I wonder where the full video is...I couldn't find it

Yeah... but that didn't happen in my case

I even have a playdate...but didn't even consider this. Thanks!

I use typescript and python mostly but I'm open to anything

Thanks, GameMaker looks awesome and it wasn't even on my radar. I'll try that one!

She can't code yet but she's eager to learn. She knows maths and geoemtry. I also started learning programming that age by doing a game in qbasic.

Ah I can resonate with your feelings! I've been using a MacBook Pro as my daily driver since 2013 and I initially liked it a lot, but things have not improved over time. MacOS got more buggy, bloated and less and less customisable. I never fully got used to the way window switching works, and to the fact that I always see all the apps from all work spaces. I still regularly switch to the wrong work space when I switch apps. So confusing. So now I'm in a process of switching back to Linux - it's just so much more fun! I have an M1 MacBook Pro now and Asahi linux is really nice on this one.

I do like the energy consumption of MacOS and that sleep just works so well. Also the laptops feel really nice. I got a few things to make life easier (sketchybar, rectangle.app, see other posts here) but overall these days Linux is just a more polished experience. Never thought I'd say that. At least it's the least glitchy experience nowadays.

Neat! I would love to also be able to give desktops names

Thanks for explaining this! I saw this happened to some of my We sites and I couldn't wrap my head around why someone would do this...

ok fair point

Isn't this like any other hyperlink?

I just installed Asahi on my MacBook Pro M1 - it's really nice! Battery life is supposed to be slightly worse. External displays are now supposed to work as well, but I haven't tried it.

That's not actually true - they're just working on upstreaming all of the code into the Linux kernel. Development is still going strong and M3 will be added soon after upstream work has been done, as it's expected to be trivial. M4 has the added challenge of another security layer, if I understood it correctly, but once that's solved, the rest of the architecture hasn't changed much. Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OAiOfCcYFM&pp=ygULYXNhaGkgb... for details.

Came here to say the same. Founding a company in Germany is way to complicated and expensive... same for dismantling a company. I don't understand why you need a notary for everything.

https://www.stratha.us - my site

https://www.pleeboo.com/ is a who-brings-what kind of tool for organising poltucks, school events or any kind of gathering where tasks need to be distributed

Yeah sure wordpress.com or geocities are not self hosted - but you had much more control over your content. People would just link to other blogs they like or comment on their guestbook / comment page. People would host php-forums. In each friends circle (school or hobby groups) there was always at least one kid who would be tech enough to host some php app on a shared hosting, and people would actually use it. But just self-hosting was not really my point, it was the degree of control that used to be common. I'd argue even myspace was much better than what we have today.

Thank you for pointing that out! I think that's the rumor I heard...

From my experience, it used to be quite normal for a lot of my non-technical peers to have a personal webpage on the internet with frontpage express, wordpress or geocities. Nowadays, even a lot of businesses don't have a website, but instead an Instagram or Facebook entry. YMMV

The internet is still decentralized today.

There's a German black-and-white comedy "Die Feuerzangenbowle" from 1944 and most of the actors knew this was going to be their last film. They were drafted into the war right after filming wrapped up and all of them died, apart from the main star.

Not sure it's relevant at all, but a therapist who's working with kids in a large clinic in Berlin told me that anorexia cases in kids have doubled since COVID. He said they don't have the infrastructure to treat all those kids. It's pretty dramatic. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of those cases were really caused by long COVID.

ello.co - what a fun and pretty social media website that was.

Yeah I was also considering that...but the most recent iOS app that I worked on was actually featured by Apple a few times, so it seemed they really liked it.

I ended up creating a new account, and got verified there, but only after a few tries and calls to support. Turns out that their AI couldn't read my European (German) ID card and some human actual had to look at it and verify me manually.

Thank you! I keep stumbling upon interesting historical footage on Youtube, only to find that it's been ruined by janky AI. I do think there's a place for AI and video restauration, but colors and 4k, with soundscape, really?

This looks really nice! I loved trello and I'm always happy to see alternatives. My two cents: I use the keyboard a lot, so when I hit "enter" on a form, e.g. to create a board, it closes the popup instead of creating that board.

I'm working on a free meetup platform: https://github.com/strathausen/laundryroom.social

because I got frustrated with meetup.com

I really appreciate that the double-click on the icon button in the title bar of each window closes it. Such a nice detail! I got used to this once on windows 3.11 and Windows kept behaving like that through the versions, even though there's a dedicated close button on the right. I think the most recent versions of windows don't have this behavior anymore.

I'm a bit confused...if web hosting shuts down, what stays? Doesn't this mean glitch just shuts down altogether?

Thanks, I had no idea, I'll check it out! We're still in the process of completing the paperwork, so it'll take a while until we have an official status.

The stack is nodejs and postgres - the most expensive part is the database actually. I could probably look into caching more of the expensive (mostly read-only) queries.

I'm one of the two developers who will help out with development and devops. There's some budget for that. So we have the skills.
