ThatMedicIsASpy··on Anthropic Cracking Down on Video Game Rewrites
Hide random comments in my code so usAI says it won't touch it?
ThatMedicIsASpy··on Oldest GUI application that still runs on Windows 11
They are handy on a tablet. At the same time they are not since dynamic content might be loaded so the true size of the page is not shown to me by the scroll bar.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on Flatpak – An Insecurity Nightmare (2023)
Haven't taken a look (gnome sucks) but to me flatpak based just means its an atomic/immutable distro.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on Testing 12 different Zigbee temperature/humidity sensors
I have no problems with zigbee. Here it is 33 zigbee devices, 16 being routers (light/power plug switches). No basement.

My friend has problems with zigbee and has moved to matter and is now trouble free. The only fine zigbee stuff for him was the Hue lights though.

ThatMedicIsASpy··on Picard 3.0
If tagging music wasn't so ass I would do it.

Multiple artists, genres, moods all behave different for each player. I hate thinking about tagging music.

Can't say I've had a good experience with picard either. Too many versions for many songs means tags can be anything if you leave it alone and do its thing

ThatMedicIsASpy··on The work by Valve's Timur Kristóf on improving old AMD GPUs on Linux
Fine is not good enough. New amd cards need a year. Is raytracing fully working (min 90% of the win11 performance) these days?
ThatMedicIsASpy··on Make Tmux the OS
When I think of tmux I think of coming back to the state I've left things in when I quit more than the tiling features.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on Cloudflare OHTTP gateway
What if the solution is garbage? There are ad blockers that click every ad. Random google searches, random chatbot searches, random clicks.

I have a feeling that privacy is easier to protect if you just mix what you want to hide with a lot of garbage.

ThatMedicIsASpy··on Cloudflare OHTTP gateway
You want to say the intelligence agencies are the biggest protectors of piracy (Piracy websites love Cloudflare)?
ThatMedicIsASpy··on Instagram's head says engagement falls by half without the algorithm
The couch tablet just had old.reddit.com/r/all On my desktop I have thousands of bots on my ignore list as well as hundreds of subs. The tablet gave me the true unfiltered garbage that I hardly see elsewhere.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on Instagram's head says engagement falls by half without the algorithm
I'll not login on the couch tablet so no more reddit for me on it.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on TiVo to charge money for skipping commercials in your own recordings
HD+ is 17 years old already (German hd broadcast for private channels). One of its features were no skipping commercials in your own recordings.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on New Mac mini, featuring M6 and M5 Pro
The argument is right there in front of you.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on Omacom Foundation launches with $8M
The last state of Omarchy to me was its arch but a script to install that one guys dot files.

Nobody has given me a reason to move of Fedora Atomics.

ThatMedicIsASpy··on Pixel 11 Pro Fold feels like the end of an era
And I've never gotten into using my phone for anything outside of calls messages and navigation. The web is the worst on tiny vertical screens.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on UEFA and its national associations will not participate in FIFA competitions
I can't remember this sports without a hydration break (half time). So they've been mandatory for a long time.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on Kill The Cookie Banner
Outlawing user tracking/profiling and selling their data would be the biggest change to the internet.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on GTX 1080s: Testing a Legend
It's an older card running on high/ultra quality settings in those benchmarks. I would be more interested in low/medium settings.

1080 here with 7950X3D+96GB.

ThatMedicIsASpy··on LG monitors silently install software through Windows Update without consent
Touch goes in there as well. I don't know how they add a new touch keyboard to KDE and have no access to arrow keys. Making it impossible to go up in the terminal.

ThatMedicIsASpy··on $100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol
I'm fine with AI music having AI videos.

https://www.youtube.com/@DementedVinyl

But I have never cared about a video when it comes to music.

ThatMedicIsASpy··on The lost joy of music piracy
It is also simple to download from the streaming services so to me things got as simple as pasting a link in the terminal to rip to no internet places like a car
ThatMedicIsASpy··on European "age verification" "app" forcing everyone to use Android or iOS
I'm on SailfishOS since a couple of years
ThatMedicIsASpy··on Leak of San Francisco Police Drone Footage Exposes Reality of Urban Surveillance
Am I missing something? I can click the 'article' but its a big picture and a single paragraph. That reads like a picture description.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on EU Parliament greenlights Chat Control 1.0
And then politician always wonder why nobody has any trust left.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on Microsoft fire idTech team at Id software
I can only blame them for moving to RT only with their new Doom when they had insane performance on their previous games. Many toasters could easily hit 60fps in high settings.
ThatMedicIsASpy··on A peek into Reddit's anti-spam internals
The same as youtubes removal of dislikes and more recently they disabled search results with newest results first.

Now I ignore a user based on other criteria (account age post/comment karma + a 50 times compressed repost)

ThatMedicIsASpy··on Microsoft Needs Windows Lite
They have windows iot. That can easily count as 'windows lite'
ThatMedicIsASpy··on U.S. allows Anthropic to release Mythos AI to ‘trusted’ US organizations
The world has better places to offer. The past 20 years have only reinforced my stance no need to try.

My friends experiences visiting family (before Trump) have confirmed them multiple times. Imagine visiting family as a 17 year old German and then being questioned for 11 hours because you don't know the exact street where the family lives. While the relative is waiting at the airport without any kind of information.

ThatMedicIsASpy··on Jolla Phone (October 2026)
No idea you guys make up prices and devices when I made my choices years ago?

All I can give you is my reasoning for picking it. Not giving google my money is always a plus in my book.

ThatMedicIsASpy··on U.S. allows Anthropic to release Mythos AI to ‘trusted’ US organizations
America can't be trusted since the patriot act - the day I said to myself I'll never visit.

And I can't trust my gov to grow some balls and say we will no longer negotiate with a senile old child raping man baby.

I can't even trust any company having their workers include or upload my data to a free AI model.
