keep mum about energy use
Whose mum?
Sometime HSP just stopped working so now I have to do calls with my laptop built-in mic.
Also, some programs like Zoom just fail to use the right output device no matter what I choose in settings. I just have to make headphones the fallback device for anything to work.
But the most annoying thing is Linux somehow stealing the playback when my headphones are connected to multiple devices. Even when nothing plays on the computer but does play on the phone, there's no audio. I have to disable/disconnect my computer to use headphones with phone when my computer is in range.
Visit takeout.google.com and select Google Podcasts to export your Google Podcasts data in OPML format.
I wonder when that became a thing. I migrated at the beginning of the year and had to manually add all subscriptions because Google Podcasts had no way of exporting anything.
I guess someone made a GDPR complaint.
That's the case for many counties but that's only between the banks within that country because that's all that one government can require banks to implement. The EU has to do something to get things moving between counties, otherwise nobody is going to agree on anything voluntarily.
This is the crucial detail that everyone is missing.
It's the same as with the Linux kernel GitHub mirror.
Now we know how much they're making with tracking and ads per user.
I might be the minority who was affected by this but how they handled the physical goodies last year was the last straw for me. Unlike all the spammy contributions that rush to it, I didn't rush creating some pointless PRs on the first day or whatever. My last PR finished its embargo period a few days before the end of October. They even sent out a congratulations email, but when I clicked the link and went to the website there wasn't anything there. Only when I checked their discord, I saw others with the same confusion and someone semi-officially saying they might've run out. It's obvious they didn't even ever consider running out and had no system in place to handle that.
Other than that, some of the rules they introduced in recent years were also so detrimental to meaningful PRs even though they thought it'd motivate that, instead of spammy PRs. Clearly that didn't work at all and actually had the opposite effect in some cases. It was a lot easier to get spammy PRs counted than meaningful ones.
I could rant in more detail about the latter if you're interested, but I'll refrain right now.
Hacktoberfest.
I still do both (and did before), but now just don't bother with Hacktoberfest.
Nice that someone's happy about it. As a long time open source contributor and maintainer, I gave up this year because it's gone downhill.
People just nuke a local git repo and reclone if something goes wrong. There isn't even an attempt to understand anything.
Isn't that just drafts for that comment's reply?
Because I just saved a comment draft, went looking at something else and wanted to go back. The problem was that I couldn't find the right post/comment where I saved the draft.
I thought Boost saved that because going to reply to the same comment would automatically bring up the draft.
