"I can imagine the dev team for this in 2025. Just two senior devs who hate each other yet have worked on only this for the past 20 years in a forgotten corner,”

Lol.

Holy crap - I remember when I used to think Nenshi was a potential for federal leader. He _changed_ man, he changed.

[asshole #jordanpeterson saying dumb shit, no lobsters]

The #facebook ++ algorithm clearly picked up on my utter disdain and revulsion of #jordanpeterson so in true form, decided that I need to see more of his bullshit.

cvs.. now there's a command name I have not heard from in a loong time...

Actually that's the one thing I miss from rcs/cvs days tha I wish were in git - the `$Id$` and `$Log$` macros, keeping the revision history IN the source itself, that would be handy for scripts and whatnot that […]

Do any of these CMS and online-ad platform/network #productmanagers realize that if they were to just go back to unobtrusive only-static-image ads embedded in the html of the page itself I would fucking put eyeballs on those? But noooo, we gotta have modal popups and pay-gates and […]

No, my #adblocker is preventing your #ADs from loading. The fact that the REST of your page refuses to load if the ads dont load, well that sounds like a YOU problem.

@jon @Vivaldi

For sure, no need for a laptop if your phone IS your mobile computer. For a vast majority of us, 90% of what we do is browser based anyways, so very excited for this to be coming back.

You never would have been able to try this on BB at the time - we had a micro-usb dock with […]

New @Vivaldi release on mobile. Finally we have 2 level tab stacks on iOS and we are putting significant efforts into desktop mode on Android. I am very excited about that. The idea that you can just connect your phone to a dock with keyboard, screen and mouse and have a fully working computer […]

I've been playing #arcradiers since launch on both #ps5 and an 8 yr old #gtx1080 #PC. I can't tell much difference visually between the two, but on my PC I'm CPU (not GPU) bound to about 40 fps, which I can live with.

A super hottie at the club back in the day invited me back to their place to _"fix their computer."_

I declined - I had leant my toolkit to a friend and didn't have my backup drive on me (important to prevent data loss) and suggested […]

A message especially for my Canadian male followers out there today, but it applies to all.

If you see a story from a woman calling out the behaviour of a man, believe them. Yes, believe them over the 'bro’, especially when there are multiple […]

So, im giving `syncthing` a try because there's an official-ish android app fork for it, and its otherwise #FOSS on desktop (#linux at least). And I know that I could self-host my own discovery and pairing relays. Oh and the last de-#enshittification task on my journey to #selfhost emancipation […]

or, I could use something that is designed to do this natively.
When I daily drove Windows, I used the `AirDroid` desktop and mobile clients. It worked great but the discovery, pairing and sync go through THEIR infrastructure. ANd its not free.

Well, I had to give up on the #rsync approach - rsync over #MTP seemed to have issues with copying some file metadata that rsync would need to handle incremental updates. Subsequent rsyncs would re-copy _everything_. Boo.

Likewise using […]

omg switching to #linux a year ago was such a good idea. I #jmtpfs mounted my new #android phone via #USB and now I'm #rsync ing my #mp3 collection to it.

Its #Easter coming soon, and while I don't go in for any of the #religious stuff, I do mark the return of easter candy. In particular #LauraSecord eggs.

For the non-#Canadians, these are like #Cadbury #CreamEggs except 10x better and they come in adult sizes.
