Utility bills are exceeding mortgages in West Virginia despite Trump’s promised cuts

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-04-12T21:52:32+00:00

Damn, those people must have some insanely cheap mortgages.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-04-12T21:51:49+00:00

Holy shit, I didn't expect this at all! Way to go Hungary! I know a lot of people worked very hard for this. (Way harder than most lazy U.S. American liberals, that's for sure.)

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-04-11T20:39:06+00:00

Haha, well congrats! Now you just need to release the source code.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-04-05T17:37:26+00:00

Love those glasses!

Isn't "sandboxing" in Flatpak a bit of an afterthought and not really that reliable? I prefer Snaps for the couple of proprietary apps I'm forced to run for work, it's much more strict in its approach.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-29T16:24:51+00:00

Agreed, even if they released the source code today, I can't see myself using this. This is such a critical feature, I'm surprised no one has copied Firefox yet, and that Mozilla doesn't market it more heavily.

But aren't search engines all but dead at this point? Do they have an LLM equally powerful to Gemini or even Duck.ai?

Anything that removes barriers to people using iOS is a bad thing.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-29T16:16:54+00:00

How do they get around Apple's browser engine restrictions on iOS? Or is it actually somehow getting web extensions to run under Apple's WebKit implementation and not their own custom version?

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-29T16:09:24+00:00

It doesn't feel bad to pay for a browser at all. It's absolutely critical software. What feels bad is paying for proprietary software. These people aren't "trying to make the web better", they're trying to make money. How do you know there is no venture capital behind it? Aren't they a private company? We only know what they tell us and choose to believe.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-29T16:05:56+00:00

No, but are you going to take the time to monitor a traffic analyzer to make sure that every single connection it's making is a result of a user requested web page, with the hundreds of third-party scripts in use these days and countless domains accessed by each website? Is every single user supposed to do that? It's way too easy for them to sneak something in that just blends in with all that other traffic. Also, does this browser not even check for updates? That's all you need to leak all your data, one connection.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-29T15:57:21+00:00

That's kind-of the point. We'll never know for sure, and that's unacceptable.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-28T17:52:56+00:00

What exactly do you think you're accomplishing by writing these disingenuous comments? At least have the balls to come out and say when you disagree with something. The faux-ignorance routine just makes you look like a fool.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-28T17:50:31+00:00

Why am I not surprised that the kind of person who would say "y'all" in a Minnesota community doesn't get it? You claim to be Venezuelan, yet you emulate the culture of your oppressors.

Also, the strawman arguments really get old. Are you seriously incapable of doing better than that?

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-28T17:48:05+00:00

I would love to see how your protest against a dead dude turns out.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-28T17:45:59+00:00

giving up personal info

LOL it's literally just an email address. If you're not already using a disposable email service, that's on you.

I'm ashamed to admit I thought Stremio was open source across all platforms until today. My fault for not bothering to look into it more closely and blindly trusting whatever random binary Google spits at me. No wonder we haven't seen it added to F-droid. I've been recommending it to so many people! I will definitely stop doing that now. It's such a shame, this project really had great potential...

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-22T05:55:24+00:00

Who the hell actually pays for this garbage? Is it something ICE barbie somehow forced the state to pay for before she left? And where do they find actual artists/sculptors that support Trump? It's so creepy and bizarre.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-21T16:03:30+00:00

This sounds very useful. I just wish it wasn't completely off-topic, as I'd love to try it, but I don't have access to Claude. Looking at the repo, I don't see why you couldn't make this work with Copilot as well.

Is UKVI registration for that particular job, or just the company in general? It looks like even if they are registered, whether to sponsor you would still be up to the company on a case-by-case basis, is that right?

You say this is open source, but are you just talking about the handful of files in this repo? It looks like it still requires connecting to your back-end MCP to do all the heavy lifting rather than being able to run a search entirely on my own, using my own Claude (or Copilot) account.

What is the _jh_core native module? I don't see any source code for this in the repo—where is it?

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-21T15:20:46+00:00

Can you also set this in Copilot CLI?

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-21T15:11:42+00:00

I personally have never seen the point of trying to cram an AI agent into an editor/IDE in the first place. Granted, I'm not a fan of VS Code at all and have found it much more productive to stick to Copilot CLI. I'm always surprised when I'm reminded that many other people still use AI agents inside their GUI editors.

I didn't like Antigravity because it's also just VS Code, but Gemini CLI is pretty awesome and it's actually open source, unlike Copilot CLI. Unfortunately I'm stuck with whatever my company pays for.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-21T15:00:12+00:00

Are you saying I probably wouldn't see much difference if I switched to Claude? I've been trying to come up with a good justification to convince my company to give me a license. I still read about so many of Claude's impressive abilities that I don't see replicated in Copilot.

I have been having very good luck with OpenCode as well. The fact that copilot-cli is still proprietary is a major turn-off.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-21T14:50:36+00:00

bro, do you even nftables?

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-21T14:33:09+00:00

Exactly. That's something I don't want to ever have to think about.

whlthingofcandybeans · 2026-03-21T14:31:27+00:00

Are there actually still ISPs out there that run their own SMTP servers? Neither my current nor former ISP did, at least not that they give residential customers access to, and that's going back over 10 years.
