Truly dystopic, Jesus christ


ublock Origin or AdNauseam is the cure to your ailment. Speaking of quality of life improvements any degoogled or privacy oriented browser is also an improvement. Personally I use Zen browser, not as hardened as other browsers but good enough for me and has nice features and design aswell :)
Only downside ive seen with Debian is slower rollouts and some packages missing in their repos. Its because they prioritize stability.
If Debian fits your use case theres no reason not to stay. I ditched Debian after I accidentally created my frankendebian monster which i was way too unknowledgable to save back then.
And hey, welcome to Linux!


Holy shit, dystopia is real


Yup, saw some stats from screenshots on there, their mail service had a cap of 300 mails monthly and it blew up to over 50 000. Verification/mail servers went up again yesterday at 4am CET but still seems like the authentication servers are pretty overrun.


Yeah, I lade my acc a year ago and iirc they didnt have voice chat then. Now they seem to have better permissions for channels, vc and video/screen sharing around the corner. Only thing Im lacking is fediverse type of instances so we can only pray that will be developed one day. As of now idk what the status on self-hosting is but ive seen the devs link alot about it in their official server


Stoat.chat, anyone?


Atleast point the gun in the right direction, please. I’ve used Discord since it’s release, when I moved over from Skype. I’ve seen the enshittification all the way through and can safely say, as with every other SaaS software, if its run by a corporation it will eventually pile into a bag of shit. Thats not the users fault. Ive been looking for a promising alternative for a long time but there just isnt a good alternative. When it comes to features used by Discords users and communities most alternatives are lacking some key component that makes a switch hard. I just hope this speeds up the development of these features on alternative platforms.
Jesus i worked at exactly this kind of project once. The only other dev was also very hostile and protective of this position. He did not want me there in the slightest. Took about 6 months before we cancelled the contract since this dude was just actively harrassing me in Teams DMs on the daily and he just ignored all my concerns regarding maintainability since “he could understand the code” and i was probably just “not experienced enough”.
Don’t downplay what this does to your mental health. 5 years of workplaces like this and I’m now starting to see a therapist due to exhaustion disorder symptoms in my goddamn 20s. Take care our there!
Im so curious about the new VR tech, isn’t this what the VR nerds have been talking about, like, forever? I guess we’ll just have to see how well implemented it is.
But goddamn, what an absolute bombshell to drop 3 pieces of hardware at once. Lets hope they can deliver.

Maybe not related to your situation but first thing i remembered was seeing this linked yesterday:


My girlfriend keeps telling me i could make a fortune off my feet. If I ever meet someone with an actual feet fetish i will make sure to get them rated.
Cursor is an AI code editor. Like most code editors it leaves a hidden settings file in the project. This file can then deliberately (or accidentally) be commited to the repo.
I dislike using AI when im writing my own code, simply because I do not believe AI is fair use or leads to anything positive for the creators of the works its trained on. I do use it to debug some stuff or get some hints but always double check whether the solution is good afterwards. With that said, if the cursorfile is just a settings file it only proves that someone has used AI in their IDE, the code itself does not necessarily have to be generated by an AI. And even if it were it could still be fine, it all comes down to the developers and the review process. The code is not inherently flawed because an AI wrote it. As long as humans are there to point out, find and prevent issues/security flaws its fine to use.
Here comes the problem though. The term “vibe coding” mainly refers to people with little to no skill as developers, mainly relying on AI to do the heavy lifting. That is very problematic. Thats when security flaws, issues and tech debt start to rack up. I havent looked at the code or researched repo history, but i would believe these devs are better than “vibe coders”


If this does what it says on the box its huge
Doesnt really matter IMO. If you have known bugs and flaws you dont showcase those, or if they are present in the showcase you atleast adress them and show what is to be expected upon release. NVIDIA just flat out didnt care. As soon as motion increases the artefacting is crazy. How do you even decide that this is remotely good enough for a demo?
