Hi, I'm Danko, 35, from Riga, šŸ‡±šŸ‡» #Latvia

Mostly #webdev, mostly #TypeScript, sometimes #Rust. Curly braces, semicolons, tabs. #Linux noob since 2005.

Cishet white dude, atheist, left-ish. ADHD + MDD.

I like loud electronic music, twin-stick shooters and cats.

The avatar is me rudely pointing at the viewer (since 2006). The header image is the This Is Fine dog saying "Sorry, something went wrong."

If I should've boosted your picture that I liked, it's quite likely that you should've put alt text on it.

@krahabors @artursk @theRealBooo_kat man ar m79 visa pieredze ir es trÄ«s reizes (ar dažu gadu starpÄ«bu) viņiem zvanÄ«ju uzzināt, vai viņiem tieŔām xyz ir uz vietas, un visas trÄ«s reizes man pat neatbildēja 🤔

Bet draugs saka ka viņam arÄ« viss patÄ«k šŸ™ƒ

Es gan visu kam man rÅ«p garantija sÅ«tu dateks.lv jau 15+ gadus un ne reizi nebija problēmu. Pārējais ja vajag ātri, vai nu 220.lv ir "izņemiet rÄ«t", vai nu jā, droŔāk uzreiz aliexpress pa tieÅ”o no ražotāja. Amazon gan sÅ«du čupa, neviens kas var atļauties tÅ«r nepārdot, nepārdod.

This is literally the clueless annoying coworker finishing your every sentence as you try to explain a complex issue to someone.

I trained my adhd brain my whole life to not. fucking. do. that.

Now it's a feature.

Highlight of today's conversation with AT&T

Me: "we currently have an internet service with you, but I'm calling about a different service."

Them: "ok, do you have it with you now?"

Me: "have what?"

Them: "the internet service."

Me: "I have the account number yes."

Them: "No, not the account number, the internet."

Me: "Do I have the internet with me now?"

Them: "yes."

Me: "I don't understand."

Them, frustrated: "Can you physically touch the internet right now?"

Me: "What?"

Vibe versioning

Does the major version number (4.x vs 5.x) mean anything?

No. The major version number is incremented when the number after the dot starts looking "too big." There is literally no other reason.

I've lately had #Steam crash in a rather spectacular way sometimes (and just now it happened twice).

Spectacular as in it starts showing random windows, sometimes error popups, sometimes settings dialogs, sometimes shit I didn't even know existed.

I really wonder how the hell that even happens. Like, which part of the UI code allows whatever is doing this to open a random window. Are they all in an array? Is it a CEF thing that is handled in C++ that somehow gets corrupted? Wtaf is even happening there.

Anyone see a bug report about this?

Upd: found one

"May I have your name?" the faerie said.

"William," she said with a smile.

"Ah ah!" The faerie gave a wicked laugh. "I have your name! Now no-one will call you by it!"

"Thank you," she said.

"To win it back, you must- what?"

"I will find me a new one," she said, "one that suits me better."

now that we have all collectively seen and acknowledged palantir fuel the efforts of the fascist US regime,

can we also collectively get rid of people who think even criticizing palantir is worthy of exclusion?

(yes, i'm looking at you, guy who was proud to shake dtolnay's hand and told us all about it. you're a part of the problem! you know who you are)

Thanks to the Fediverse, I will never forget that sharks are older than the north star (which is to say the brightest star that makes up Polaris), and horseshoe crabs are not crabs and are older than horseshoes, horses, and crabs. And sharks.

@Rasp i'm collecting scenarios where i actually needed cpu to go brr and so far there's two loud.computer/@virtulis/114696

Did you try 1.6 yet? Is it actually more better?

often frowned uponvirtulis@loud.computer
2025-06-17

Another (second ever) scenario is RimWorld pathfinding etc. Presumably same reason, it's probably switching between CPU heavy and something else, so CPU never spins fully up.

Haven't tried 1.6 yet, hopefully that's much better.
