"Other people hate their job so it's ok to hate yours too, suck it."

What a stupid take. Is it so bad to want a better life? Yes, my life is _already_ better than berries pickers, but that doesn't mean my concerns and pains aren't valid. We should level up, not keep everyone down because there's always someone who is having it worse than you.

if you want to advertise on Reddit, you gotta do it like everyone does it: hide your ads in normal posts and comments.

I've seen people accept the refund and then edit the review to not only make it clear that the product is shit, that the seller is refunding products for good reviews.

There a Lisp lexer, and that's it, it seems.

why not use a 3rd party app?

Sure, here it is: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/380564412135768064/84...

An old memory just popped up > The Wadsworth Constant is the idea (and 2011 meme) that one can safely skip past the first 30 percent of any YouTube video without missing any important content. https://www.dictionary.com/e/pop-culture/the-wadsworth-const...

The funniest part of that meme is that YouTube implemented a (now obviously removed) "wadsworth" query parameter that skipped the first 30% of a video.

> Why are you not skipping the bullshit

Honestly? Because I was expecting to hear something interesting at any moment. When I saw the length, I expected to see a technical explanation, a step-by-step how-to, a live example with the ffmpeg CLI. Anything remotely interesting.

What I absolutely did not expect was a 6 minutes long "introduction" out of a 8:30 minutes video. All of that to finally say "it's 2 videos stitched together, like and subscribe"

I almost never watch videos, unless it's the necessary medium for the context (i.e. music teaching or movie analysis), because I _need_ text to learn.

But.

Two weeks ago there was a small video on Discord that crashed the client when you played it. Here's a 8m30s long video explaining how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuBNQ6tiNcI

tl;dw: they used ffmpeg to stitch 2 videos with a different aspect ratio together, so it crashes chromium. That's the whole explanation, and this guy spends SIX MINUTES of blowing hot air before getting to the point. It's absolutely infuriating, I genuinely felt robbed of my time.

SIM Notes, a wysiwyg markdown notes taking tool, based on Notational Velocity. It's a tool I literally tailored to my needs: 100% flat markdown files, in-place rendering, no structure, no tags, but a powerful and fast search. It's my own perfect zettelkasten.

Unfortunately I had to stop working on it when I had a burnout, so it's still buggy but good enough for me to use it every day.

I'm very slowly working on a v2, with a simple localhost daemon and no Electron.

Your post is a bit unclear to me, I'm not sure which side of the argument you're defending, but

> every person who has used the product without paying for it is such a loss.

No, because like you said, that implies that you'd have bought the product if pirating it wasn't possible. If I want to pirate a game but it's not available, I won't buy it either.

> It is an argument to justify the thieves.

I'm not justifying "theft" - or piracy in this case -, I'm just saying that you can't equate the two. Piracy and theft are two very different things, with different motives, and different consequences of the distributor.

The "piracy is theft" motto is just false, but you can keep both words in their own context you know. So, I call that "piracy".

That completely disregards the fact that local multiplayer requires you to have players who are geographically close, willing and able to gather at the same time in the same place. Also, some recent world events you might have heard about somewhat made these kinds of gatherings quite difficult or illegal.

"Stealing" a digital product implies that every stolen copy is a net loss for the distributor. It's definitely not.

Open source projects that have a high usage and high visibility have their flaws quickly fixed _because_ the code is open and for everyone to see. It's an iterative process that grows with the popularity of the project. Popular open source projects have been open for years and/or have lots of people that participate, review, report bugs, and fix them.

A closed source projects can have thousand of security bugs no-one will never know about. Since it's closed, it's hidden so no problem... until it's leaked.

How nice of you to give Radon "permission" to publish his site. You're so generous.

not OP, but I tried to setup a NAS with my older B+, and it was really unreliable. The disk went to sleep every few minutes even when there was a file being read/written.

Thanks for the recommendation, that was worth it.

I love that the last sentence implies that the wounds are different each time you watch the tape.

Hey thanks, I'll take a look!

Not OP. While I've personally not yet fully migrated out of Google, I found Synching and Resilio Sync quite useful to transparently backup photos to my own computer. And to prevent losses, I have a Backblaze subscription.

While I do have a VPS, it only has like 20GB, so I've yet to find an affordable and easy photo sharing solution.

Isn't that explicitly prohibited by Apple's guidelines?

I use https://www.photopea.com/ when I need to do image edition.

It's "Entity Component System". The "system" is part of the pattern name.

Either flashable cartridges (so you need to also buy a flasher), or more expensive cartridges with an embedded µSD card reader. Just be careful to buy cartridges with enough storage for your game(s).

I personally own an "El Cheapo" from Australian maker BennVenn, but they only make small batches a few times a year.

I've recently taken an interest in modding gameboys. I was planning on reselling them (at cost price) to fund the next ones, but most hardware can only be bought from US or UK. So since the Brexit, it's literally an unsustainable hobby because of all custom fees :(

But was that stupid, though? In the end there was a very real shortage, so if you were reasonable enough to avoid panic buying, you were risking not having enough toilet paper for yourself.

I, the perfect dad, absolutely 100% expected that my children would have to stay confined in our house 24/7 with no school, no outside activity (and I'm fortunate enough to have a small lawn), practically no outside contact, all while having to do my job and do my best to raise and keep them occupied.

Also, I'm absolutely not worried about their own well-being, or lack of social interactions, or even the constant loss of bearings, or if they themselves worry about how their parents are doing.

Are you seriously comparing owning shares with taking advantage of the need to have a home to take ~30% of someone's monthly income?

> It's their place, their rules

Yeah and then what's a viable alternative? They (with Apple) can unilaterally cut your revenue stream for any made-up reason with no recourse, and yet there's still people defending mono/duopolies.
