Each issue is reasonable by itself...

The problem of many hands - when responsibilities in a group that collectively does harm are divided between many people, who can be held accountable when each person individually acted reasonably?

I think organizations are, more and more, siloing roles in this way intentionally (or at least emergently), such that blame can only ever be collective if they do harm. Since it's so much harder to redress collective blame, this can be effective in avoiding consequence entirely.

I set up a server that limits bandwidth through it to max dialup speeds, with rate limit buckets per-IP: https://dialup.moveything.com/. It has some gifs, progressive jpegs that are fun to watch load, and a mirror of xkcd.

Some folk on YouTube played a game like this (Snake) in real life with the South Korean rail network. It's Jet Lag: The Game - a great show, most seasons are different games. I think the one where they played Snake is one of their more complex seasons - they also play Hide and Seek and Tag across continents, and games like that.

“This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.”

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

For YouTube, I've used it in Safari on iOS for a while with UnTrap for YouTube that lets you disable short[1]. On desktop, a uBlock origin filter works[2].

Sure - of course! Hope it can be helpful.

I replaced the keyboard MacBook Air M1 keyboard with a $20 model from Amazon and it's been going strong for a full year. I had spilled ginger ale on the original.

The board is riveted in, but there are enough screws to hold the replacement in place. Removing the board is a shockingly violent process, but it worked for me.

Keyboard: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQBVMM3X (price has gone up).

Video of rivets breaking: https://i.tonybox.net/9f2083b218d5.mp4 (you can see I missed a screw and slightly cut my hand here too).

The article linked in the first paragraph is almost more interesting to me[1]. Some of these places, like the subway, have air frequently circulated that can filter aerosols but leave CO2; this limitation makes me somewhat doubt its usefulness as a proxy for disease transmission risk.

Apart from disease transmission, since I've gotten a CO2 monitor in my apartment I've noticed that running the gas stove or oven for even a little while will make a huge spike in CO2.

I'm a fan of scissor switch keyboards, which I think makes me a bit odd - I got used to them from laptops and now I have an MX Keys Mini that I really like. I like the short travel and the tactile nature of them - I tried a slim mechanical (Nuphy Air75) but it still slowed me down considerably and was uncomfortable. I touch type but not home-row, so maybe my chaotic typing style doesn't work on heavier keys.

Can't even get 4K on most streaming services on macOS now... It's not just Linux anymore.

Netflix lets you in Safari[1]; Disney+ limits you to 1080p[2]; and Hulu limits you to 720p[3].

Neat, it's staggering that there hasn't been a good non-subscription option for a simple utility like this for iOS. I've used Termius for a while, but it pushes a subscription and AI features pretty hard.

I think this really needs the ability to generate SSH keys on the secure enclave, like Secretive[1] does on macOS.

I just made a variant of this that uses the browser speech recognition API. It's simplified, with none of the flair of the original, but should be fun to play in person. It's fun to shout animal names at computer with friends.

(works best on desktop chrome. it's too slow on safari in my testing.)

Hey, working at the DNALC was my first job when I was in high school. I made a port of their iOS 3D brain app for Android, based on pre-rendered images (which was the style at the time - 2009-ish). It looks like it has since been taken down, which makes sense - I targeted my G1 at the time for acceptable performance, and Android broke things as it moved on. I also helped out on some web apps at the time. Great experience.

I think your license has a typo that inverts the meaning:

This license does now allow for the fonts to be embedded in software apps or e-books.

Does each container network of the 256 really need its own /64? Is there some constraint that doesn't let them work on a /72?

Looks like openDesk uses Collabora Online, which is itself based on libreoffice online - web based libreoffice.

uv is fast enough that you can put things like this in your profile:

This is fun!

Mine got stuck in a cycle for a bit, but broke the cycle just after I stopped screen recording: https://i.moveything.com/c1d941787599.mp4

The PDF format supports this, at least Adobe Reader can validate a signed PDF if it's signed in a certain way[1]. I know DocuSign does this - and Reader even has a little button to view the signed version (embedded in the PDF, I think)[2]. [1]: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/desktop/e-sign-documents/man...

I've found taking two screenshots and adding them as separate layers works well, and then setting one as Difference, and then tweaking the opacity.

I think you can file a NOTAM for a weather balloon even if you don't need clearance. Might depend on the size and payload, though, like if it's closer to a party balloon than a real weather balloon, and how high it's going.

On iOS and on desktop, I use my ad blocker to block shorts[1]. On iOS, this means not using the YouTube app, so I just uninstalled it and use the mobile website, which seems fine.

Court filings have strict requirements around formatting. This isn't any different from trying to file in Comic Sans or a 48-pt font.

For example, the Northern District of California rules require a 12-point standard proportional-width font, with no more than 28 lines per page 8½ inch by 11 inch white paper with numbered lines. This is their way of requiring double-spacing and enforcing the page limits[1].

BUT - The rules don't say anything about requiring the paper to be portrait rather than landscape. 28 lines on a landscape page would allow for a lot more text.

Alas, I'm not daring enough to try it, as the intent of the rule is clear, and I'm sure no judge would take kindly to it.

Some courts have moved to word count limits, requiring a certification of word count at the end with a lawyer's signature.

When I look at that crystal radio kit, my fingers hurt. I had a kit like that as a kid in the 90s - not sure if it was a radio or more generic electronics - with the springs to hold wires together. At some point, made a short circuit and burned my fingers. Immediately upon seeing that, the memory comes back. I guess it's burned into my memory.

1. surely unconditionally rebooting locked iPhones every 3 days would cause issues in certain legit use cases?

I wonder if this explains why the older iPhone I keep mounted to my monitor to use as a webcam keeps refusing to be a webcam so often lately and needing me to unlock it with my password...

They never actually tore up most of these lines; the city just paved over them.

I spotted one of these in July in long island city by vernon blvd while they were repaving. You can see them embedded in the cobblestone. Here's some impromptu phone pictures: https://imgur.com/a/MLdjvxo

Where the ribbon fails most for me is when you narrow the window width and various options are made basically inaccessible.

It took a while, with emails going unanswered for long periods at times.

Thanks, I’ve uploaded some photos.
