@VirtuaStick @ShitpostReels My xps 9520 and p1 gen 8 say you’re wrong

@ShitpostReels That weird thing where all the Apple shills haven't used a Windows laptop in 15+ years and think they're all slow, heavy, run hot, and have 2h of battery life.

@_Felipe @ForrestTheWoods It’s a chicken and egg problem though

@ForrestTheWoods You can use a mouse on tmux: set mouse on Normal people don’t use TUIs. That’s why TUIs don’t work for normal people.

Unpopular Opinion: tmux controls are absolute dog 💩 🗑️. TUI controls don’t have to be garbage. You can just make normal controls that work for normal people. And let users use a mouse cursor. It’s totally fine and good actually. vim people I swear. The worst.

@zeeg Tbh this is why I take more stock in your ai takes than most people

Why is it everyone with an absurdly futuristic AI take is someone who - as best I can tell - doesn’t work on (and often never has) real software that has real users and real requirements? More so, why do you trust them?

@mitchellh @h1th3sh I didn’t use to either - but I don’t know what changed it feels like at some point twitter/x got a lot more…. Impersonal? Disingenuous? Hostile? Can’t put my finger on it but blocking has helped a lot

@edude03 @h1th3sh I don’t block anyone except legitimate spammers

why can't ghostty team fix this feature? everytime i log in to a linux VPS it gives this issue @mitchellh

@mitchellh @h1th3sh Yall are not judicious enough with the blog button

@h1th3sh ghostty.org/docs/help/term… will give you all the information you need to educate yourself and next steps on understanding this.

@soychotic “In my basement” is taking me out 😆

Building the biggest femboy-only community in my basement. 1) You get your (sub-30”) waist measured and (sub-25) age verified 2) You get in 3) You get to know femboys you should've known years ago if this sounds like you, comment👇

@ID_AA_Carmack Caveat to my earlier statement - I guess that’s probably still how it works on android if you have Spotify not lossless. Apple basically solved this with vertical integration Apple Music plus iPhone plus AirPods don’t have this problem

When you stream Spotify to Bluetooth speakers or headphones, the audio comes over the network lossily compressed with Vorbis or AAC codecs, is then decoded on your device to 48 Khz raw samples, then the Bluetooth stack lossily re-compresses it with SBC or AAC codecs before sending it over the airwaves to the speakers. I don’t have “golden ears” to pick apart audio quality like I can with, say, missing gamma correction on texture filtering, but that still hurts my system optimization soul. It is likely over-optimization, but It would be cleaner if there were a way to send bluetooth-ready, compressed audio directly.

@ID_AA_Carmack Kind of not true anymore Apple Music with AirPods will stream the aac bitstream to the AirPods to decode. If you use Spotify lossless it’ll go lossless to SBC for everything else (SBC sucks tho) if you have fancy headphones like the HDB630 it’ll go lossless to APTX

@kazzkiq welcome to 2023

My first guitar teacher ever said "If you can't play fast clean it'll sound worse with distortion" - apparently he'd never heard of adaptive noise gate :P

The HDB 630s: - Best wireless headphones I've ever heard - Using the dongle in "HD Audio mode" does make them sound notably better - They sound like a lowish cost wired headphone (Audio Technica M30 maybe) - Not "worth" it, yet you can't get anything like it

Agentic workflows mostly bottlenecked by verification speed. They work great on frontend where you have hot reload but work terribly for PCB design for example where one feedback cycle is days to get the boards and hours to solder the parts and maybe $100s of wasted parts

@i2cjak Skill issue pd is pretty amazing except for the 😩😩 compatibility issues.

USB-PD but the PD stands for "penis dick" because this FUCKING SUCKS

@Gnorrogh @mightbeaparadox @PorchGhost_ It’s enforced here too but it turns out we don’t have cops every 2 meters so you can go quite awhile without getting caught

@edude03 @mightbeaparadox @PorchGhost_ Yeah thing is it's enforced here. If your car isnt insured you're getting billed by the state every single day it's unensured.

her insurance was invalid so shes just kind of fucked now

@SIGKITTEN Okay but I love that - you’re just scrolling TikTok and bam new build of your app opens on your phone

never thought id like clanking from my phone as much

@jasminexETH I have both. Apple needs to bring back the 16 inch intel design it’s the best of the three

I love how practical and light the 14” MacBooks are but I just can’t see myself replacing my 16” for it.

@GregorySchier Oh yeah definitely. From m1 to m2 is like twice as fast and m2 to m4 is twice as fast again. I think m4 to m5 is 60% faster IIRC.

Should I upgrade my M1 Pro MacBook Pro (32GB) to M5 Pro (64 GB)? I write Rust and Go so the CPU/RAM upgrade *should* be meaningful, but looking to hear from people who actually made the switch.

@CastAsHuman @terenzeyuen Yeah that’s wild

@CastAsHuman @terenzeyuen They have one - I got a auto rejection the other day because my app has hidden element when the app - get this - is displayed upside while the iPad is horizontal (I just removed iPad support instead)

Best App Store rejection ever. Reviewer testing on iPhone 17 Pro Max running iPadOS. What's the fix here guys?

@CalebChamberla6 @bouguereau_stan Bro said “no one wants to test your ai slop lil bro” in the nicest way possible

@bouguereau_stan Even better, you should buy the machines and start making things.

Idea - CAD that only supports operations you can perform with a tool. Want to do an extrude cut? Pick an end mill first.
