Some more thoughts for you: since 19xx workers are productive to the scale of 10x (feel free to downplay it to whatever factor over 3x as this is the minimal amount, everyone agrees on except of those that harvest the difference) against those times. But we are still working 8/8/8. Who takes the difference? Of 10x (or 3x)?

False Equivalence, Red Herring, Chronological Snobbery, Fallacy of Relative Deprivation, Contextomy.

So, by this logic, a homeless person with a used iPhone is better off than Louis XIV (who literally owned all of France) just because the king couldnt play Candy Crush?

This statement confuses global technological progress across centuries with an individuals actual financial security, social power, and quality of life within their own modern society.

I simply just cant understand why would someone repeat such a statement (and I have seen it everywhere).

I fail to see your logic, are you claiming everything American is bad and should be replaced?

As I really dont see it this way, I am using HN but on the other side I will never use Facebook.

And if there would be such an abusive site as Facebook in EU, I wouldnt use it either.

This is literally money grab from their presidency in EU, on the expense of all EU citizens.

> But then again if the EU was working for the good of EU citizens, we'd know it by now.

And we do, we have GDPR.

golang.

(to replies, yes, i understand that macos keyboard shortcuts might objectively be better, but if you are using multiple computers and macos is the only one of OSs, those shortcuts become pain in the neck)

After 2 years of usage, I still have issues with basic actions like copy paste.

edit: omg, writing this post, i checked if there is some way to use linux shortcuts and there is (Kanesh/KMonad or Karabiner-Elements). Maybe my suffering will finally stop.

/*

The AppSupport Bluetooth Bridge shares the phone’s Bluetooth controller between Sailfish OS and AppSupport. It acts as a router, so each Bluetooth device can be handled by either Sailfish OS or AppSupport without handing the whole controller over.

For most devices this is controlled through pairing. BLE devices are more complicated, and that is one of the areas where broader testing will be useful.

For now, you should reboot after installing. The Bluetooth settings page now has an extra option to route incoming pairing requests to AppSupport. Devices found during scanning also have a long-press context menu option to pair them with AppSupport. You can see devices paired with AppSupport on the same page, and you should also unpair them from there when needed. Turning Bluetooth on and off in Sailfish also turns it on and off in AppSupport. You should not try to turn it on or off from Android apps.

Android apps that are designed to pair with devices internally should be able to do so.

If you have previously handed Bluetooth completely over to AppSupport as described elsewhere on the forum, revert those changes first. Otherwise things are likely to break."

I hope it helps.

Was using Sailfish OS on Sonys phone but drove me nuts for two reasons:

- had to reverse banking up to kick out the checks each time when new version came out and I became quite proficient at it (decompiled into git and each new version over it, then git diff, and fix the checks, committed the changes)

- worse part was that there was no bluetooth to android bridge and local bus company required it for contactless paying

There was nothing I missed from the phone, even reversing banking app was not really an issue, but bluetooth was just needed.

I defected to GrapheneOS after two years, now I am moving back, I hope for good. The fixed the bluetooth while for hardware I dont care.

I have solved the banking app issues by changing the bank and getting cheap old pixel just for banking app. It doesnt even have SIM, only wifi and used Automatize to turn on airplane mode on lock screen and turning it off for unlock.

I dont care about NFC payment or any other android junk, for photos I have EOS and phone just doesnt cut it, while camera is good enough for taking shots at everyday things like shopping list.

I really hope I wont need to see android ever again.

It is called "not wanting to work in a company that is insulting me with measures like metrics, spying on screens, squeezing every drop of sweat and exploiting its workers for already huge profit.

My last job change was exactly due to company acquisition by USA company that started to exploit everything work related, removing wfh, ruining life-job ballance,... And who leaves first? Those who can.

So you are not really measuring developer productivity but helping company get rid of most productive people, while all others stay.

Using linux for actual work on my workstation.

Then I see that I can self host it. This is interesting novelty.

But there were so many bad apples in CAD area, that I will stick with FreeCAD and after 20 years, if this will evolve and prove it is just not another scam, happily give it a try.

All my love <3 <3 <3 to organizers, thank you for continuing the IOCCC context, please never go away again!

Meanwhile some things just dont let me sleep... it was more fun while decompiling games and trying to understand a logic in good ol' times...

(function() { let itbe = 99999; let rawSave = localStorage.getItem('gacha'); let decoded = atob(rawSave); let saveData = JSON.parse(decoded); saveData.clubs = itbe; saveData.spades = itbe; saveData.hearts = itbe; saveData.diamonds = itbe; let reEncoded = btoa(JSON.stringify(saveData)); localStorage.setItem('gacha', reEncoded); location.reload(); })();

Opened everything possible, I still have 3 locks to open, battle at 2001 (level 6), the attacker movement is just too fast to be able to react.

Would be probably doable by keyboard but with mouse I just closed the browser tab as with 3 more locks to go, it just doesnt make any sense to even try.
