I studied physics, did a PhD and postdoc, the whole science shebang. When I got into software development a few years ago, I was put into a well functioning pizza sized team that d…

"I grew up in Europe" can literally be any one of over 40 different countries, and even more education systems. I am in Germany, and school starts at 8 in Berlin, 8:05 in Wiesbaden…

The play store is pretty bad. About half the time I search for an app, BY NAME, without any way to confuse it with another app, the top result is a scam or copy cat, or adware. And…

I have never seen an open source comic before, publishing the full res Krita files and all. Mad respect for that. I've donated a couple of bucks.

This sounds fantastic, but I'm utterly surprised that Google, of all companies, only releases this for macOS and iOS, but not Android.

Your username is butlerian jihad, and yet you advocate FOR the tell tale LLM writing style that the rest of the internet seems to loathe? So while I'm still on the fence about whet…

Oh I absolutely loved those. In the early 90, when I was maybe 6 years old, I had this one, the left half at least: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kosmos-electronic-sy... …

Should've clarified: not much else from my collection of favorite games. And that's because of the limited GPU power of the M2 Air, not strictly because the game wouldn't start.

I've only recently gotten a MacBook after using Linux Pretty much exclusively for over twenty years. And I have to say I'm really surprised how much I like it. For gaming it's all …

parakeet is amazing, it has completely ousted whisper for me. On Linux, both handy.computer and epicenter Whispering (using parakeet of course) work incredibly well for set-and-for…

I believe Kennedy is much older than 1 year.

Anyone can do construction, blue collar jobs? That hasn't been my experience with contractors.

Parakeet doesn't require a GPU. I'm handily running it on my Ubuntu Linux laptop.

Man, today's xkcd hits hard...

I've played it on the Steamdeck without issue.

I've been using my own domain for mail like that for over fifteen years now, and it happened only once that I've had to explain "no I don't work at $drugstore" when giving my "drug…

While I don't know much about centeifuges, I'm still in awe that this Hikoki handheld blower does 90k rpm: https://www.hikoki-powertools.com/products/powertools/li-ion... That's no…

Well the inconvenience is kind of the point. I don't want another app on my phone to allow me to indulge. The point is that I have to walk, physically move, to the corner where the…

Thank you, I really appreciate this! Alas, none of it is made up - honestly. My wife and I kept finding ourselves in the garden on a beautiful day scrolling reddit and instagram fo…

Yeah, thats just how it was when I completely blocked those services on my network. My hope is that this gentle nuding towards "come on, you've had 15 minutes, now just wait anothe…

It seems you're already down voted, but I'd like to respond to this comment anyway. Also, I'll rephrase it slightly: "Drop the idea that drinking alcohol like shots or beer or what…

I really like them too. Not only are they OpenWRT compatible, they run more or less stock OpenWRT with a custom UI. They do also expose the standard LuCi for advanced settings too.…

I thought I commented on this from my phone, but it seems it didn't go through, so I'll try again. Most apps I've tried (and browsers too) can be blocked just fine via DNS. The gli…

We prefer the term 'addict', thank you very much.

I just had the plug laying around, and since it has a button, it does the job. But it actually has an advantage: I can plug a small lamp into it. After 14 minutes, the plug switche…
