Hi, there!

💆

I was born in 1989, so I am an ancient grandpa and demand respect for my lawn. (/s ya right like I own a house)

(P.s. I am not a sexy hairy ripped daddy bear, but I do own a cat named Tammy 🐈‍⬛)

    I finished ProperDim, a brightness management & automation app for Windows. it's available free & open source to help your eyeballs

  • I'm so tired

  • you're right

  • Why is Windows still bloated

    Jump

  • No because it is old software running on new hardware. Modern Windows comes with a ton if code so "old stuff" still works, it even favors bundling runtime cold for OLD frameworks rather than new in the installation. That's why you need to install modern. NET 10 etc after a new windows installation when installing new softeare, yet it runs old software out of the box. Companies aren't running dinosaur code on old computers, they're running dinosaur code on modern computers.

    If i remember right, Microsoft said they're dropping support for a lot of the old .NET stuff at least, so we'll see if it happens and if companies get mad or update themselves finally

  • What movie do you think is really underrated?

  • can I just get new games please?

  • I have heard this from multiple people even when I worked at a liquor store. That when you are on an upper or something that gives you speed that you cannot get drunk. Is this true? And how?

    Jump

  • you're actually only partially correct. alcohol is a stimulant when your BAC is increasing (like it does when you're actively drinking). it only becomes a depressant when your BAC is decreasing. pretty interesting and strange, and definitely something you don't wanna mix with medical stimulants!

    Jump

  • They may not actually be referring to the state of drunkeness. alcohol is also an upper, and mixing two uppers is ill-advised

  • A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climate

    Jump

  • cheaper refrigeration would DEFINITELY help this problem. the big issue with food waste is food spoils so quickly (especially produce and meat), so it makes more sense to toss it than try to find a big enough space that's REFRIGERATED because the food is usually free, no one wants to spend thousands preserving it. cheaper refrigeration would absolutely improve this scenario.

  • Minnesota is real as fuck for this one.

    Jump

  • don't fuck with Minnesota.

    even the gays are hardcore here (stonewall was an UPRISING not a protest!)

  • my program is significantly better than either of those options, including fully functional hotkeys, hybrid gamma/overlay brightness logic, hdr detection, quicktray shortcut slider, a complete scheduling system, window behavior/startup options, and an attractive dark interface all in a tiny window.

    and i did it in only 3 days. overkill? good, cuz i got the software i needed without knowing how to code in only 3 days. also, I've learned a ton about programming logic and code structure. it's hard to tell an llm to do something you yourself don't understand. at least if you want to build anything complex.

    Jump

  • so what is it then? i used llms to write the code for a feature complete desktop screen dimming application. did i produce it, if not develop it? am i just a... logic guide? legitimately asking because the program works better than any available alternative
