I wonder if it would be profitable to make a bot that lends out money on here.
rabbits_2002··on We don't have official RSS feed support for now, but we're working on a solution
Any somewhat competent programmer can create a working RSS feed in an hour. What the hell is happening at Google?

Google is a joke how does something like this even happen

Sometimes I think the jokes about Google having no management are true.

rabbits_2002··on Tiobe Index for December 2023
isnt TIOBE based on search results or something? I really doubt there is more C# being written than JavaScript. Their list never seems accurate.

DDT was one of the worst things ever created
rabbits_2002··on 30 years ago, Doom was released
Wow I can’t believe it was only a ten year gap. Feels so much longer.
rabbits_2002··on Behind the scenes of Sound ID in Merlin – Identify birds using your phone (2021)
Yes pretty much but usually that is enough. It is usually accurate enough to distinguish Northern Flickers and Gilded Flickers which sound almost identical so good enough.
rabbits_2002··on Behind the scenes of Sound ID in Merlin – Identify birds using your phone (2021)
for birds I would recommend something 600mm or more. Smaller birds are hard to photograph with anything under. Sigma makes cheap ones.
rabbits_2002··on A Windows Update bug is renaming everyone's printers to HP M101-M106
>Maybe Microsoft can install a cryptominer to run on your PC when it is idle and send the money back to Microsoft.

I think thats what “antimalware service executable” is

rabbits_2002··on According to Plutarch, Julius Caesar was once captured by pirates
According to Wikipedia its more likely they were enslaved than crucified
rabbits_2002··on A Windows Update bug is renaming everyone's printers to HP M101-M106
the move to windows being a service has been a disaster. I swear task manager lists some new useless daemon taking 3% of cpu after every update
rabbits_2002··on WikiReader
>The WikiReader does not display article text which appears inside a table on Wikipedia.

Kind of a dealbreaker isnt it?

rabbits_2002··on Dark patterns in UX design and how to avoid them
you can avoid them by not being a horrible person
rabbits_2002··on Hunter-gatherers first launched violent raids at least 13,400 years ago
I am confused about this article, I would assume raider bands would exist before full scale battles would have happened. 13,400 years ago is later neolithic, I am sure humans were raiding each other before that.
rabbits_2002··on HTML hacks that shaped the Internet
the time after table layouts and before flex and grid really sucked. table layouts sucked too but at least they made sense lol

rabbits_2002··on Deno Cron
while this looks useful it certainly shows what they are most concerned about which is making money off their cloud service. I don’t think they have much interest in being a Node alternative anymore.
rabbits_2002··on Google's .meme domain is here to serve your wackiest websites
So then why did they sell Google Domains?
rabbits_2002··on An Invasive Tick That Can Clone Itself Is Spreading Across the U.S.
Most of the time there is pretty much nothing you can do. They don’t make selective pesticides.
rabbits_2002··on Ask HN: What was the outcome of Reddit blackout?
A massive decline in post quality. I don’t know what happened but ever since the blackout only garbage gets posted. Even the quality of niche subreddits has fallen. I think the blackout meant that all the well moderated “good” subreddits closed while the bad ones stayed open. Now the bad subreddits are more popular and have eclipsed the good subreddits.

As for other websites, Lemmy and other federated aggregators have gained a bit of a foothold.

rabbits_2002··on CEO Reminds Everyone His Company Collects Customers' Sleep Data
Does anyone actually find it desirable? Or is it just an easy way to squeeze more money out of a mattress sale, considering they probably sell your data.
rabbits_2002··on Credit card rewards is bad
man nytimes really sucks now
rabbits_2002··on In June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin will be disabled in Chrome 127

What an idiot. Altman should just go to Microsoft.
rabbits_2002··on Former Mozilla exec: Google has sabotaged Firefox for years (2019)
Google went from my most trusted tech company in 2010 to being just blatantly evil. I think it must be the new CEO.
rabbits_2002··on Implementing Tic Tac Toe with 170mb of HTML – No JavaScript or CSS
