I somehow was able to upgrade MidiEditor to work with QT6.
Unfortunately, most of the work was made by an AI. Which is what I feel it's good of: making "random changes until it compiles" works well if you can automate the process!

Update to QT6 by mauricioszabo · Pull Request #1 · mauricioszabo/midieditor
Not going to lie: I kind of vibe-coded the whole migration to QT6.
The good news is that it works - kinda. It segfaults seconds after it loads the UI.
The bad news is that I don't know how to f...

I'm so surprised how Google apps became so unfriendly...
Take Android auto, for example. Amazing app... except that maps' search isn't synchronized between my android and my car. I can't also "disconnect", and can't say "don't auto-connect". It's such insanity to have an app that I can't QUIT.

Just saw an amazing quote:
As software ate the world, we lost the protections from the real world.
Amazing how much this rings true. And sad because, as a software development, I keep thinking if I'm not part of the problem, instead of the solution.

How Google can be SO INCOMPETENT in some cases?
I just got some "security warning, your password was seen on public sites!" on my Google Account. So I got the details...
... and it's all private IPs, 192.168.<something>, and more than half of them are "localhost:<some-port>"

Sometimes I feel like an alien.
I see job offers, and they all say something like "we have AI in our DNA" or some other shit like this...
... and I immediately don't want the job. I don't even want to know the salary. Like, close the offer, ignore the company.
Why is this sold as an "advantage"?

I find quite amusing that USA by its own definition of "terrorist state" is now one, bombing innocents in international waters to literally terrorize governments
I also find quite convenient that USA's definition of terrorism state excludes USA from the definition
I would laugh, if it wasn't scary

Silksong is SO POLISHED!
There are so many cool easter eggs, small details, jokes, secrets, things to explore...
Even Hornet's personality is amazing - strong, determined, firm, kind, responsible, respectful, but also bold and proud.
I REALLY didn't expect the game to be this good!

I was prepared for Silksong to never happen.
I was prepared for it to be under-released, not living up to the hype.
I was even prepared for it but be kind of like a "Hollow Knight mod", with the same movements, just a re-skin of the game.
I was honestly not prepared for it to be THIS GOOD!

I reported more than 18 people to Instagram related to hate speech, since they changed their policies.
Not a SINGLE ONE of them was considered "hate".
Why have any moderation team at all, at this point?

Ender Lilies appeared to be a great game in the beginning.
Unfortunately, it's frustrating, and not in the good way. First, it seems that "contact damage" was an afterthought-it doesn't really fit.
Second, it tries TOO HARD to be linear. The map opens, but then you hit dead ends all the time.

I wish I could like Beyond All Reason (an open-source RTS game). It's polished, it's beautiful, it works, have a strong AI, very interesting ideas, etc.
It's also HIGHLY complex. 5 different "kinds" of units, 4 "tech-2" level units, one "tech-3". Impossible to have all these in a single game.

I still can't believe that we don't have some kind of documentation tool where searches simply work, and that uses LLMs to discover if you're documenting something that already exists, reads source and automatically adds documentation, and semantically searches what exists to summarize a result...

So, Mortal Kombat will have a new film. It's weirdly named "Mortal Kombat II", despite being the 4th. The third had the same name as the first, "Mortal Kombat".
If you can't even give a meaningful name to your movie, maybe... stop doing it? It's not like ANY of the movies were remarkable, right?

LLM and Python are really a perfect match, like no other.
When you try to run a Python project, it never works first try, seems like nothing is deterministic. It might work now, but it won't work tomorrow, depending on a lot of variables
Exactly the same as LLMs.

There's something deeply cursed in Node.JS + Electron.
If you do the wrong combinations of libraries, things fail to install or compile. EVEN IF you don't bump the actual thing that's failing, but for some reason, bumping something completely unrelated crashes.
And, no, it's not transitive deps.

I really can't understand how Google can rot everything it touches.
Google Slides is now full of weird bugs. You select to animate something, but sometimes it changes the animation's duration to be 0s. Meaning there's NO animation.
Also, why isn't there an option to change the default animation?
