I believe the real reason for SO's decline is the rise of Slack, Discord and especially Github Discussions. The latter two taking off in 2020. LLMs simply acted as a catalyst. Personally, when I can't find an answer from an LLM, Github is the first place I'll start looking.

I also have no desire to downplay what has been happening elsewhere. Just because I'm not talking about other these things, doesn't mean I condone them, it's simply that I am human and my attention span is finite.

Attention span is finite. You can be equally enraged by both things or might care more about one than the other. No need for whataboutery.

I'd love to see an EU federation in my lifetime. But the people wanting to instead weaken it is just another example of simple answers posed as an easy solution to a hard problem.

My hunch is that Microsoft never got a chance to get to the last stage of embrace extend and extinguish with VSCode. I wouldn't be surprised if Cursor gets acquired by Microsoft, bringing things back into the fold.

Tapping shows a popup with list of all accounts. Swiping up/down is a quick gesture for previous/next account.

What's somehow worse is the split second delay when switching to an account with Gemini. The Gemini icon renders and then pushes the content left.

Yeah, looks like my celebration was premature. The spammers must have been on a holiday break

Not aware of any, but searching through the Home Assistant forum is where I'd start

The general consensus I found during my research last year when I set up a new security system is that Aqara has slick looking devices, but everything else is subpar.

The sad truth is that it's incredibly difficult to compete with Amazon's scale. Either you get a subpar service at the same price or you pay (a lot) more for the same level of service.

OG Kindle Touch? I'm still using mine from 2011. But it's starting to show its age and I had to open it twice so far to fix the dislodged power button.

I don't think it's possible to cancel after the first month with Basic Fit. This link mentions a minimum one year contract unless you sign up for Flex (which is, of course, more expensive) www.basic-fit.com/en-nl/cancel

I guess I just feel a bit sore that I don't have a dedicated use for the any of the newer Pi hardware.

The Pi needs those a dedicated community because there are subtle differences from mainstream Linux. The biggest advantage of Pi is the interfaces it exposes but it's the high end Pi market that I personally don't see use for these days.

It's also ASML who forced the Dutch government to switch to damage control mode earlier this year after news came out that they were considering moving their HQ to another country innovationorigins.com/en/peter-wen...

Well, looks like an etcd instance running in Docker was the culprit.

It might be the ageing SD card on my Raspberry Pi where the Pi Hole is running. It's my oldest Pi with continuous operation for almost a decade now (!)

I have mostly seen 900W here though. Didn't even know you could buy 700W, seems to be the very cheap kind <€100.

We were apprehensive about owning one, but since we bought one a year ago it's become an indispensable tool in the kitchen. If you put it next to a kitchen machine, it doesn't look as ugly in comparison.

I just got some home renovation done and got a bunch of wired connections in all rooms with a central hub. Bunch of Raspberry Pis, some IoT stuff and my NAS will be connected to the new network.

I find it funny how us millennials are the only ones incapable of using our phones for these things. Older and younger generations are completely ok with using phones for everything.

So many of SaaS offerings today were handled in-house in that era. It flipped with rising salaries and as most software became a commodity: companies figured it's better to pay someone else to deal with these problems and focus on the core product.

With Neovim, I have used Copilot and Tabnine in the past and recently switched to Codeium. What I miss with all three is occasional slow response time. I would love something snappy that's powered by Ollama locally. Some upcoming projects there, but nothing as polished like Copilot.

As a heavy CLI user, I usually use the date command for this.
`date -d @1732180485`
Pretty handy with an alias.

The last week is reminiscent of the early days of Twitter. Mastodon and Threads didn't stick around for me but I hope this one does.

Unfortunately, cost of micro txns have made this difficult to realise this possibility. And no one likes ads anymore.
