weaksauce··on Threat actors expand abuse of Microsoft Visual Studio Code
> I'm curious what would stop you from opening it in restricted mode? Is it because it says browse and not edit under the button?

loss of syntax highlighting and to a lesser extent the neovim plugin. maybe having some kind of more granular permission system or a whitelist is the answer here.

opening a folder in vscode shouldn't be dangerous.

weaksauce··on Threat actors expand abuse of Microsoft Visual Studio Code
yeah me as well. at least have the untrusted code allow certain plugins or certain features of plugins to run that you whitelist. not having vim keybindings or syntax highlighting is too barebones.
weaksauce··on The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe
though use linux is in a great state. tahoe and windows are really bad right now and i don't regret moving to linux even a little bit.
weaksauce··on Why Big Companies Keep Failing: The Stack Fallacy (2016)
Erick Schat's Bakkery in bishop is a counterpoint... great sandwiches from what i remember and a great bakery. though they operate kinda separate.

chile based on the email address in profile
weaksauce··on Linux is good now
I think that if affinity chooses to make it work well on linux that would be a game changer for a lot of people. daVinci resolve works on linux for video so having a proper photo editor/illustrator tool that is not gimp would open up the option for most people to daily drive it. that's really the missing piece.
weaksauce··on Linux is good now
cachyos is a good os that is also performant. arch though so there are quirks around the rolling update model but you always have the newestish packages and if you update regularly there seems to be less headache.
weaksauce··on The Delete Act
I wonder how well this will work without other the states not being in on it and what other unintended consequences this may bring. sounds like a good start though.
weaksauce··on Charm Ruby – Glamorous Terminal Libraries for Ruby
the author of these libraries is a very experienced ruby coder... I'm sure there's a reason for that code:

to_s normalizes code down to a string that can be compared when the object could be arbitrary and might not implement ==

init is one of the three core framework methods for the elm pattern.

weaksauce··on Ruby 4.0.0
another early days project but pretty well thought out in that space: https://github.com/yippee-fun/empirical/blob/main/literally_...
weaksauce··on The post-GeForce era: What if Nvidia abandons PC gaming?
pretty sure i heard that they were stepping down from doing discrete graphics in the next year or two
weaksauce··on The post-GeForce era: What if Nvidia abandons PC gaming?
manjaro is arch under the hood and arch is supposed to be updated fairly frequently.
weaksauce··on Ruby website redesigned
yeah it will be ruby 4.0
weaksauce··on AI Is Breaking the Moral Foundation of Modern Society
> Same as the story about how groups shouldn’t go out during COVID but BLM protests are fine.

i don't think you have a good grasp of why that it was ok for outdoor protests to happen but people should not go out into crowded buildings. the chance of you getting sick from a protest is much less than the chance of you getting sick from going to an indoor gathering at say a club. getting sick is not a binary on or off. it's exposure time and magnitude vs. your immune system's defenses.

weaksauce··on Last Week on My Mac: Losing confidence
about 5 months ago i jumped ship to kde plasma and it's been great. took a month or two to get the most prized things working the way i wanted but kde is so configurable that you can get it to work pretty much identical to a mac. toshy gives you all the familiar mac keyboard shortcuts and lets you do per application configs. I can't see going back to a mac unless an employer mandated it. the freedom you have is refreshing. if something doesn't work the way you want it you can change it.
weaksauce··on Firefox 147 Will Support the XDG Base Directory Specification
yeah they only have one system for it all and they are all called bugs.

here's the 25 year old bug. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57805

weaksauce··on Firefox 147 Will Support the XDG Base Directory Specification
as a matter of fact... yes https://i.imgur.com/0uxzr4H.png

> At last! Mozilla fixing longstanding bugs! (I jest)

you joke but they did just close out the initial implementation of a something like 27 year old bug. about:keyboard was recently added to nightly to allow you to change or clear the built in keyboard shortcuts of a bunch of menu items like save, back, refresh, or open dev tools or whatever.

weaksauce··on Yt-dlp: External JavaScript runtime now required for full YouTube support
> I can play on my phone with the screen off with yt vanced

there's a lot of iphone/ipad users out there.

> Everything's already on youtube and they let you make playlists, and they have playlists of the top charts already

I don't use it but ui probably. ads maybe. plenty of people have money and don't want the inconvenience of trying to get around it.

weaksauce··on Ruby already solved my problem
it is a string usually but could be called with a single number or some other object that has that method overwritten and it would still do the right thing.
weaksauce··on Just use a button
when i was doing .net programming way back in the day asp.net handled each navigation with a javascript event and it broke all that stuff. this was right before ruby on rails existed so maybe it’s better now.
weaksauce··on Affinity Studio now free
awesome... thank you!
weaksauce··on Affinity Studio now free
I too would really like a linux version of this
weaksauce··on GOG has had to hire private investigators to track down IP rights holders
it's like the steam client but for gog + all the other markets like epic/xbox apparently including messaging.
weaksauce··on KDE celebrates the 29th birthday and kicks off the yearly fundraiser
yeah dolphin is great software!
weaksauce··on AV2 video codec delivers 30% lower bitrate than AV1, final spec due in late 2025
i think i've seen this effect on tv shot on cameras that were lower fps than the tv outputs. looks fake and bad and interpolated because it is.
weaksauce··on Vibe engineering
it's taken programming from being fully waiting on compilations to being incrementally compiled and productive back to waiting on the compiler all over again.
weaksauce··on Windows 10 refuses to go gentle into that good night
thanks for that... looks like a pretty well thought out piece of work
