lemper··on If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing
you know, my default stance is pirating is the way. i don't give a shit who "owns" the media. if it's in my harddisk, it should not go away unless I delete it or the system (fs / hw / what have you) is kill. good thing I don't enjoy entertainment like movies or music. but in the small chance I like it, I'd go to the store, get the disk, rip it or just torrent it.

but bro! that's immoral and you will suffer in hell!

nah bro, we're already in hell.

bro! them popos will catch your ass and put you in jail!

nah bro, if they don't know, it's not illegal.

lemper··on Using FIDO keys
i use security key by yubikey (blue one, USB A) as one of the mfa. mostly for github and aws. and i personally like the "cool factor" when I have to "look" for the key when the sites ask for it. "bro, what are ya doing ya dingus?" "i literally can't login without the key, bro. like a real renter in a saas world!"
lemper··on Arch Linux bugtracker migration to Gitlab completed
arch resides in a special place in my heart. as long as what they do is reasonable, I give my support.
lemper··on Why is Jepsen written in Clojure?
because it's not rust, bro! if it's rust, people will accept it and move along.

aphyr should've written it in ada, though.

lemper··on Rage: Fast web framework compatible with Rails
> the only technology we should be using to create web UI is JavaScript.

aight bud. do it without html and css. go on.

lemper··on Leaving F-Droid
Do you have some other insight? tfa seems to paint hans as a passive aggressive dude. in the gitlab issue, another person shows up and gave a similar statement about hans. and in the latest reply by hans, it seems that he takes the L.
lemper··on Tinnitus linked to undetected auditory nerve damage
good stuff, mate. it's been 8 goddamn years since my right ear ngiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings all the time. I'm fine with waiting for another or two 8 years, but please, show some result. pretty please with cherry on top.
lemper··on "Useless Ruby sugar": Endless (one-line) methods
in the ruby's ticket page that is linked in the article, one guy (who seems to be a respectable gentleman, I must add), this feature adds more cognitive load, requires all ides to support this syntax, and encouraging less readable code. coming from other programming language, I don't think that this feature is adding more cognitive load. especially when I believe any Ruby off Rails developer is also write js code. nor I do believe that it encourages less readable code, even though I don't deep dive into ruby's traditions, I believe stupid long one liners are the enemy of "happy developers".
lemper··on Choose the browser that best suits your privacy needs
gentle reminder that chrome people are doing "web environment integrity" bullshit. use firefox or any non-chrome based browser if you like the open and free web.
lemper··on Rocket – Simple, Fast, Type-Safe Web Framework for Rust
you bet i do.
lemper··on Rocket – Simple, Fast, Type-Safe Web Framework for Rust
rocket and flight terms. mount? is it a horse? launch? well, it's a rocket. fairings? good thing they don't introduce cable installation.

i'd rather use haskellin instead of rust if we're talking about "correctness" and "stability", whatever those are.

lemper··on Rocket – Simple, Fast, Type-Safe Web Framework for Rust
introducing a new term when an established term exists seem to add another overhead. "but bro, you'll get used to it in no time." i hear you, buddy. it just leaves a bit bad taste.

anyway, i can't believe i say this, i think dhh's words on tradeoff between squeezing performance out of an ecosystem and "just throw more hardware on it" is a tradeoff that i can clearly choose.

lemper··on Genetic Algorithms for Evolution of QWOP Gaits
bro, your cert is expired. just a friendly reminder.
lemper··on Show HN: YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads
good work, bud. just pray that it will keep working after those asshole at google make the god awful web attestation on by default. you don't forget about it do you?
lemper··on I Hacked the Magic Mouse
bro, let him cook. he hasn't cross the line.
lemper··on Privacy is priceless, but Signal is expensive
yes, it's an ad hominem. people need to know who are you and what incentives behind them. if you're from a competing provider, other will need to take that into account.

also, if you want to peddle your stuff, make your own announcements or something.

lemper··on De-crufted Windows 11 coming to Europe soon
> how come?

eu seem to care about its citizens it seems. so, it might be dumbfounding for citizens of nations with government who give zero fucks about its own citizens.

> lobbying

in other countries, it is called bribery. most of the time, it's illegal.

lemper··on Privacy is priceless, but Signal is expensive
bro, you're working for one of chat programs, yes? never heard of communick before. won't ever use it. if people ask me about it, i will show them how a person related to communick behaves in public.
lemper··on Blender 16yo winner of UK young animator of the year
sure, they're talented. but, please, don't discount the effort euan has put into his current state of mastery.
lemper··on Inko Programming Language
> Why should a user’s choice for DVCS & forge make them feel less supported or inferior?

do you really feel that way, mate? a bit dramatic isn't it? let me show you a better way.

yo, Yorick Peterse, the owner of Inko prog lang. you see, I actually want to publish shit for Inko. but you guys seem to only support github. what kind of dance / computer programming should I perform so your tools can show my tool?

and in case you guys don't wanna / cannae support my super sekrit "forge", too bad. this is where we part way.

simple, yeah?

lemper··on The importance of cash in a technological society
good thing I don't live in a society with social credit score. be it in consumption or something else.
lemper··on The importance of cash in a technological society
I definitely agree, I can count with my hands how often I do transaction with ebanking, payment app (similar to google pay), and friends. I dislike the idea that people can track where, how much, and how often my money flow. so I resist the temptation of using that kind of stuff.

p.s., I don't have any credit card.

lemper··on .NET 8 Standalone 50% Smaller On Linux
makes me remember about that meme where it depicts microsoft as an org with many divisions pointing guns at each other. devdiv is the good guys while sales dept. is the hated one.
lemper··on Switching to Elixir
same here, mate. though mine is haskell. I'd rather waiting for gleam to mature enough to mess around with it than to be miserable with the dynamics of the data. I just don't like to guess stuff down the line.
lemper··on Woman jailed after RentaHitman.com assassin turned out to be – surprise – FBI
believe it or not, literacy is a skill. many has it and many more doesn't. not to mention, humour is difficult. so, never set you expectation too high.
lemper··on Speeding up a program for a 50 year old processor
nah, never worry about your english, mate. those anglos should be happy that you're accommodating them by using english.
lemper··on Racket branch of Chez Scheme merging with mainline Chez Scheme
I'm sure there is this one person who builds a webdev ecosystem in racket. sorry, can't really recall his name. I'm pretty sure he has a lot of valuable input.
lemper··on Tutanota is now Tuta
right, i forgot that this provider exists. decided to make an account. maybe in the future i will have the need to use secure messaging.
lemper··on Collection of "Today I Learned" notes
this is something nice. thanks for sharing.
lemper··on No dogs were harmed in the making of this app
this kind of thing is what I realised in my first 2 years of my work life. and whenever we have a family gathering, those relatives are usually bragging how hard their jobs and life are. but not me, I brag how easy my job is. clock in at 930, get the hell out at 1830, then no thoughts given about job after the hours.
