snowe2010··on Apple's new video reactions are making therapy awkward
The effects don’t apply across all apps. I tested in google meet last week and it didn’t work.
snowe2010··on Apple's new video reactions are making therapy awkward
It doesn’t work over google meet. The other person was wrong, it does not apply to the OS video feed, apps have to explicitly support it in some manner.
snowe2010··on Firefox tooltip bug fixed after 22 years
You can do that with sidebery. Firefox’s default container plug-in is just a baseline. Other plugins do a much better job.
snowe2010··on Lemmy now has over 2M users across 915 instances
They can easily prevent spam accounts by requiring captcha and a sign up application. I do so on programming.dev and I haven’t seen a single spam account.
snowe2010··on Lemmy now has over 2M users across 915 instances
Your second paragraph is exactly why i created programming.dev. Having general purpose instances really fragments the community and just makes things confusing. And putting the software name in the URL is just dumb, for many reasons. I will never need to explain programming.dev to a single person, it’s clearly there in the name.
snowe2010··on Reddit bans subreddit detailing how to move to competitor Kbin
i thought it was almost 3000. I made the same point the other day, there's absolutely no reason they couldn't already be profitable, it's all just trying to get rich rather than exist.
snowe2010··on Reddit Goes Nuclear, Removes Moderators of Subreddits That Continued to Protest
Only one person has said they run in the negatives and they’ve said it alongside a host of other lies, so please forgive the less trusting of us for not believing the serial liar.
snowe2010··on Comparing Adobe Firefly, Dalle-2, and OpenJourney
not sure this is a good comparison. midjourney likes much shorter prompts, and honestly they're all absolutely terrible for anything that isn't 'photo' based. E.g. ask it to generate a word bubble of the most common programming languages and it will fail every time, no matter what you try. I love it for photo stuff, but for photoshop you'd expect it to be able to do other things as well.
snowe2010··on Sub.Rehab – See where Reddit communities have relocated
they already did make it explicit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/14c7v8...
snowe2010··on Sub.Rehab – See where Reddit communities have relocated
because they don't want the apps to stick around. that's why they're not negotiating, that's why they made the pricing so high (also to take advantage of AI scrapers), that's why they're making a bogeyman out of tpa devs.
snowe2010··on Reddit just auto removed my comment with a link to Lemmy.ml
forgot to respond to this, but yeah it would have handled it fine, except the default nginx config just wasn't set up correctly. sorry about that!
snowe2010··on Reddit just auto removed my comment with a link to Lemmy.ml
hopefully I've fixed the problem. Nginx had only 768 worker connections allowed so I increased that.
snowe2010··on The odd appeal of absurdly long YouTube videos
Sorry I thought the app was just named after the command. Thanks for fact checking me!

`caffeine` is built into Mac so they don’t even need to install anything.
snowe2010··on The odd appeal of absurdly long YouTube videos
Caffeine is actually built into macs. You can just run ` caffeine` on the command line. I like to use hammerspoon to control it though, which adds the exact same icon to the taskbar, but I have one less thing to install.
snowe2010··on The odd appeal of absurdly long YouTube videos
Just for those reading, you can turn this on in Mac by just running the `caffeine` command in the terminal, or using hammerspoon, which will add a nice little button for it to your taskbar.
snowe2010··on NASA's Laser Link Boasts Record-Breaking 200 Gbps Speed
I was just in Hawaii and it was only 72ms.
snowe2010··on WhatsApp has been using the microphone in the background
I mean it’s still recording with the screen off and I’m also using gps for tracking. For hours I mean like 4-5. I don’t think that’s significant at all. You would hardly notice it if you were actually using your phone.
snowe2010··on Python's Missing Batteries: Essential Libraries You're Missing Out On
Wait, you think Python has good tooling? It’s literally bottom of the barrel of all the languages I’ve used. There is literally an ongoing argument about the new Rye tool that just got released because it brings the number of tools needed/used for Python just for _building_ up to 15!

> You can't record too much without tanking the battery life.

Is that an Android thing? I use Merlin to listen to birds and I can record for hours and only lose 20-30%.

snowe2010··on Ask HN: 1Password is backing out of the lifetime license I bought. Can I sue?
I haven’t received a single notification about that. Do you have a source?
snowe2010··on Apparently Ad Blockers are not allowed on YouTube. Is this a new thing?
They have a lot of profit but it’s going to dwindle as people start posting more 4k content. Linus has a video on it. https://youtu.be/MDsJJRNXjYI

> That's false

In what way?

> Just read my comment, it tells you exactly how to make it user friendly.

I’ve reread all of your comments in this thread and find no such thing.

snowe2010··on Rye: Flask author's new project for Python bootstrapping
I'm not asking rye's author. I'm asking here. When will python maintainers decide that enough is enough and actually design a working language, tooling and all. Python is my _most hated language_ and it is because of stuff like this. I might actually use python or at least not hate it if people would stop pretending like it's the greatest language on earth and actually fix the worst part of it. If stuff like this keeps happening though, I seriously doubt that will ever happen.
snowe2010··on Rye: Flask author's new project for Python bootstrapping
For python it routinely has trouble with pip, default locations that pip use, virtual envs break, reshimming doesn't work half the time, I can't even remember all the other issues I've had.

For node it's more of the same, old versions of node were so broken that installing them through asdf doesn't work unless you build directly from source. Reshimming doesn't work half the time, global packages can't be found, idk what else. tons. It's just ridiculous to see when _every_ other language works fine in asdf.

Hammerspoon can handle that and much more, way more customizable and you can do amazing things like grid layouts. Completely open source, totally free, and the more people that use it the better it gets so I highly recommend it.

>What's your Automator handler that I can select a dynamic menu item and change those two keybinds with my arbitrary key combo?

no clue, I don't use automator, but from what I understand of applescript and automator this should be completely possible. For what it's worth I use Hammerspoon like the other commentor and it's by far the best system I've seen for any OS. Also the more people that use it the better it gets so I highly recommend it.

>Also, how is it user friendly to require users to retype the full menu taxonomy???

I mean... you're able to change any arbitrary menu item in any program that exists. That's extremely powerful. I don't really know how you would make it make it any more user friendly.

snowe2010··on Keyboard tricks from a macOS app dev
Hammerspoon is by far the best option for devs, it’s more powerful than pretty much every solution out there, including better touch tool, and the only additional software I need is karabiner elements and alttab. Those three pieces of software will solve every single problem you have with Mac.
snowe2010··on Keyboard tricks from a macOS app dev
Can’t you handle a lot of that with Automator? Honestly it’s funny to see so many people saying Mac is terrible at this when I can’t imagine a worse OS for shortcuts than windows and Linux you have to script everything. Mac managed to make it user friendly and scriptable at the same time.
snowe2010··on Keyboard tricks from a macOS app dev
You can use hammerspoon to solve almost every issue you have.
