Seemingly every video still includes sponsor segments. I use ublock origin with sponsorblock and actually see zero ads.

Oh good, I’m glad we’re finding time for this as the global economy collapses.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Pebble Has Been Brought BackEnglish
281·1 year agoPebbleOS was awesome, though. Such a well thought out system for end-users, and it already has tons of apps. Developing for it (in C!) is also super easy because it has an amazing SDK.
It’s not stealing when billionaires do it.

5·2 years agoThe color ones have lower resolution screens and less contrast+brightness than black and white. If you read comics it’s a big step up, but if you read mostly black and white text, it’s a downgrade.
My T14 is a great machine. The keyboard is excellent, and its Linux support it great, too. However the screen is pretty bad and has a bad ratio for coding, it always looks dirty because its black shell shows all the oil from your fingerprints. If something breaks out of warranty, you’re pretty much SOL. Whereas with the Framework, I can upgrade and fix any component, up to and including the mainboard/CPU.
I’m super picky with laptops and have a bunch. Thinkpads, Macbooks… Framework 13 AMD is my daily driver that I prefer over all of those. It runs brilliantly with NixOS. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•You're overcomplicating productionEnglish
202·2 years agoHi friend, this was just meant to be an introduction, as I get started blogging and sharing back some knowledge and lessons I learned along the way. I’ve never written a blog before (or much of anything!), and I’m sorry you didn’t find value in this.
I wasn’t intending to boast, but I can see how it came across. I just meant to say, “companies are trying to tell you that you need ‘XYZ’ to scale,” and at least at the size of business I ran, you didn’t need any fancy tech at all – we could have made do with a dead-simple setup: a single server running Go and SQLite. It’s something I wish I had known when I started.
I’ll take your feedback to heart and try to produce larger, more substantial posts to follow. Thanks for commenting.

8·2 years agoIs it too late for, “I use nix btw”? I use it at home and for development.
I planned to focus this blog series on ol’ faithful (Debian), but I could definitely see writing articles on how to use Nix and OpenBSD if people find it helpful.

Technology@lemmy.world•How ‘Deepfake Elon Musk’ Became the Internet’s Biggest ScammerEnglish
87·2 years agoSince when is Deepfake Musk a bigger scammer than real Musk? The man’s been selling “full self-driving” upgrades to Teslas for years, and they’re no closer to “full self-driving” now than they were at the start. Surely real Musk has scammed far more people.

12·2 years agoThen they make you use them for DNS. May or may not be a big deal, but the reason it’s at cost is to act as a loss leader to get you exposed to and buying their other products.

6·2 years agoWarning, do NOT connect Vizio to the internet. They were busted for sending images of all content you watched to their servers, so they could profile you and sell that data. Who knows what else they’ll get up to in a secret update down the road.
This is the way. My Brother laserjet is 15 years old and still kicking!
The one time a year you need to print photos, go to a FedEx Office or CVS.
