i can restart the tunnel to get my searches back

imo this and the enshittification of games are symptoms of the same root cause. games are too big and expensive now. one auteur on a 1000 person team can’t have the same level of impact as one auteur on a 10 person team. they definitely have fewer opportunities to develop their reputation/skill/style on big teams

yes, i think flappy bird had a really elegant onboarding/tutorial:

1. main menu screen, tap to start
2. the tap flaps the bird
3. you fall to the ground, learning that you need to repeatedly tap to fly
4. before any obstacles appear, you get some time to calibrate your rhythm
5. obstacles start appearing and the game starts

each chat/social network represents a different tier of intimacy with a person. i am mutuals with a lot of people on IG who i’d never give my number to, and i chat with them occasionally.

this is an impossible question. mmbn has unique gameplay and a grassroots pvp scene. mmz is the mega man 2d platforming formula perfected.

if my consumer products company, out of nowhere, made two series of top performing chips at different price points, i’d also want to put them everything

im really picky when it comes to resolution scaling since i do some design, so i have to use an integer scale. 5k gives me a 1440p monitor’s worth of screen real estate at twice the sharpness.

27" fits more comfortably on my desk with a laptop mounted too. 220ppi is just nice to have.

holy price but the xdr being 5k 27" miniled 120hz is kind of my perfect monitor

i dont think any journalist, especially a technology journalist, should be using AI summaries in any capacity as part of their research. i’m glad he owned up to it but this should be a career damning event.

if you can afford the hardware, getting something dedicated like a JetKVM is nice because you don’t have to wait for VNC software to boot. since it acts like a monitor and keyboard, you can even enter BIOS with it. JetKVM sells an extension board that you could hook up to your server motherboard’s power buttons to turn it on/off too.

for fully software solutions, i like using apollo on the server and moonlight on the clients. it’s built for game streaming, but it works for remote desktop too. i have apollo and moonlight installed on a bunch of my devices anyways so this saves me from installing an additional client most of the time.

at one of my jobs a long time ago a copywriter had that extension on their work machine and published something like “upload files to my butt” to the official company site

i love your spirit but you’re delusional or your friend is stupid or both

honestly these are all landfill. even iphones can emulate games at this point.

infuse is a good jellyfin client. there’s a free tier but im not sure of the limitations.

i hope your clean hands can bring home all of the people ICE disappeared

1. i am pragmatic enough to understand how to do my best to reduce the harm done on my innocent countrymen
2. i can do this while supporting grassroots initiatives to change the power structure.

what’s the outcome of mass disillusionment? are the Cool Socialists ready to replace the electoral system? because to me it seems way more likely that the Worse Fascists will benefit the most from mass disillusionment.

i can’t believe after the dissolution of checks and balances and the ongoing kidnapping of hispanic people nationwide we’re still having this conversation.

obviously newsom is actively awful. but calling it “both candidates want to fuck the world” is so narrow-minded knowing everything that is happening to america every day right now.

it’s frustrating to be an american and be given two choices who both suck. one choice sucks so much more. not playing along in this fucked up democracy puts american people in danger.

this is the perfect image for the headline
