MacOS has weirdly fast paging and shit, you don't feel the lack of RAM immediately. But in the long run it'll kill your (also soldered) SSD so that's even worse for heavy users.

I think phone apps have more to play with as well nowadays. A Galaxy A55 can have 12 gigs of RAM now. That used to be considered overkill for even flagships, let alone midrange phones, just a few years ago. Plus both operating systems will suspend apps running in the background when needed.

Also the only time I've heard "memory is cheap" used IRL was in backend development. Because it's cheap to scale up memory on your servers, but not cheap to spend a day or 2 hyperoptimizing a solution that's fast enough. Dev time is expensive.

if you make your payment processing website unusable on 3 year old mid-range Android because adding 10 MB more Javascript increases ✨Development Velocity✨, there's a special place in hell for you.

Look, I hate bloated websites too (in fact I hate most websites in general, give me a native desktop app that doesn't use Electron or Webview!), but if a 3 year old midrange Android gives you trouble loading things, maybe blame the manufacturer. I flashed a custom rom on a 2019 Oneplus 7 Pro and it's super fast now compared to the last version of the official ROM that it got. It's my secondary device. Primary is an iPhone that's 2 years old and showing any signs of slowing down.

Wake me up when there's a system out there where I don't need money to buy a home or go on vacation somewhere warm when it's -30 outside. Unfortunately I don't have a trust fund, so for now it's work rather than drinking every day and tons of extremely shallow friendships. To be clear, I'm not saying I don't have friends, I'm just saying I no longer have hundreds of people on Facebook I could just randomly message "what's up" to without it being considered weird. Now it's down to maybe 10-20 people who would help me hide a body if I called them at 3 AM.

Ah, personally I just figured I'd use wireguard. I have few enough users that a bit of setup isn't a huge issue. No way I'd want to expose it completely publicly, same with any other home servers I run.

The public availability without open ports is indeed a strength of Plex.

The one and only good thing about having less friends than in my teens is that I have more time to focus on work, which makes me money (directly proportional to how much I bill my clients). That and being able to move off Facebook because my friends are on Signal and Telegram.

Now, Zuck thinks I want fake AI friends so I could spend hours per day on Messenger again? Hell nah. I'll go grab a beer in the pub or message one of my remaining real friends. If I dedicate my life to chatbots, I'll soon have even fewer.

I watched the car headlight one. I'm pretty sure it's not your fault it took longer than specified. The kit should've started with smaller grit numbers. They had you start with 2000, I FINISHED the sanding part with 2000 before the polish when I did my own headlamps on one of my cars. Though I didn't use a kit, I went to a parts store and just picked out the products I needed.

Also if you do need to do it again and want to get a kit again, some have drill attachments, making your life significantly easier. They're not expensive either.

Anyway, nice video. Hope you'll continue to make them, though on PeerTube I don't imagine you getting rich off it. I think having fun and populating the fediverse with content are good goals all on their own.

What's missing from Jellyfin for you?

I'm going to migrate over soon personally. I canceled my plex pass instead of upgrading to lifetime a few months ago because I felt like Plex was going to go down enshittification alley soon. I haven't used Jellyfin much though, so not sure what to expect at this point. I don't have a lot of users luckily

Can those be watched somewhere? I love me some repair videos. Cars mostly but other stuff is great too.

I mean the incel name didn't come from other people, incels themselves made it up to describe themselves.

What DO you use? There's literally three usable browsers out there, one mismanages its finances, one is Apple and one is responsible for the entire web browsing experience turning to shit because they run the browser that everyone uses so they can just ignore the W3 specs and other browsers get the blame when they don't adopt Google's tracking-riddled APIs.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Are we at the end of the operating system development cycle? A browser is an operating system that abstracts away your operating system, at this point.

Anyway, there's a lot of ad tech and tracking stuff to be implemented. You'll love it, Google decided so.
