Amazon blocked my account while trying to purchase a gift card and are now demanding proof of ownership of the gift card they just refused to sell to me???

I’m literally scared of disassembling stuff over like plastic clips while people just feel ok with ramming stuff in like that wha

you can unsubscribe from “recommendations” separately tbf (or decline subscription in the firsr place)

telegram has an “advantage” of not having e2e encryption by default, which makes stuff like sync much easier as chats are fully stored on the server (encrypted with your user password).

and if you enable encryption (aka start a secret chat), the chat will only exist on the device you started it on and stop getting synced

it’s as easy to get into as lemmy/masto/fedi

if you’re an audiophile you can get flacs and stuff (but tbh I’d rather store my music in opus, flac just seems like a waste of space)

idk my a52s’s underscreen sensor is pretty reliable.
it never failed on me, except when i was holding my finger in the wrong place (like only half of the finger on the sensor etc, and even then it allows for a surprising amount of leeway (like i was able to unlock it with 60% of my finger being off-sensor a couple of times), sometimes just requiring your to hold a finger for a bit longer)

tbh i think “master” terminology is only bad if paired with “slave”. the word itself kinda just lost it’s original meaning
but I don’t really care about git’s change. im only using master out of habit

Copilot Chat

well I’m using lower-ish-level stuff like wgpu a lot, so there’s a lot of repeated code in my codebase with only small variations, but I can’t really encapsulate it into anything since all of my pipelines are completely different and have different requirements (it’s basically already as encapsulated as it gets without limiting freedom)

don’t get the negativity towards copilot in other comments.
it’s a really smart autocomplete, and this is exactly what i wanted for the past 5 years.
(yeah it’s not going to replace programmers or whatever people’s exaggerated opinions of it are)

wanna quickly create a wgpu bind group?
let texture_bind_group = <tab> <tab> and it’s smart enough to understand the context and pull in texture and texture sampler that are already defined as local variables.

too lazy to type this obvious thing in?
(like of course the next opcode islet op = self.fetch();) just press tab and move on with your life.

wanna quickly refactor something?
select, ask CP Chat to “replace all if statements with match”, check if it’s correct and click confirm (it will even show git-style diffs, so it’s hard for something unexpected to slip in)

it’s not perfect, and it’s suggestions do not match your intention like 50% of the time but when they do match or your intention is REALLY obvious (like you already wrote a clear and concise variable name and need to complete the value), you’re a single keypress away from completing those 2 lines of code

It’s not a total deal breaker but it’s definitely very useful. (especially for me, because of my very short attention span. unless i can quickly complete a thing I’m currently working on in less than a minute i will forget about the next 10 things I was thinking of doing)

also i don’t believe the price is justified, but it’s free for students so of course I’m gonna use it.

(you just need to verify your student email and upload a photo of your student id on education.github.com, and you get a free gh copilot subscription, gh pro account, priority support and promos on loads of services like heroku etc while you’re a student)

"render trans chunks after entities/sel box etc "

nah

there’s a mod piracy subreddit on reddit, you should probably check it out

would’ve made more sense if it was rust

(or is the copy intential here?)

my isp doesn’t assign me an ipv4 and i have a dynamic ipv6 prefix, I’m hosting stuff over ipv6 just fine with dynamic prefix (i even have a ipv4 proxy set up, but it doesn’t see much use), just need to update it like every week in dns records (automatically of course)

yah i forgor about that
but technically you can, but with a self signed certificate only (ehich are less secure; or by asking people to set up the dns manually)
with self signed certs you don’t lose encryption, but the client won’t be able to make sure that it’s connecting to your server specifically

old laptop in you closet is free forever

just don’t use one?
host shit on bare ips

except Ukrainian for some reason. I’ve had a lot of issues with english, polish and russian content, but Cloudstream3 with cloudstreak-extensions-uk never ever stopped working and has all of the content i care for, with high quality dubs from either the source or local tv channels (both sound as good as the og English va)
