monotropism

Oh goddamnit not another one! I always just labeled that quirk as a symptom of my ADHD lol

As a neurodivergent who has aphantasia and can’t visualize, not like this at all. For me it’s more like, what I need is there when I need it (usually), not in a visual sense but a conceptual sense.

Copilot / LLM code completion feels like having a somewhat intelligent helper who can think faster than I can, however they have no understanding of how to actually code, but are good at mimicry.

So it’s helpful for saving time typing some stuff, and sometimes the absolutely weird suggestions make me think of other scenarios I should consider, but it’s not going to do the job itself.

I use Groupy by Stardock for this. It’s a neat little tool that lets you make pretty much any application into a tab by grouping them.

It isn’t open source nor free though, and I didn’t even realize there was a Groupy 2 until I searched it to get you a link. For something I use daily, it was worth it for $10.

Kids are stupid xD. My bike memory like that is our parents for one of those BMX bikes from a garage sale. The ones with the bars coming out the wheels for tricks.

My sister, brother, and I decided those were for carrying additional people, so obviously having one driving, one standing in the rear, and one standing on the front would be fun. But in our infinite wisdom we decided going down the concrete driveway was a bad idea, so we decided to go down the dirt hill (which had a steeper incline).

We had one tame wipeout and decided to go for round two. This time we made it to the bottom of the hill (where the trees and branches/debris are) and wiped out. It wasn’t pretty lol. No hospital but a few road rashes (or the dirt equivalent) and other various cuts and bruises led to us going inside to our mom for intervention.

She was not happy. The next day, the bike was gone.

I’ve only had to contact them for trust and safety reports and they’ve been pretty responsive, despite usually not telling you the outcome (the outcome is pretty easy to find out anyway). I’m glad I haven’t had to contact them for other stuff though, since I’ve heard it’s a nightmare.

When working with transient data, streaming it (as opposed to saving it to the disk first) is preferred to reduce clean up requirements.

The law is for devices that come out of the box with a weak default. Like buying a wifi hotspot where the default is “admin123” would be bad. The default being random and printed on a label in the device is probably what this is aiming to usher in.

As a software developer, more frequently than I’d like. Pouring a couple weeks into an epic only to see the entire thing scrapped… At least I got paid.

Happens with personal projects too sometimes, I’ll start refactoring and decide at the end of the weekend I really don’t want to waste me next weekend on it and it’ll go to the archives lol.

But even in those cases, not entirely worthless. I still learned and grew my knowledge. Same applies to similar scenarios not related to writing code.

I happened to be able to see the 2017 one and it was so impactful I saved the date and made sure I’d make it happen. Cut forward 7 years and here I am with most of my immediate family (I have 6 siblings so having most is impressive).

It is an experience that can’t be captured by any form of digital or physical media and my only way to describe it is - it’s the closest thing to magic I’ve ever experienced.

I plan on saving up and going overseas for one as well.

Safety Net was replaced with the “Play Integrity API”. The current workaround I’m using is “Play Integrity Fix” by chiteroman and playcurl by daboynb. I believe this is still limited to Android 14 but could be wrong. The xda thread for it could shed some light.

Yes and no. A custom kernel with a patch usually referred to as a “ttl fix” can, but a good amount of ROMs have that in their kernel by default.

Still works for me as of last year. Now I use rooted android with ttlfix.

Or those scummy click bait ads disguised as related articles? They make my blood boil with how they prey on the vulnerable.

I’ve been using Porkbun for over 5 years and haven’t had any issues. I switched from a mix of Google Domains and Namecheap.

Generally the country based TLDs have that problem. That isn’t unique to porkbun or .de

I have a Pixel 7 Pro, in the U S. (and some other countries) call recording is disabled by default and sometimes it’s possible to get your phone to think it’s from a region where it isn’t, and then enable it, but I haven’t really looked into it recently. It’s also really fucked because my state in the U S. allows call recording, so I really feel Google is being lazy by restricting it countrywide.

I use skvalex’s Call Recorder. Been using it around half a decade.

Definitely negligent, I still remember the young adult who killed himself when he thought his Robinhood account was negative nearly 3 quarters of a million dollars.
