Where is this even coming from? The guy above me is saying not to give devs better hardware and to teach them to code better.

I followed up with an example of how using indices in a database to boost the performance helped more than throwing more hardware at it.

This has nothing to do with having worked on old code. Stop trying to pull my comment out of context.

But yes you’re right. Adding indexes to a database does nothing to solve adding a new feature in the scenario you described. I also never claimed it did.

This is very true. You don’t need a bigger database server, you need an index on that table you query all the time that’s doing full table scans.

You’d be surprised how often DDOS can be an inside job.

You are correct. I misread ( or my brain farted ) and looked up the wrong one.

Libreoffice their latest blogpost is from the 20th of August 2025. There have been a few releases in the past few months as well.

Openoffice their latest ( Apache Openoffice 4.1.15 ) was released almost 2 years ago ( December 2023 ).

Libreoffice seems like a more recent, better supported tool over Openoffice which hasn’t seen any updates since 2023 according to their own website.

I’m on my phone, so I didn’t search extensively. But I think that also plays a role in why there’s a much larger fanbase for libreoffice rather than Openoffice.

I’ve no recent experience with either so I can’t comment on how well either works.

Edit: I looked up the wrong one. My statement remains correct w.r.t. Openoffice, but they mentioned Onlyoffice which is a different product.

Wait. Doesn’t that mean If you slot it in a lvl 9 slot you will animate

9 + ( 2 additional per level slot over 4 = 10 ) = 19 skeletons?

Edit: Never mind. It’s 1 skeleton and 12 extra for being level 9. I assumed every level would also increase the number of skellies raised. My bad

Step 1: Get chickens

Step 2: add oats ( oat flakes ) to the pan with grease

Step 3: stir until they’ve absorbed the fat

Step 4: treat the chickens

Step 5: ???

Step 6: Profit!

Win11 start menu is a react native component.

Users report that clicking the Start button can spike CPU usage by 30% to 70% on at least one core, depending on the hardware configuration. The issue doesn’t occur consistently across all systems, with some users noting it happens in about 50% of clicks.

But look at all these cost savings! I made the company profitable /s

Has it gotten a makeover yet? Last time I used it ~3 years ago it still looked like it was built in the early 90s.

It was functional, not a complaint about that. The super old design just got on my nerves.

Why are people texting their physics teacher?

I think this setting is reset on a phone reboot.

To them it probably is. I’ve seen literal posts ( or GitHub comments - I forgot ) where they are raging their fps dropped from 420 to 370 with the latest patch and that the game is now completely unplayable!

They have a point complaining because the patch had a big fps drop, but the game is unplayable? At 370fps? Gtfo xD.

There’s people playing on a lot less than that.

What could go wrong when you let an ad company dictate the browser standards/rules.

I know we have Firefox and some forks like librewolf, but percentage wise it feels like a lost battle ( even if I am on Firefox ).

If only people switched en masse to Firefox for the ad blocker. Wouldn’t that be something… One big collective FU to Google.

Oh well. One can dream I guess.

To be honest my steam Deck doesn’t go that far beyond 4h either on a single charge when I lower all the settings.

I guess they might lose customers, but the ad revenue will offset it. Which could be a win for them. Less cars to produce for the same amount of money. If they survive everybody else will probably just follow suit. Like the car functionality subscriptions.

I’m just sad we reached this point.

Ban targeted advertising. Ban data gathering. You won’t even have to deal with the f***ing cookie banners anymore.

This. I used to have a bunch of the games backed up on a hard drive because copying the files over & patching was faster than redownloading it.

This is the reason why I only play cs2 with 5 or 4 people in the team. I suck, usually, but CBA dealing with salty tryhard teammates. At least the people I play with are just there for a good time.

I swear one of them should be in the 20k rating region if he wasn’t constantly dragged down by us losers. :D

Its a plague in online games. If its anything like real life I assume that people just get a kick out of doing it and getting away with it. Stomping people and being elitist about it. I guess that’s the reason why people smurf too.

Like a rich kid feeling better than the rest because dad=rich and your dad is not.

People can do whatever they want in single player games. Run with infinite ammo, god mode, flying, unlock all skills at lvl 1, increase stats/or resources on demand. I dont care. Maybe it takes the edge off or maybe they want to go through the campaign story without all the grinding after a long day at work or school.

I’m not complaining. I won’t lose any sleep over it. If it fulfills your power fantasy or whatever. Go for it. You’re not hurting anyone.

But the people who cheat in online games can piss right off. They’re ruining of for everyone on multiple levels ( kernel AC, online enjoyment, … ).

I recently saw a documentary clip on how people cheat nowadays with arduinos and PIs to circumvent kernel anti cheat and stuff. It was fucking depressing.

If you get joy from ruining other people their day you need to go outside, touch some grass and contemplate your life’s choices.

The same goes for smurfs. If you want to stomp on something then go stomp on very easy bots while they aren’t sentient yet.
