Who thought it was a good idea to add comments to YouTube Music

Swear to fucking God I'm about to give up on the privacy dream as a whole

@nyanide@lab.nyanide.com I don't think I like this post

The problem with rebranding Twitter is whichever new name you'll give it will always be "Formerly Twitter"

Federated Bitwarden instances would be a great insecure idea

Wait

Now this just sounds wrong

oops I unlocked dark aichan.exe

@nyanide@lab.nyanide.com The "SHA 2 Update" is an actual official update that needs to be downloaded before being able to access the service... for Windows 7. I don't think Vista has it, afaik the last TLS it supports is 1.1, so MAYBE that's what that patch script is doing?

@nyanide@lab.nyanide.com That's a very valid question, actually. I see a few other posts/forums mentioning it online, but I don't actually know.
I recall the script also offering to modify WU to fetch Server 2008 patches as well.

@nyanide@lab.nyanide.com I didn't have ANY Vista/7 computers in 2021 or 2022, definitely didn't do that. I remember this was the guide I used, and it worked pretty reliably: https://adventuresinnostalgia.blogspot.com/2022/08/fixing-windows-update-for-windows-vista.html
It could also be that I had my CMOS battery die and so the computer thought it was in December 1980. I dunno. Could be a whole mess of things.

@nyanide@lab.nyanide.com I was able to fully update a system after some prerequisites just a year ago. Odd...

What the fuck since when did Microsoft shut off the Windows Update servers for Vista? I remember it was more than possible to get fully up to date after installing a few updates manually...

dear fucking lord HL2 has Workshop support now.
so it's time to make shit as bad as L4D2.

Tried migrating my old old Mastodon account here, didn't seem to work.

I guess my problem with C++ isn't the language or its syntax as much as the automation or productivity of it.
CLion is as simple and automated as it gets, Visual Studio is much the same but crashes when you look at it funny. Other IDEs, you either have to take extraneous steps to make it (kinda) work, or it just doesn't work and the IDE best works with higher level languages.

CLion: Heavy, but powerful.
Visual Studio: Why the fuck would you use that
Lite XL: More of a (really decent) text editor, its IDE plugin is pretty undocumented and janky, I've not had it work unfortunately. Also doesn't like CMake.
AstroNvim: Pretty light, pretty odd, pretty fucking decent, if you get used to running :CMakeBuild and :CMakeDebug.
VSCode: Some assembly required, otherwise powerful experience.
VSCodium: Doable, some more assembly required and probably a less complete experience as a result, but by no means unusable.
Panic Nova: I haven't been able to get its debugger to work. Otherwise it'd have been a perfect IDE for macOS.

There's probably five billion other IDEs that I should check out, but for now I'll stick to CLion primarily, and AstroNvim/VSCodium otherwise.

WHY THE FUCK IS KDE SPELL CHECKING SO FUCKING STUPID

FUCKING
