vodkapump··on Nano98: Windows 98 that boots and runs under 5MB (2003)
Bosch emulator to emulate the advantages of antilock brake systems.
vodkapump··on Discord has won over gamers. Now it wants everybody else
Only time I ever see stages mentioned is when they do a paid spot with a YouTuber to do one..
vodkapump··on Discord has won over gamers. Now it wants everybody else
My main recent annoyance is that they removed the mentions tab on mobile, and replaced it with some weird feature called stage (some sort of clubhouse ripoff where you do... livestreaming?) It placed the mentions in under the search(?!?!) tab, which adds 2 clicks, and also added significant time delays sometimes when the search tab has to load for 3-10seconds........ I have a server with lots of discord "OGs" back from 2015, and it's the most complained about change that has been discussed in that server, by far.
vodkapump··on Google now shows why it ranked a specific search result
This shows me almost exclusively pinterest results. A website I've never in my life used, but for some reason always get recommended to go to by google.

Sad to see NRK being abused like this tho

vodkapump··on The FTC Votes Unanimously to Enforce Right to Repair
He's probably refering to DPF (diesel particulate filter) deletes. I'm pretty sure that is what just about 95% of customers at tune shops in Europe are in there for, bypassing or deleting DPF so they don't have to deal with all the costs around it. (and the annoyances of software messing with how your car drives to "renew" the DPF randomly)

I know someone that runs a tune shop in my small town and I'd say it is about 99.99% of his customers that are in for a DPF delete or bypass.

vodkapump··on Puppy Pregnancy in Humans: A Culture-Bound Disorder (2003)
In my experience the explanation is, that people like dogs.
vodkapump··on Gooey: Turn almost any Python command line program into a GUI application
I don't use it myself, but maybe have a look at Staxrip? It's not quite that user friendly, but a lot more than remembering the commands for making a video from individual images.
vodkapump··on Anom Encrypted App Analysis
Can't even use the "Clearly they were using the cold war era definition" excuse, as Romania would be a second world country by that definition.
vodkapump··on Thursday was fish day in the USSR
Come to think of it, they probably didn't. But a quick online search seems to show that the 70s was around when the world understood Vitamin D a lot more, so could be.

Could also be for the same reason my family made sure we had at least 1 (fatty) fish meal every week.

We live far north in Norway, sunlight is relatively scarce through the year, which means Vitamin D deficiency is a concern.

But what is also a good source of Vitamin D? Fish!

vodkapump··on Employees are quitting instead of giving up working from home
I would definitely save a lot of money working from home, my office is wall to wall with a bakery.
vodkapump··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2021)
Can I have a position just to implement VOEC? It not being implemented is the only reason I no longer buy anything from websites using shopify. https://www.skatteetaten.no/en/business-and-organisation/vat...
vodkapump··on Employees are quitting instead of giving up working from home
That is why I added the part about having such a short commute.
vodkapump··on Employees are quitting instead of giving up working from home
I am quite glad I can go to my office to work, having the separation is quite nice, I don't want to associate my home with work at all.

Though it does probably help that my commute is only 900 metres.

vodkapump··on Twilio blocked our account and with it hundreds of our customers [resolved]
I had a similar issue as you, what ended up working for me was to contact the support for payment issues, and saying I had issues with paying for something.

Got in contact with a real human (i think..) in chat in under a minute, which helped me get it resolved via filling out like 4 different forms.

No idea if this would work for you though, but worth a try?

vodkapump··on Et Tu, Signal?
> easy backup when you get a new phone

I just recently got a new phone, and used the new feature to do this (uses wi-fi direct) and I have to say it seemed like it would be easy enough for non-techy users to use.

vodkapump··on Is it true? Can Covid-19 vaccines connect me to the internet?
If it was saying 31st I would consider that an option, but I'm 8 hours behind AUS and it says 30th for me.
