A republic is a democracy.

This is spot on. They are ripe for getting entirely wiped out by AI, and good riddance tbh.

My personal gripe is their refusal to support restarting heading levels within sections, causing whole classes of problems with CMS templating.

Those have been there for a bit, what is more recent is CSS anchor positioning which lets you position the popover near the item that triggered it. It’s all finally very nice!

I don’t know what world you live in but it’s not this one.

Not saying I like the situation, but Firefox usage is about ~2-3%.

That's about where IE 6 and then IE 11 were when everyone was excited they could finally drop them. Why should anyone treat Firefox differently?

Hey thanks so much! I actually found your site a bit over a year ago while I was redoing my portfolio and used one for my header.

Omg thank you, I had no idea they added this feature!

Dildos aren’t illegal federally but you can’t sell those using Stripe either. It is actually about puritans wanting to control what you do.

"Quality" and "features you happen to want" are two different things.

Unfortunately not satire, and the answer is $500

It appears he is selling a service where he comes to you (optionally with a Mac Mini which is probably why he's buying multiple) and sets up OpenClaw for you.

Yes

I definitely pirated Photoshop around 1996 from the macfilez (possibly zelifcam by then) AOL chat room.

The new version has improved a bit since launch, you may want to give it another try.

I tried getting Nix working a couple of months ago and ditched it because changing some Tower settings updates the global gitconfig (as it should in this circumstance) and Nix would wipe them out.

All of it seemed way too annoying compared to just having a dotfiles repo, and if it couldn’t handle the Tower/gitconfig issue I know for sure everything else I was going to run into wasn’t worth it.

One big cause of this is the multi-channel audio track when all you have is stereo speakers. All of the dialog that should be going into the center speaker just fades away, when do you actually have a center the dialog usually isn't anywhere near as quiet.

Depending on what you're using there could be settings like stereo downmix or voice boost that can help. Or see if the media you're watching lets you pick a stereo track instead of 5.1

It "finally hit the top of the project list" two years ago so we'll see lol.

It's "T-Mobile Fiber Home Internet" which looks to be a bunch of local ISPs they've been snatching up, so we'll see what happens. USI's customer service and reliability have been amazing so hopefully that doesn't get screwed up.

Use a ULA (unique local address) for everything internal that you want shorter. It's just like rfc1918 addresses except you don't need NAT.

These types of complaints are how I know the objection to v6 is not serious.

There are a total of 8 groups of 4 hex digits, so 8 minus however many groups you already have.

google.com: 2607:f8b0:4009:819::200e (5 groups) -> 2607:f8b0:4009:0819:0000:0000:0000:200e (3 groups of added zeros)

a ULA address: fd2a:1::2 (3 groups) -> fd2a:0001:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0002 (5 added)

localhost: ::1 -> 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001

But IPv6 is "too hard"

":: is all zeros" is too hard??

My two IPv6 issues (even having had a HE tunnel in the past):

- My local ISP (US Internet, soon to be part of T-Mobile Fiber) hasn't enabled it, even though the CEO has said on Reddit for years that it's a priority. Now that they've been acquired who knows if it'll ever happen.

- Linode allows transferring v4 addresses between machines, so if I need to rebuild something I can do so without involving my client who usually has control over DNS. They do not support moving v6 addresses, which means that the only sites I have control over that support v6 are the ones that I control DNS.

Making IPv6 a thing seems like it would be super easy if a couple hours could be spent solving a bunch of dumb lazy problems.

What you’re looking for is described in the article as “bricks” (vs “waterfall”) and is also supported.

I've seen a couple of TikToks with someone doing live coding with this same tool and it was really cool to watch because they really knew it well, but like you said it was bog-standard house/techno.

What's condescending is telling a whole generation of people who are working two jobs and barely able to make rent to "save".

I'm older than you and now doing fine AND able to save/invest but after multiple once-in-a-lifetime events that reset all of my progress each time, the last thing I need to hear from some out-of-touch old person is bullshit avocado toast pull yourself up by your bootstraps comments.

I'm gonna have to hold your hand when I tell you this: when you tell the younger generation to "save" or "invest" they are going to walk away from that conversation knowing they were just speaking with one of the most mind-numbingly naive Olds they're going to encounter in probably the next several months.

Please, if you ever want any respect from anyone younger than you ever again in your entire life, do not say those words again.

If you’re running a well-behaved crawler (for example one that respects nofollow, and doesn’t try every single product filter combination it can find) then fine. If you don’t, then I don’t have any sympathy for the consequences that your niche of the industry caused.

Not everyone has the budget for unlimited bandwidth and compute, and in several of my clients’ cases that’s been >95% of all traffic.

People running these bots with AI/VC capital are just script kiddies that forgot that not every site is a boatload of app servers behind Cloudflare.

A client of mine had this exact problem with faceted search, and putting the site behind Fastly didn’t help since you can’t cache millions of combinations. And they don’t have the budget for more than one origin server. The solution was if you’ve got “bot” in your UA Fastly’s VCL returns a 403 with any facet query param. Problem solved. And it’s not going to break anything, all of the information is still accessible to all of the indexers on the actual product pages.

The facet links already had “nofollow” on them, now I’m just enforcing it.

There were already guidelines, these trash people aren’t following them. That’s why there’s now “sentiment” against them.
