twelvedogs··on LAPD helicopter tracker with real-time operating costs
just like so many things that work in every country but the US apparently
twelvedogs··on LAPD helicopter tracker with real-time operating costs
police will chase in the US for really any reason, kinda dumb when they have your plates they can just mail you a fine

john oliver did a whole thing on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8ygQ2wEwJw

twelvedogs··on Winamp clone in Swift for macOS
it's a good player but it's always been clunky and oddly buggy

maybe it's less so on mac but on linux i get random long pauses on video playlist playback that often end with it just stopping

twelvedogs··on Unofficial Microsoft Teams client for Linux
microsoft couldn't do it in 95 either
twelvedogs··on Steam Machine
it would be a really bold move on microsoft's part, as it would be direct monopoly abuse

it would be interesting to see how or if they were punished for it in the current political environment or even the next one, but i hope we don't find out

i suspect long term it would just be a foot gun that drives vulkan's popularity anyway though

twelvedogs··on Zed is our office
Yeah same, plus I have poor eyesight so I have to zoom then to click anything
twelvedogs··on YouTube Removes Windows 11 Bypass Tutorials, Claims 'Risk of Physical Harm'
Satya Nadella will kick in your door
twelvedogs··on Active listening: the Swiss Army Knife of communication
i've often been surprised while working with kids that i'll be trying to manipulate them into a way of thinking about a problem or task and they ask me why i'm talking in that way or asking those (usually just prompting) questions

i'll usually just tell them why i'm trying to manipulate them into thinking about the problem in the way i want (in kid friendly language) and they're perfectly fine with it. people don't really seem to mind being manipulated like that, they really just hate not understanding what's going on or being lied to.

twelvedogs··on Show HN: I was tired of people dmming me just "hi", so I made this - NoGreeting
worse are people who wait for a response before writing the actual message

i have not as yet sent someone https://nohello.net/en/ but i've come close

twelvedogs··on Recall for Linux
this happens to me less than once a week, not worth any real effort to avoid

general ai chatbots can usually answer any question that would be solved by magically summoning the exact page i looked at 2 weeks ago anyway

twelvedogs··on A worker fell into a nuclear reactor pool
i kinda see where he's coming from, wear and tear on joints and such

however any kind of "pill" that would have anywhere near the same health effects as exercise is decades away at least.

hips and knees acls tend to be a failure point but the non-existance of said "pill" is probably a fairly big tick for the excercise side, and our tech for repairing those failure points continues to progress at speed

twelvedogs··on YouTube Just Ate TV. It's Only Getting Started
dunno man, if you're struggling that much probably just download movies of the pirate bay and use vlc to play them. radarr isn't that massive of an upgrade

i use it but i have a server if i had to run it locally i'd probably just skip it

twelvedogs··on Do not accept terms and conditions
I backed into my garage wall after being distracted by one of those things, now I just leave it up
twelvedogs··on Xeres: Uncensorable Peer-to-Peer Communications
You directly choose who you can chat with, you moderate by removing the person I would assume
twelvedogs··on RFC 3339 vs. ISO 8601
If you put times in a database without timezone you will regret it
twelvedogs··on The key to getting MVC correct is understanding what models are
MVC always seemed fucking pointless to me, like shit code isn't gonna get good if you put it in boxes
twelvedogs··on I ditched Docker for Podman
> Is the reproducibility of docker really worth the added overhead of managing containers, docker compose, and running daemons on your devbox 24/7?

Why wouldn't it be, containers are super easy to manage, dockerd uses bugger all resources in dev (on Linux anyway) and docker compose files are the simplest setup scripts I've ever used

I like docker because it's easy and I'm lazy

twelvedogs··on John Carmack's arguments against building a custom XR OS at Meta
How would that be better than just grabbing a bsd and starting with that, PlayStation and Apple did it and actually ended up with functional products
twelvedogs··on I'll only buy devices with GrapheneOS
Graphene relies on a lot of closed source driver code I would imagine
twelvedogs··on The End of Tesla?
I guess we agree he's a racist idiot then
twelvedogs··on The End of Tesla?
Non of the others looked like they were cunming as they did it, twice
twelvedogs··on The End of Tesla?
It was obviously a zeig heil or he did the dumbest pants on head idiotic wave ever, which is it?

Given that he immediately after went on a video link with the afd party in Germany I have my suspicions lol

twelvedogs··on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo
Yes it did and it's only going to get worse, ai crawlers are going to continue to make running a website more and more painful. Don't blame the anime girl, she's just trying to fight the bots
twelvedogs··on Facial recognition vans to be rolled out across police forces in England
it's always easier to get funding if there's a threat
twelvedogs··on Perplexity Makes Longshot $34.5B Offer for Chrome
It's not about stopping people from making a browser and a search engine and tying them together, it's about abusing your web browser monopoly to promote your search monopoly (and vice versa) to keep competition out

The rules apply to everyone it's just that no one else has a search or browser monopoly

Microsoft had a browser monopoly at one point and it should have happened to them but they generously pissed it away

twelvedogs··on What caused the 'baby boom'? What would it take to have another?
Having kids you don't want is more of a moral failing than choosing not to have kids because you don't want them
twelvedogs··on VMware perpetual license holders receive cease-and-desist letters from Broadcom
Did you, there were people getting it days after there contract expired
twelvedogs··on On Not Carrying a Camera – Cultivating memories instead of snapshots
meh, i can't remember shit about my kid's births except for a couple of blurred memories, what with the lack of sleep and stress

this dude probably has better memories of his than i do.

take photos, make sure to take them and write what was happening but i guess don't make them the point of the experience like this dude is

twelvedogs··on Why I run FreeBSD for my home servers (2024)
yeah, this was my main annoyance with it, i don't log into my server for months at a time so i wanted something without constant updates but other than that it was fine.
twelvedogs··on Twitter/X will let people you've blocked see your posts
agree, plus since it's trivially easy to get around the block it's almost pointless

that person no longer exists to me, their opinion of me doesn't exist, whether non-person reads my posts or not is uninteresting to me
