I've always dreamed of a world in which we have to optimize code for memory usage more often, but I did not expect it to come about because of market distortions by an AI bubble.

By the way, I'm an independent consultant who would be thrilled to optimize your code for you! :)

RE: mastodon.social/@Craigp/115788…

if you use firefox set browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled to false in about:config


The newest version of Firefox added browser.ml.linkPreview.* settings in about:config, which apparently serve no purpose other than popping up massive, stupid overlays where they offer to use AI to describe the bookmark you've visited 500 times.

So fuckin' stupid that we have to constantly disable more and more settings they've randomly added to get around the fact that we've disabled all the settings. It's just the fucking worst, people that run companies are all brain-dead assholes.

Dropbox is trash. Have to join a shared folder but can't because apparently I'm using 360% of my available storage, oh no. The root folder is empty, I left all shared folders, I don't have photos uploaded... Asked Claude, apparently it's a backup feature I have turned on somewhere somewhen, but no idea how to turn it off anymore. Meanwhile, on Windows it's spamming you with stupid notifications, and on the web and mobile app, it's trying to shove the premium plans up your throat no matter where you click. Even if I get this crap resolved, no way I'm even considering using that again. Can't we just have a good cloud option these days?
in reply to Simon Jaeger

@simon Nope, not in settings for me, but I found the direct link and am now deleting stuff. Also they now introduced a 500GB plan for 5,99€, but with no additional perks such as more devices, just plainly 500GB storage. The bad thing is that, from mobile for example, you have no other way than subscribing to get these stupid alerts away, in case you are in a hurry and need to join a folder or something. You must mess around somewhere on the web to eventually find what they're complaining about.

Krásné dobré ráno mastodonští! 🙋‍♀️🐈🐶
Je suchý mráz. Svítí velké žluté kulaté. To je vám taková paráda! Jeho Lordstvo dostalo půlku vařeného vejce. Sir Artur kus rybičky. Já si dávám ranní kávu. Den jako malovaný.
Musím říct, že Archibald klame tělem. Vypadá jako roztomilý medvídek, který neumí do pěti napočítat. Ale nevím, jaké geny v něm dřímají. Občas se stane, že chytí stopu. Zavětří jako Bloodhound, nahodí vrtuli a mizí v dálce s čumákem při zemi. Tuhle ho zase přepadnou chrtí myšlenky. Letí jako tryskáč, nožičky nejsou vidět, překážky neexistují. Úplný Falco. A pak má chvilky, kdy je proti němu Rotvajler hadr. Kde se v něm bere to hluboké vrčení a vlčí dravost? Porve se s vámi jako zarputilý buldok. Člověk by se ho na chvilku i bál.
A pak sebou plácne na gauč. Kříženec lachtana, knedle, čuníka, tousťáku, kočky a brambory.
Vy si taky najděte nějaký objekt k prozkoumání. Jen pozor, jestli nemá ostré zuby. Aby vás nehryznul. 😇

Hier gerade: Ein Rücksturz in die 90er.

Damals wohnten wir in einem Haus, das seit den frühen 70ern eine Sechser-WG war und in der links-alternativen Szene Triers einen berühmt-berüchtigten Ruf als Zentrum allen Chaos, aber auch als Ort legendärer WG-Feten hatte.

Für die Badezimmertüre gab es keinen Schlüssel mehr, sodass man, wenn man ungestört bleiben wollte, laut Musik hörte.

Je nach Musik wusste man, wer sich gerade im Bad befand. Z. B. hörte Mitbewohnerin T. entweder Element of Crime, Ry Cooder oder Buena Vista Social Club.

Jetzt hat meine Liebste die Badezimmer-Musiktradition wiederaufgenommen und ich muss nun an unsere ehemalige Mitbewohnerin T. denken, weil meine Liebste Talking Timbuktu von Ry Cooder hört. ^_^

in reply to Marco Zehe

Das ist alles vorgekommen. Auch, dass während zwei Leute zusammen in der Wanne badeten, sich andere Mitbewohner*innen einen kleinen Tisch und Stühle holten, um zusammen Backgammon zu spielen oder zu quatschen. Vom Bad aus kam man auch auf das Dach vom Anbau. Im Sommer schliefen wir darauf und dort wuchsen auch die Hanfpflanzen. Du siehst - Intimsphäre war bei uns meist nur optional. ;-)

Agréablement surprise de voir que le site des bibliothèques de Paris a été mis à jour pour ajouter des informations sur l’accessibilité numérique des epubs que l’on peut emprunter.

Le site lui est encore loin d'être accessible malheureusement.

Anyone using S3 (compatible) storage for incremental backups of Linux and/or MacOS machines at home? If yes, what backup software/tool? Open source preferred. My first unfocused research suggests to look at restic [1] and maybe just some scripting around rclone [2]. Any hints/links welcome! (Yes, this is part of my project to use local S3 compatible storage based on garage [3])

There is a CLI tool that lets you do common video and audio operations without having to remember complex ffmpeg syntax. There is no AI and no API calls, just old school pattern matching. It’s fast, works offline, and feels like video editing in plain English right from your CLI. For example, you can simply type:
```
ff convert my-file.mp4 to gif
```
And it will generate the ffmege command for you:
```
ffmpeg -i my-file.mp4 -vf fps=15,scale=480:-1:flags=lanczos -loop 0 -y video_output.gif
```
