  • I'm in my mid 40's and other than the comfortable shoe thing I tick none of these boxes.

    So...yay me?

  • German public radio and television (SWR) just published a whitepaper about the fediverse: "Chancen des Fediverse für Journalismus"

    Jump

  • Perhaps that was exactly the intent, to ensure that only actual humans read the content? Germans certainly are a breed of their own, but if they (generally speaking, of course) are not ones to do something odd like that without intent.

  • Didn't know that the wordle word list included mythical legends.

  • I was actually surprised to see that it was actually in the word list.

  • Oh, oh course! Sorry, and thanks for the tip. Didn't even occur to me to consider I was spoiling the game for today.

  • All art is a deeply subjective and personal experience, both in the creation and in the viewing. Your comment speaks volumes about what this piece of artwork evokes inside you.

    For me, it evoked a pleasant chuckle. I saw a socially inept man first making a woman uncomfortable with his staring, then trying to garner similar attention in a misguided way. I didn't see anyone oppressing anyone, no burqas or toxic masculinity. Just a silly joke.

    Best Phone I've Ever Had

    Jump

  • Hell yeah.

    I am the IT guy in my family, I have a bunch of S7s for the wife and kids with eOS, and everybody is more then happy with them.

    I got a fairphone 5 a awhile ago for myself, and while it did cost €600+, I wanted the modularity and reparability, I just wanted to support that type of company and try it out. Hopefully I will have it for 10 years or so.

  • Replace One Word In A Star Trek Quote With Sausage

    Jump

  • Have you tried reversing the polarity of the main sausage array?

  • Looking for "printable" fonts?!

    Jump

  • That is a very healthy attitude to have!

  • Looking for "printable" fonts?!

    Jump

  • No idea where to find such a font. But why not just do it yourself? Find a font you like, make the 3D file, and then add the positive bars to support the loose bits manually to each character that needs it.

    I'm assuming that you don't have hundreds of such cases for your stencil, of course.

    Is there way to block using app after some amount of time?

    Jump

  • The other comment is great, as a plan B this app is what I use for automating just about anything on android.

    https://llamalab.com/automate/

    It takes a little while to get used to the block programming, but it's fun and can do lots of stuff. The free version should work fine on an alternate android-based OS, but I haven't checked myself.

    Edit: used to use. I haven't actually been on stock android for a while, and I haven't used the app in a while either.

  • Excel vs database

    Jump

  • What you use depends on your requirements. Excel can be just the right thing if it gets the job done, it has some great features, and with some outside help you can do basic versioning and whatever else you may need.

    Databases are best for when you need:

    Documented Approval processes

    Documented versioning

    Interfaces with other IT tools

    Managing LOTS of various types of data

    Metadata

    Especially the last two are where a database shines. If you have lots of different types of data/files, then there is no good way to keep them organized in a static file structure. By adding tags to them (like date created, file type, priority, status, customer, project name, etc.) you can later search and filter based on what you are looking for. Need all files related to a certain project with the status "active"? Easy, just tell the database that it should filter based on those tags and boom, done.

    SQL is a great place to start if you want to learn about programming. If you are just looking to stay organized, then programs like obsidian are awesome. You can very easily make a database out of obsidian with the free tutorials for plugins like dataview and templater.

  • I'm an electrical engineer that has become a proprietary cloud-tool admin. I occasionally use an LLM (chatGPT web) to write VBA code to do various API calls and transform excel/Jason/XML/CSV data from one format to another for various import/export tasks that would otherwise eat up my time.

    I just use the chat, and copy/paste the code.

    I spend an hour to meticulously describe the process I need the code to do, and then another hour or two testing, debugging and polishing, and get a result that would take me days to produce by myself. I then document the code (I try to use lots of sub-modules that can be reused) so that I can use the LLM less in the future.

    I don't feel great about the environment impact, which is why I try to limit the usage, and do debugging and improvements by myself. I'm also trying to push management to invest in a lean LLM that runs on the companies servers. I'm also looking into getting a better PC privately, which I could also run a local LLM on and use for work.

  • Computer Update

    Jump

  • I think this comic is more about the feeling of it. I certainly feel like my work-issued iphone gets more and more bogged-down with every major update, with less and less room for apps and media. It certainly feels like the only reason for the bloat is to goad me into buying cloud storage and/or a new model.

    And just to be clear, I'm not hating on apple. Given the predatory nature of late-stage capitalism, apple is probably the least-shitty of the IT megacorps.
