  Welcome to AI powered google translate, I guess. 'Sprite' now is translated as 'спрайtas'. Yes, spelled in cyrillic. And it reads 'spraitas', which is what lithuanian would say when not knowing translation. I have no words.

  WTF of the day: when setting up Claude it launches Safari for logging in. Safari, not the default web browser.

  Oh, nice, Google has taught everyone to never delete emails. Now they begin to slowly make the storage paid. https://www.androidauthority.com/google-free-15gb-gmail-storage-ending-explanation-3667360/

  Maybe I'm to used to C/C++ way of doing things. I find weird that in Swift you just write code like script in case it is a one file program, but if it's more than one file, then your files must not have statements at top level except one dedicated main.swift file. I prefer explicit main function instead. #programming #SwiftLang

  Google changed icon for keep. Not yet on my phone, but at least the facicon on web. Finally someone noticed the Keep and Slides have very similar icons? Anyway, an improvement.

  Abour 15 years ago a colleague unsuccessfully tried to run some fun program he downloaded. Then I made a joke: "random exe file from the internet - run". Now it's official instruction how to install claude on mac. #programming #security

  A lovely thing about modern technology: I could put my daughter to sleep yesterday and then watch UEFA Champions League final pretending I watch it live! A downside was that it was well past minight when in ended, but the match was worth it!

  Looks like I've just fixed a bug that is around two decades old and has survived app rewrite in different language. Good way to end Sunday. Links don't open in Gnote if one has disabled auto-linking, in case anyone wonders. #programming #GNOME

  Never before have I though of this. In C/C++ signature for main is: int main(int argc, char **argv); (yeah, there is also env version). Note that argv is pointer to pointer where neither pointer is const. You can modify the thing! Tried using clang on Mac, modifying argv[0] or argv[0][0] works. #programming #Cpp

  Google delivers. Messages app on my phone gives me menu item "Šiukšliadėžė", which translates to English as "Trash". Noun. Should understand as "delete" myself, I guess. Tapping it gives a dialog titled "Perkelti %d pokalbį į šiukšliadėžę". Yes, it litterally contains %d in it. #programming #android

  How to annoy scrupulous people: - put parentheses after some title saying that further in the text an acronym will be used instead) - do not use acronym later in the text

  @jwildeboer @scheichsbeutel hopefully similat to Lithuania, where those fast ones are small. But Hungary has a mixed system, similar to hours where part of the parlament is elected by voting for parties, other part for individuals, so it's hard to predict by votes for parties alone.

  Imagine a future where AI fails to take most of the jobs, but this happens after the "rescue" of universal basic income is implemented. Have a good friday!

  A shoxkingly bad experience of using google maps. @CoMaps is what I typically use, but I had to go to recently moved company in a naturally difficul area. Edited OpenStreetMap to be up to date now. Anyway, shocking because it used to be decent. Now it guided my car like a pedestrian or bike, dunno. Next atempt defaulted to car, so I assume previous was as well. Just terrible.

  Trump says Iran war could end in 'two weeks, maybe three' wasn't it supposed to be four, maybe less week operation? Rubio says US can see 'finish line' on Iran war. Mr. oversized shoes, you do know that long distance runs typically have interim lines? I really really hope my pessimism on the matter is wrong and it all end soon. #IranWar

  Upgrade OSX. Now save dialog no longer scrolls to the right, so whenever saving I only see top levels I don't care about and don't see the actual pre-selected destination folder. Thanks, I guess... #software #rant #macOS

  UN will vote on using force to open the Strait of Homuz. Now the biggest question is will it be vetoed? And if so, by whom?
