The irony of British people handing over their data to a company named Palantir…





Grunt can never be safe. I have seen warehouses of a few online retailers, and the people working there always are at risk of life debilitating injuries.


I have XM5 which is also made by Sony, and is their most expensive headphones. So they clearly know how to make BT work. They just refuse to, to sell you their damn Pulse headphones.


New consoles used to be a big deal. Generational leaps still are, but we’ve fallen into a malaise in recent years as new models and more powerful advancements come along and we all shrug our shoulders before getting on with our day.

That’s a distinctly “game journalists have nothing to write about” problem.

Anyway, this was a chance for Sony to finally ship functional Bluetooth with their damn Console. Guess not.


Such a bizarre thing to get mad at. What should they do? Ship you a $80 yubikey?

Edit: Oh wait! You think you can’t sign in without biometrics. That’s what happens when you spend too much time on Lemmy that mere mention of Google blows a blood vessel.


There is no material loss. It’s not that X.org was swimming in cash before.







I bought an Asus Vivobook (M7400Q) last year. It sells with two variants, Intel and AMD. I obviously chose AMD…only to realise that the thunderbolt port on it has been crippled, not allowing USB-C charging.

Why? Because Intel paid ASUS to do so. So yeah, fuck Intel and fuck ASUS. And finally, the real kicker? ASUS discontinued the model, so I can’t buy a new charger for it either (which I needed for the office).


File a bug, read FAQ, StackOverflow? If you are messing around with window managers on Linux, a certain level of competency is expected. However, I’m more concerned about the weirdos hanging around in a discord chat of said window manager, harassing strangers. Such a strange hobby.



You can’t share your home with religious zealots and murderous hobos. They should get out before the whole country turns in Afghanistan 2.0.


What a nothingburger. How do you people navigate day to day life?


Just watch the Prime “x-ray” animated shorts. That’s the perfect preamble to the books reread.


I only know of Will Smith version of “I am Legend”. There are more?


Another one I’d mention is Rooster Teeth (the whole gang). I watched some of their “shenanigans” videos and they were just destroying office furniture, doing shitty pranks and in general being man-childs.

I just thought all the mess they left behind for everyone not on camera and what a shitshow it must be for the production crew to work with a bunch of internet mini-celebrities. They were basically the OG streaming mansion.

Fast forward a few years and you hear all these allegations of terrible work conditions. Go figure.


Real Engineering

Some really uncritical videos about “pretty out there” startups. It’s basically a PR channel.


OS is meant to be the background, not the reason to boot up your computer.


Exactly this. Clicking super fast makes the captcha keep on going, I’ve had instances where I solved 5 refreshes of captcha and it kept going.

But if you show indecision or confusion by lingering your cursor over one tile and then move after 2 seconds to a different tile and then come back, it will pass in one go.


Don’t most companies have Blackrock on their board, who had been buying real estate for the better part of the last 5 years.






When multiple people report frequent issues, your first instinct shouldn’t be to defend your favourite distro.



Fucking Linus to slimy bitch. You took a bright eyed joyful person and took advantage of them.


Digital currencies, crypto based or not, will end any semblance of freedom whatsoever. Govts will decide what transaction can happen and what cannot. You can forget about supporting any causes that your Govt doesn’t like.

Tech sectors’ eagerness to build this dystopia is appalling.


Walking distance from the office. And doesn’t mean I’ll relocate to a 1 bedroom apartment just to be next to the office.


There are couple of things you can try to debug this:

First run the hugo command to generate the static site. For the paths /posts/ and /about/ to work, there must be directories with the same name in the public folder. And there must be a file index.html in them. If not, then it’s an issue on Hugo side where you haven’t set up these “Kind”. Read up on Hugo “Kind” for more details.

Next you locally serve the generated public folder with command python3 -m http.server 8080. If the paths /posts/ and /about/ work just on localhost:8080, but not with nginx, then something is wrong with nginx config.



Wikileaks is a Russian psyops. Any legitimate work by them is a cover up for Russian propaganda that follows.
