  • something called “Roomy”

    is that

    • Roomy, “a programming language extension for writing parallel disk-based applications”?
    • Roomie, " accurate 3D models of apartments and dorms, helping residents arrange spaces, collaborate with roommates, and shop for furnishings"?
    • Roomyy, " a tool that helps manage the hotel system"?
    • ro0my, “how to design an effective website for your hospitality software company, focusing on” blah blah ?
    • roOomy, “lifelike virtual staging that showcases properties in their best light, enh” realtor blah blah?
    • Roomy Technologies, "redefining the way businesses connect, transact and grow. Our next-gen Point of Sale (POS) system called Chow POS " blah blah?
    • Roomy space, a blank website mentioning chat that can’t even put a “we crutch on javascript because we don’t know better” banner? A pic below may be the same thing – it suits the broken theme.
    • Roomy, “a freeform communications playground for messages both big and small, fast and slow” … so … messaging with extra words.
    • https://github.com/muni-town/roomy, which seems to offer a discord bridge but crutches on npm downstream of the repo, and thus breaks ISO27002 and shatters the preconception of system-design competence?

    Or something else?

    I can feel my eyes bleeding.



  • My boomer mom and all her friends have iPhones. They all typo. They all complain about the keyboard. She’s given up now, since she’s sundowning hard and life for her is just too short. She vomits some letter chowder and we eventually figure it out.

    Wasnt apple supposed to be a pro-people best-UX utopia?

    (Also, S10 gang represent)



  • The plot below shows the price of TVs across Best Buy’s Black Friday ads for the last 25 years. The units are “dollars per area-pixel”: price divided by screen area times the number of pixels (normalized so that standard definition = 1). This is to account for the fact that bigger, higher resolution TVs are more expensive. You can see that, in line with the inflation chart, the price per area-pixel has fallen by more than 90%.

    Yay! Now do computer ram from 1980 to 2020 before Ai was involved, and discuss size per dollar. You wanna do CPUs or hard drives next?







  • “configuring DHCP in networkd/NetworkManager systems is almost impossible, here’s how I did it”

    six lines.

    Outside of Systemd and all its other neu-code shyte, it’s a one-line change to either your network config or your dhclient.conf. It’s been around 35 years and well-tested, and didn’t need St Lennart’s cancer to somehow fix.

    When it ain’t broke …
