Honestly the 2nd analog stick I didn't mind too much because the face-buttons made a decent D-pad for the tiny handful of shooters on the DC. The bigger flaw was the lack of 2nd shoulder-buttons.
Also that putting a screen into a controller has always been a solution looking for a problem. It was on the DC, it was on the Wii-U, and there's a good reason they abandoned the idea to put a screen on the PS4 touchpad controller.
So lemmiverse, my https://pxtl.ca domain has officially been booted off of Google Domains (welcome to the Google graveyard, Google Domains) and now has been moved into Squarespace, which is expensive.
Anybody recommend a good cheap .ca TLD domain host? One with a decent API for dynamic DNS so I can keep my home subdomain? I have a couple of pi4 servers in the house that could be tasked with pinging an API endpoint to notify the domain host of my IP.
thanks in advance.
McConnell is the only conservative ghoul I want to see live a very long life, because for all his flaws I know he hates Trump and what Trump stands for as much as anybody and I want to watch him realize what he's done.
In a scathing dissent of the ruling, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote the protection afforded presidents by the court "is just as bad as it sounds, and it is baseless.”

We all have our reasons for tuning in, but thankfully there are also quite a few different ways to watch Donald Trump and Joe Biden make history.

Those ceramic/glasstop ovens are shit. An old school coil will always be better, or modern induction.
I have my own shopping list of Mastodon features that i watched languish in PRs on GitHub. I like Rochko, but he completely failed to meet the moment of Twitter's explosion and make the massive flood of excitement about Mastodon into the real permanent gains that were up for grabs.
Most of my wish list have nothing to do with safety because I'm a straight cis white guy and so my experience of Mastodon is that its userbase is painfully anodyne.
But the point stands that a hard fork with a focus on development velocity is long overdue.
The other two are in AP mode and are not running as routers.
Merlin has the problem that it doesn't have something like like aimesh where you can auto synch the config between all your routers. I've got a network of three Asus routers and they work great and I can admin them like they're one router, and I'd hate to have to give that to up.
Never turn on remote admin. You don't need to admin your router from outside of your house.
Don't worry, Ontario voters are still overwhelmingly supporting the pcpo, I'm sure things will get better.
May as well just say "only when you ask me that" and get to where you were going eventually anyways.
The animation and aesthetic is amazing and I like the music but ... what's the gameplay? I confess I got a little disappointed when it shifted to platformer perspective.
I can't help but notice the stark contrast between the rate of improvement to Lemmy vs the glacial pace of work done on Mastodon. Lemmy seems to embrace the "move fast and break things" ethos so much better than Mastodon which just crawls at implementing critical functionality. Which is funny, I follow Dessalines and Gargron on various platforms; Gargron seems like a much more sensible and reasonable and decent person so this is kinda disappointing.
This is a social network. It's recreation. I want you to move fast and break things. That's how Facebook won. You're not going to chase down the gazelle by walking.
So after everybody saying the Liberals were going to lose this fight, Google flinched.
I mean, I'm still not sure this is good policy but it is nice to see the haters proven wrong.
Source? That would be exceptionally bone-headed messaging to say out loud, and while the Liberals are masters at cramming their feet in their mouths (Freeland in particular) that level of pooping-out-toes is beyond even her.
They're great hardware but the software is bad.
WearOS, at least the Samsung variant of it, is goddamned awful. It seems to want to be a full standalone device when I want it to just be an extension of my phone, and it's an extension of my phone when I want it to stand alone. Worst of both worlds.
I miss my Pebble. Week-long battery, truly always-on-screen, and knew what it was trying to be (just show me notifications)
That's not what I mean. I'm not thinking about Play Store security, but Android OS security. Like, your app physically has to ask for permission (or even require the user manually change settings) to do most unsafe things.
As somebody who occasionally had to develop for android: the churn of improvements to app security was a huge pita. And as a user I know many of the abandoned apps that I liked that lost compatibility was for that reason.
So the fact that in spite of this pain, Android security still allows apps to do horrible crap like that is infuriating.
More than 1 million Palestinians have fled the city since the assault began, scattering around southern and central Gaza.

DevOps is bad because for some reason we've decided to invent new programming languages that you can't debug locally and so you have to keep pushing commits to the pipeline server. It's bullshit.
"Why do you write all your pipelines as shell scripts and then wrap them in yaml at the very end"?
Because then I can run them locally quickly and test individual components of them instead of "edit, commit, push, wait 10 minutes, read error message, repeat".
I knew they'd do it eventually. Use the win11 upgrade to get people to enable tpm and secure boot for like a year or so, but they still want everybody onto win11 eventually so relax he requirement after it has done its job.
I mean yeah. I'm not disagreeing with any of that (except the fact that AI caused it - search engines got destroyed by SEO before AI textgen started crapflooding).
But it is what it is. The SEO spammers won. They defeated Google and Microsoft and DDG's respective search algorithms. Traditional search got killed. The internet got worse instead of better.
In light of this miserable new reality, AI-based content synthesizers (particularly ones that can coherently point to the references for their synthesis) are the current solution to SEO spam. Maybe this is another temporary plateau that the SEO spammers will murder. And yes, it's tragic that this energy-pig of AI is the best solution to something that used to be doable with a simple trie.
But still: there is a real problem today for which an AI-based tech provides the current best solution. In this one specific case, the AI lives up to the hype. It swallows the hellscape of noise of the internet and gives you the signal.
