There was a time when I was actually worried about job security due to an overabundance of young people wanting to enter the field. Nowadays, not so much.

On the other hand, I'm instead now worrying that younger generations might become even less able to understand the importance of digital rights if they don't even understand the basics of the technology.

They've basically perfected keeping the community mostly happy by toeing the line between putting out solid base games and putting out greedy DLC.

What we're now seeing is what happens when you don't immediately change course after you skimp on making a good base game.

Only sort of related, but it's kind of insane how many different phones Samsung releases. Checking GSMArena, they've apparently released an average of two phones per month over the last year.

Seems a bit overkill to me.

The naming of WSL sort of makes sense because it's actually build upon a kernel feature, which hass been mostly unused for more than a decade, called subsystems. There's the 'subsystem for Win32', which is the primary one that all Windows applications use, and then there were also the 'subsystem for POSIX' as well as the 'subsystem for 'OS/X'. WSL was simply a reboot of that technology.

The funny part is that this turned out to be too complex so WSL 2 ditched all that and simply uses a VM running the actual kernel in the background, so the name isn't even accurate anymore.

Not sure how standard this is, but on Pixel phones the default is no auto rotation, but when the phone detects rotation it will display a tiny rotate button in the corner of the screen for just a few seconds. Best of both worlds IMO.

Pretty weird that such a long article doesn't even mention Home Assistant once.

I understand that it's not the easiest to set up for the average person, but given how much pain all these online services and different hubs have caused the author, it's weird that it doesn't even get a shout-out.

I'm sorry, but if you see a 25% difference in a benchmark, that means your methodology is somehow flawed. A few percentage in either direction would be believable, but this difference would be so comical if true, that extra wariness is needed.

There's a few thing that look a bit off to me, but most importantly it seems like your OBS settings are wildly different between systems. It's a bit hard to make out, but it seems like you're doing CPU-based encoding on Linux and GPU-based encoding on Windows.

What kind of content are you guys getting from there?

For me it's probably best described as "background chatter", so mostly a bunch of different news sites that aren't important enough for me to go into my RSS feed, bots posting notifications, and random thoughts from bloggers.

Any stuff like that to help onboarding Mastodon?

There are those that help you to stay on your home instance as well, but the big one for me is StreetPass for Mastodon, which finds and collects Mastodon accounts as you browse the web. That way you can organically build your network without much effort. You'd be surprised how many accounts from news sites, open source projects and people with blogs you can find that way.

Thankfully, while I have a smart plug from them, I've made sure that it's a Zigbee powered one, meaning it's directly connected to my Home Assistant server over it's own frequency/protocol, no app required. Guess that choice is paying off now.

Also, someone should tell whoever is managing that Twitter support account that you should never use the phrase "We're sorry you feel that way", even when you're going for a non-apology.

Something I completely missed, due to the insanity that is the runtime fee, is that they're also getting rid of their Plus subscription.

While Plus never had a bunch of benefits, it was basically the edition for individuals and very small teams who just wanted to get rid of the splash screen. These users would have to use Pro now, which is 5x more expensive at 2040$/year/seat.

The roadmaps over last few years already showed that they don't really care about indie devs anymore, but now it feels like they've become actively hostile.

As someone who knows almost nothing about the topic, wouldn't some (most?) of these parts be big enough that a small change in temperature or air pressure alone would cause these parts to expand/shrink enough to go over the tolerance limit?

Two things I also like to do is changing my Youtube bookmark to https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions and adding the following two filters to uBlock:

www.youtube.com##.ytp-endscreen-content
www.youtube.com###related

This basically makes it so that I only see videos from channels I'm actually subscribed to, without having any content pushed on me from the algorithm.
