@nprofile…h6ty It means they would cash out all the other splits of my pension like trust funds, forex and real estate and put them into stocks instead until stocks make up 80%

2026-03-21 21:53:42 UTC

I just got an E-mail from my workplace's pension fund that recommended "boosting" by pension by changing its split from 50% stocks to 80% stocks.
The banks are clearly getting desperate to prop the stock markets up with people's pensions, so I guess that's my sign to lower the stock split instead.

I was able to test with some equipment at work, and you can indeed bypass the resolution restrictions on the Macbook Neo by using a DisplayLink dock.

Man I'm really excited for the Macbook Neo and for once it feels like waiting a week for the release is actually going to be rough. Haven't been this excited about an Apple announcement since they first announced they were going ARM.
Just like how apple going ARM hopefully meant others were going to copy them and make more ARM computers (although so far laptop manufacturers and windows have utterly failed on that front), I hope the Macbook Neo is going to force budget laptops to actually be decent.
I want a world where finding a cheaper laptop where productivity basics like the screen and keyboard aren't horrible isn't difficult anymore.

I had heard Tahoe was worse for RAM, but I didn't know it was this bad.
If the OS update is this rough on RAM and they're shipping an 8GB machine, this journey is going to be bumpy af.

2026-03-04 17:51:18 UTC

God damn. 8GB on the Macbook Neo is going to be ROUGH if it's anything like my 2019 16" Macbook Pro.
On Sequoia my 2019 MBP used about 6GB when idle on the desktop. However after updating to Tahoe it uses ~8GB just chilling on the desktop, ~10GB once I open safari.
And my MPB has a dedicated AMD GPU, so it doesn't even need to use any of the RAM as VRAM, the Neo does use shared memory.
Unless the copy of Tahoe that ships on the Neo is tweaked in some way, that thing is going to have like 25% of its memory pool in swap while doing literally nothing.

@nprofile…8m52 you never used the original legends that were oh so common? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koss_Corporation#/media/File:Koss_PortaPro.jpg
The plastics were far worse. if these things died it was because the whole driver unit fell out, the plastic hinge holding the driver unit in place cracked or the two black plastic things holding the two metal bands together snapped. And the originals had a really thin AUX cable so those cables would break constantly. (Hopefully a non issue on the modern bluetooth renditions)
Even if the headphones split in two you could just rejoin the two metal bands. The thin top band is the MOST reliable part of these headphones BY FAR lmao.

This marketing statement is so funny to me.
Because Xbox currently sells the weakest TV console of the generation (Series S) and frankly encourages you to use even weaker hardware, like your phone or cruddy school laptop to stream.
Windows is a very proprietary and confusing OS. Filled with telemetry and AI crap you don't have the "Freedom" to easily turn off.

@nprofile…2ncm In Poland you can use Blik or Przelewy24.
I might not have been clear enough about it in the OP. But the goal was not to shill Trustly, the point is to check if there's a payment method available which bypasses Visa/MasterCard (And Amex I guess, if anyone uses those).
I recommend doing this elsewhere as well, not just on Steam. Surprisingly many stores these days let you pay directly from your bank, but many are unaware.

2025-07-25 19:16:23 UTC

Regarding the Steam and Visa/Mastercard debacle.
Many people probably know I'm very anti-censorship of any kind, so I would like to remind everyone that Steam supports Trustly as a payment method.
While they are of course also a payment processor, it works by paying directly from your bank account, so it at least bypasses the physical card dependency on Visa/MasterCard. Of course it also means the card providers don't get to take a cut.
It works with surprisingly many banks, so I urge you to give it a try the next time you buy something on Steam.

Home assistant lets me:
1) Switch between "Off" and "Cooling". Can't select fan or dehumidifier mode though
2) Change fan speed
3) Set temperature
4) Read out the current room temperature (Can't even do this on the device itself without stopping it)
Besides the two missing modes, the only thing I can't do seems to be enabling night mode, and enabling/disabling the swing on the exhaust.
Like most cheap portable ACs, despite being in a different form factor, this thing can only cool, it can't heat. Definitely the dumbest thing about it. I don't get why most of these portable ACs still don't have a heating mode, especially a split unit like this one.

Works great, most of the noise is now outdoors, it freed up floor space, and despite only being 5000 BTU rather than 9000 BTU. It feels like it cools about the same amount thanks to the better efficiency.
Like every AC ever it is entirely incompatible with scandinavian windows, but clamping the indoor unit in place wasn't that bad. It's only like a 1/10 on the jank scale.

@nprofile…pz9v I know it doesn't care about the exact distribution method. All it cares about is that if you "bought" a game, it should be left functional when support is pulled.
Nobody knows exactly what effect SKG will have on internet-dependent physical media yet.
I don't expect SKG to directly kill key card games. But I hope it will lead to enough limits around marketing and labeling being placed on them that very few consumers actually want to buy one, and few publishers want to use them.
If stores can no longer call Digital Key Cards a sale, and have to print a fat "This cartridge is a rental product and is only guaranteed to function until August 2030" on the game's box. That'd be plenty for me.
Unfortunately I suspect Nintendo will get away with simply letting you download a copy of the game before the eshop shuts down. (Which sucks because your physical copy would be converted into a digital one, and probably be difficult to move to another console if your current one dies)
>doesn't aim to compel companies to keep storefront servers on indefinitely
Exactly why games you have "bought" as a Key Card will stop working properly when the eshop is dead. If someone bought a key card after whatever SKG does takes effect, how do you convert that key card into something that's "left in a functional state"
>nor forcing everything to be DRM free binaries
No, but it forces them to remove any internet-dependent DRM before its end-of-support date.
>your physical game purchases are just as unsafe as digital purchases.
SKG doesn't target only digital purchases either as far as I'm aware. Hence why it will hopefully protect physical games as well.

I really hope the Stop Killing Games stuff manages to get though the pipeline relatively quickly so it can take effect in 2027 or something.
Because I really want it to kill stuff like the Digital Key Card bullshit that Nintendo is trying to pull with the Switch 2

@nprofile…359z @nprofile…p3jt That's how it should be. Wayland should be a behind the scenes decision. KDE can move their focus to Wayland. But a user shouldn't necessarily have to think about that before Debian 14 or whatever drops and a year or two of development has hopefully ironed out the worst.
Everyone doesn't need to run Arch Linux for the latest feature updates, not even Linux enthusiasts.
This isn't Windows, we don't need to force breaking updates on users every 6 months to cram new AI features or whatever into the OS. If the user has to take some action it should be bundled up for the every 2 years they update their OS, or every 5+ years when they replace their laptop.

did anyone actually use ReiserFS?
It's one of those filesystems I've heard the name of plenty and its infamous because its creator got arrested for murder.
Yet I've never met a single soul who has actually used ReiserFS outside of a quick test

@nprofile…csx6 I couldn't get into Casette Beasts or temtem.
temtem felt way too bootleg for me.
Cassette Beasts just drove me nuts. Probably because I want to travel alone, yet Cassette Beasts always wanted to slap some side character along for the ride. The battle system also felt overly clunky, you can have way too many skills on a monster and it starts doing stuff like multi-typed moves. Doesn't feel like Pokemon at all imo.
If anything the best thing I've found to help my Pokemon withdrawal symptoms is good old Shin Megami Tensei.

I just wish they'd fix Pokemon man. Scarlet and Violet are the first games I've outright not bought, not even considered buying.
Pokemon Sword and Shield might have looked a bit shite and lazy, but they were still somewhat fun to play. Scarlet and Violet are just hot trash. To the point where I can't brute force them into a decent state even with a 7800X3D and 7900XTX.

>consider that avoiding most evil companies takes near-zero effort
Which is why I do. My house is Windows-free and I self-host just about everything.
Nintendo has little alternative though, they're the only company making good exclusives. I can't just buy their games on PC. I used to emulate switch games on my Steam Deck but it really isn't fun to have the thing sound like a jet plane and kill its battery in an hour, all while the game still stutters.

@nprofile…csx6 I am generally the type of who votes with my wallet. But Nintendo is just ass on the legal side. If we can manage to pass some stuff like the stopkillinggames campaign (unfortunately it seems very unable to hit 1 million by the deadline) it'd fix most of the issues I have with Nintendo.
Overall I consider companies like FAANG to be far worse than Nintendo.
Nintendo are bad, but considering a large portion of their audience are kids and parents, I doubt we'll be able to affect their actions. Since their audience is borderline unreachable via the internet.
I'll focus on avoiding the companies I consider most evil first.

Had about 3 hours to play stuff on the Switch 2 now. It's a real neat console.
Seeing it run Zelda at solid 60fps is so satisfying.
I do hope they get some more switch 2 editions out quickly though. So many switch games still have their framerates and resolutions capped.

@nprofile…m3qg Fun. When I last looked it I don't even think it could automatically sort torrents based on tags.
As long as it reliably runs without the UI becoming slow as syrup and can sort my torrents into "Sorted/<Tag>" automatically when completed, that's frankly just about everything I need.

@nprofile…m3qg Oh god yes. The Debian packages are outright ass, it's why I used to either run my seedbox on Arch linux, or compile it myself.
Frankly I don't even know why debian bothers to package the same 0.9.8 release to this day.
I switched to rtorrent again a few years ago because Deluge was giving me a bunch of other issues, but I reckon I should probably just switch back.
How is transmission these days? I've used it on desktops a couple times, but haven't looked at it for server use since like 2015, back then it was way too basic

@nprofile…vwt0 They are literally only one game away, assuming we don't count 11. It's kind of sad honestly.
1-6 have pixel remasters
7 has multiple versions
8-10 have HD versions
** 11 is dead on both PS and Xbox afaik **
12 has an HD version
** 13 is missing **
14 is still live
15 was of course a PS exclusive until pretty recently.

@nprofile…vwt0 Well, Final Fantasy 12 is missing as well. But that's missing from Xbox as well, so if you count that as a mainline game Xbox are lying as well
