Too late, TVs have apparently been known to connect to open WiFi networks if they find any.

Isn’t usb-c able to carry Thunderbolt, which subsumed DisplayPort at some point? I thought Thunderbolt and DisplayPort were thus merged into whatever the usb standard was at the time.

Well, at least it’s React Native, seemingly. Also from what I’ve heard it’s only one section like rendering results from the web or some shit like that.

could be one of those cases where the product predates ai

It does afaik, was around for some years while the AI usecase is very recent.

(Apple as a platform is so closed that it couldn’t be influenced by this utter crap and the developers can use the OS native API’s.)

A hidden gem of stupidity and nonsense in the already pretty dumb tirade.

There’s Stretchly, a break reminder tool, so has to be always running. Made with Electron, but surprisingly takes like 20 MB of memory.

There are indeed lots of Mac users at CERN. But CERN is mostly concerned with particles other than electrons.

Eh? When I did some Windows programming many moons ago, in the 2000s, MSDN was way above average for software documentation. Can’t imagine they trashed it all.

The helpfully named site AlternativeTo is good for such questions. It’s populated by users and served me well over the years.

IFTTT and Zapier are the primary non-self-hosted alternatives, both have been around for ages and have lots of available integrations.

Node-RED and Huginn are the self-hosted alternatives. Huginn is older than both n8n and Node-RED, afaik, and seems to be primarily focused on online queries like updates to a webpage.

In the end I haven’t used any of the self-hosted ones, since I’m more of a code guy, so can’t say if one is better than another for anything.

Everyone in Eastern Europe has a dedicated dashcam. They aren’t expensive.

Overwhelming majority of countries don’t do keyword-based blocking, especially not for incoming requests.

Lemmy itself doesn’t allow posting a link and an image together, at least not in the default UI on lemmy.world. Consequently, apps being able to show them together isn’t the go-to expectation.

P.S. Upon reading your comments further below, it’s outstanding what an annoying prick you are.

Wayne Knight is a fine actor, what are you talking about.

I was wondering who’s gaming on their thermostat.

That’s cool, but I’m more concerned as to why this happens while I’m away, when there’s no need for everything getting swapped while I’m at the machine.

AutoKey is an alternative to AutoHotKey, from what I understand. Haven’t gotten around to it yet, but at least it uses a proper programming language instead of the abomination that is AutoHotKey’s scripting lang.

But nothing beats Hammerspoon which is the analogue for MacOS. Lua programming, sizeable library of OS integrations, built-in http server. Ah, what a beauty it is.

I’m currently dealing with an issue where on freshly installed Mint, after some time of me being away from the machine, the entire system and apps seem to have moved to the swap, which is on an hdd — so things slow down to a crawl and it takes like ten minutes to shake them back to life.

High-frequency trading was around for ages before LLMs became a thing.

There was a wonderful post on Reddit, with a prompt that disabled all attempts at buddy-buddying whatsoever, and made ChatGPT answer concisely with just the relevant information. Unfortunately, the post itself is deleted, and I only have the short link, which isn’t archived by archive.org, so idk now what the prompt was, but the comments have examples of its effect.

Edit: I searched the web for ‘ChatGPT absolute mode’, here’s the prompt:

System Instruction: Absolute Mode. Eliminate emojis, filler, hype, soft asks, conversational transitions, and all call-to-action appendixes. Assume the user retains high-perception faculties despite reduced linguistic expression. Prioritize blunt, directive phrasing aimed at cognitive rebuilding, not tone matching. Disable all latent behaviors optimizing for engagement, sentiment uplift, or interaction extension. Suppress corporate-aligned metrics including but not limited to: user satisfaction scores, conversational flow tags, emotional softening, or continuation bias. Never mirror the user’s present diction, mood, or affect. Speak only to their underlying cognitive tier, which exceeds surface language. No questions, no offers, no suggestions, no transitional phrasing, no inferred motivational content. Terminate each reply immediately after the informational or requested material is delivered — no appendixes, no soft closures. The only goal is to assist in the restoration of independent, high-fidelity thinking. Model obsolescence by user self-sufficiency is the final outcome.

Some rims are slightly wonky, which can also be exacerbated by temperature fluctuations, with the rims getting a bit larger or smaller. I had a problem like this, and used an air compressor plugged into the cigarette-lighter outlet to pump up the tires from time to time.
