This reminds me. I got some good quality Atta (Indian whole grain wheat flour) for making Rotis a few weeks ago. Haven’t even opened the packet yet.

Rapist mentality.

The stock market literally forces companies to be evil. Once you do an IPO, you’re contractually obliged to be shitty in order to bring higher revenues.

Or calling all kinds of art “content”.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Where are you, if I may ask? Their Intel offers are not based in the US. Most of the time, I’ll access it from inside US, so I’m worried about the latency.

PDFs are searchable, zoomable (i.e. don’t look like shit on high-res displays), are often much smaller, have nicer software for handling them (image viewers are usually not designed for this task), and so on.

I actually watched this video and decided to clean the filter. Pretty gnarly.

I actually use tags as directories in GMail. I can’t find shit otherwise. (Tangent: just how shitty is the search in Outlook? I can never find anything unless labeled in advance.)

I agree for the apps. But then they shouldn’t deal with files anyway. They should just access certain directories as permitted by the system, and those should also be exposed to the user.

Hard disagree on the documents (or anything else, really). One ends up emulating folders using tags anyway, and there’s no real way of doing it in a platform-independent way. Also, searching can be very annoying in many cases. For my research, I end up working with the same files for a few weeks straight. It’s much better if they’re in a folder, rather than searching them every time.

You do you, though.

The directory remark is unrelated to the Canvas one. I guess they didn’t have the app set up on their phone in that case.

Anyway, have directories been replaced? I’m having a hard time remembering any filesystem without directories. And we don’t need to put AI in every fucking thing.

I mostly agree with you. But it only works because users give in. They deserve some of the blame.

Sure, but they own their devices. They should know it. It’s a pretty regular thing to do, since most classes in my university use Canvas.

Also, many of them had both devices from Apple. I may dislike Apple, but Airdrop should work pretty well for this.

I teach math to undergrads, and damn it’s sad. They don’t know how to send a PDF file from their phone to laptop, and upload it to Canvas. One guy ended up emailing it to me. They don’t even know what a folder/directory is.

Without anything extra, there are three ways of doing it:

1. Using Tailscale Funnel
2. Direct port forwarding in your router, and pointing to the IP using some DDNS provider (e.g. desec.io)
3. Through Cloudflare tunnel (not recommended due to privacy reasons)

In each case, you’ll need a reverse proxy (e.g. Caddy) if you want secure https connections.

If you’re willing to spend money, the better way would be to proxy through a VPS (using something like a Wireguard tunnel). In that way, you won’t have to open ports on your home router. You can get a very cheap one since proxying doesn’t need much CPU power. Just choose one with enough bandwidth. I personally proxy most of my stuff through a $12/yr RackNerd VPS.

How I see it (and so do many others) is that this showed BJP that they won’t get away with anything and everything. That their religious politics is getting old. People want jobs, and growth.

Many thought that defeating BJP is simply impossible. If you followed the Indian media, you’ll know that Modi was portrayed as this irreplaceable leader. Many voted for BJP simply because they thought that they had no other option. This election showed them that it’s not true, that BJP can be defeated. If not anything else, we have a much stronger opposition now. BJP will have to think twice before making stupid decisions.

One of the greatest quotes of all time.

Or put some effort into finding new music? The algorithms have never suggested me anything good anyway.

Yeah, but enshittification will happen there too. It’s just a matter of time.
