App developers cannot be wrong: X Window System, Xbox, Xcode, macOS X, Xerox, Xfinity, xfce, x86, xz, excel. We must use ‘X’ in the product name. More ‘Xes’ is better. How about measuring the size of the company by the number of ‘Xes’? Triple X tech firm Tesla… 😛
If you need a virtual monitor for your Quest under Linux, you can use Immersed https://immersed.com/. It is not FOSS but has a free as beer option. It’s just a regular app on the Oculus app store, no need to switch to developer mode, no need to install Side Quest, no need to bu…
Did you see the famous writer’s meltdown about Twitter? I think it would be funny if Elon Musk buys Microsoft and renames Windows to XWindow. The nice thing is he doesn’t need to rename Xbox.
I remember how I started playing Minecraft about 10 years ago. I died a couple of times from zombies; I decided to switch to Peaceful mode. I learned how to make glass and built a house out of it. After this, I made a small swimming pool. And I went to sleep and dreamed about wal…
I would probably be happy to delegate the performance review to the AI. I really do not like writing my self-review and providing feedback about my manager. And now we need to do this stupid R&D tax thingy.
I need to check at some point at Damn Small Linux https://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
For my game, I need some distribution with bash, vim, emacs, and g++. G++ is the tough part; it’s quite big.
man console_codes I do not need the internet either. Wut, wut?
I put the Internet upside down, chasing console codes and ESC sequences. And they are in the man page. LOL
BTW, I figured out the collision issue. The Poseable Mesh Component does not have collisions anymore. It has all flags and settings but they do nothing. They have an explanation for that, but I did not get it. I think it is just bad programming. Anyways, the Skeletal Mesh Compone…
The snap version of Slack does not work with my setup, something is broken with the studio’s 2FA. I need to make the RPM version of Slack work. Here are the steps, so next time when I need to update Slack, I can find it here.
Download the RPM from the Slack website. Currently, i…
I realized I don’t have some certain basic cables, for example just vanilla USB-A to USB-A. All different Zoo of cables, lightning to USB-A, USB-C to USB-A, some exotic ones like USB-C female to USB-A, some ancient ones Mini-USB to USB-A, some old ones Micro-USB to USB-A. I put …
BTW, it is ☔ again.
TIL; I never noticed before that processes in Linux are 1-based. Wow! Actually, there is a process with a 0 PID but it is not listed, and init and kthreadd are children of that 0 PID process.
After last year’s LastPass incident and spending a week changing 400 passwords, I switched to Keepass. At least if something happened, the blame would only be on me.
I am going to get back to more active Twitch streaming. I feel like I forgot how to talk, and streaming will help me maintain that skill. 🙂
Hey, I have a very important question to address: does bunny hopping work in Minecraft?
Can someone invent candies that taste like candies, smell like candies, feel like candies, and also heal tooth cavities, keep you in shape, and maintain a moderate level of insulin?
I now understand the motivation to found OpenAI. Having open technology in the wild creates the status quo and ensures mutual safety, kind of like how multiple countries having nuclear bombs prevents the beginning of World War III. I do not understand, though, why Elon Musk did n…
Go Zuck!
Quest > Vision Pro
The main selling point of the currency is that it is a limited resource, like gold. Then Bitcoin came, and my initial analysis was: yes, it can be a substitute for gold, it can be a new currency. Mining Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies becomes exponentially harder as the amount …
On my Bluetooth headphones, when I am trying to lower the volume and it comes close to 3%; it beeps really loudly in my ears. What was the thinking process of the designer of this feature?
A lot of people are leaving from paycheck to paycheck, and I don’t know what to do about it. Look, I have a can with candies on my desk; it is still almost full. And it has been on my table for about 2 months. And I love sweet stuff. Honestly, I wish I would be more impulsive; I …
If you’re feeling smart today, don’t write smart code because tomorrow you will need to understand it to maintain.
We need Without Music to add sounds to SORA creations now.
TIL; DELL company is named after the founder of the company, Michael Dell.
There are 3600 J in 1 Wh. Why? Why not just use Joules? The metric system is nice and simple, but we manage to overcomplicate it. Joules are fine; I cannot see the reason for Watt hours.
