Do you like the centralized web of today? by AusatKeyboardPremi in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

I don't know how you arrived at this based on what @[email protected] was saying.

Connection strength is a network/infrastructure problem while what was being said in the original comment is an application/usage one.

The other part of your statement can be solved using a search engine which restricts itself to just searches and not distract itself with ads and AI. But evidently such a product is hard to build in today's world.

List of obsolete occupations by AusatKeyboardPremi in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

Clicked on the link since the thumbnail showed a flowchart (I like them), and got to learn quite a bit. Sad that samurai is obsolete but glad that body snatcher and slave catcher are as well.

I got a nice chuckle out of match maker, never thought of it in this manner, and will never not think about it whenever someone says anything about matchmaking.

Also chuckle worthy, “Flowchart to determine if an occupation should be included in the list of obsolete occupations”, and the first decision box is “Is occupation obsolete?”.

I wasn’t aware you are the editor/owner of the website too. Thank you for creating it. I have added it to my reading list.

Hope it isn’t taken down soon? If so, I will archive it locally.

As for your new blog, all the best. :-)

Interesting website, even though it has stopped.

The previous post on the website was quite a precursor in hindsight.

poor jeremy by AusatKeyboardPremi in c/[email protected]

A perfect origin story of a villain.

Jeremy then goes on a crime spree, but he was caught early on because he is a snail… with a left-coiled shell. The shell prints at the crime scenes helped narrow it down to him instantly.

Perhaps they are setting this in a fantasy world where sword and sorcery exists with modern technology. :P

There is a truck a few seconds into the trailer. I guess they forgot to mask it or edit it out.

Some TODO app called Emacs? by AusatKeyboardPremi in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Vim was my primary tool of development for over a decade, and I used Obsidian for about 3 years. However, in early 2024, I tried out Emacs and never looked back.

I find it functionally equivalent to Vim albeit perceivably slower, and Org-mode (+Denote) is far superior than Markdown and Obsidian with its slew of plugins.

Migrating my 3 years worth of notes was a pain since I was using Obsidian's variant of Markdown syntax to link other notes. In the end I gave up trying to convert those notes, and used them alongside my new Org-mode notes, thanks to Denote's interoperability.

In fact, Denote's naming philosophy is so powerful yet simple that I started using it for all documents and downloads.

Apple’s design team will report to Tim Cook by AusatKeyboardPremi in c/[email protected]

Even better, they now directly report to a supply chain expert.

I hope this means well since the all encompassing "liquid glass" is a horrible design. An update for the sake of change, serving no other purpose.

Even its introduction/presentation at this year's WWDC did not mention the rationale behind why the UI design needs to change and why it needed to cover a myriad of devices with different input and output devices.

Even Apple has acknowledged it by toning down the transparency in lieu of readability, and still looks ugly.

It's your daddy's money. by AusatKeyboardPremi in c/[email protected]
Amazon engineers and marketers were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery by AusatKeyboardPremi in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

The article indicates this was for their Prime Day event.

Are people really waiting for an annual event to buy their groceries? Or are the Fresh delivery personnel reassigned to other verticals for the event's duration?

Former is shocking and borderline dystopian. Latter is just poor planning and resourcing.

Gunn elaborated […] while talking with Variety.

“I’m excited for people to get to see the essence of what we’re doing, because it really has been like this private secret that we’ve all been hoarding,” he said. “We felt really good about it, like from a moral place, even from the beginning. We all felt like we were doing something good, both in terms of quality and in terms of actually something that’s not a fascistic power fantasy.”

The background score is based on John Williams' score from 1978.

Not sure whether the piece of music is only for the poster or is part of the movie's score.

Using vintage laptops in 2024: How do you make it work? (lemmy.world)

I have an old ThinkPad T42 coming my way. I plan to use it alongside my daily driver mainly for reading, emacs, and retro gaming. I will be dual booting a lightweight flavour of Linux (TBD) and Windows 98 on it.

However, I am a bit concerned about its ability to handle today's internet, with all of its heavy websites.

I would love to hear from those of you who are still using old ThinkPads (or other vintage laptops) in 2024. How do you make it work? Do you use lightweight browsers, specific configurations, or lightweight websites to get around the limitations of older hardware?

Are there any specific tips or tricks you can share for getting the most out of an old ThinkPad on the modern web?

Looking forward to hearing about your experiences!

Suggestions for a complimentary typeface to JetBrains Mono for reading and writing documents or prose (lemmy.world)

Suggestions for a complimentary typeface to JetBrains Mono for reading and writing documents or prose

I am looking for a typeface that complements well to the one that I use to write code (JetBrains Mono). I will be using this to write documents and articles.

For further context, I am configuring Emacs' org-mode where I would be using both typefaces together. I could use JetBrains Mono for both purposes as I find it capable. But I would like to explore my options.

I have also looked at Iosevka. It offers variants for coding, reading, and writing. But I would prefer to stick with JetBrains Mono as much as I can for coding purposes.
