i switched my bookmarks site from espial (unmaintained project) to linkding, and while i’ll miss espial’s simplicity, i do appreciate linkding’s power and the provided API.

at first i got auth working with my SSO (authelia) and was happy, but i want my public bookmarks available without login… and i couldn’t configure my proxy to make that work, because of issues with sub paths, which sucks. so i switched to linkding’s built-in auth. inconvenient, but worth it to share my bookmarks.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org sooo pretty! sucks about the dead end tho

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s an interesting premise in that article:

The fun has been sucked out of the process of creation because nothing I make organically can compete with what AI already produces—or soon will.

This is like saying it’s pointless to make music yourself because some professional player/audio engineer does a better job. Really, there’s always someone or something that’s better than you at a particular job.

If we focus too much on “competition”, then yes, you can just stop doing anything. I don’t know how common this mindset is, especially among artists or creative people. 🤔 I would have assumed that many writers, for example, simply enjoy the process of writing. Am I being too naive once more? 🤣

grafana is awesome when it does the thing i want it to do. otherwise it sucks

Farrrk me Google search is and these days. Will they please “fuck off” with this Gemini AI garbage at the top that takes forever and is distracting as shit™ 💩 Fark me 🤦‍♂️ #Google #Search #Sucks #AI #Gemini

And on a similar note, cross-post from Mastodon:

What I love about HTML and HTTP is that it can degrade rather gracefully on old browsers.

My website isn’t spectacular but I don’t think it looks horrible, either. And it’s still usable just fine all the way down to WfW 3.11:

• Some blog post in various browsers
  
• Git repo viewer (stagit)
  
• Older photos of WfW 3.11
  

It’s not perfect, but it’s usable. And that makes me happy. Almost 30 years of compatibilty.

The biggest sacrifice is probably that I don’t enforce TLS and that HTTP 1.0 has no Host: header, so no vhosts (or rather, everything must come from the default vhost). (Yes, some old browsers send Host:, even though they predate HTTP 1.1. Netscape does, but not IBM WebExplorer, for example.)

(On the other hand, it might completely suck on modern mobile devices. Dunno, I barely use those. 🤪)

Too late to fix your typo kind of feeling … suck. 😒

@prologic@twtxt.net Maybe they are for you, dunno? 😅 Caffeine makes me stay at the same level of tiredness/exhaustion – except I’m hyped and can’t sleep. 🥴 Sucks, tbh. 😂

@thecanine@twtxt.net for what is worth, I don’t think @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org intention was to insinuate your website sucked (though it may well do, but again, not his intent, I am sure). I see it more like a technical jest, and a good one at it. It was fun! Isn’t that the intent of April Fools’, after all?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I do agree “the rules of the web”, are far too loose - at least the syntax ones. I do think backwards compatibility is necessary.

As for my website, it might be visually very similar, to how it looked since its creation, many years ago, but it is frequently improved. Features that originally used JavaScript, changed to HTML and CSS components, code simplified, optimised to withstand browser updates and new screen resolutions,… Even a good chunk of the errors on your list, were already addressed and I plan to address the rest soon.

Just find it a bit depressing, that my attempt to bring back some of the old Internet spirit, by making a hidden easteregg page page for this years April 1st, was met with people complaining about April fools day jokes and you insinuating my website sucks.

oof that sucks man. does it make sense to have a separate testutils package to import from?

HeliBoard might be the first one of these fully open source Android keyboards, that doesn’t suck, idk, I’m still in the process of testing it, but I already like it a lot more than any of the ones I used before it.

Setting it up was somewhat clunky, but once you set it all up and dile in the settings, the keyboard itself, feels really great to use.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m speculating, but if I had to guess I’d say it’s probably asking for your user password in order to access some user keyring (or whatever your OS uses to manage user secret credentials) used to safely store your passkeys related data in order to do its passkeys /ME doing air quotes Magic™ … you could try with a different password manager to avoid said scenario.

Also, passkeys UX sucks.

Just threw this RSS feed into Newsboat. The titles suck, but I hope the content makes up for it. :-)

fair lol! i should give the web app a try, i don’t think i’ll get much use out of it from my phone anyway because i suck at typing on a phone but i might as well log in!

Fuck me OpenAI sucks ass. ChatGPT has to be the most stupidest fucking thing ever invented. It is so bad it’s not even funny.

You really cannot beat UNIX, no really. Everything else ever invented sucks in comparison 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Damn! I’ve been there, and it sucks when it comes to that. and I may be hallucinating but I believe there was some dll file I had to download and put somewhere in blender’s folder and that got it to work back then. Also, what’s the latest version of #blender you could run?

all of the software sucks, but i have a solution! we’ll write even more software! get more people involved, make it the Ideal Career, then we can write AL̵L̴ O̵F TH̨E ̧C̀ODE̷S. mountains of shitty garbage that kind-of does the thing. software will still suck, but T͜HE̕N oh then we can write compilers that let us run the old shitty code inside of our mountain of new shitty code. now all of the code is in a giant pile and we’re using it to control space ships that definitely never crash. the more code the better! we can represent NaN easily in undefined systems! developers aren’t particularly bright, so the language is simple and easy for them to understand. we know this, that’s why it was made this way. the͡ moun͢tain ͠m̵us͜t ͠nȩver̢ ̴wa̡ve̴r̵. the more code the better. so instead of writing the code manually we c̴ómpilę t͞or̸t̕u͜red so̷u͜ls ͏i͞n͞to͝ ͟nice ͢b̀l̷oxe̡ls ̸of͠ ̸t̶an̡g͜l̀ed ͞n̢eu͏ra̡l͠ ̕ne̢t͏w͟orkś.̸ w̨e d͠on’t́ know how i̵t ̷w͟ork̡s, ̴but ̷t̴he model̢ ̶is̛ 5̛0GiB ́s̶o ͟i͞t s͞e͘rve͟s ̴tḩe̛ purpośe.

similar to data packets in NDN, each message has multiple names. a true name, which is an encoded cryptographic hash of the file itself. we call this kind of information self-certifying. given a true name, you can find a file and verify its integrity. additionally, agents can associate a self-certifying name with a pet name or subjective label of their choosing and share it with their friends/peers. zoko’s triangle can suck it. gemini://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/wiki/cryptogen–specification/

“Fu*** IRC maaan, all the cool kids are on Discord! IRC sucks”

LOL, Now substitute IRC and Discord with Gopher/Gemini and Web.
I hope you get the joke 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com power outages happen here almost every single time strong storms pass by, I know the feeling mate. It truly sucks.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t think it’s your code. As you said in one of your commit comments, the internet is a hostile place! That’s partly why I reacted the way I did: all things considered it’s usually better to react quickly and clean up the mess later, then it is to wait and risk further damage. Anyway it sucks @xuu@txt.sour.is got caught up in it. Hopefully it’s all good now.

@bender@twtxt.net YES! They’ll be sucking on a 1000GB Lollipop per request! 😂 I bet their VPS providers will be happy! VERY happy!

@bender@twtxt.net Actually the video is a reaction to: HTMX Sucks that is originally an essay by Carson Gross (the creator) in the “The worse-is-better design philosophy” and what not style. So No, it isn’t … or at least not in the sense one would get from such a title. 😄

@prologic@twtxt.net Watched that one the other day after seeing that much chatter about #HTMX on the feed. And now I’m watching HTMX Sucks - Youtube by the same person (or should I say people?) 😂

I’m this close to making an Android app for managing a shopping list.

I just accidentally deleted the wrong list in the app that I’m currently using, and now there’s no way to get it back. Recreating it is a major pain, because typing on a phone sucks ass. Fuck.

Maybe I should just go back to using pen and paper …

it was pouring with heavy winds when i woke up so i waited a bit for it to calm down before heading out. it was great until the rain stopped and the humidity came in which coincided with the ascent. overall it was a good session. beth’s handheld water sucks.

Streaming services can suck. Wanted to watch the classic Elf movie for a fun movie night, but somehow we were getting the message “This movie is not available in your region.”. Turns out we were looking for the wrong title.

kind of sucked. should have waited another day and gave my body an actual rest because my legs were tired as fuck. did the park-to-park route which was cool. the second park was cool because it had a lot of walkways and a neat tower thing so did a bit of tourist mode there. the last leg of the run was brutal and just did not have the motivation.

So.. Of y’all that had covid. Did you have at the end a night where for no reason your brain amped up to 11 and can’t sleep at all? It happened to me last night and my FIL the night before.

I went to bed at 8 and woke up full on anxiety attack at 12 and could not calm my head until around 7 am. Today has sucked a lot.

Oh okay, so Youtube is cracking down on “Ad Blockers”.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, it’s true. Thing is, Linux as a desktop operating system sucked in 1996 yet I adopted it then anyway because I wanted nothing to do with MS anymore 😆 I know it’s not for everyone but I’m pretty tolerant of a less-than-stellar experience if it means I can be free of big-company garbage.

I haven’t tried a Linux-based smartphone OS in a long time so I don’t have any idea how bad/good it might be. I figure when I finally break down and get a new phone I’ll experiment on my current phone.

In setting up my own company and it’s internal tools and services and supporting infrastructure, the ony thing I haven’t figured out how to solve “really well” is Email, Calendar and Contacts 😢 All the options that exist “suck”. They suck either in terms of “operational complexity and overheads” or “a poor user experience”.

Is there a Youtube frontend that doesn’t suck? Requirements:

• Disable all comments.

WTF are you talking about? The only thing well-documented about “the blockchain” is that it sucks and its primary use case is creating Ponzi schemes.

Yes, but no. This didn’t happen before, it will drive me nuts. That search sucks, by the way. I know, I am being gentle. 😂

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Dependendies suck 😆

Too many moving parts 🤦‍♂️

I did a take home software engineering test for a company recently, unfortunately I was really sick (have finally recovered) at the time 😢 I was also at the same time interviewing for an SRE position (as well as Software Engineering).

Got the results of my take-home today and whilst there was some good feedback, man the criticisms of my work were harsh. I’m strictly not allowed to share the work I did for this take-home test, and I really can only agree with the “no unit tests” piece of the feedback, I could have done better there, but I was time pressured, sick and ran out of steam. I was using a lot of libraires to do the work so in the end found it difficult to actually think about a proper set of “Unit Tests”. I did write one (in shell) but I guess it wasn’t seen?

The other points were on my report and future work. Not detailed enough I guess? Hmmm 🤔

Am I really this bad? Does my code suck? 🤔 Have I completely lost touch with software engineering? 🤦‍♂️

This is like my 5rh day at it. I suck at words and spelling. So this is good practice.

the future sucks and i want a different one #novoAtlantis shit loads to do still, but we do have a domain for the project! https://atlantis.luxe/

Signal Status

Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible.

One thing I’d like to have one day (and it would be nice if it were integrated into twtxt.net and other pods with a familiar and pleasant user experience on Desktop, Web and Mobile) is an e2e encrypted messaging that is self-hosted and federated that doesn’t suck operationally (so many complicated solutions that exist that are hard to setup even for a Senior DevOps/SRE)
