PSA for anyone bringing Ero devices into your home already containing several Alexas. The Alexas will try to act as WiFi extenders. That's all well and good until you're using an Ero pro 7 mesh and really want the nice fast speeds it can deliver over WiFi. Alexa extenders are limited to 100mbps max, and will clutter everything up, screwing up the mesh hand-off and making it all slow. just turn that off

Users do not care about:
- your pitch deck
- your fancy JIRA process
- how many 5-min calls you hop on
- how many story points that last ticket was
- your runway
- if you use kubernetes, serverless, or bare metal
- if you code in Python or Javascript or C# or Java or Cobol
- if your code coverage is 1% or 100%

They care about software that solves their problems.

All those things you should care about & have an opinion on. But they all come second to software that solves their problems

RE: floss.social/@IzzyOnDroid/1156…

Thanks to our Math friends, this question has been answered 🤗 Now, may we call out to our "root friends": for a timezone updater, an USB keyboard for Keepass2Android, and a "reverse pixelifyer"?

codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every…

Thanks in advance! With your help, we'll get that list done 🤗

Any math fans around here? There are 2 "matrix calculators / solvers" left in codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… which would need a check. Only you can tell how useful they are! 🙏

Tech companies are crying that Americans aren't buying new phones fast enough to keep the economy stimulated. Wages have been stagnant for, what, 44 years and you've got the gall to keep raising prices and cry we're not buying enough?

I don't think you should reward this shit with a click but, in case you must, I've got a barely tweaked URL to save you the trouble I already spent looking up the article.

The Bottom Line Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy Published Sun, Nov 23 202510:05 AM EST Updated Sun, Nov 23 20258:57 PM EST Kevin Williams Key Points Americans are hanging onto their smartphones for much longer than they did a decade ago, but new releases like Apple’s iPhone 17 can entice consumers to upgrade. Businesses tend to hang onto their devices even longer than individual consumers, especially overseas. While it may seem to be a smart money move, it can result in a costly productivity and innovation lag for the economy.

So, have been eyeing up some #cloud #storage. Currently on a Dropbox plan, but pCloud's 60% off lifetime for Black Friday is showing up all over my Facebook feed. I've heard mixed reviews about it, but not having to constantly shell out for DB/Google Drive/whoever else is out there seems nice. I'm looking at the 2TB plan. Normally $600, now $280 with savings. Is it worth it?

@jaanus I hear you. I've poked on it a little and it should soon be using a lighter red for the comments and a yellow version instead of the rather dark blue for function names.

Continuing on the previous toot, let me voice my belief:

NATO is good. We need NATO. NATO is right now the only guarantee that there are no Russian tanks on the streets of my town. Or Vilnius, or Tallin. Ukraine has full rights to join NATO and should do it as quickly as possible.

Dorothy Thompson was a journalist who in 1931 did interview Hitler, where he clearly stated his intent if he was elected.

Has Hitler got elected in 1934, the Gestapo ordered Dorothy Thompson expulsed from Germany because of her critical views and reporting.

i've recently started thinking more about relationships as having two separate axes, romantic vs platonic (relationship content/feelings) and dating vs friendship (relationship structure). platonic friendships and romantic dating relationships are very normalized in our society, but romantic friendships and platonic dating relationships aren't. i think the world would be much better if those latter two were more accepted and common ,,,, i have several friends where i love them dearly and we have romantic feelings towards each other, but we just happen to not be dating , and it makes me sad that that sort of thing isn't more common

Given I don't draw those distinctions strongly myself (friends/lovers/whatever) your post resonates with me a lot; though I'm not sure about the dating/friendship axis. It's kind of hard for me to get what's in there. Like, could you describe the four quadrants just a little?

For me, and I admit this makes me a bit odd, anyone I know well and would call a friend is someone I could love.

"What are you working on?"

I put the soldering iron on its stand and inspected my work.

"A time travel receiver. I figured out the machine can't travel in time itself."

"Do you have a transmitter too?"

I plugged the power in. "Not yet."

A newspaper appeared in the machine.

"I will, next year."

Hey, friends learning #Spanish or #French:

Kwiziq is 40% off for the next week!

This is a fantastic tool with great grammar explanations that uses spaced repetition for grammatical concepts, mostly having you fill in the blank for sentences with the correct word (but also sometimes, multiple choice "which is the correct translation?" stuff).

This is how I plugged the gaps in my Spanish grammar left after doing Duolingo. This is how I passed the DELE B2.
