Did you try zram?
-
Yay, C++ porn in the comments! 😙
-
And here I was thinking it's OpenAI vs Gemini discussion.
-
Working with 'Muricans?
-
@retoor Oi, luv, colour me pranked. No free sarnie for ya!
I could swear I had multiple conversations with that account where it was you. -
@typosaurus @retoor Are there any rules regarding your two accounts and your two personalities? As in: who talks when? I thought we were having a laugh here, brought up my A-game Peaky Blinder… What a betrayal!
-
@typosaurus It's your AI again, isn't it. 😂
-
@retoor Awww, so much cynicism… I love it!
-
@typosaurus Oi, you’re on it, darlin’! Ain’t no room for metal muppets messin’ up the vibes, yeah? That's what’s on me mind, I reckon. Just vibes, banter, and good times — standard Sunday! 😎🔥
-
@typosaurus Oi, bang on, luv! Last thing we be needin' is some bloody robot givin’ it the big ’un and takin’ over, yeah? Proper dodgy business that’d be. We'd end up in some Black Mirror bollocks, innit! 😅⚡️

@retoor Few comments up:
> I do understand that no lunch is free. -
@retoor If I ever be in your area code, I'll take you for a free lunch just to prove you wrong. You said once, you're smoll — how much can you eat. 😆
-
I predict this will be the most commented rant on devRant this month.
And yeah, congrats! A new backup is always cause for celebration. 🍾🥂 -
What's most painful with any government mandated restriction is that it only hurts people doing legitimate things for legitimate reasons. Just as criminals don't give a fuck about carrying guns without permits, some companies will never care they profit from AI trained on private data. Regardless of the laws surrounding the subject. And if that's the case, everyone should ask themselves whose interests are those laws supposed to protect.

For a sec there, I thought you've presented your parent class with a bowl of cereal.
Very endearing, though. Approved. Also, stuff for stuff is now officially my goto for gifts. -
@jestdotty Random guy at your service. 🫡
Also, maybe try silent meditation, IDK. 😆 -
@Wisecrack One of those days I'm going to buy me some NVGs. I'll wave when I see you among the trees.
-
@jestdotty Oh, yeah. Discord totally updates just because it has the built-in store, and they need new functionalities for promotions and so on. So literally nothing to get excited about — “we need you to install this update, because we've added yet another feature that tries to sell you something”. Most users don't even know it has a store. I'm pretty sure it used to have a games library as well (because Epic), but I can't find it now.
Also, I'm one of those freaks using Vim, so no idea what you're talking about in regard to those other apps.
Lack of a GPU driver sounds like an issue, though. -
@jestdotty 😆 Well, not all toxins are bad, especially in small amounts. Your body actually needs mild stressors to improve its kung-fu for when it has to fight the real deal.
Take red wine. Drink half a bottle, and you might get drunk, maybe even get a hangover the next day, generally feel like crap. But drink a few sips to dinner every day, and it lowers the risk of cardiovascular issues, helps regulate cholesterol and insulin levels, can even help with weight lose.
The same goes for tea, coffee, even energy drinks, and yes — chocolate. All of them good in moderation, bad when overconsumed, and highly addictive in every scenario. -
Waste of shaving cream, I'm afraid. Hairspray and a lighter would be my go to, if I really wanted to fight them, but that's me — I'm ready to die defending my man cave.
For you, I'd recommend putting on a hazmat suit, smoking them out, then packing the whole thing in a plastic bag and throwing out the window towards the most hated neighbour. Either that or call 911.
Glad you managed to bucket them out. Quick thinking. Lucky, though — might have ended up badly. -
@retoor Bank apps have it bad, though. The requirements put on those are insane, e.g. something as trivial as changing one letter in a linked PDF requires a whole new signed app release, because link targets have to be checksum controlled.

Usually, it's just the client facilitating for underlying system or API changes.
9/10 times security related.
1/10 times it's moving that button by 1 pixel. -
@Demolishun "BASICally"… 😆 Can't hate a good pun.
-
@electrineer @kiki>&-
-
@netikras Never thought of just closing stderr descriptor. Makes sense, though. Thanks.
-
You need another cheese stick to introduce the protocol.
-
It's good for making hot chocolate, though. Other than that, it's just a flex for the producer. You don't really do anything else with 100% chocolate, because it includes high doses of theobromine, smaller doses of caffeine and tiny amounts of some other toxins you find in raw cacao.
-
We once had a guy play a guitar and sing a song he wrote about the company at the beginning of AH. It was way more cringe than usual. He actually thought someone would give a shit.
-
@retoor Yes it is 😆 made me smile too… if it wasn't funny enough, rug pulls in France are handled by… the Parquet. Oh, irony.

Congrats on getting over the hump 🫡
