Houses, that is. Apartments... probably not.

#

Also basements!

cinder karma
#

Apartments too

hushed raven
#

Kansas ranch = space, new York not so much

crystal wren
#

New York has plenty of room if you're filthy rich. SDVkrobusgiggle

red crest
#

we have a top load washer and a front load dryer side by side but it's in a tiny cramped pantry

safe dragon
#

looking through american homes on zillow is fun sometimes

#

looking at them when using to the dutch house market feels surreal

#

what do you mean your house doesn't share even a single wall with a neighbor

#

are you rich

marble jewel
#

I have a chest freezer, and I do fill it with lots of meats

crystal wren
#

That's exactly what I want one for.

#

Plus that they're just so much more efficient.

marble jewel
#

I shop for my meat about once a month, and just buy whole roasts and such and carve out my own pieces

safe dragon
#

damn

#

I visit my grocery shop at the corner of my street like 3 times a week

crystal wren
#

My freezer right now is about 50% fish, and 50% vegetables.

marble jewel
#

I shop more frequently for everything else, like fresh produce

red crest
#

having a grocery store within a 5 to 10min walk is a dream and something I sorely miss after my time in Wales

safe dragon
#

my freezer is loafs of bread and a bunch of glass "tupperware" with leftovers

hushed raven
#

Our chest freezer is used for the same, a lot of meat, and a lot of ore prepped veg, great to toss in a stew

hushed raven
red crest
#

everywhere as long as you can drive

safe dragon
#

it's illegal in much of the US

hushed raven
#

Ohh ofc US is car centric

marble jewel
#

I used to have a walking distance grocery store, once upon a time

red crest
#

or live somewhere with good public transport (good luck)

safe dragon
#

well, it's not illegal to have a grocery store within 10 minutes. More so that zoning laws prevent it from being possible unless you get luckcy

hushed raven
#

Zoning laws stop you from having a corner shop in a residential area? Wtf?

safe dragon
#

yeah

hushed raven
#

Wow that's messed up

red crest
#

if there was a shop then it would no longer be a residential area

safe dragon
#

many common zoning types don't even allow anything except standalone family homes

hushed raven
#

US zoning laws are weird

marble jewel
#

There are places that have more relaxed zoning laws, and the consequences are pretty apparent

safe dragon
#

it's not like most of the rest of the world where only industry is fully separated from residential

marble jewel
#

Like have noise or pollution right next to homes

marble jewel
#

I remember that being a thing when I lived in Texas

cinder karma
#

I will produce every vegetable i eat

#

In my own back yard

safe dragon
#

the US is like perfectly fine-tuned to both waste as much space as they can and make everything you need as far away as possible

tranquil grove
#

the one corner store in my entire town is farther away than a (closed) steel mill SDVpuffersquint

#

the power of car-first planning

hushed raven
safe dragon
#

ok I mean I grew up directly next to a water purification plant

#

so maybe I'm wrong about industry being separated

red crest
#

can't walk to the grocery store but I can walk to the cement manufacturing plant I can see from my front yard

safe dragon
#

lmao

#

I have at least 5 grocery stores within a 15 minutes walk

#

I do kinda cheat cause I can walk into the city center within 15 minutes

dusty pollen
#

there's no "can't" in "hostile architecture" ๐Ÿ˜Œ

cinder karma
#

Technically i can bike to the grocery store

safe dragon
#

technically anyone can

red crest
#

i can't, I don't own a bike

hushed raven
#

Technically I can fly to the grocery store, I just need a trebuchet

safe dragon
#

ok fair

#

not everyone can cycle either

dusty pollen
#

what counts as a grocery store

red crest
#

if I tried to bike here I think I'd get run over by a golf cart

dusty pollen
#

I can get to the corner shop in 15 minutes

hushed raven
#

A shop that sells grocery's

dusty pollen
#

which has most groceries I guess

hushed raven
safe dragon
#

if it sells stuff beyond what you'd find at a gas station/convenience store I'm count it

dusty pollen
#

what would that be

cinder karma
#

(I can bike to the actual grocery store....it is a 4 mile bike ride but that isnt bad)

#

But also

safe dragon
#

a fresh produce section... a meats section

cinder karma
#

I dream of a world where I produce all my own produce

hushed raven
#

I can get to 2 supermarkets in a 15 min walk, bump that up to 30 mins though and I can get to 6

dusty pollen
#

uh, I guess technically it has both of those, they just aren't super appealing SDVpuffersquee

hushed raven
#

Then there's SO MANY corner shops

safe dragon
#

I have more grocery stores than corner shops

tranquil grove
#

the raw distance to a real store isn't bad here, but the road design is, so it was a literal hour by bike last time I tried SDVpufferdizzy

hushed raven
tranquil grove
#

(also my balance isn't great, so it'd have to be a small trip etc)

safe dragon
#

idk if I'll ever have a backyard in my life let alone a farm

#

there's small farming plots you can rent in my city though idk what they cost

marble jewel
#

I grew up with a large backyard. I'd like to have one again someday.

hushed raven
#

Just fill your house with pots and troughs

marble jewel
#

I have a yard, but options are pretty limited as far as what I'd be able to do with it

safe dragon
#

my dad at one point built a greenhouse on our tiny balcony with an automatic watering system for his cacti and succulents

hushed raven
#

www fancy! Love a good automated system

safe dragon
#

it's long gone now

marble jewel
#

Check out handsonkatie for some neat automated/DIY home systems. Her content is a bit gratuitous, but actually pretty interesting.

#

She has a smart garden, among other things

safe dragon
#

all I get out of whatching american DIY things is that y'all seemingly don't need specialty drills to get into the walls

#

which I'm kinda jealous of

hushed raven
#

Same! Masonry bits are a pain and so loud

red crest
#

sometimes you barely need a drill at all

marble jewel
#

Well lucky for you HandsOnKatie is not American

safe dragon
#

my mom has like 1 neighbor with a drill that we all borrow to drill into the walls

#

we've got our own drill but it's like petting the wall

crystal wren
tranquil grove
#

...somehow this town has no rules about what to use a back yard for SDVpufferwoke
they ticket people constantly for weeds/etc so I'd assumed otherwise

safe dragon
#

"oh that was reinforced concrete rebar not a stud"

crystal wren
#

More... "oh yeah, every internal wall is brick"...

safe dragon
marble jewel
#

Having easy to find mounting points every 16" apart is nice

hushed raven
#

Studs? The only stud it'll find is one of the horses in the field next door

marble jewel
#

But if you don't have studs, how do you make the dad joke?

hushed raven
crystal wren
#

Well, wire/pipe detectors are often also stud finders.

#

So you can still make the joke!

hushed raven
marble jewel
#

Or rather, our mounting points are mostly reversible with a bit of patching, but I imagine drilling into bricks is a bit more work to undo

crystal wren
#

It's... less great for that, yeah.

hushed raven
#

Nahh just shove some spackle in it and call it a day

crystal wren
#

Like you can fill them, but it's literally never going to be exactly as strong if you need to drill close to it.

hushed raven
#

Oh ye there's no chance of getting it as strong again

safe dragon
#

oh yeah once you've it's there for life

#

you can at best just hide it

crystal wren
#

Plsu side though is mount points are literally everywhere in the walls.

marble jewel
#

I've remounted my TV 3 times just to have it in a slightly different place and to try it out on the other wall

safe dragon
#

I don't own a drill

rain apex
#

If only u can just pick that up with a click

safe dragon
#

my tv just sits on a tv stand

marble jewel
#

First was in the most obvious place, but after realizing there was a glare, I switch it to the otherwall

safe dragon
#

my tv is honestly just room decoration

#

it has no internet and no cable

marble jewel
#

Replace it with a picture frame, and no one will notice

safe dragon
#

"huh didn't know your tv was plugged in"

#

it isn't actually

#

I'm using the socket I used for the tv for a little water fountain for cats from when they visited me a few months ago

crystal wren
rain apex
#

Picture frames these days r just tvs

#

Lcd screen

safe dragon
#

huh

#

a picture frame is a picture frame

#

that's not electronics

hushed raven
#

12 quid is pretty decent for a bit like that

crystal wren
#

Yeah, I was really surprised.

safe dragon
#

I mean my grandma had a funky little slideshow picture frame thing on a little table in her living room

#

I guess that was electronic

tranquil grove
#

yeah, they've made digital image frames for a while

#

not ubiquitous for obvious reasons, but I think my parents have one

hushed raven
#

I got one as a gift at some point and it immediately stopped working, I haven't bought another and I likely ever will, plus I don't like needing to change battries

#

If it was colour e ink I would consider it

crystal wren
#

Let me know when colour e-i

#

...nk looks good enough.

marble jewel
#

I've been in the market for a good digital photo frame, and Smart Home Solver did a video recently comparing the best options, but all of them aren't quite what I'm looking for yet

tranquil grove
#

(oh right, I should get an actual e-ink reader someday SDVpufferpensive)

safe dragon
#

I bought a color e-ink reader but it had horrendous rainbow dithering on black and white content like manga panels so I returned it

marble jewel
#

Ideally whichever solution I use would not be dependent on anything cloud and it would use a color e-ink display but actually look good

#

I think most options only let you pick 2 of those 3

hushed raven
#

The revolution on ceinks are pretty good, they're still quite washed out still though which is a shame

crystal wren
#

Raspberry Pi + colour e-ink display + a custom solution would probably be my goto for something like that, honestly.

#

Like that is something you could easily enough roll your own for.

safe dragon
#

use some off the shelf slideshow program...

marble jewel
#

I'd also like a good enough e-ink reader to faithfully represent manga/graphic novels

hushed raven
#

Honestly even an Rpi is overkill, the off brand ones are much cheaper and pretty much identical for such low resource applications like that

dusty pollen
#

eink took me a while to get used to, what do you mean image maintenance takes no battery use

safe dragon
#

apparently the rainbow effect on light grays is an inherent flaw of color eink that the rendering engine is supposed to correct for

#

that boox thing did not however

hushed raven
#

Oh my eink reader was also boox! It was very very washed out

red crest
#

I've seen some pretty good color eink but only if you wanna spend your life savings on it

dusty pollen
#

I'm guessing it's a result of light greys being rendered as rgb components or something?

hushed raven
#

Oh wait no it wasn't boox my mistake, it was nook, I just found it

safe dragon
#

I forgot the details tbh but it's caused by it achieving gray with a dithering effect but because there's 3 pigments physically separated it needs to be really smart with what pigment it uses where when dithering

cinder karma
#

Smart. Garden

#

What

devout vault
#

I've been tempted to get it recently after learning it still pays the creators if you have it, and apparently recent changes mean that adblocking doesn't count as a view (and so doesn't count towards algorithm stuff)

#

(also does anybody else remember back when the YT app icon was a TV?)

safe dragon
#

I do remember that

hushed raven
#

That was an iPhone exclusive I believe

safe dragon
#

I had youtube premium for quite a while cause I also used youtube music

marble jewel
#

I still miss Google Play Music

hushed raven
#

It has never been a TV on anything I've owned, which was around the time it was a TV on iPhone and apple devices

hushed raven
marble jewel
#

I used to hit "I'm Feeling Lucky" all the time, nothing is quite like it

safe dragon
#

honestly having gone back to spotify now I really miss youtube music's recommendation algorithm

#

spotify is just not good at it idk

marble jewel
#

Google Play Music was replaced by YouTube Music a long time ago

incredible

#

I've still got nothin there smh

#

I actually tried practically ever remotely feasible alternative to spotify/youtube music

marble jewel
#

I don't know where to find the Discord one, although I can't imagine what it would even show for me

#

It'll probably say I spend most of my time here

safe dragon
#

unfortunately it's not a great landscape out there when you primarily listen to japanese music

#

spotify or youtube music is all u got

#

or apple music i suppose maybe idk

tranquil grove
#

i would simply acquire mp3s from mysterious places

safe dragon
#

I tried like deezer and qobuz and tidal

tranquil grove
#

(honestly all my new music is game OSTs lately)

hushed raven
#

I used to use Deezer, but then I found about a way to get mp3s directly, then it became a pain to download music, so I went back to Spotify given I wasn't paying for it

safe dragon
#

the mp3 route just doesn't work for me because I practically never listen to playlists I made. I pretty much solely use the artist radio's or genre compilations

hushed raven
#

I shove everything into a single playlist and put it on shuffle, it's a fun game

steel kraken
#

My source of music is just YouTube mixes with sponsorblock on top to make it more smooth

hushed raven
#

Classical piano or ear bleeding death metal

#

Who knows!

safe dragon
#

youtube music knowing my youtube history gives me fun things like suddenly autoplaying Pumpkin Cowboy by bdg

steel kraken
#

These days is mostly vtuber music, but occasionally covers of videogame music like from familyjules sneaks in still

cinder karma
safe dragon
#

vtuber music also called jpop

#

ok some of it isn't jpop

tranquil grove
#

this year my "actually focusing on work" playlist is just these on shuffle

safe dragon
#

A lot of the stuff I listen to do be the things vtubers like to cover

tranquil grove
#

(gangsters is a very old game with like 5 songs on disc, but i like them)

devout vault
#

My youtube recap isn't interesting, nobody would care to see it. Totally not posting because the top channel is ||a reaction youtuber (IN MY DEFENSE his seem much more high effort than most I've seen, isn't just simply laughing at particular parts, for example. and its edited down so much that most of each episode isn't even in the video, just some specific moments from the episode(s))||

#

Second top channel is YouTuber Who Tortures Games (Let's Game It Out), and third is Ethoslab

devout vault
#

( || So I've really only watched his owl house series, and his ongoing she-ra (netflix version) series|| )

steel kraken
#

What I expected tbh

safe dragon
#

just a list of 5 vtubers

steel kraken
#

And 5 vtuber originals

#

2 of which are eurobeat

tranquil grove
#

oh hey, amalee's the only one of those I've watched stream
since I follow a friend of hers with like 0.1% of the viewer base SDVkrobusgiggle

safe dragon
#

I have a vtuber on there

tranquil grove
#

all my vtuber knowledge is tangential, mostly via manga authors gushing about them

safe dragon
#

I always play on autogenerated playlists to the point that I have no idea what the fuck ใ‚ทใƒฃใƒซใƒซ is

#

and it's my second most listened to song

tranquil grove
#

somehow sharuru means charles, googling it SDVpufferthinkblob

safe dragon
devout vault
#

Yeah this seems accurate. (KAR isn't higher because its so new ๐Ÿ˜” )

safe dragon
#

a whole 13 times in the entire year

#

I basically listened to it once a month and that makes it my tied most listened to song of the year

fleet wren
#

of my 5 top songs 3 is video game ost and 2 is from niche/underground vocaloid producers
it would have been a 2/3 split but one of them suddenly delisted their albums for whatever reason

devout vault
#

This kinda tracks too:

  • peak depression, need something to be slightly happy
  • starting to feel slightly better but not enough to actually do things
  • I now feel like doing things
#

(more details on "focused on gaming")

safe dragon
#

youtube still does not deem me worthy of a recap

devout vault
#

Maybe because you've got those boring EU regulations in the way?

safe dragon
fleet wren
devout vault
#

Yes

fleet wren
#

wait does it show any songs

devout vault
#

Though the titles are greyed out, not sure if that's normal

#

(I never use spotify)

safe dragon
#

it loads the playlist yeah but they're all disabled

fleet wren
#

ah yeah then it's all gone

tranquil grove
#

same, yeah

fleet wren
safe dragon
#

I once did a comparison of what percentage of 80 songs in my liked songs list on spotify were available on all the different music platforms

#

spotify ironically lost because one of em was delisted

devout vault
#

Minecraft... uh, ethoslab, need I say more?

safe dragon
#

Spotify - 79 of 80 (one of em has been deleted apparently)
Youtube Music - 80 of 80
Deezer - 70 of 80
Tidal - 65 of 80
Qobuz - 54 of 80

#

was the result

#

I find it very amusing that spotify lost despite me using my spotify liked songs for the comparison

steel kraken
#

I genuinely dont know how minecraft got on that list

#

the rest make perfect sense (though surprised tos2 was that low)

devout vault

#

One of my top games is a mobile app, so it reveals me as the casual gamer that I am

#

I too have Theo listed as one of my top channels, although I mostly have his rants on in the background

#

Iโ€™m so casual that it only lists 4 games for me

rain apex
#

this is cute but not green and therefore useless

devout vault
#

They really should've made that one color customizable

#

It's origami! Just use a different color of paper!

#

Also I'm suddenly noticing that those "pixels" for the circle have multiple colors per pixel in some spots

lyric bloom
#

I feel you can trace the progress of my depression this way

devout vault
#

Same for mine like I mentioned earlier

cinder karma
#

How do you guys get that

devout vault
#

Mine was sorta upwards not downwards though

devout vault
cinder karma
#

I dont have one

#

It's okay

safe dragon
#

me neither

cinder karma
#

I can tell you what I watched

#

A lot of stupid shit

#

Shorts of cats

#

People knitting

#

Programming lectures above my head

#

Aviation

#

Tax law

#

Apparently not on app for meeeeeee

#

Smh

#

No terminal wrapped for atra

#

No spotify

#

No YouTube

#

This is all I'm worth

safe dragon
#

you must be fluent

#

interesting that 50 hours is a top 2% learner

#

that's not a whole lot for learning a language

hardy jewel
#

does duolingo make you review stuff? I swear I spend more than 50 hours just on flashcard reviews alone within a month for japanese

safe dragon
#

kinda. In one way they make you repeat the exact same thing ad nauseum over and over at first but eventually things just disappear

#

it doesn't do spaced repetition

dusty pollen
#

I will warn you guys that not all duolingo languages are of equal quality

#

back when I tried my first language out of curiosity I was shocked at how bad it was, it turns out they allow community submitted content

safe dragon
#

I am of the stronger opinion that all of them are bad nowadays with them having removed grammar explanations and the comment sections

dusty pollen
#

my first language was just straight up wrong or weird half the time

safe dragon
#

some of them are worse than others

#

dutch was like... correct but you'd sound like a weirdo

hardy jewel
devout vault
#

Did I mishear that some of them are AI based now, too?

hardy jewel
#

I'd imagine it'd even be difficult to use as a very extra supplement if a lot of it is just weird

dusty pollen
safe dragon
#

I mean they introduced an LLM chat agent into duolingo practically the month chatgpt launched

#

so probably

#

for japanese idk why you'd ever use duolingo when bunpro exists

dusty pollen
hardy jewel
#

yeah for sure. I did spanish and japanese on there 8+ years ago just to see what was up and the few bits I recall from the japanese side make me cringe into my soul, but I didn't know any better

#

people seem to get so stuck on duolingo that they never expand beyond it - the effort they put into the app they could equally spend on a proper resource and get much further

safe dragon
#

At least duolingo teaches you the important sentences like "My grandmother stole my spoon"

hardy jewel
#

but of course the gamification makes it appealing

safe dragon
#

yeah though there's a lot gamified language learning tools

#

they're usually just not as over the top about it

lyric bloom
#

i remember using the JP duolingo and going "this isn't.. teaching me anything - it's skipping a lot of steps.."

safe dragon
#

bunpro has levels and a streak and achievements and a bunch of statistics but it's not blasting you with colorful animations and the obnoxious fuckin duolingo "correct" sound that haunts me when I sit in the train and I hear it coming from somewhere

hardy jewel
#

would sites like wanikani classify as gamified? with streaks and all that

safe dragon
#

to a degree yeah though not a lot

#

it's more gamified than like... an anki deck

#

speaking of. I have not touched japanese or any reviews in months

devout vault
safe dragon
#

I think I inherited my current spoons from my grandma actually

devout vault
#

I heard about a language learning game that came up with their own typing method somehow? So that you could do it quickly in a faster paced game

hardy jewel
#

I use marumori over bunpro & wanikani these days for japanese and I feel like it's the only thing that's kept me doing my reviews

#

If I had stuck with the others I'd have burnt out a very long time ago

safe dragon
#

I switched to sentence mining quite a while ago

hardy jewel
#

I'd imagine at your level crumb that you'd be pretty okay with consuming native content to keep up with things?

devout vault
#

I am interested in learning another language, but I would definitely need something game based

safe dragon
devout vault
#

Not simply gamified, but like an actual game that's fun to play

cinder karma
#

I really need to do more chinese

#

Like

#

Amazing how much i had to guess

devout vault
#

(The one I saw with the custom typing was more "actual game" than simply gamified)

safe dragon
dusty pollen
lyric bloom
#

the only reason I could even use itis that I have taken some high school japanese. c.c

marble jewel
#

Duolingo infamously laid off a chunk of their staff to replace them with AI specifically

devout vault
#

I used rosetta stone for a while in high school. <flashbacks to it refusing to recognize my pronunciation of sandwich>

hardy jewel
safe dragon
#

yeah you're ahead

cinder karma
#

Ooh, you're getting a degree in japanese?

#

Look, I actually took three semesters of French

hardy jewel
#

I've heavily neglected reading and listening so those are considerably more behind which is why I consider myself to be only intermediate

cinder karma
#

Aaaaaaand I lived in Switzerland

#

I have no excuse

safe dragon
#

I finished n3 though

marble jewel
hardy jewel
#

but I'm only doing the advanced units and the ones where they make you consume a huge amount of native content and write assignments on

dusty pollen
marble jewel
#

The company I work for has the same policy

#

My team was cut in half this year, with the expectation that we could still do all the same amount of work thanks to ChatGPT

safe dragon
#

spoiler: nope

#

the company I work for has actually doubled in employee count within the last 2 years I think

hardy jewel
#

so unbelievably shitty

safe dragon
#

it's laughable when they say they need more content and that manually doing it doesn't scale when very small teams have been outdoing them by an order of magnitude

#

duolingo doesn't care about giving you a lot of material

#

they'll give you 5 new words and then make you repeat them a billion times

#

and half of their input methods basically solve themselves even if you forgot what the word meant

#

hell one of them is about constructing a sentence in your native language with all the words already given to you

#

duolingo is very intentional in wanting you not to actually learn the language, they want you to keep showing up

marble jewel
#

Sounds like it's built on the same principles as social media. Optimized to trick your brain into releasing dopamine without a definitive end. So basically, doomscrolling.

safe dragon
#

essentially

#

you don't become the largest language learning platform by being the best way to learn a language

#

you become the largest by being the most accessible and engaging platform

cinder karma

I don't know Chinese

It's pretty good tbh

I wonder

#

How much time i spent this year

#

Listening to the kpop demon hunters soundtrack

safe dragon
#

well I mean

#

the movie didn't come out till like 5 months ago

hardy jewel
#

have you tried hanzizero or pandanese before? I hear about them a lot as being similar to the good japanese resources

#

I keep telling myself that I'll pick up mandarin again but so far haven't been successful

#

so little time...

safe dragon
#

weren't you also doing Korean

hardy jewel
#

for like 6 months, yeah

#

that was a flop

safe dragon
hardy jewel
#

I have 0 actual use for korean so it's ok

cinder karma
#

The thing i like aboit trainchinese is that you have to write

safe dragon
#

tbh 6 months is longer than almost all my language learning phases

cinder karma
#

I'm actually pretty fluent spoken/listening

safe dragon
#

oh ur cheating

cinder karma
#

I'm just awful at written

hardy jewel
#

well that makes sense

safe dragon
#

I mean I should've guessed considering you were just in China I think

hardy jewel
#

writing characters is a whole other experience

safe dragon
#

reading is the only thing I can just vaguely do just from guessing from characters shared between Japanese and Chinese

#

it'd be messed up and wrong

#

but it's still the thing I'd get closest to achieving rn

cinder karma
#

Like, I survived fine in beijing

#

Although there was some guessing, and I totally did NOT know what I ordered for food sometimes lol

safe dragon

many moons ago in early uni I rushed through like 1800 kanji with the heisig method in a few weeks and then promptly forgot like 95% of em

I thought that was emoji

Also veggie in chinese

But this startup was more focused on tablets built in to the tables

You know what one of the fun parts about steam frame coming out?

Chances are, my steam point total will go over 1 million

I've got 410k right now

What's a steam point

devout vault
#

You get points for each dollar you spend on steam, and you spend it on cosmetics

hmm let me check my balance

When they introduced it they seemed to have backcalculated how much you got too

It's slightly annoying how there's never been any new steam deck keyboards though

if were being pedantic wouldn't it be 100 512MiB sticks?

devout vault
hushed raven
#

Thats what I was thinking, the data is already being collected

devout vault
#

And also I don't think I was imagining having never turned it off - I saw a bunch of people on discord with long time accounts that say they never turned it off

devout vault
#

One of the reddit moderators on the discord seems to be working overtime to defend how discord handled the checkpoint and setting stuff

#

I saw a bunch of stuff of them saying if the setting is disabled they don't get the data, but not always:

#

(Also I tried poking around in the browser version with the console, but that made firefox struggle to even breath)

uncut seal
#

hmmmm I wonder why they'd tell people that they can't see the engagement bait feature if they don't allow data collection...

devout vault
#

I'm not upset (overstatement) about it being inaccessible with the setting.

I'm upset (again, overstatement) that there's a 95% chance they have that data anyways (at least since I'm in the land of FREEDOM of getting exploited), but changing the setting can't make it available

#

"but calculating it would cost money"
...I literally pay for nitro, and not the cheapest tier

hushed raven
#

you could request your data and manually make it

#

good luck parsing the likely 10gb of data you get though

devout vault
#

But I need the fancy graphics

This is slightly concerning (if it's true)

hushed raven
#

better get writing JS or OpenGL in that case XD

devout vault

(Also I got the snail on that account)

#

I think it's funny how this moderator keeps saying they don't have access to the data if the setting is off

hushed raven
#

wait where my border gone, how dare they remove it

devout vault
#

Like uh... do you really think they implemented a lock on using said data at all without the personalized ads setting?

#

I've also heard the data is super off, though

I don't really enjoy these year end review stuff it tells me I don't touch grass

I love going back to a project I last touched a month or two ago, where I had stopped half way through and it doesn't even compile yet, and the commit message is basically just "probably is only half working at the moment, if it even compiles"

crystal wren
#

And then it turns out it works perfectly.

devout vault
#

Well

#

Except it doesn't compile

#

Like I had changed an interface but not the implementations

#

And I can't recall why I was making those changes

crystal wren
#

If it were me... I just got distracted by a shiny thing.

devout vault
#

I think I had meant to continue the next day but never did

#

Because the commit message also says "more stuff I never committed from weeks ago"

#

And it certainly doesn't help that it seems like two things were in progress at once

#

Both things were related to make the same thing work how I wanted it seems, but still

hushed raven
#

thats almost every project I have, after a while theres zero chance of continuing bc I forget to document and comment my code as I'm writing it

I'm so glad I updated. (/s) (The October 2025 part basically says copilot + stability/security fixes)

cinder karma
#

Why helix over neovim

safe dragon
#

cause I don't have to spend time configuring it

#

I think the breaking point was when the plugin people null-ls which was used regularly for a bunch of LSP functionality got archived and people had to figure out what to switch to

#

what I'd need a handful of plugins for in neovim is just already there

cinder karma
#

I really need to update my name here

#

Being a tax bill is getting boring

safe dragon

understandable

cinder karma

Honnรชtement

safe dragon
#

also it wasn't my reasoning at the time but now that I've gotten used to it I do think helix's way of the movements/editing is actually nicer once you're used to it

devout vault
safe dragon
#

barring the one exception that annoys me which is that neovim surround queries understand "tags" as something text object so you are able to "delete everything in between these html tags". Helix has no such matcher

i no longer have one, but I was going to self-host a cloud

mine is mostly just file storage and a media server with jellyfin

though I run most of my stuff on digital ocean vm's because I dont like getting reddit hug of death

I do want to set up a NAS when I hvae a spare thousand and a half thoug

everything I host is only available on my local network or via wireguard

if I were to host something publicly available I'd probably get a vps

there's castlevania on there too tho...

I think there's maybe even a single thing on there that isn't animation

maybe

hushed raven

If it isn't a docuseries about penguins then it doesn't need to be in there XD

uh I checked, nope it's all animation

not a single real person to be found in my media library

Absolutely penguins documentation

I watched a bit of prehistoric earth on the plane

Also a bit of thr live action how to train your dragon

hushed raven

There's a life action httyd? That's quite cool

fleet wren

literally every animated movies nowadays can't rest for 5 years without getting a live action adaptation

moana is getting one! it "only" came out 10 years ago!

#

frozen has been spared one but idk how long that lasts

#

dang I should get around to watching the sequel some day

cinder karma
#

I hope kpop demon hunters does not get one

safe dragon
#

my little niece already has elsa/anna shoes

hushed raven
#

Frozen has had loads of live action adaptations, technically not movies but live shows which I say count

safe dragon
#

it's kind of interesting how seemingly nothing has managed to really replaced frozen since its release

#

little girls now still are just obsessed with frozen

#

12 years later

hushed raven
#

Frozen was phenomenal in that regard

safe dragon
#

Moana has mostly just been a nice addition but it pales in comparison

#

and nothing Disney has done in recent years seems to achieve really any notable interest

#

encanto was the last one I think that anyone has really cared about

fleet wren
#

it took them 10 years to make a sequel but zootopia is getting there

safe dragon
#

oh yeah I saw ads for that at the metro station

#

though we call it zootropolis 2

fleet wren
#

currently no 1 biggest opening for any animated movie ever

safe dragon
#

oh?

#

is it good

fleet wren
#

seems to be

safe dragon
#

my immediate assumption with Disney sequels is that it'll be bad

#

that's been the case since the VCR era

safe dragon
fleet wren
#

they stopped doing lower quality direct to dvd sequels some time ago

#

well except for moana 2 which was a cancelled tv series frankensteined into a theatrical movie (it is noticeably worse than the 1st one)

safe dragon
#

my niece is too young for this stuff so my exposure from that side rn is more like... Bluey, Muppet Babies

otherwise every sequel so far is at worst not as groundbreaking as the original

Google AI Overview seems to think "code comment directives goland" is french and is spouting something that I don't understand XD

to be fair, 3 out of those 4 words are french

so given goland is a proper noun you did in fact make a french query SDVdemetriums

good to know XD I only knew of comment and directives as having a french origin but I thought french didn't have a "v" I'm not too sure why for some weird reason, I know for a fact it does XD

did abba teach us nothing about french SDVpufferpensive

in hindsight that was a very abstract comment

But thatโ€™s powrshell, so wouldnโ€™t it not build on not-windows?

crystal wren

Oh, no, Powershell's also on Linux.

And installed by default on the Ubuntu runners on GitHub.

devout vault

Huh

hushed raven

powershell is also available on macOS too, the cross platform powershell was forked from Microsofts Powershell that did only run on windows

there's something cursed about powershell on anything except windows

powershell should exclusively be used in a very ugly blue terminal window

Discord has been fucking up by serving the wrong image recently

hushed raven
#

Oh Discord, never change, please do change your app is terrible

supple ether
#

Did you hear about how they're going to "fix" the memory leaks by just making discord restart itself if it's using more than 4gb

hushed raven
#

what...

cinder karma
#

That does fix the leak yes

hushed raven
#

that's easily the worst idea they could have just make it 32 bit at that point, bring back support for old systems

supple ether
#

Well. It's electron, so their ability to do that is controlled entirely by their platform

#

I'll never understand why electron caught on, it's so terrible

hushed raven
#

probably because it's easy, cross platform and uses web dev stuff which is quite a bit easier to write

supple ether
#

Html and css are wonderful to work with, but the tradeoff is having to write your actual code in fucking Javascript, and having to run it on a separate standalone whole-ass web browser

hushed raven
#

It may be a bad time to mention I was making an electron program XD I have switched now to Wails thanks to Pillow letting me know about it

supple ether
#

There's other options for xplat gui. Qt and gtk have been around for years, and now we also have things like avalonia and slint

supple ether
hushed raven
#

It uses HTML CSS and JS like standard, but it also uses Go (and can compile down to a single executable which is just ideal for my purposes)

crystal wren
#

Is it really much better than Electron? Looks like it still uses an entire Webkit renderer?

supple ether
#

It uses the os-provided one, it sounds like

hushed raven
#

it seems to use a lot less system resources so far

supple ether
#

Like what tauri does

crystal wren
#

Okay, that's a good step up!

supple ether
#

It's still a browser, which I'm not huge on, but at least having it be a shared system resource should prune much of the bloat

hushed raven
#

I'd never heard of tarui, it does seem quite similar, main difference being Go swapped with Rust

crystal wren
#

I'm honestly still just a fan of GTK/Qt...

#

Avalonia is nice for the comfort of C#, though.

supple ether
#

Yeah

crystal wren
#

Nothing stopping you using either of those two with C#, though.

supple ether
#

I just wish styling xaml wasn't so awful

hushed raven
#

I struggled so much with the axaml, it was not a fun time

crystal wren
#

Qt with its designer is lovely.

supple ether
#

It seems like the ideal solution is instead of using an entire browser, separate out the rendering engine and provide direct c apis for manipulating the document so you can use it with things other than js.

Maybe it's too tightly coupled though

supple ether
crystal wren
#

Ooh, it's hardware rendered like Avalonia...

hushed raven

also node too, bit of an eclectic mix of language support

chromium is an open source browser engine that Google Chrome (and basically every browser nowadays that isn't Firefox) uses under the hood

is the discord crashing when a notification daemon isn't available a wayland thing or just a linux thing? I can't remember but it may also be an electron thing

(actually add Safari to that list too. but no one likes developing for safari either)

hushed raven
#

I think I would rather internet explorer than safari ngl, mostly because I don't have to buy a $500+ device and probably a subscription thats also somewhere above $20+ a month

red crest
#

do you mean Internet explorer or do you mean edge

rain apex
#

Netscape

hushed raven
#

I mean internet explorer, the browser that takes around 4 business days to load a page XD

safe dragon
#

would internet explorer even still launch on a modern computer

red crest
#

i would much rather develop for safari than Internet explorer

#

I don't think ie has support past Windows 10 ltsc edition so it's doubtful

safe dragon
#

me too

hushed raven
#

I think it would given backwards compat MS has going on

safe dragon
#

ie11 is missing like 80% of all css features I use and is even far behind on the javascript side

hushed raven
#

to be fair I didn't say it would work well

safe dragon
#

I fear the day someone tries to run my work web application on an apple device cause I cannot even test if it works in safari

#

thankfully I don't think there are any apple devices that are even allowed on our work network so they can't get to the site anyway

hushed raven
#

I'm dreading this mod manager I'm making not working on macOS, I really hope it does I don't want to debug something though github actions

thin estuary
#

What tech stack is it using?

hushed raven
#

What? macOS, the mod manager, or safari?

thin estuary
#

The mod manager

hushed raven
#

Wails, like electron but not using electron, its typical web dev files but with Go

#

end user experience is the same as electron but with less resource usage

safe dragon
#

like tauri

#

the booming category of "electron but not electron"

#

why can't dev use clean, nice C++ with Qt...

rain apex
#

Cus cmake suxx

safe dragon
#

I don't think you want the average web dev to have to know how to write C++

rain apex
#

Cross compilation is pretty succ tbh

#

What we actually need to do is delete win32

safe dragon
#

I should try Qt at some point probably

#

I mean I don't make desktop apps very often

hushed raven
#

I did think of doing it with C++ but crosscompat was a massive limiting factor with it

I mean, the way things are going, one might just wait for windows to end itself

thin estuary
#

Tbh as a sometimes-macOS-user, Iโ€™d much prefer a native, SwiftUI-based mod manager

#

I guess SwiftUI itself doesnโ€™t matter; it could be AppKit, donโ€™t care

#

Just native-looking, without faking it

safe dragon
#

I'd go for the much more time efficient approach of "macos not supported"

thin estuary
#

Fair

devout vault
safe dragon
#

I've never struggle with that difference thankfully

#

I honestly very rarely use margin though

#

mostly cause in the places where it doesn't matter my brain just goes with padding

#

and a lot of the scenarios where one would use margins I instead have like gap: or something cause of a grid or flexbox

hushed raven
#

I fear you'd have a heart attack if you saw the code behind this, it is like 3 different styles clashing together in an unholy mess

safe dragon
#

that's what I'm used to it's ok

#

I'm used to css written by C# devs who don't even know what a flexbox

devout vault
#

Clearly the answer is to write your own XML loader and CSS like for a MonoGame library, like I did for one game project

#

because who cares about native feel for most apps (itโ€™s me, I care)

crystal wren
#

Or for maximum cursedness, specifically a QSS-like?

devout vault
#

Is QSS the Qt one? I havenโ€™t seen it

safe dragon
#

qascading style sheets

devout vault
#

Quivering Style Sheets (CSS but thereโ€™s a new screen-shake property that you can apply to each element)

safe dragon
#

technically that's already perfectly possible in css

cinder karma
#

Smh

hushed raven
#

screen shake is too advanced for me, I only just learned drop down menus can be done with just HTML and CSS without JS

safe dragon
#

shoutout to the popover api

#

been the biggest improvement to web dev in ages

cinder karma
#

Smh then you're me trying to do a pop-up in bash

hushed raven
#

Thank you for popover knowledge, that solves an issue I have yet to get to XD

crystal wren
#

I will call that the Yorkshire API.

cinder karma
#

Dh! What js British food like

crystal wren
#

Honestly, the majority of it's... well, peasant food. Or at least heavily derived from peasant food.

#

Which is to say as filling as possible, as nutritious where possible for as cheaply as possible.

hushed raven
#

and the rest is probably curry

crystal wren
#

Peasant food and madras, yes.

safe dragon
#

it's just so nice to be able to do dropdowns and dialog boxes without having to do some janky setup like before where you have some "dialog/dropdown spawner" at the root of the html that you then try to spawn your dialogs/dropdowns through that

#

thank you popover

crystal wren
#

I'm going to take note of this popover thing, though...

hushed raven
#

I just used .menu:hover .dropdown and so far it works great

devout vault
#

I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve seen the popover API

safe dragon
#

I'm using a date picker component that uses the traditional style with an absolute positioned picker shown at the bottom of the relative input parent.
Then ran into the classic issue where if the parent element that datepicker was wasn't large enough for the picker it'd get cut off by the bounds of the parent

#

so I wrote my own wrapper for the picker with the popver api

#

been nice

#

also the nicety that the popover api comes with the ability to close them by tapping outside or pressing escape

#

and a js event you can subscribe to for when the popover closes/opens

#

it's just ๐Ÿ‘Œ

devout vault
#

Wow, web dev changes a lot once again

safe dragon
#

this one had been a very long time coming

devout vault
#

Itโ€™s a shame Iโ€™ll only ever bother with pre-CSS3 looking websites

#

I still havenโ€™t learned flexbox and such

#

Why do that when I can just pretend I centered the dub correctly the old way

safe dragon
#

I use both flex and grid very often

crystal wren
safe dragon
#

I've heard they recently finally decided on a name for the whole masonry layout thing (now called grid-lanes) so that only took like 10 years

hushed raven
#

I dont think ive ever used grid, a lot of the stuff I make tends to be asymetric which grid doesnt work with as well as flex

crystal wren
#

Browing through this repo reveals to me that I do not like modern web designs. SDVkrobusgiggle

devout vault
safe dragon
#

to be fair, that's design. Using post CSS3 features just makes things easier to do. They will still look the same as if it's a website from 2008 if you just use it that way

hushed raven
safe dragon
#

also same

crystal wren
#

Honestly, Casey and Aquo's are both really nice examples of what I like.

safe dragon
#

I mean I build web based software ultimately really. It shouldn't be super fancy it needs to be practical and fast for someone to be using for hours every single day

#

if I had a personal website it'd be pretty simple

hushed raven
#

I'm also quite put off by animations on web pages, unless it's showcasing something or a video, animations are not needed

safe dragon
#

I had an animation on a sidebar opening/closing in a work application but it felt... off so I just removed it

crystal wren
#

I... don't know if I've seen new, actually?

sorry ur not hired. The crosshairs on your websites aren't perfectly aligned

crystal wren
hushed raven
#

What?

safe dragon
#

I'm not surprised honestly

hushed raven
#

the whole point is to showcase what you can do without tutorials

crystal wren
#

I shouldn't be surprised, but it really shocked me.

hushed raven
#

thats baffling

safe dragon
#

especially in the indian dev circles they seem to have a whole pipeline of tutorials to prep a portfolio

#

much like tutorials on how to get a good looking github profile activity wise

crystal wren
#

Oh geez, memories of the random PRs story from that one academy/university whatever...

devout vault
safe dragon
#

oh yeah a tutorial on how to open PRs an they used a real open source project for the example

#

that one is wild

#

they've been dealing with those PRs for years

crystal wren
#

I kinda feel bad for the people doing them, because they're being told to do this, not knowing how bad it's making them look.

safe dragon
#

my github activity profile is a clear case of "oh this person does advent of code"

#

nothing all year

pliant snow
#

I sit here eagerly awaiting

hushed raven
devout vault
#

Also itโ€™s not super accurate when I donโ€™t commit for like a week and then commit the entire weeks worth of changes all at once

#

Which isnโ€™t uncommon for personal projects of mine (mainly my mods)

pliant snow
#

git commit -m "whatever"

safe dragon

git commit -m "Added some features"

Now I'm in the mood to work on the website doc generation, but I owe @ivory shadow some Minecraft code crimes...

#

My tabs are getting out of hand again. It's deceptive because I have the windows split across several desktops now

#

A home page that will surely have something on it eventually this time

heavy daggerBOT
devout vault
#

Jokes on you I already started

#

"fighting docker" = "pressing the run button and remembering what port it ran on", apparently

#

(The alternative content pack format will need to be removed, since that's gonna be removed.)

#

(And of course that index on the left is vastly incomplete, since I had a long way to go with the docs)

#

I do want to add a little bit more graphically, but unsure what yet

#

Maybe a less repetitive background

#

And a small pixel cat walking around the top and/or hanging from the side as you scroll

#

I kinda want the stars for the background to twinkle, but I don't want it to be distracting, so I'll need to test it

#

A couple doc page examples (haven't done autogeneration yet, this was back when I was handwriting them.)

Also need syntax highlighting, and probably something better than a bullet list with sub bullets for a lot of things

#

I still like the idea of a more compact content pack format since I find json is cumbersome to use, but what I did is janky.

#

...I should move to the channel where on topic stuff is allowed ๐Ÿ˜›
