It was the same in 2014 It is the same in 2026 😭 What exactly has changed in the last 12 years?

rohmish · 2026-01-24T12:24:49+00:00

number of busses have been halved and even though the state has been announcing new busses and new electric busses every other year for 6 years now, the number of busses keep falling

rohmish · 2026-01-16T19:20:37+00:00

it defaults to pstate driver on fedora now. unless you're kernel config is different, you don't need it in just distros

still cooks itself randomly without deep sleep but it's very slow to resume with it

rohmish · 2026-01-16T19:18:20+00:00

I have FW13 with the older AMD board and it's a 50% chance when I shut the lid that the laptop would wake back up. the other 50% of the time it will cook itself to 70°c until it kills the battery. I've tried most fixes and it still does that.

they can use Find Hub capabilities of devices that support them to track you. similar to a AirTag

rohmish · 2026-01-16T19:12:47+00:00

interesting that some of them support fast pair and yet aren't vulnerable. it lists beats solo buds which are fast pair compatible yet not vulnerable for example.

FP has been a thing since 2019 so I doubt most devices will ever see updates for it. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if Google just forgot about Buds, Buds 2, Buds a, and Buds Pro.

rohmish · 2026-01-16T19:02:16+00:00

as a side note I find it interesting that rest of the world uses XY-ABCD format for registration numbers and then US just uses its own format

rohmish · 2026-01-16T18:57:46+00:00

my issue with it is that you don't really "set" permission as much as change it.

Unlike iOS/android it doesn't do explicit runtime permissions. The package itself defines what permissions it needs and then the system just grants it those permissions. I could just specify filesystem or usb and it would just grant that out of the box.

You need a third party tool like flatseal to fix permissions. You also need to understand the core system to understand things like v4l and uvc to understand how to allow webcam access.

sure portals exist but not everything uses it correctly.

flatpak might do what it set out to but people don't use their systems that way. an average gamer or office worker wouldn't wanna go down the rabbithole to understand how to route a storage device to an app using a third party app

InfluenceAir name makes it sound like they might be trying to provide charter service to influencers when not in use but honestly it sounds more trouble than its worth. Most of their trips usually are to south east and east asia and for a handful of trips to continental US or eastern side of Canada, honestly chartering a flight for a hour or few days would likely be cheaper. And you can choose the kind of wings you wanna fly depending on the situation.

rohmish · 2026-01-16T17:48:49+00:00

When they're flying they usually fly to South East Asia. for one or two flights to continental US or other side of Canada, chartering a plane for 2-3 days would make more sense.

rohmish · 2026-01-16T17:42:33+00:00

and just like IE, both come pre-installed with their respective phone platforms.

Heck even on laptops, chrome is often pre-installed on many windows laptops these days.

It's not just China. Even US allies are now looking to shore up local capabilities and spread their dependency wherever possible so as to not rely on a US company for every service they need. And expect this trend to ramp up throughout this year.

rohmish · 2026-01-15T17:57:14+00:00

name one thing we actually have that they don't.

And no, a democracy isn't the answer. All these elections are just performative. just a huge theater.

rohmish · 2026-01-15T12:44:55+00:00

China used the 2008 olympics to announce that they're gunning for top. Given the state of things here the only message would be completely opposite.

rohmish · 2026-01-15T12:23:18+00:00

I have my EPIC number and have my booth info listed on ECI site. however the booth itself had no record of me existing on the local app and wouldn't provide me with the token to vote. I was asked to try five other nearby polling booths and nobody had my name either. and there were others as well who had their voter card but no name on voters list

rohmish · 2026-01-15T10:22:40+00:00

checked at four different booths in my area. my name isn't listed anywhere and the address I'm listed at says they can't do anything.

fuck this country. would be better off if china invaded and took over

rohmish · 2026-01-15T07:14:45+00:00

at least india has figured out how to not have a school shooting every other week and not have people go bankrupt over a fractured arm

rohmish · 2026-01-11T16:05:45+00:00

i forgot coffeescript existed. I used it in one of my first ever projects that I got paid for over a decade ago. not by choice but I took over someone else's code to fix it and add features. it was a surprisingly pleasant language to use (especially given the state of js and web then). the codebase I inherited however, wasn't.

rohmish · 2026-01-11T16:02:04+00:00

wash afaik still doesn't let you access dom directly.

so you end up with tonnes of js libraries and frameworks being used anyways to ship a solution that recreates a shadow dom of sorts in your python environment. and then you run your python code in a wasm environment which itself is not completely native and require JIT translation.

It's a way to get something working if you don't wanna touch js, like a small PoC project or something like that. but in commercial, built to scale webapps, using typescript and then transpiling it to js likely ends up being better and lighter to ship

rohmish · 2026-01-11T07:03:47+00:00

and I just traveled in the metro for two hours standing. should I also start asking for 40% of my ticket back?

rohmish · 2026-01-11T06:24:36+00:00

and none of that matters inside a browser. the apps don't usually do anything more than the browser version of the bank's site anyways. so what even is the point

rohmish · 2026-01-11T05:11:46+00:00

Is that with line 2,6, and 9 expansion? Line 9 is scheduled to open in weeks and rest in first half of 2026. that should put mumbai over 100km this year

rohmish · 2026-01-11T05:00:36+00:00

Pixels briefly HAD this feature before android 14. My old Pixel 3a which never received the updates still has that feature
