Classes of course, lots of them. That inherit from other classes. It got so complex that I just gave up without implementing things that would be easy to implement. Like "Come on this thing is just sitting on top of cabinet in my home",— I said to myself: "Stop handling all the corner cases, they do not exist, no one is going to use this thing other than you!", but no… 🤣

Too much abstraction is a true plague. I made a script that shows a scrolling line of text on my monome — just some currency exchange rates, but then I started to think about how I could add more modes to it, make it interactive, use it to show graphs, or information from other sources like weather or COVID hospitalization rates, with as few requests as possible, so it would update less frequently during night time or weekends.

How was it supposed to become a Fedi celebrity? Stable diffusion could at least generate photos of cats that do not exist (and have at least eight claws on each paw), this thing is useless!
Can it at least generate fake Stallman quotes? 🤔

@enduser@berserker.town Maybe posts be these prolific posters are written by ChatGPT already. What if Fedi is just an app for interacting with ChatGPT?
I'll go check if domain names of some popular instances are even registered, maybe they've been playing us for absolute fools from the very beginning 🤯

@gordoooo_z PowerPC Macs are the best! I still have my G5 tower, it's mostly useless now — I only turn it on to update software a bit and tinker, but I still like this computer. It dual boots Void Linux and Mac OS X (in case I'm up to some old Mac games) now.
And MacMini G4 also running PowerPC port of Void hosts my Pleroma instance and some other stuff.

@xod@mas.to Ничего страшного, перенесут новые с орбиты. За Айур!

@benjaminhollon No, I got you. True, sometimes it's the only way. I think all wars happen because some bad things and people get tolerated for too long and then all hell breaks loose. I agree, some conflicts don't have peaceful resolution. Right now I'm not on my country's side because I know that giving in and appeasement will only postpone even worse outcomes.

This war is far from being just. I was against it in 2014 and I'm still against it. The civil society in Russia failed to keep the state in check and now we face the consequences of that. It's appalling that innocent Ukrainians have to share it with us.
And it's hard to tell what the future holds even after it's over, TBH it all looks pretty bleak at the moment. First COVID, now this… Tinkering with tech helps overcome the anxiety a little 😄@RL_Dane @gordoooo_z

@RL_Dane
Nah, older than that. I'm also deemed unsuitable for the army — it was popular in my time to bribe them to get this status just to feel safer. And I stayed under the radar for quite some time for the state to forget about me — no property, no bank accounts in my name.
I think I'm safe, but the war is bad as it is, the perspective is still pretty dire even if you stay alive 😩
@gordoooo_z @benjaminhollon

@gordoooo_z Mine has ATI/AMD GPU, but the issues are the same. Yes, this was the last drop for me, Apple messing with UI design was bad, but failing hardware was it. There was a brief period of me trying to use Windows (hence the Lumia), but now I'm back to using mostly FOSS stuff like I used to.
It's still a nice laptop: quad core i7, 16 gigs of RAM and a nice 1920x1200 display. Linux makes it easy to disable the dGPU and use the built-in one, it runs just fine.

@RL_Dane
Not much of a choice in Russia right now because of war. I'm afraid I have to flee the country to get that Librem 5 😅
But of course I'm too paranoid to use a Chinese phone for Russian market with OS from surveillance company like Google, I never used it with stock ROM, I waited for a week to unlock bootloader (Xiaomi thing) and installed Arrow OS without Google Play Services.
@gordoooo_z @benjaminhollon

@gordoooo_z Yeah, reballing is how these phones get fixed basically. But you never know if that fix would be permanent so most get rid of their phones after that if it happens. I'm using MacBookPro late '11 with a dead discrete GPU now, same issue. I even used this laptop for gaming when it worked and never had any issues, it worked perfectly for 5 years, then 🍏 anounced a free replacement program, but after the program ended it decided to die on me. Now I'm being wary about this😅

Very decent hardware dirt cheap! Bonus points for having community ports of SailfishOS, UT and Droidian.
It has issues though. Looks like soldering isn't good and sometimes these phones die 😩
Mine is about a year old and no hardware issues, but you can find many reports of such cases online.
Mine seldomly runs hot, I need all this computing power like… never. Maybe it'll last longer.
@gordoooo_z @benjaminhollon

@benjaminhollon
It's not some fancy flagship phone, yes an overpowered device like that is a Chinese smartphone that costs less than €300 🤯
It can use external kb/mouse like Lumia could, but not the display. It can do so wirelessly, but I don't like that. And Android is just meh.
Having normal Linux would be great, but I think only Librem 5 and Pinephone can run mainline kernel with all hardware properly supported.
@gordoooo_z @RL_Dane

@gordoooo_z
I don't know why this still didn't happen, the phone I use now looks too powerful to me, it has an eight-core CPU, the performance core being clocked at 3.0 GHz, it has 8 gigs of RAM and 256 Gb of fast UFS 3.1 storage. I have a 200 Gb SD card in it on top of that. I think it's more powerful than the laptops I use. And device like that is used for answering phone calls and some lightweight web browsing? 🤷
@benjaminhollon @RL_Dane

@gordoooo_z
I've been using my Lumia phone like that until recently. The battery got too old and the phone started to shut down randomly and as getting new one is extremely hard, I had to put the old thing in the drawer. I got it in 2015 and I thing it wasn't to bad of an age to retire this device at last.
Purism tries to do that with Linux phones, but AFAIK there are lots of issues with Librem 5.
