science@lemmy.world•Food Can Be Literally Addictive, New Evidence Suggests
5·3 years agoCareful there. Breatharians might like a word with you.
Anyone got any spare money to buy ads on reddit? I know it’s giving them money but maybe it’ll help bring more over
Can’t speak for everyone but here are the reasons I prefer an actual jack:
-
3.5mm headphones are extremely universal and can be used for any audio device. USB-C and Bluetooth headphones cannot
-
Bluetooth is extremely inconsistent when paired with multiple devices and often gets disconnected because of competing devices
-
I can’t charge my phone and listen to USB c headphones at the same time
-
Manufacturers claim the removal of the jack was to improve the water resistance. I have never dropped my phone in water and would be willing to risk it.
-
I already have too many wireless things to charge
-
I have a small stockpile of broken wireless headphones. Meanwhile my 10 year old wired headphones are collecting dust
-
I have never lost something more often than that tiny ass USB to 3.5mm dongle adapter
-
I distrust large corporations with incentive to get consumers to buy more stuff from them

Think I won’t upvote this? I upvoted cans of beans. Have an upvote.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Overwatch 2 is now Steam's "worst game of all time"English
25·3 years agoGuess that’ll be the last time they put a game on steam
So instead of “I read this tweet on Twitter” it’s now “I read this X on X”? That is fucking dumb.
Maybe he’ll be dumb enough to sell the Twitter domain to pay bills and some rich hero buys it and puts Mastodon there instead

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a way to subscribe to all communities with the same name?

Agreed. The bean meme memes are where it’s at now
Or just massively forgetful and under prepared. Like me every time I take a flight somewhere
Not a proxmox pro by any means, but it can do both VMs and containers. I have a few VMs for various Linux distros to play around with. I also have one dedicated VM for all my security related tools.
Stuff like PI hole, jellyfin, logstash, etc. dont really have any need for a full OS, so a container works perfectly. Plus having a full OS with several things running on it makes it more difficult if you just need to restart one service
I started doing everything in VMs but over time realized some things were better to maintain as containers
I did play the hell out of this game back in the day, but there was an even older one that only worked in dos mode. I can’t remember the name, but I loved that version.

Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•How does reverse engineering of software work?English
1·3 years agoReverse engineering is more about understanding how a piece of software does something so you can better work with it, or make your own version of it. Typically requires a lot of time studying it, and usually goes hand in hand with decompiling. But decompiled source isnt the cleanest and doesn’t give you the exact same code the devs have. It only gives you the low level order of operations.
Most of the time, knowing why requires understanding all the code from an architecture perspective, which typically requires being part of the internal decision making. You won’t get that unless you have the actual source code with good comments and documentation. All of which would be stripped out during compilation.
Whenever I reverse engineer something at work is because it is usually a super old 3rd party software that’s out of support, and I need to see how it’s performing some task. I’m never able to get the context of why they do it a certain way but I do get the how of it

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK about corporations' strategies to kill open source protocols
2·3 years agoI think most people in theory are against big corporations, but when it comes down to it they just go ‘it is what it is’ and just accept the big corps without any attempts to break off that path.
My wife is like that and I think it has more to do with not being very tech savvy/or willingness to try something different.











I prefer ctrl-[ instead of escape
