Ain't nobody got time for that crap!
  • I just got an AI to write a cover letter for me highlighting specific skjlls, and then just edited those skills to fit the job I was applying to. Wasn't really that much effort, and I did land a job in about 2 weeks of searching.

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's launch has been marred by long load times, server issues and now it has overwhelmingly negative reviews
  • they promised Windows 10 would be the "last Windows," too.

    Iirc, they didn't. There was one person who didn't really have the authority to make such claims say something that could have been understood as win 10 is the last windows.

    I hate to defend Microsoft, they're an awful company, but this just was never really true.

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's launch has been marred by long load times, server issues and now it has overwhelmingly negative reviews
  • There is a nearly zero percent chance that the game developers are also cloud experts

    Well yeah, that's why you would put some cloud experts on the project besides the game devs if you're doing things like this. It's not just game developers working on the game.

    Doesn't even have to be people feom the Azure team. Microsoft has plenty of resources to teach someone to be a cloud expert in other branches, they even offer certifications for outside people, surely they can manage a few of their own.

  • Hear me out, a Fediverse client that mimics Nintendo's Miiverse
  • There's the pretendo network, which continues support for the 3ds. Haven't used it myself, but I think the miiverse network is also supported by them.

    So at least you can still use miiverse to some extent, though probably with way fewer people.

  • What is stopping a scammer from HTTPS certificating a "nonsense.ReputableBank.com"
  • Yeah, letsencrypt doesn't do this for example. They do ask for an email address, but that's just for expiry notices.

    They do require you control the domain, and run it on the server the DNS record points to. When using certbot at least.

  • Reporters Without Borders sues X
  • Ok maybe a very stupid question but

    The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday announced

    Isn't that gramatically incorrect? Shouldn't it be "The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders announced on Thursday"?

    I see this kind of writing a lot in news articles so surely it's not actually wrong, but that's not how I was taught English writing.

  • Sounds when I press certain buttons

    So recently, when I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3, which involves a lot of pressing alt, a system sound keeps playing every once in a while. I think it has something to do with alt+wasd or alt+mouse buttons or something, but I can't figure out what it is.

    Anyone know what this could be?

    App sandboxing/cloning solutions for multiple accounts

    I'm looking for a good solution to clone/sandbox an app, so I can use it with multiple accounts.

    I recently got a separate phone number, and also a whatsapp account, for work-related stuff. Turns out whatsapp's own account switching thing is very unreliable and often doesn't deliver any notifications for the "inactive" account.

    I remember using Island a long time ago, but unfortunately that one hasn't been updated in 3 years. I'm using parallel space right now, which at least delivers my notifications, but often super late and includes ads, which also isn't ideal.

    Are there any good cloning solutions left, preferably with decently quick notifications? (open source would also be a big plus ofc)

    Dependabot alternatives for non-github hosts?

    I'm really bad at keeping my dependencies up-to-date manually, so dependabot was great for me. I don't use github anymore though, and I haven't really been able to find a good alternative.

    I found Snyk, which seems to do that, but they only allow logging in with 3rd party providers which I'm not a big fan of.

    Edit: seems like Snyk also only supports a few git hosts, and Codeberg isn't one of them.

    Occasional slow loading and gateway timeouts

    The past few days I've noticed occasionally dbzer0 loads extremely slowly, or even hits a gateway timeout.

    Is it just me or is the instance having some trouble keeping up?

    Seems like it's only the front-end that has trouble loading, as I could still navigate next pages just fine while a different tab was busy timing out on load.

    Also another thing I noticed is sometimes while it's still loading, the title of the page will be about a different post altogether. Not sure if that's related, sounds like just a caching issue to me.
