So I assume you know that tangled being ATProto-based was the reason for going there?

And please explain how it's not a choice when they are still on GitHub.

I'd love to hear why they chose a VC funded forge over e.g. Codeberg.

Doesn't really fit the 'friendly language' claim IMO

GPT-5.6 13 days ago

Am I missing something or isn't sol/lunar 5.6 only out for like 3 hours? How did you evaluate?

I am pretty sure I read that Bees would be capable of taking care of mites themselves, but taking away their honey puts them in constant food stress, thus suppressing that behavior, and compresses the colony thus increasing mite density. Can't find a proper study right now though.

Organic Maps 17 days ago

I was using Street Complete for some time and was always wondering if using these apps is considered helpful or if it only creates churn/noise. Is there a general consensus on that in the community?

Would it be more accepted to just do a few small, potentially not metadata-complete edits myself or is the review structure (if there is any) geared more towards fewer, more steady contributors?

Did one direct edit once and iirc it took ages to land in the map and I wasn't able to grasp if came from new editors' edits being scrutinized more carefully by too few reviewers, from the nature of the edits (deleting a bunch of buildings after demolition and probably not replacing it with the right area type) or if the release cycle for new edits to be included is just way longer than I would have expected.

Then you should avoid and steer very clear of Tangled since it is VC funded

Yes, that's what I'm referring to. Could have made it clearer.

To me being VC funded is the opposite to "structurally resistant to the lock-in".

I'm not against VC funding everywhere, but I don't want it at the core of my development stack.

Shouldn't a CSS engine just ignore directives it doesn't know? At least it shouldn't fail without an error.

Turn signal stalk

While we're at it one thing to add: Keep your turn signal at an on-off pattern.

I don't wan't to have to parse your cute turn signal animation. It's a warning light and should be somewhat irritating/eye-catching.

Maybe I am missing something, but I haven't seen a solution to the noise problem of air traffic (especially anything rotor based).

Might not be an issue for long distance connection in sparsely populated countries like the United States, but I don't see it replacing trains in Europe until this is solved.

If you frame that issue as a purely technical one without ux/usability implications, where you'd absolutely want to have a (good) designer in the loop, your product is in trouble, too.

There is code I gift to the world that I license as MIT or similar and there is code I publish as a means for furthering what I perceive as a advanced society which I license as GPL or similar.

I don't ask anyone to share my ideals but conflating these two is dishonest.

The shifts between flags will correlate with date of birth though, or do you think someone turning 16 or 18 will wait a year or two to switch to more adult content for privacy? Also I'd guess the tech industry would push for more specific age buckets.

Games already have PG ratings and similar in different countries, I don't see the issue there. Web content could set a age appropriateness header and let browsers deal with it, either for specific content or for the whole website if it relies on e.g. addictive mechanics.

Applications is a wide field, but I'd be interested in specific examples where you think it wouldn't work.

You can do it by using a feed reader and subscribing to the channels rss feeds. Keeps you better isolated from dark patterns as well.

edit: has the added benefit that there are different feeds for All/Videos/Shorts/Live/Specific Playlists, so this is another way to avoid shorts
