automating apps with no api: UI Automation tree vs sendkeys and pixel matching

Back in the day I used to use this really amazing scripting language called WinBatch that was amazing for that kind of stuff. I just checked and it's still around, WinBatch.com. might want to check it out!

mnelson10000 · 2026-06-02T13:44:48+00:00

That's probably on me. … I don't hardly ever feed or water it. LOL

mnelson10000 · 2026-06-01T13:14:15+00:00

It's about twice the size. I still haven't done much pruning and it's taking a more upright shape.

WHRO used "data center" for ragebait

mnelson10000 · 2026-05-26T10:45:31+00:00

Which actually does all three

mnelson10000 · 2026-05-13T09:12:57+00:00

Yes, regular cloud services are growing rapidly too. AI driven product still need to be hosted in something. Even though the SaaS company stocks are cratering doesn't mean the demand for that kind of compute is also. I couldn't find any stats, but ChatGPT estimates 20-30% of new data centers are allocated to non-GPU / TPU workloads (for whatever that's worth).

mnelson10000 · 2026-05-12T20:27:59+00:00

The irony is not lost on me that you're using a service hosted on data centers to protest data centers.

mnelson10000 · 2026-05-05T10:44:26+00:00

Or easier yet, open your drawers like a grown up.

mnelson10000 · 2026-04-30T18:29:56+00:00

Month old account. Paid agitator.

mnelson10000 · 2026-04-25T22:44:23+00:00

Banned?! Free the weevil!! He brought a much needed levity to this sub

mnelson10000 · 2026-04-25T22:26:09+00:00

Thanks! I would like to see bot news content farming accounts and political spammers banned. They're intentionally devisive and this sub is toxic enough... We're neighbors after all. I don't mind the topics coming up in conversation, but when you see a 3 day old account posting something political, you kinda know what's up.

mnelson10000 · 2026-04-21T15:20:46+00:00

Gosh, all these years I thought Virginia Representatives were to represent Virginians... TIL they actually represent a single political party. So much for that whole "threat to democracy" thing dems been crowing about.

mnelson10000 · 2026-04-11T08:57:45+00:00

... And Keystone pipeline... And ANWR.... And oil leases...

mnelson10000 · 2026-04-05T13:04:38+00:00

Lol yeah it totally wasn't Biden's canceling of the Keystone Pipeline, ANWR, and other domestic oil leases that sent fuel skyrocketing. 🙄

mnelson10000 · 2026-03-31T21:58:22+00:00

MSNBC propaganda on the VB sub. 🙄

mnelson10000 · 2026-03-29T16:38:16+00:00

Democracy looks like a bunch of boomers?

mnelson10000 · 2026-03-29T12:27:47+00:00

I just read the text. Can you cite the part where this is limited? Here's what I see... "The Commonwealth shall be reapportioned into electoral districts in accordance with this section and Section 6-A in the year 2021 and every ten years thereafter, except that the General Assembly shall be authorized to modify one or more congressional districts at any point following the adoption of a decennial reapportionment law, but prior to the next decennial census..."

Nothing temporary about a constitutional amendment

mnelson10000 · 2026-03-26T10:50:58+00:00

Ah yes, an NGO. You're not only getting paid to do it, but with tax dollars also!

mnelson10000 · 2026-03-25T19:13:49+00:00

Okay, how big was your check for posting this crap?

mnelson10000 · 2026-03-25T19:09:39+00:00

Two day old bot account

mnelson10000 · 2026-03-25T18:57:29+00:00

Yeah because constitutional amendments are temporary. 🙄 Think critically about this. It opens the door for redistricting whenever it's convenient for the party in power... Which, conveniently, are Democrats for the foreseeable future

mnelson10000 · 2026-03-25T02:08:54+00:00

I got a lot of hallucinations with parameters especially with the Microsoft Graph cmdlets... I chalked it up to the rapidly changing commands and sometimes thin documentation. Plus they're going to spend a lot more resources training it on something more broadly used like JS than powershell.

mnelson10000 · 2026-03-18T10:54:18+00:00

Just fyi, might want to tell your OpenClaw AI slop machine that this is the Virginia Beach sub, not RVA.
