  • It’s the worst program in all of the Office Suite.

    I digress. The worst office suite program is Publisher.

    I have never ever user it for anything, but for some fucking reason any company PC has it as a default program for .pub files, and that means that everyone that creates a new key pair and opens the pub file to copy it the gets lost and need special instructions to close that fucking thing and to open the file with notepad or something.

    Fuck that program for choosing pub as their extension.





  • Oh, but I will. For it to be a fork of enby, it’s fucking amazing how bad the androidTV app is in comparison. The media player has improved,but its still way slower then using an external one,which is weird. It also freezes for a solid 5 seconds minimum every time I swap subtitles (while the vlc external player does it on the fly), and it makes me change subtitles every single time I load a chapter. Envy’s player lets the user set a preferred subtitle language and it makes an effort to preselect one. Not only that,but you can seal that on a series basis and you can select the subtitle before starting the video on the user interface.

    It has improved since I last tried it and at least it doesn’t die while transcoding or whatever, but the difference in performance of the android app/web version to the androifTV app is crazy. It would be better to adapt the android/web version of the app the manage a TV input than make the androidTV app actually useable…

    Besides that its amazing :)

    I rescind most of what I said because I just checked that the android app has TV casting (it didnt last time I checked) and the android app does have the preselecting and the player is waaaay smoother. Its comical that casting is a better user experience then using the native app but whatever.





  • Have you considered the pay is lower because the benefits are higher? In the UK they have universal healthcare which means that part of your salary which used to go to healthcare is now not needed.

    Bro I’m not even from the UK I’m from Spain where wages are lower in technical fields and all your “benefits” are the bare minimum any job offers. You then need to offer stuff like remote work, flexible pay, flexible hours, restaurant ticket and more for me to consider a lower wage.

    I’m on a technical field and 30k€ would be the bare minimum I would ask for a job after having like 2 years of experience.

    Not even trying to negotiate from 30k means they are asking lower than 25k and that’s laughable low for a tech job.

    And I’m in Spain, one of the cheapest European countries regarding tech work pay.

    Besides other refutations, I’m going to refute the fact that blockchain requires those three points.

    Block chain is a shared incremental ledger in it’s essence. Since its inception banking systems have adopted it to have shared ledgers between them to manage transactions between them in a secure way, without fear that the ledger has been tampered by some bad actor of the other bank, since the history of transactions is shared in a way that can’t be tampered without alerting both parties.

    So yeah, that. Banks adopted it pretty quickly to be used in transactions. The way you describe immutability is incorrect, you can mutate the current state into the next one, you just can’t mutate past transactions. This example is very much not public, just shared between two private individuals, so not public either. I guess you can call it decentralised too.

    You keep calling it “the block chain”, when blockchain is just a name for a technology, a chain of blocks of information condensed incrementally in the next block, that’s it. You are thinking too hard about it.

    Edit:

    Funnily enough, each one of these elements does have use by itself! For example, distributed databases have been around for decades, and are the basis for much of the tech you use today

    Decentralised != distributed, a biiig !=. Decentralised implies that there’s no main/master node coordinating operations, there’s no main authority. whereas in distributed systems, the ones you mentioned anyway, there’s always a main node coordinating what worker nodes do, worker nodes act on what the main node, there’s a very clear authority role.


  • Are people seriously this fucking entitled that they can’t let someone use their bin so they don’t need to carry a bag…?

    The irony of this comment is amazing lmao. You are the entitled one for thinking that you can use other peoples’ trash bins to throw away poop. Even

    The hell happened with community spirit and being neighborly?

    The hell happened with your community spirit and being neighborly? Throwing poop in others’ trash cans is asshole behavior. Have some community spirit and avoid doing that to be a good neighbor.


  • I have atopical dermatitis so besides the good old showering and applying shampoo twice, once to get the hair clean and the second time to keep the product there while I clean the rest of my body, I use some speficic products concerning the affliction.

    For the shower, I use a highly moisturizing gel from the local store combined with one that’s supposed to be special for the skin that costs 20 times as much, and Blue Cap as a shampoo recommended by my hairdresser to help with dry scalp.

    I usually shave in the shower with hot water so I don’t really need any aftershave cream but I have one for when I dry shave.

    Besides that, I have some local moisturizing cream to be used occasionally when the skin dries too much, and the occasional cortisone paste for eyelids and specific body parts that like to specially dry and have bad reactions.

    When I feel specially oily (which is almost never because yay atopical dermatitis) I tend to buy some natural exfoliant shower gels and then apply moisturizing cream afterward to “replace” bad body oil with good cream oil I guess xD.
