12:15 <+bridge> [ddnet] Going to apple for the 5th time to get the keyboard on this macbook replaced 12:16 <+bridge> [ddnet] Engineering marvel 12:47 <+bridge> [ddnet] don't get apple products 12:48 <+bridge> [ddnet] Dont get products 12:50 <+bridge> [ddnet] I would never spend my own money on a macbook. This one was free 12:50 <+bridge> [ddnet] The only apple product I paid for was an ipad, which I'm extremely happy with. If only other manufacturers could do good tablets 12:50 <+bridge> [ddnet] damn found that gitlab supports mermaid but github still doesn't 12:50 <+bridge> [ddnet] what a shame to use github nowadays 12:50 <+bridge> [ddnet] they doesn't seem to care at all 12:51 <+bridge> [ddnet] about all the cool functionalities that can be implemented 13:29 <+bridge> [ddnet] Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 pretty good 13:29 <+bridge> [ddnet] I'm contemplating getting one on Black Friday or not. 13:31 <+bridge> [ddnet] But sounds like you are tied into Apple ecosystem. 13:33 <+bridge> [ddnet] I use an android phone 13:35 <+bridge> [ddnet] The only things I have that are apple are my laptop and tablet. Laptop was free and the tablet was literally the only good tablet on the market when I got it :P 14:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] wait 14:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] the s8 is coming soon 14:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] well now they're in competition with samsung 14:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] samsung does awesome products nowadays 14:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] Eh they are not very different to apple when it comes to business practices sadly 14:05 <+bridge> [ddnet] My flagship samsung phones die just as quick as my friend iphones. It should be unacceptable for a phone to become basically unusable in 3 years 14:06 <+bridge> [ddnet] I have a gameboy advance that works exactly as advertised 17 years after buying it. I have a thinkpad laptop that is still performing the same as when I got it 7 years ago except for the battery 14:07 <+bridge> [ddnet] They literally just dont build them like they used to ;( 14:07 <+bridge> [ddnet] sadly that's pretty much made it for 14:07 <+bridge> [ddnet] as you'll just buy the new phone, for them it's more money 14:07 <+bridge> [ddnet] Yep, they literally want it to die. Planned obsolescence is the saddest thing ever 14:07 <+bridge> [ddnet] my nexus phone still runs 14:08 <+bridge> [ddnet] well some companies doesn't do it 14:08 <+bridge> [ddnet] unfortunately, google stopped providing security updates for the drivers 14:08 <+bridge> [ddnet] I mean my Galaxy S9 also still "runs". It hangs all the time even after a complete reset it's not back to how I got it 14:08 <+bridge> [ddnet] it'd be nice if it ran an unmodified linux kernel 14:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] I'm using it as my main phone, it doesn't hang all the time 14:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] did anyone try to debian phone 14:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] forgot the name 14:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] apps have become more memory-hungry though, leading to more app kills by android 14:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] but I can't really blame that on the phone manufacturer 14:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] Mobian I think it was 14:10 <+bridge> [ddnet] I absolutely hate this. The apps are massive and they use soooo much memory. Cheap memory was a mistake 14:10 <+bridge> [ddnet] I consider getting this when it gets released: 14:10 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/surface/business/surface-laptop-studio 14:11 <+bridge> [ddnet] Nope, usually the problems with things like these, e.g. the fairphone or pinephone is that they usually just perform worse and have very meh hardware 14:11 <+bridge> [ddnet] true, but at least they're easier to maintain 14:11 <+bridge> [ddnet] The camera in my like 3 year old S9 is still better than the fairphone that came out this year 14:11 <+bridge> [ddnet] like before you just had to remove the back of your phone & the battery 14:12 <+bridge> [ddnet] anyone could change it easily 14:12 <+bridge> [ddnet] I would pay a huge premium for this 14:12 <+bridge> [ddnet] Gimme a removable battery, headphone jack and a camera that isnt 144p and I'll pay like a bucketload of money 14:12 <+bridge> [ddnet] I'll easily pay 850€ 14:12 <+bridge> [ddnet] u can make a DDPhone 14:13 <+bridge> [ddnet] fairphone's camera surely isn't 144p (I guess it was an exaggeration?) 14:13 <+bridge> [ddnet] Yep, just exaggerated 14:13 <+bridge> [ddnet] well for sure if you search for image quality you'll have to go over leaders 14:13 <+bridge> [ddnet] even now apple isn't the leader for photography anymore 14:14 <+bridge> [ddnet] Make it a long term support phone with 6 years of performance guarantee and I'll pay 1k€ 14:14 <+bridge> [ddnet] I already have to pay about that much to replace my phone every time samsung pushes an update to fuck me over 14:14 <+bridge> [ddnet] There you go, 128x112 pixels 2bit goodness 😄 14:14 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293493549758939136/910880686272028722/menu_2.jpeg 14:14 <+bridge> [ddnet] wtf lmao 14:15 <+bridge> [ddnet] Just needs a baseband module and I'm in 14:15 <+bridge> [ddnet] what's cool is that, it was not a long time ago, we went pretty far, in term of evolution 14:15 <+bridge> [ddnet] Technology got better at an exponential rate 14:15 <+bridge> [ddnet] but still companies has to keep the best 14:16 <+bridge> [ddnet] like nvidia for sure already has the next generation of graphic card after the 4000 series 14:16 <+bridge> [ddnet] they just keep that, for competition also 14:16 <+bridge> [ddnet] Let's make a clone of play store but with a catch. If your app takes up more than 200M you get whipped. If your app leaks memory you get hit with a bat 14:17 <+bridge> [ddnet] corporal punishment yay 14:17 <+bridge> [ddnet] As far as I'm aware chip development does indeed have huge lead times, like multiple years at this point. So all companies doing their own chip design are indeed holding back 14:17 <+bridge> [ddnet] check out fdroid. it has some quality apps 🙂 14:17 <+bridge> [ddnet] @heinrich5991 isn't fdroid the shitty store full of injected apks? 14:18 <+bridge> [ddnet] I don't know what "injected apks" are 14:18 <+bridge> [ddnet] infected* 14:18 <+bridge> [ddnet] fdroid is an app store for open-source android applications 14:18 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-Droid 14:18 <+bridge> [ddnet] ah no it was aptoide I think, you could install something bad on your phone 14:20 <+bridge> [ddnet] Installing apks from unknown sources can always be dangerous 14:20 <+bridge> [ddnet] fdroid isn't exactly unknown 14:20 <+bridge> [ddnet] that's why aptoide had a bad reputation 14:20 <+bridge> [ddnet] it even has a wikipedia page 14:20 <+bridge> [ddnet] but people were still using it as some apps were removed from the play store 14:22 <+bridge> [ddnet] I wasn't saying fdroid, just in general 14:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] i got an manjaro phone 14:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] (@ReiTW) 14:56 <+bridge> [ddnet] running on the old pine non pro hardware and its very meh coming from iPhone XS 14:56 <+bridge> [ddnet] i mostly rq using it before it manages to connect to the wifi 15:27 <+bridge> [ddnet] imo ddnet/zcatch should be rewritten on ddnet code base so it has a 0.6/0.7 bridge. Poor zcatch community is very divided 15:29 <+bridge> [ddnet] go ahead 15:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] yea maybe actually ill do after my ddnet-gctf is polished 15:31 <+bridge> [ddnet] can i then hand of maintainance to ddnet? \:D 15:32 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2021/11/18/german-state-planning-to-switch-25000-pcs-to-libreoffice/ 15:32 <+bridge> [ddnet] Poggers 15:32 <+bridge> [ddnet] I guess... 15:32 <+bridge> [ddnet] Poggers 15:40 <+bridge> [ddnet] Libreoffice is a little sad :/ 15:41 <+bridge> [ddnet] It always worked so badly for me 15:47 <+bridge> [ddnet] more users means more motivation for devs 15:47 <+bridge> [ddnet] but ye agree libre office is shit but then which office software isnt shit? \:D 15:48 <+bridge> [ddnet] MS Office works fairly well ngl 15:48 <+bridge> [ddnet] It is the only proprietary piece of software that I think is still leagues above their open source alternatives 15:49 <+bridge> [ddnet] And Adobe Premiere + After Effects. Open source video editing is like non-existant 15:50 <+bridge> [ddnet] Just make everyone use pandoc + latex, problem solved 15:51 <+bridge> [ddnet] pandoc can even generate word documents and powerpoint presentations directly 15:51 <+bridge> [ddnet] +1 15:51 <+bridge> [ddnet] Lol, alienating 99% of the current workforce 15:51 <+bridge> [ddnet] I made people at my job use it. They are just filling in normal text, then the server auto-translates it with panoc and latex and they get a presentation back 15:51 <+bridge> [ddnet] easier than powerpoint templates etc 15:53 <+bridge> [ddnet] Ah that's a cute idea but isn't your job a tech job, with tech people using this solution? :D 15:53 <+bridge> [ddnet] Yes, only used by C++ developers 15:57 <+bridge> [ddnet] why do c++ devs create slides? 15:57 <+bridge> [ddnet] vim \> word 15:58 <+bridge> [ddnet] heck i would even prefer notepad visual studio or emacs over word or libreoffice 15:58 <+bridge> [ddnet] Because developers also occasionally need to communicate? 😄 15:58 <+bridge> [ddnet] thats what project managers are for? 15:58 <+bridge> [ddnet] In this case it was to create presentations of root cause analyses 15:59 <+bridge> [ddnet] hm 15:59 <+bridge> [ddnet] good luck making the pm understand and explain the race condition you had in your code and how you'll prevent similar bugs in the future 😄 15:59 <+bridge> [ddnet] @deen\: so when are you presenting your solution to the german goverment? 16:00 <+bridge> [ddnet] when they invite me 16:00 <+bridge> [ddnet] stop bully pros iv seen pros that know code -,- 16:00 <+bridge> [ddnet] #deenforpresident 16:02 <+bridge> [ddnet] we use onlyoffice integrated to nextcloud at work, it's basic and works fine 16:02 <+bridge> [ddnet] Even the fact that a race condition ever needs to be explained to a pm sounds insane to me lol 16:02 <+bridge> [ddnet] thats enough for us 16:02 <+bridge> [ddnet] What is he going to do with this information? :F 16:02 <+bridge> [ddnet] nothing, that's what I meant 16:38 <+bridge> [ddnet] fix the bug 16:45 <+bridge> [ddnet] filmora with it's library is kinda insane nowadays 16:45 <+bridge> [ddnet] the only thing it misses out is vector image editing 16:46 <+bridge> [ddnet] And if you're not happy with it's after effects DaVinci Resolve 17 has one of the best color panels 16:47 <+bridge> [ddnet] And if you're not happy with it's after effects (or filmora's prizes), DaVinci Resolve 17 has one of the best color panels 16:56 <+bridge> [ddnet] contribute to it to improve it 16:56 <+bridge> [ddnet] a thing you can't do with m$$ 16:56 <+bridge> [ddnet] but blender shows its possible to be in the industry 16:57 <+bridge> [ddnet] latex best 16:57 <+bridge> [ddnet] normies can do their simple documents in markdown and render them in beautiful latex generated pdfs 16:57 <+bridge> [ddnet] with pandoc 17:01 <+bridge> [ddnet] Blender is indeed the best example of good open source software that can easily compete 17:01 <+bridge> [ddnet] Darktable is also great, if it had an ipad build I could finally get rid of lightroom 17:02 <+bridge> [ddnet] I could maybe do one myself actually 17:02 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://krita.org/en/ 17:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] Krita is for painting, not photo editing :P but it is indeed good 17:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] linux is also solid competitor to windows. I am sure azure uses linux servers \:D 17:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] honestly gimp is underrated 17:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] Not quite as good as clip studio paint imo, but it works well 17:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] cuz ppl simply dont want to learn the software 17:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] also teeworlds and ddnet are the best games peroid 17:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] its like trying vim for 1 minute and saying it sucks cuz u dont know shit to do 17:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] omg i just called ddnet a game -,- 17:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] Gimp is also inferior to photoshop imo. They really should take a page out of blenders book and move to industry standard UX 17:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] gimps ux is fine 17:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] krita is going places 17:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] Blender became much more competitive when they stopped with the weird ass control scheme no 3d modeler ever was used to 17:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] its also rly sad saying x is inferior when you don't take into account that it's made by peoples free time, will and effort, and that you don't have to pay for it, plus the 4 stallman freedoms you have 17:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] but ppl dont value that 17:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] stupid humanity 17:05 <+bridge> [ddnet] I mean, business wise it ain't profitable 17:05 <+bridge> [ddnet] I'm not allowed to say something is inferior if it's made by peoples free time? 17:05 <+bridge> [ddnet] u are 17:05 <+bridge> [ddnet] but it triggers me 17:05 <+bridge> [ddnet] xd 17:05 <+bridge> [ddnet] considering what i said 17:06 <+bridge> [ddnet] I'm sorry but I won't sit here and pretend blender 2.3 was better than maya because it's open source and it's mean to the developers 17:07 <+bridge> [ddnet] ok maybe i made my point badly, you can say its inferior or whathever, but people usually never have a positive actitude towards these programs even by the fact nobody owes them anything 17:07 <+bridge> [ddnet] i suck at writing 17:08 <+bridge> [ddnet] I see. I do appreciate the work put in and that they provide a free alternative, but it won't make me rate the software any differently 17:08 <+bridge> [ddnet] There are excellent open source programs out there right now that very easily even outclass their proprietary counterparts. e.g. OBS 17:10 <+bridge> [ddnet] time to visit r/StallmanWasRight/ and be sad 17:10 <+bridge> [ddnet] :feelsbadman: 17:13 <+bridge> [ddnet] wonder why they will remove it 17:13 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293493549758939136/910925708484829184/unknown.png 17:13 <+bridge> [ddnet] :monkalaugh: 17:15 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293493549758939136/910926080750256248/unknown.png 17:15 <+bridge> [ddnet] > Jawed Karim (Bengali: জাওয়েদ করিম; born October 28, 1979) is an American software engineer and Internet entrepreneur of Bangladeshi-German descent.
