I just want to rant. Was using my iPhone X since launch and figured I should finally upgrade. Got the iPhone 15 pro when it came out. The digital island is hideous. Makes no sense, and I don’t see how those features couldn’t have been incorporated into the notch. We just lose vertical screen real estate. Feels like big brother is staring at me constantly, whereas the notch kind of faded away.

The camera bump is huge, and feels awful to touch. It also makes case designs bad as well with the raised edge. It’s very hard to find a case without the raised square borer around the camera bump. These cases leave marks in all my pants. The funniest thing to me is there are billboards that feature the raised camera of the iPhone 15. There are also posters when you walk into an Apple Store of the same. As if they think it’s beautiful. I wish I had gone with my gut and not purchased the phone.

Making me think more and more about running Graphene on a pixel. Ugh, you just can’t win with phones now a days.

I realize for better cameras, you need longer lenses, but it should be a phone first.

I think there is some info missing. You’re using SSH to access the server where you are running the docker image? Why does your server have X server installed?

I have no experience running Lemmy. It could be the Lemmy instance includes X server to run some kind of GUI? Seems strange.

I’m considering purchasing a steamdeck. I may be away from my computer when I get the steamdeck. Could there be any issues with setting up games without access to a computer with my steam account? I assume cloud saves will be available. What about setting up a game that requires rockstar launcher?

Edit: Thanks for the feedback. It looks like the answer is no, I don’t need access to a computer with my steam account.

Haha, indeed. I was giving a satirical take of how many older people feel. It’s hard to have your independence taken away from you.

I’ll have to check out this book. Just remember HTML cannot be parsed with regex

You could create a Python script to do this. There is a library called psutil that would help. Basically,

  • iterate over mounted drives and see how much each has available
  • based on these values, iterate over your backup files and separate them into chunks that will fit on each drive
  • copy chunks to respective drives

Would be a fun little project even for a beginner I think.

Good use of AI + drones. Identification and eradication of invasive species. Sounds dystopian when I type it out, especially once AI identifies humans as invasive.

Each electron app has its own Chromium runtime. With the prevalence of electron apps, the result is multiple instances of chromium running on your machine. Chromium isn’t light weight. On top of that, there is the philosophical aspect. Do we really need to be shipping an entire browser for the purpose of creating a UI? That being said I understand why so many electron apps are created. HTML/JS/CSS are powerful and easy to use (IMO) and cross platform. I just try to avoid them and use alternatives to electron.

For real. Wouldn’t even consider it

I see it as a good thing. Apple is not without faults, but anything that keeps Google from harvesting more data is a win for humanity. The Safari browser is the only thing stopping Google’s browser monopoly. Unfortunately it is forced, and 99% of Apple users probably have no clue they are holding up the last line of defense.

We need answers!

I saw something similar to this on an intel Mac running canary years back. I believe toggling GPU acceleration in the settings resolved the issue.
