What I do is start a micro web server with Python on a termux terminal, if you don’t have root on said device you’ll be stuck in the /data/data/com.termux/files/ but its still enough to save files with Firefox to said directory on the files/home/ I believe? (export or share to termux and you’ll be taken to termux on the aforementioned directory, where you can always pwd to know where you are) however if you do have root you’ll be able to literally start the mini web server on the / or any folder you like. And then on your laptop you browse to the IP of the phone and the custom port, which if its hotspot you can also find via termux or tends to be 172.20.10.1 or something mundane depending on your carrier.

TBH using Bottles to run an exe feels more refined than the epic games UI.

These guys are living in the glory. I bet they don’t even know all the info they need is just in a fucking config file, in a damn manual somewhere or in the stupid docs that people doesn’t seem to bother reading anymore, or writing some decent ones.

shlubs who barely passed undergrad data structures and algorithms courses.

And that’s the problem with most people getting into IT nowadays, they expect to go to an algorithms course or a development bootcamp and come out knowing everything to make a 6 figure salary, but don’t even try to learn what a software dependency is or how to fix their dev environment and expect GPT to shlub it up, when in reality many of these old school software programmers were self learning nerds who were just trying to solve (a) problem, and spent hours doing so.

Not to mention the sense of pioneering something.

something you’re happy to spend 80+ hours a week on, especially when basic needs are taken care of.

Vs writing the same thing that already exists with a different front end, a bunch of times with different examples, because somebody who has more resources (not just more cash, but also time) decides visuals are more important than real functionality.

Part of the reason I don’t like ‘coding’ or developing software its because is so dreadful and feels overly stupid when an open source alternative works better than what you’d be able to make before the deadline.

I just rather be a CTO / SysAdmin and live happier.

Programmers of the past didn’t have to work 2 jobs to be able to buy a house and live comfortably, less alone spend most of their paycheck on inflated prices for gas, food, services, etc. But hey we got AI and Amazon Prime now.

THESE DAMN GLOBALISTS!!!

• Jake, lives in MN, everything he’s still paying for is imported.

Dude I tired DEX once, I saw I couldn’t rotate the monitor or even find some type of settings and I never tried it again.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Putin had the Trump videos on Epstein’s island. What a crazy love triangle.

Maybe if you didn’t keep your head inside your ass you’d feel a bit embarrassed of saying stupid shit online. The confidence you have to say stuff like that is truly perplexing.

Ohh no :(

Anyway…

Have y’all tried tater tots? My gf introduced me to them and I swear she makes the best ones!

as a part of userbase I don’t want to be on sale, thank you very much.

Yeah unfortunately, if you’re not paying to use it, you are the product. If you don’t wanna be part of the sale you gotta stop using it.

Also in a similar topic, but not quite about chrome, Firefox is still the most popular browser that doesn’t come preinstalled by default in any phone or mainstream device, that does not mean is free of issues but is sort of a lesser evil.

Ardamax Keylogger takes screenshots too, should they change the name?

And that’s why adult diapers with cutesy drawings are a thing.

And then de-Proton it.

Just like the Gulf of Mexico thing, a great way to own the libs.

That Ukraine that has only been a nation for 12 years or so? Wow I wonder how well the 140 years of imperialism develops soldiers and war techniques.

“Russian army underwhelmingly unprepared and weak according to Chinese POW” lol
