  • Do you like (AI) clocks?

    Jump

  • Is it just me or the clocks frequently break or change appearance without the page being refreshed?

    Edit: nevermind, I skipped past the sentence explaining that every minute, the site prompts LLMs for a new solution. This is hilariously sad how LLMs aren't able to be consistent from one prompt to another.

  • People with 8BitDo Ultimate 1/2 Controllers, how is the ergonomics?

    Jump

  • Oh, then I have barely scratched the surface of what is capable with them.

  • People with 8BitDo Ultimate 1/2 Controllers, how is the ergonomics?

    Jump

  • I upgraded from my aging DS4 to an Ultimate 2C, and it was night and day. The buttons are sharp (some on the DS4 started to become sticky) and the hall-effect sticks are incredible: I felt that my inputs were much more precise out of the box, and in Steam you can reduce (and even eliminate) dead zones.

    I would only upgrade to a Steam Controller for the trackpads, but I don't think I play enough games that would benefit from them to justify the purchase (maybe if I played more third-person platformers/shooters like Lara Croft and Uncharted)

    Edit: forgot to mention the additional buttons. I don't use them on the 2C because of their awkward placement, whereas Valve placed them next to the grips on both the Steam Deck and Controller. I find the latter placement much easier and natural, it was quite useful when I played Half-Life 2 and Portal 2.

  • Mullvad DNS / DoT/DoH on Pi-Hole

    Jump

  • I don't think Pi-Hole can query DoT and DoH resolvers directly. People usually set up unbound or AdGuard's dnsproxy, configure it to forward queries to the DoT/DoH resolver and set it as Pi-Hole's upstream resolver.

  • Readdeck vs Wallabag?

    Jump

  • I have no experience with Wallabag, but I have been pretty happy with Readeck. Skimming through Wallabag's documentation, I would say they are pretty similar, while both have unique features. For example, Wallabag has annotations (you can only highlight in Readeck), and Android and iOS apps; whereas Readeck can export collections to eBooks, has RSS feeds for pretty much anything (all articles, unread, archives, collections, etc.) and its browser extension allows to only save part of a page (by selecting it first) and to directly send the page content to your instance (which is useful when saving paywalled content)

  • Internal domain and reverse proxy

    Jump

  • Who cares about time complexity

    Jump

  • Oh right, my Java is a bit rusty. But if it was Javascript, that would have been a problem.

  • Who cares about time complexity

    Jump

  • Depending on the language, you may be mutating the input value, which isn't great.

  • on 3 billion devices

    Jump

  • It was true until Minecraft 1.17, now it requires at least Java 17

  • ai dev vs chad dev

    Jump

  • Senior dev fix: creates a new test case alongside the fix

  • [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - September 2025

    Jump

  • Currently The Outer Worlds (I know, I'm 6 years late to the party) and the odd game of Word Play.

  • Payment app without Google in Europe?

    Jump

  • I'm a Sumeria customer and they do not offer an alternative to Google Pay, in fact their cards can be used with it. You can send money to sellers and individuals (much like Wero) but I have yet to meet any seller that accepts Sumeria payments.

    “ChatGPT killed my son”: Parents’ lawsuit describes suicide notes in chat logs

  • Unbound as DNS resolver on a Linux laptop: tips/experiences?

    Jump

  • I use unbound as an upstream resolver for Pi-hole, not directly on my machines. Be aware that resolving new domains can incur some delay (about 1s), but once cached, it's pretty quick, even for additional entries on the same domain.

  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

    Jump

  • Every developer wishing to offer applications on F-Droid will have to register their identities and package names to Google for Android devices to install their apps, regardless of the distribution platform (F-Droid, Obtainium, GitHub releases, etc.)

  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

    Jump

  • From my understanding, it will only allow apps that were registered, so since ReVanced uses identical package names to the patched apps, it probably won't work unless they start using ReVanced-specific package names that are tied to their identity. But that would allow Google to block these package names (or ban ReVanced completely) if say, Spotify or YouTube complain about them.

  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

    Jump

  • Hopefully, the EU and other jurisdictions block this.

    This is very similar to the notarization process Apple introduced to comply with the EU requirement of allowing third-party stores, and yet the EU doesn't seem concerned (maybe because Apple did not allow third-party stores in the first place, will it be different for Google?)

  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

    Jump

  • I first read the original report from Android Authority thinking it would only be an additional hurdle for third-party stores and developers, but I'm now thinking that it would potentially block the use of ReVanced

  • Ok, new question, Updates!

    Jump

  • 1: I’m assuming (hoping) this wouldn’t be a full wipe and start over? It should just upgrade right?

    Yes, you can upgrade in-place. If I recall correctly, you just have to change the release channel from LTS to non-LTS in the Sources app, then trigger an update (I don't quite remember how to do)

    2: Do I need to do the whole USB route, and if so is there an option to keep everything (I’m hoping, I put a LOT of work into this so far and I don’t remember if that was an option on first install).

    No, as I said above. But it's always a good idea to have backups if you ever need to wipe and re-install.

    3: I remember a few apps I installed were specific to Noble, will this break those apps?

    Hard to be 100% sure without knowing which apps and how they were installed, but most likely yes as their dependencies might no longer be available on Plucky.

    4: It seems like there should be an option to upgrade from the desktop, but I don’t have that option. If I run plasma-distro-release-notifier I should get an update notification right? In which case I can just say “hell yeah!” and it’ll do its thing?
