Not sure why I’m wildly speculating when all this is surely documented somewhere lol

But speculating without reading documentation is so fun! I love doing that, then reading the docs and realising how wrong and backwards my ideas were.

Communicate securely with WhatsApp? That’s an oxymoron.

I do wonder, are seeing more hate, more fear and less freedom because there is more hate, more fear and less freedom, or are we seeing these things because they are now no longer deleted, and there is the same amount of it?

Either way there is no fix for facebook and other facebook owned platforms. Get rid of this shit.

It’s funny people’s X and Wayland experiences are so varied. I could never stop screen tearing with X, on multiple machines, with Wayland I never had any tearing. It brought along different small issues, but never had tearing, which in my opinion was a better option than no issues and tearing. These issues got fixed with time, and now I’d hate to go back to X.

I don’t use Porkbun for DNS, I also don’t use ddns, for that matter, so I wouldn’t know.

Been happy with porkbun.

I’m just surprised they weren’t before.

Alt gorilla version name I wanted to see: Guerilla Gorilla. Could’ve even kept the wallpaper the same.

“Young Chinese women have small fingers,” the article reads, “and that has made them a valuable contributor to iPhone production because they are more nimble at installing screws and other miniature parts in the small device, supply chain experts said.”

Fucking what? Who are these supply chain experts? Did you pull them out of your ass?

This reads like AI. I’ve lost any speck of respect I still had for NYT.

I don’t follow

Msys2 was not created for devops, I just happen to be a devops engineer who uses it. Their websites describes it as:

MSYS2 is a collection of tools and libraries providing you with an easy-to-use environment for building, installing and running native Windows software.

Because it makes software building, packaging and distributing as simple aand standardised as it is on Linux, it means they effectively have a very good CLI on their hands. On my work laptop, I now use WezTerm with fish shell and helix editor for my workflow, and live in the terminal. Would this be possible to do without msys2 or wsl? Yes, but it would be a huge pain.

I was in the same boat as you, except that I came to the conclusion it was worth paying for. Then perplexity came out, and that decision was a little harder to justify, but I stuck with kagi.

Then my ISP gave me a year of perplexity pro along with my internet speed upgrade. As much as I hate AI tools being everywhere, some of them are good, and Perplexity pro is one of them. Now that I’ve tried it, I think it’s worth it to the point that I’d pay for it even if my ISP didn’t give me the subscription.

I could never figure out how to set it up a sort from the one with Git.

That’s because the one provided with git is a nerfed version of msys2. If you install msys2 as a standalone thing from their website, you get everything you need for a functional CLI on windows. Most importantly, you get a real package manager and decently populated repositories.

But if the people deciding what the meter was at first were allowed to make errors

It’s not that they were allowed to make errors, it’s more like they made errors and didn’t know any better.

why werent the people deciding what the new meter was?

They may very well have made a mistake, and we just haven’t noticed yet.

I’ve recently started using windows again for work, after not touching it for like 15 years, msys2 makes it tolerable.

I’m a devops engineer, and my company won’t allow me to use WSL. Go figure.

I’m allergic to subscriptions, but I might just consider it.

Huh, I would like to see that.

ContraPoints is fantastic, but I have a hard time watching the content if I’m not in the headspace for it.

Eh, I wouldn’t turn myself down, but I’d certainly not go out of my way to hit on me. I’m not really my type.

If the issue truly is the DNS, then the solution should be to just change your DNS, @Mothra@mander.xyz
