  • I would assume that the real alternative would be a right-wing -still bigoted- party that recognizes that Trump is retarded, recognizes that Russia is problematic & alongside all that they can still do the borderline fascist migrant policy & all that jazz. It’s really not that hard, alas they are really a Russian asset, they don’t really have people that actually believe all this crap. Perhaps we are lucky that they are, otherwise they could really sweep the elections like no one else has done in recent years.


  • Building an app in python reliant on pyqt is simplicity itself, vibecoding or not. If you have a Linux phone you can run these simple boiler plate apps. For Android you need a build chain & everything is just more complicated, including testing. (as far as I understand it anyway)

    Suddenly it occurred to me that perhaps my LineageOS phone needs some sort of a Linux runetime, Vm whatever to run my weather app…










  • I strongly disagree. I know this is the Internet consensus nowadays, but I have seen malware beating Defender multiple times. The last two times it was not zero day malware, but rather Defender failed due to architectural reasons. (not robust, reliable enough definition update mechanism & scanning stalled so the -relatively ancient- virus just disabled defender before it could’ve protected you) The last time happened a little over a year ago, so it’s not ancient history.

    Sure, if you have a fresh WIndows install & Defender correctly updated its database, then it might benchmark very well. Detection itself will only stall under very specific circumstances that are not uncommon, but will not occur on a typical test rig.

    I have never seen such problems with Eset & Bitdefender. Even Kasparesky is doing a better job at pretending to be not spyware but an actual security suite than Defender.
