My piHole is the one thing that lets me use my phone without getting bombarded with ads. Best choice of my life. Set up Wireguard to VPN when out and about too.

I feel like the original guides are good but maybe compiling braindead simple guides would help mass adoption.

I actually kinda agree with this.

Even if a commandline tool has more power, utility and flexibility than a gui tool, guis let you drill down into the core workflow of what your software is meant to do. At a minimum, it lets you segment what your regular users are expected to do from what your power users could use your software to do.

Additionally, if you intend for your software to be used by non-software adjacent users, a commandline interface is just asking for people to get lost/confused.

At work, we use ROS on some of our systems and while the commandline tools are simple to someone who works in the ecosystem, knowing what to look at when things go wrong is tricky.

Even a simple gui in tkinter that shows statuses or shows a list of topics and lets you print them out is leagues above the commandline when it comes to how much I need to be involved in other peoples' problems.

It is a luxury to be knowledgeable in software concepts and I think software devs/power users forget that often.

It's kinda the antithesis of caring if they can't even get a real person to do it...

I just miss the original online MP.

In my limited memory, it was one of the few third person team based-shooters with good game modes for the medium.

Interrogation was honestly my favorite mode just from all the different ways it could play out with the crafted items and teamplay options. And this was back originally in PS3 era!

Very disappointed that we can't even get something close for modern platforms/PC cause it was one of my go-to MP experiences on console.

It has a subtitle though that it lets you attach a note to super likes. I don't think it's blanket, "Message anyone freely" like the VIP tier implies.

I've almost been getting upset with engineering as my career because I really enjoy doing it, but am absolutely exhausted with doing it at work that I can never bring myself to do it at home. All my hobby PCB designs or programming projects take a back seat because they require a lot of time and thought.

It really is a shame that STEM pays so highly that it may as well be a requirement if you're not going to do trades or something with a boatload of overtime attached to it.

From my limited understanding, it mostly seems like misattribution of all the very obvious chaos and uncertainty about "grand" events like climate change, economical strife, etc.

It's less that someone holds pancake planet as their sole belief but more a web of interconnected beliefs that would explain the true cause of these nebulous events if they were true.

Not that it makes the outcome any better that people choose a more palatable ideological narrative over reality but there is a part of me that recognizes ignorance would be more blissful.

or acquiesce to Teamster demands that could worsen the company's labor cost disadvantage versus nonunion rivals in an inflationary environment.

If the Teamsters negotiate a good deal, I feel like it'd create more pressure for other shippers to unionize... Also, this corpo-speak is atrocious.

So as far as I'm concerned, take UPS to the cleaners and pave the way for everyone else.

TIL, the formatting on Wordpress is horrible for mobile. Nice post though.

I guess I'm just disappointed that Spez and co. are pulling a Weekend at Bernie's to cash out before letting Reddit die. The naked greed that they're probably going to get away with just makes my head spin.

Very baked.

So, they very clearly need to double the beans... But also, how many iterations of beans can Lemmy support? 128? 256? Can we get over 1024 beans? What does 1000 beans even look like?

We must press on!
