Where is the place nowadays? I just want to live my life without an ethnic cleansing authoritarian government disregarding my rights. Barely seems to exist nowadays.

Anything with a motor will run differently, usually safely but not always.

Motor speed is 120*frequency/poles.

For example, a 4 pole hair dryer motor will run at 60Hz, the fan will run at around 1700-1750rpm instead of 1400-1450rpm.

For fans specifically, this can be a problem because fan load (torque) increases to the third power with respect to speed. This means that changing the frequency to 60Hz for a fan designed for 50Hz will run it at a significantly higher load which can make it run at a worse point of the torque curve where it is less efficient and ultimately overheat.

Some electronics have filters based on their designed operating frequency, so signals may get distorted by switching frequencies (notch filters on sensitive signal chain things like ECGs devices) though many are designed for both nowadays.

Things like electric blankets are just resistive loads so there would be little effect, but if they have very cheap electronics it is possible that the timer functions would be analog AC coupled so the timers might run fast or slow.

This is because an air fryer is just a small convection oven with more presets.

If your toaster oven has a fan in it, it essentially is also an air fryer.

The services (cellebrite) they use to crack normal androids and iphone s would surely let them know that there was an off site backup that likely exists, given that the company doing it knows grapheneOS exists and is used by journalists and their owner’s regime is the top murder of journalists in the world

Just looked at my local 2nd hand app in Belgium. Withing 20km of me, there are 8 macbook air 13 inch from 2015 to 2017 for <=150€.

Not bad, slap MX Linux on it or something light and it would be a great programming, browsing, etc… Small laptop

The article doesn’t actually address it but it is likely because the gulf stream is breaking down.

Eh, emojis in the readme were in nearly every single readme template for years since before LLMs were available. I use them for my own projects just because the readme template I like has them and they make headers much more identifiable when referencing the readme, that is just human characteristics and also why electronics style guides (as an example) have standard symbols patterning for commonly used circuits. Our brains can instantly parse a familiar pattern as opposed to just text (net labels and block components opposed to shaped symbols in the example).

As a bonus for Brave, you can maybe be part of affiliate link scamming networks, their own personal ad spying network instead of google, Microsoft, or apple. You can even have built-in crypto-bro gambling!

Not only that, but all of the drawbacks of chromium!

Also the ad revenue that they make off you can go to funding conservative mass-surveillance candidates and lobbying against same-sex marriage.

The thing that really kills me with actual budget instead of firefly philosophy differences is that a “budget per month” app needs to have some flexibility with dates and categorization which I don’t find in actual budget. At the very least, setting a different “beginning of the month”.

I get paid on the 27th-30th of the month, that is my budget for the following month but according to actual budget, that is my budget for the month of money I have already spent. Likewise with bills, I transfer money to an account where all the bills automatically come out of after I get my paycheck, but those are bills coming out of the budget for the following month.

You can’t budget with money you don’t have yet… Especially for people with variable salaries (Belgium pays money for the days you bike to work, getting expenses paid back, etc…)

If I transfer my bills money on the 1st of the month (last possible day) and then before the 1st of the month the next month, then all metrics and budgeting for 2 months are fucked up and inaccurate with no way to fix it.

I think it is the other evidence that it is vibe coded

• Brand new account
• Dev only responds to non-technical or feel-good comments
• other commenters have pointed to AI teltale vibe coding syntax signs in many of the files
• Claude extra files in early commits and changing gitignores to do it.

Advertised Vibe coded projects absolutely are by default bad and here is why:

• Developers do not understand what they have built, so can’t debug it beyond “Claude, fix this”
• Vibe coded projects are easy-come, easy-go very often abandoned (73% of the vibe projects on flathub, and those are the people who thought far enough to decide putting it on flathub was worth it)
• developers can’t answer any questions on security when the app will be handling credentials, be hosted on a server, or attach to some sort of live service -> absolutely gaping security hole that you just have to cross you fingers that Claude didn’t do another “oops, you are completely right to push back,1500 common attack vectors were left open and you are now part of a CSAM botnet, do you want me to fix it?”

If someone wants to make small scripts, one-off test firmware for a home project, writing test cases, design reviews, boilerplates, etc… Are arguably good usecases.

Vibe coding an ongoing software service is almost always a hard no-go and statistically will be abandoned and unupdated, leading to even more security and usability issues.

It is good to note that sleep tracking is one of those things that is kind of a hand-wavy thing right now And it has actually shown to increase anxiety when using sleep trackers when people get less than great sleep, and can make things worse when the algorithm incorrectly estates quality (which all if those proprietary apps do instead of just tracking sleep state).

There is also the issue of comparing with eeg which the head unit that the qualified scientist is also not completely accurate, it is just the best that is readily available.

Sorry that I can’t be helpful, but I dived into it a while ago and what came out of my search was pretty much that it is not reliable and people pay way too much attention to it when they should pay attention to how they feel.

And many, if not most, of the people vibe coding projects on git repos are that stupid. People who have never coded and never used anything other than git clone. That is just a fact of many of the people who do it. They are the people who think they are tech geniuses because they once made an LED blink on arduino or made the millionth timer app.

It is just a fact of who is flooding the most slop projects. There are plenty of people who use AI in subtler or more useful ways, but that is not what is the target of anti-vibecoding rules. It is the 1000 slop projects generated bloated repositories fully in 1 day that are killing bandwidth and storage limits for everyone else.

2 plates on each side. 45*4+45lb bar (or 20x4+20kg bar for the civilized) 100kg is a nice round number lol.

Also people have no money for luxuries anymore. That is what happens when billionaire parasites suck everyone dry.

No I think that is normal, but trying to cover all edge cases and accessibility are quite common reasons for feature creep.

It is really all you need for a basic e-reader. However, I am not convinced that it will survive feature creep.

Esp32 runs out of headroom extremely quickly once audio processing (TTS) and screen annotation/highlighting are involved. Especially if they are implementing high quality partial refreshing.

I hope they can stick to the basics and make it a great, polished software experience because that is probably be the difference between failure and success of it, not featute-packing.

Google (the company) As A Service. Make new things and discard them, unsupported.

There was a rash of people shoveling kanban “first project”-ware for a year or two a while ago. Everyone and their mother made a kanban app and advertised it on reddit and Lemmy. All also abandoned within a few months and were exceedingly mediocre to begin with.

Just because you made a project, doesn’t mean you have to advertise it as a maintained app, especially if it is one of 1k of the same projects.

I think the problem partially is people thinking they have to “get a following” and get “github stars” on everything they make in order for it to be a valuable experience.

OK, but if someone is “just explaining things” falsely, that is misinformation lol.

I have looked into those and Mumble is pure voice and no video or screen sharing and specifically doesn’t want to do this for the past 5 years

Jitsi meet does not have drop-in, dropout ventrillo style channels and has Skype style calls (my info could be out of date).

IRC having those features isn’t available yet and who knows when it will happen.

So it seems to me that there was still no alternative when most people on discord were looking for a group chat/voice/video app.

Don’t get me wrong, I used vent, Mumble, xfire, etc… Back in the day. But it is disingenuous from the original commenter to say that people just traded the same features for a closed system. Fuck discord though.

Matrix is also getting there.
