There’s no way it would win a race, but I have to say, I have the latest Prius Prime and it’s actually pretty damn fast, especially for a Prius. They really shook off the underpowered rep with this latest batch.

No, that’s just not true, I moved from ml to world because I made one fucking comment about Russia being a right-wing authoritarian country and some asshole followed me to every thread calling me a capitalist pig, even on shit like dog photos and memes. There’s no getting Lemmy to critical mass while ml is the flagship.

Edit: Yes, I know I could’ve also made a new account on ml to shake them off, but at that point it became a question about the ethics of indirectly supporting the people there.

Who the fuck’s rectum is open 2.5 inches at rest??

Ladybird I follow since it’s an entirely new browser engine and can help restore a little democracy to the web, but why Floorp? I’m looking through its website and it seems to be a more customizable Firefox, which is nice, but doesn’t seem particularly revolutionary (and forks of Chromium/Firefox are kinda a dime a dozen).

Bedroom’s missing a toilet

I jumped in to the Win11 beta and really liked it, they finally got most of the control panel into the new settings architecture and I never once had to dig deep into things to adjust something small, a lot of stuff that took finagling just worked.

And now I fucking hate it. The release version is jammed so full of bullshit features and useless AI junk that it is an active hindrance to whatever I’m trying to do. And more and more stupid fucking bugs bubble up in to the desktop and never get addressed, all while I get pop up after pop up urging me to try some bullshit new feature.

I already had one foot into Linux with my desktop but kept this because it was a Surface and nice at some point, but my next buy has to be a Linux 2-in-1, I can’t deal with Microsoft’s horseshit any longer.

I do want to emphasize that for the moments that it was unadulterated by rent-seeking, the new Win11 actually was kinda great.

Really, Matt? Nothing else, like how you went scorched-earth on WPEngine and caught a lot of people in the crossfire and destroyed a lot of goodwill in the process? Nothing comes to mind?

Notice he is still Prince Andrew, which is just about the only title that most people know him by.

The only thing that’s not obvious to me is that ??= doesn’t seem to invoke new Singleton() if it’s already defined, essentially short-circuiting. Otherwise I would have to look up the semantics of it if I were worried about that constructor having side effects or doing something heavy.

So let me buy a goddamn phone that I can install what I want in it. Again, I do not give a shit about any phone manufacturers that want to make a walled garden out of their Android installations. I agree, it’s perfect for the grandmas of the world. But Google is forcibly doing this to every goddamn phone, phone manufacturer, and Android enthusiast.

The only silver lining is that whenever Google decides that unregulated social media services like Lemmy are not family-safe I won’t have to listen to your malicious horseshit.

That’s twice that you’ve missed the point that everyone else is saying. Read it again:

without me nor the developer having to kiss the ring of Google or by extension the regulators (EU with Chat Control) that they are beholden to

Google is irreversibly designating themselves the sole arbiter of what apps can be freely installed in the formerly-open Android ecosystem. It’s the same as if they just one day decided that Chromium-based browsers would require sites have a signature from Google and Google alone. I honestly don’t give a shit if they did it just on Pixel devices, but they’re doing it to the phones of ALL manufacturers by looping it into Play services.

I just don’t understand: why the fuck are you so pussy-whipped by Google that you’re stanning their blatant power grabs?

Bruh, you’re trying to sanewash this of all things? Right now I can go to any third-party app store and click install on an app without me nor the developer having to kiss the ring of Google or by extension the regulators (EU with Chat Control) that they are beholden to.

After this I’ll have to fucking install Google’s SDK on my computer, manually download application files, and deploy them to my device over USB with CLI commands. I will never ever ever be able to get friends and family access to third-party applications after this change.

And fuck, man, there’s not even a guarantee this solution will last, either. Google promised they would allow on-device sideloading back when they started adding deeper and deeper settings restrictions on enabling sideloaded app support, their word means fuck-all and you know that.

Yeah, them being pissed at Russia and then backing the Middle Eastern equivalent of Russia is some serious cognitive dissonance shit

Gotta get those 100-year-olds fucking

I’m still half convinced I took something 10 or 12 years ago and all this is just a bad hallucination I’m having in a hospital somewhere.

You and me both, brother. God I wish.

Please assume the party escort submission position

Not only that but *broad gestures at society and the state of the world post-Internet*

have to make sure of is that the deployment environment has node and the angular CLI installed

I have spent so many fucking hours trying to coordinate the correct Node version to a given OS version, fucked around with all sorts of Node management tools, ran into so many glibc compat problems, and regularly found myself blowing away the packages cache before Yarn fixed their shit and even then there’s still a serious problem a few times a year.

No. Fuck no, you can pry Docker out of my cold dead hands, I’m not wasting literal man-weeks of time every year on that shit again.

(Sorry, that was an aggressive response and none of it was actually aimed at you, I just fucking hate managing Node.js manually at scale.)

God gave us two nostrils for a reason.

Wtf does your ethernet cord have a tumor?
