Whenever something bad happens to France, I remember how they managed to fuck up Haiti after they got their independence, then I stop feeling any sympathy for the french

It never ceases to amaze me how many people operate entirely on a "I got mine, fuck you, freeloader" mentality

Someone ran a modern Linux OS on a 30-year-old CPU, and it's surprisingly usable in c/linux@programming.dev

He should give MenuetOS or KolibriOS a try instead of Tiny Core - could probably run with only 64MB of RAM instead of 128

As RC-1138 would put it, "Times have changed"

AI won't become a bubble as long as everyone stays 'thoughtful and disciplined,' Microsoft's Brad Smith says in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

The market, well known for its thoughtfulness and discipline, is sure to remain so.

The Economist on using phrenology for hiring and lending decisions: "Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic" […] "For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing" in c/technology@lemmy.world

Yeah, nothing says "this person will repay their loans" like looking at their face and nothing fucking else.

I love how you can just call it capetalismo in portuguese, capeta = devil

What types of cleaning products do you *really* need to clean the bathroom? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I'll never cease to be amazed by how easily we can create impromptu chemical weapons just by trying to clean our homes with bleach

TIL our complex society gave rise to increased hypothetical and abstract thinking in c/til@lemmy.world

Interesting, going to check that book

What's that fabuloso?

Awesome DOS - List of stuff for DOS, including stuff you can run and stuff to make stuff (github.com)
 

From the page:

A curated list of references for development of DOS applications and learning about the system itself. This includes list of compilers, tutorials, videos, links to free and paid books and source code to DOS games. The goal of this list is to collect information and act as a starting point for someone who wants to start out retro-programming for the DOS platform.

Android owners - Get TrackerControl (f-droid.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/462543

Title.

There's also a version on the Play Store, but you should definitely get the F-Droid version. It's the one with the full features enabled.

It lets you fully block some apps' access to the internet, including system apps. Depending on your phone manufacturer, like Xiaomi and Samsung, they can be extremely invasive and show ads on your stock apps.

I like these federated services being kinda "rough around the edges" (programming.dev)
 

In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.

Being "harder"* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies' services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.

  • "harder" because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

To the surprise of no one, Google is being accused of abusing its power with ads (www.theregister.com)
 

TLDR of the article:

Google is showing ads outside of YT, in those side players that everyone hates while they just want to read articles, but counting them as normal views.

The Trove - You can still access it via Archive.org (web.archive.org)

Title. Have fun and patience, because downloads off archive are very slow.

Also, if y'all know a decent place to share some of that stuff again, comment so me and others can grab it off the archive and reup it elsewhere for easy access

EDIT: Not everything is still archived. Just tried to peruse Starfinder folder, and it has been deleted from Archive. Some other folders and files are still working

Is Soulseek safe? (programming.dev)
 

I saw another post asking how to set up Soulseek and, at first glance, it looks like those old P2P file sharing platforms, like eMule, Kazaa or Limewire.

As someone who used those during their peak, I'm well aware of the risks of getting unwanted stuff, not to mention that you're fully exposed within the network.

Does Soulseek deal with those issues, or are users exposed to those risks as well?

Is there a SD or microSD card reader hub product? (programming.dev)
 

I know there are several USB hub dongles that could be used in a similar manner, but what I'm looking for is something that occupies a single USB port and offers 3+ slots for SD and/or microSD cards, letting me browse them all from my computer. Are there any such products? I'm ok with buying off Aliexpress
