Why I refuse to upgrade - 8 minutes video explaining why it's not that interesting to upgrade phones nowadays
  • I've been using a 12 Pro and if it wasn't for the version number in the name I wouldn't even be aware of its age. They are all so fast these days the battery dies long before it becomes too slow to use. If it wasn't for CarPlay and iMessage I'd absolutely use a flip phone with Android Go or something.

  • Switch performs better running games through an emulator emulating the switch than natively.
  • Additionally, as a high level emulator Yuzu sacrifices some accuracy for speed. It’s possible that this allows it to also be faster than the official implementation.

  • This is the way
  • Noob. I once accidentally seeded to a ratio of 435 and blew 2TB of data 🥴

  • Ain't no rule
  • Let’s be real they wouldn’t notice at all lol

  • China's latest stealth tech promises invisible fighter jets, says report
  • They also claimed to have “quantum” phased radar. Until we see it in Janes or other OSINT it isn’t credible.

  • Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox
  • Unfortunately the problem lies with the foundation. The one thing they made worth a damn in the past decade was Rust, and they promptly fired the whole Rust team. Servo is maintained by the Linux foundation now ffs. What does the foundation do besides zombie walk and eat Googles money?

  • Ordering workers back to the office a 'power grab' by bosses, research suggests
  • Cloud native as in “we were founded and began our operations fully remote and via cloud services”. Our company owns no physical assets.

  • Ordering workers back to the office a 'power grab' by bosses, research suggests
  • I was hybrid at my last job and I’m full remote at my current one (company is cloud native), I will never again work onsite unless I’m seeing a huge raise for it. The office isn’t worth the time or politics.

  • Anticolonirule
  • In the spirit of Aloha, this should be an island holiday.

  • Firefox Devs Working on Tab Previews
  • Same. Install Firefox on a ChromeBook, which are almost all universally low powered, then watch it chug.

    I don’t care how long the former CEO has been involved with the foundation, she has not been good for Mozilla.

  • CIA Vault7 WikiLeaks source sentenced 40 years (convicted of possessing child sexual abuse material)
  • When they’re done with you they don’t just destroy your life, but your legacy too. To serve as a warning to anyone else thinking of betraying them. That’s tradecraft.

  • RHEL's Source Code Access Change Is Causing Issues For CentOS SIGs
  • I said something similar once before when they first announce me their decision to kneecap themselves, but it’s worth saying again:

    They gained nothing from this decision. We used CentOS to trial deployments to prod servers running RHEL. We like how stable RHEL was. We appreciated the service agreements. We especially like how CentOS freed us from worrying about licensing. Their boneheaded decision ruined all of that. Before I left we had plans to migrate off RHEL (I asked an old coworker they actively are) because we can’t trust IBM not to Oracle us with some other world-ending BS in six months. Hundreds of RHEL servers and licenses gone, for what? They lost control of the open-source narrative when they shotgunned CentOS, and now the community initiative is led by people who don’t like them. Do yourself a favor and make it a priority to achieve Linux platform independence before RedHat is further Borgified by Big Blue.

  • Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too
  • Funny how the EU council considers iOS to be a big problem but not Microsoft’s behavior around Edge. Both need to be corrected, but only one has seen any action - and it ain’t Microsoft.

  • ‘Significant security loophole’ found in Google software container system
  • Over the past five years infosec has turned into a shitshow of showboating. Every exploit has to have a logo and catchy name. Attacks are widely hyped up despite the conditions for usage being extremely difficult or outright stupid. If you are assigning blanket permissions to a group that shouldn’t have it that is your fault. Obstructing stupidity is not in the scope of the container engine.

  • Lenovo bets its Motorola smartphone brand will be the third-biggest globally in 3 years
  • I was baffled because none of the reviews mentioned it. Did they seriously not try anything demanding to run on it and not notice the problems? I spent nearly as much on it as my Mac and I somehow got something even slower than it. I just want a business class Linux laptop that doesn’t suck.

  • Lenovo bets its Motorola smartphone brand will be the third-biggest globally in 3 years
  • The old ones are good, but the newer ones are disappointing. I had a 9th gen X1 specced out and it was unusable for development. It would thermal throttle after only 2 minutes on anything more than 40% CPU. Keyboard was nice and screen was ok, but the thermals and battery life was horrible.

  • https://gohugo.io/

    Free themes are available on their gohugo repo and there a plenty of paid ones. I enjoy the live reloading and ability to change it all easily with text files.

  • I used to use Ghost. Mostly on Hugo these days.
