I am slowly switching back to podcasts, it is only question of time when yt quality goes bellow usability, they are dancing around that thin line like with search.

First ever, I think was

First on personal computer was probably "Football Manager" on C64: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ej3zs7PB-QQ

Firts on x86 was "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" https://youtube.com/watch?v=EGoFwc_EgZM in school.

But first ever was probably some arcade, I would love to know which one was first contact. Never even though of it. Tetris, or Operation wolf, or Donky Kong.

This things are also some of first: https://youtube.com/watch?v=PNZ6DUEzzeA and https://youtube.com/watch?v=T0HovHcgM1g

Woow... you time traveled me far in the past. But I don't know which one was first :(.

Thank you for mentioning Pie Fed, I neverd heard of it until now, but looks great. Clean code, intro video for developers, db structure exolained. Really friendly for new contributors, quite refreshing.

If those options are functional, otherwise focus on making some of them functional.

Sadly, this is expected, the unknown person didn't break any law. I guess we need to update laws to cover this kind of threats.

Consult a lawyer, document everything.

Everyone involved should try to write down or record everything they can remember about suspected person and contact with them.

My country is similar, but there is a difference if they cross a line at some point if you reported them before or not. Punishment is much harder and faster if there are reports before incident.

Maybe an error?

Error would be if they removed GMaps or Gmail from Play store, this is sabotage.

Play store is 99% some kind of scum, but they found open source app that community likes and is providing service comparable to their app. Yeah, right.

If they don't want us to call it sabotage, they should be extra careful about apps that are providing same service as them.

Sadly we don't have huge choice. I think gpodder wirks on windows: https://gpodder.github.io/ and does the job.

But within artificial sweeteners, which might be even worse for our health than sugar.

The only carbonated drink without caffeine, alcohol and sugar is non alcoholic beer.

It is really great, just find one which after taste does not bother you (most have some sweet aftertaste) and drink it cold. It is great drink.

Part of those EV are lithium mines being pushed on developing nations.

People in Serbia are protesting for the last two years over very poisonous lithim mining project planned in the green, healthy and fertile land.

While they claim "biggest lithium mine in Europe" and "supplying 90% of EU needs", they forget to say "current needs" and that it will have lithium for maybe 1 milion cars per year. EU has 250 million cars. In 10 years 10 million cars which will all need new battery.

So they want to destroy beautiful nature, to poison huge part of agricultural land, for 10 million EVs. That will, in bast possibile scenario reduce CO2 by 0.5%. Cars are 20% of CO2 emissions in EU. EV have, at best, 50% less CO2 emissions in 10 years of use. So 50% of 10/250 part of 20%... that's miserable.

Serbia gets 3% of lithium sales (that would be equally miserable few millions per year). That's not even enough for dealing with accidents that might happen with thousand of tons of sulfuric acid needed for mine.

Serbia is not part of EU and does not have money to buy EVs, nor has clean energy capacity to make good use of those EVs.

Here is published scientific report: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-68072-9

And images and articles about it:

It is truly upsetting to see how complicated for use password managers are.

I grow up around computers and I can barely mange them. Other people just don't understand how to use them, it is complicated and inconvenient. Even after I set them up and show them multiple times, friends don't manage.

In browser password managers cover 90%, but I guess web sites and apps need to start testing UX for password managers. Some of them introduce stupid flows that brake all of them.

Android is complete shit show.

It is not users, but applications and UX that doesn't care about security.

If you need CUDA for certain applications in example, its better to use Nvidia.

Depends on budget. PyTorch works nicely on ROCm and, for me, bigger constraint is available VRAM than GPU speed and looks like AMD has cheaper RAM, comparing their cheapest 16GB cards AMD is 33% cheaper than Nvidia where I live, and there was some card 45% cheaper few months ago. Huge savings if on limited budget.
