You can’t interrupt Windows Update either. So, rock meets hard place?

Windows doesn’t sleep. Ever. Sleep is now just a nickname for Modern Standby, which is just running in low power mode doing a whole bunch of shit. The amount of times I come back to my laptop and it has gotten stuck at a reboot is just embarrassing. I dual-boot and have Grub, so whenever Windows tries to reboot itself it gets stuck.
People have gotten their laptops damaged because they thought they were sleeping and put them in a bag, when Windows decides to try to update itself while the fans are blocked inside the bad. Bam, heat damage.
You know what really pisses me off about YouTube’s subtitles? The fact that they censor swear words that are not censored in the audio. That is really discriminatory towards the hearing impaired. They also often get it wrong and censor normal words making to subtitles really hard to follow. I wonder if they could be sued under sone disability laws somewhere about that…

Programming@programming.dev•RoR creator sparks new “death of coding by hand” debate
2·1 month agoI’d be interested in that. I’m on a totally different tech stack so I have no RoR experience. But it seems to have influenced a lot of other frameworks

Programming@programming.dev•DigitalOcean has $3 million for DHH and nothing for CSS-Tricks - keith.is
24·2 months agoDigital Ocean grew because they targeted devs and hackers, and they introduced it into their companies. Same goes here. My personal account may not have been that big, but I also dropped DO from the list of recommend providers at work. They won’t be getting any new business from us. And when contract renewals start rolling around, projects will start moving to other providers.

25·2 months agoGoogle Maps have gotten quite a lot worse over tgr last few years. I have tried various alternatives but none function properly. Live traffic routing is a big problem for alternatives. I have tried Magic Earth and Nunav but had to revert back to Google Maps in both cases.

Gnome 2 was the default when I switched. I stay mostly because of familiarity and inertia. There has to be a really good reason to switch. Maybe soon. KDE implemented workspaces-per-screen. That could be a killer feature that would get me to switch. I loved that when I was running AwesomeWM.
