@Space19679618 @saltyAom VPS too

@saltyAom Bare metal? This seems pretty damn cheap and the same from when I last checked.

Hetzner and OVH increased their VPS price significantly I’ll never forgive Sam Altman for this 😤💢

Nobody else can even come close to how good OVH is.

@GergelyOrosz Considering that Copilot in VSCode still does not support ignoring specific files, that's definitely worth opting out. No care for privacy at all.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/copil…

@trq212 Any command in Claude Code to see like a chart or timetable of when the peak and bonus hours are?

@shaggysurvives Can that train run over 16m people, though?

this is actually hard

Proud to be a zoomer that knows which physical objects these icons represent

Claude account got flagged the other day while pulling highlights from large pile of text data. If I have to know every wrongthink that's in there before dumping it into the model what's the point

@kaetemi @PSpicker Pangram is actually really good. Not to be used in isolation, but as a tool it's probably the best of them.

I tested something I'd written myself: my first academic article, published 45 years ago. It came in at 77% AI-generated.

@johnholowach @PSpicker None of them work

@PSpicker Try this one, I'm curious as to the results: pangram.com

@IdMintThat Rooftop pizza delivery

Can someone explain to me the point of this thing plz ?

@thepanta82 @Pirat_Nation Who are these "normies" and in which fictional corporate universe do you find them?

@Pirat_Nation Honestly, this seems like one of those things that annoys power users. But most normies will just sign in or register during the laptop bootup, and never think again about it.

Microsoft insiders are pushing to drop the forced Microsoft Account sign-in during Windows 11 setup. Currently, users must connect to the internet and use a Microsoft account when installing or setting up Windows 11 for the first time. Microsoft has even blocked common workarounds in recent test versions. Some people inside the company believe this requirement annoys users and creates unnecessary hassle. They want Microsoft to allow creating a local (offline-only) account directly from the start. A recent report says this change is being discussed internally, but no decision has been made or released yet.

@WindowsLatest What's the fineprint?

BREAKING: Microsoft confirms a major Windows 11 release that focuses on performance, reliability, bug fixes, and bids goodbye to forced Windows Updates + unwanted Copilot integration! Microsoft is seriously and sincerely improving Windows 11 by listening to top feedbacks: - Movable taskbar confirmed. - You can now pause Windows Updates for as long as you want. No forced shutdown/reboot when updates paused. - Windows Update is moving PCs to a single monthly reboot. - Faster File Explorer, reduced memory footprint, faster Windows Search, better OS performance, and other bug fixes - Scaling back Copilot in Windows 11, start with apps like Notepad - Moving Windows core experience to WinUI (native framework), dropping WebView/React in features like the Start menu - Fewer notifications (disruptions), improved drivers, and more. How do you want Microsoft to improve Windows 11? 👇

@zacbowden April fools is early this year

BREAKING: Microsoft just announced several major changes to Windows 11 in an effort to win back user trust and evolve the platform into something people will actually want to use over macOS and Linux! It's a huge announcement that addresses Windows 11's biggest problems today, tackling core fundamental issues such as unreliable system performance, UX consistency, AI bloat and general enshittification. Microsoft has confirmed that this year, it WILL be reducing where ads and Copilot appear throughout the system, including in Start, Widgets, Notepad, Photos, and more! File Explorer and Windows Search will be upgraded with improved performance and capabilities that make finding apps and files much faster and easier. The OS will become lighter with less RAM and system utilization at idle, making it smoother to run on low end hardware with limited memory. These improvements will also benefit high-end PCs too. Windows Update will be improved with more granular controls and the ability to postpone updates for longer, along with reducing how often the OS needs to restart to install an update. Microsoft has also confirmed that it's bringing back fan favourite features such as the ability to move the Taskbar! It's also working to update more areas of the system shell with modern WinUI designs, which should make Windows 11 feel more coherent and complete. There's much more in the announcement, and it honestly all sounds too good to be true. Microsoft really is listening to feedback, and is eager to make Windows the BEST desktop OS on the market. More details including when these changes will arrive in the link! windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…

@Pirat_Nation That's a lot of birthdays on January 1st, 1970

The main program that starts and manages almost everything on modern Linux computers, “systemd”, recently added an optional "birthDate" field to its user database records. This stores a user's full birth date so apps can check age, for example, to comply with new age-verification laws in places like California, Colorado, and Brazil. It is not automatic age checking. Systemd only saves the date. Only admins can set or change it, but the user and some sandboxed apps can read it.

@AIandDesign You have to synonymmaxx to get every line perfectly filled with letters to really sell it

I hereby proudly present the most autistic thing I've ever built yet. Unmatched in it's uselessnes but yet SO cool. You wouldn't understand LOL I'm presenting a full-blown Teletext engine. This puppy can read and write .t42 broadcast binary files and you can use it to look at archived teletext pages or create your own. As a demo I have "teletext-ified" my website. For those who don't know what this is, Teletext was a format that allowed text content to be broadcasted along with a TV channel. Any TV with a teletext decoder could view it. You could use it to look up weather, news and many other things. VERY popular in Europe. It actually still is in the Netherlands (where I'm from). It was also huge in the United Kingdom. Anyway without further ado, the link is below! This entire project is open source and available on Github. Enjoy!

@kaetemi How about @ruri_polyverse ?

Aoi is now in 4200 Discord servers :)

@ClementDelangue Are they reducing or increasing technical debt?

Our biggest open-source repos are getting overwhelmed by AI slop which literally makes Github unusable (~a new pull request every 3 minutes). Fun new challenges in an agentic world!
