  • Big Tech is turning you into a digital tenant, but there is a way to evict them

  • This thread is calling out a legitimate problem, but things aren't that bad.

    Last year the market grew by 9%. This year it is projected to shrink by 11%. That's huge, but not 80-90%.

  • Google's Antigravity Bait and Switch | Sid's Blog

  • Pycharm with Claude running in a separate terminal works well for me. I tried Antigravity a while ago, until a previous update broke my workflow.

    My use-case focuses on finding and organizing information. I do have a bunch of python and bash scripts, but they're all quite short.

  • How do you talk yourself into doing things you know are good for you but you really don't wanna do?

  • I used fear/anxiety. Adderall works much better, and I have greatly reduced blood pressure.

  • What idiom did you initially misunderstand, but you prefer your interpretation?

  • Why does "piece of crap" have racist undertones?

  • During the Obama Admin I saw a lot of the W Bush Miss Me Yet bill boards traveling the country. How come one or many people put up one of Obama that says, Miss Me Yet?

  • Well, by comparison to the current administration. I would much rather have the shrub back.

  • Ruger and Magpul releasing new LCP MAX with Magpul's enhanced handgun grip module. - TFB

  • That's pretty much how I felt about it, but it's nice to be able to shoot it more. I find that I'm much more accurate with the BG 2.0 than I was with the LCP. In part, I think that's because I shoot it a lot more.

    I never noticed a reliability problem with my lcp2. I don't think I ever shot more than 50 rounds through it at one range session, but I did shoot a box through it on more than one session. I just wore gloves, which took a lot of the sting out of it.

    I have fairly large hands, but I have found that hockey tape is a huge improvement for all of my micro pistols.

  • Ruger and Magpul releasing new LCP MAX with Magpul's enhanced handgun grip module. - TFB

  • I'll be interested to see how it compares to the Bodyguard 2.0. I have an LCP II that is painful to shoot more than a mag or two out of, and the comped BG 2 which is actually pleasant and accurate in my hands.

  • What old thing surprisingly still exists?

  • Came here to say this.

  • People who use apps like "Notion", are you not worried about lock-in due to complex files/data structures?

  • The plugins for Obsidian are much more useful. I think that Joplin is more like a simpler version of Obsidian. Both are solid choices, and both work well paired with a command-line LLM.

  • People who use apps like "Notion", are you not worried about lock-in due to complex files/data structures?

  • Same here, except I never got very deep in Notion, and tried Amplenote as well before settling on Obsidian.

  • Guilty until proven innocent: shoppers falsely identified by facial recognition system struggle to clear their names

  • I just block people who hurl unprovoked insults.

  • Meta’s historic loss in court could cost a lot more than $375 million

  • ... Because

    A sweeping win for New Mexico could energize Torrez and thousands of other plaintiffs currently pursuing cases against tech companies. Conversely, a limited order could be a significant blow. The outcome won’t directly impact other cases, but it will almost certainly color negotiations over potential settlements

  • Do you know any songs about trains?

  • The sandman, the brakeman, and me by Monsters of Folk

    They're a super group of Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), M Ward, and Jim James (My Morning Jacket). They only did one album, but it's brilliant.

  • Is there a split ergonomic keyboard that has dedicated arrow keys and a full row of function keys?

  • Yes. I have one, and I love it. It's a Periboard-535DL.

  • What's your favourite song lyrics?

  • Bottles and Bones, Califone What Sara Said, Death Cab for Cutie Fake Plastic Trees, Radiohead

    Those come to mind as great, "poetry with music" songs, but there are many more.

  • One in 10 people may resist GLP-1 diabetes drugs

  • Resistance is futile!

    Unless you're one of those 10%.

  • ‘I want to cancel’: YouTube Premium quietly hikes its US prices for the first time in three years, forcing many users to consider the unthinkable

  • I wasn't being disingenuous and I just validated my assumptions.

    The cost of compute per million instructions has continued to decrease. The cost of storage on HDD has also continued to decrease, albeit more slowly. The cost of NAND storage has increased due to the supply crunch that Google helped create. Average pay at Google has gone up 5% over the past two years, but this is offset at least in part by mass layoffs. License fees for music have remained stagnant.

    While a lot of those things are arguable one way or another, depending on whose numbers you look at and what specific details you want to focus on, one thing is not. Google's profits have nearly doubled in the past 3 years. There is no reason for a price increase beyond corporate greed.

  • ‘I want to cancel’: YouTube Premium quietly hikes its US prices for the first time in three years, forcing many users to consider the unthinkable

  • I I received the email today telling me that they were going to raise the price of my family plan by $4 per month. I'm guessing that their costs have not increased in any way, and probably have decreased. I assume it's just another squeeze tactic from the company that used to not be evil.

  • It's homeopathic nonsense. None of those are accepted names for the substances they are talking about, and they don't specify a quantity so it could be essentially zero for some of them.
