maybe 1/2 of the people in my bsky feeds use non bsky pds'es & clients?

It is just arch with some guy's dotfiles - and they're not even that good

What the hell has happened to HN? Am I speaking with some Russian bot farm trying to breed political radicalization?

Sadly not - check sentiment on X around these topics, heritage foundation etc are pushing all these topics right now

FYI - shewon is entirely self reported and does no verification. It includes events such as local town fair bean bag throwing competitions.

It also classifies a trans person winning anything as ~3 losses since "a non-trans person may have shifted the entire bracket" moving 2nd -> 1st, 3rd -> 2nd etc... The entire site is hypebole and should not be used as a serious reference lol.

This is Mahjong Solitaire - It's completely different to actual Mahjong. It's a completely different game that uses Mahjong tiles.

This is just what I did, and plan to continue to do.

This budget included a full modernization of their infrastructure as well as the website redesign. It's still heaps of money - but the media saying "a website cost $96 million AUD" is misleading.

Someones linked in this thread the Defunctland video essay on these characters that I highly recommend watching since it goes into this in detail.

But the main reason is, there's a lot of brand imagery on the line with these interactions, someone putting on a voice, or using a voice changer could make a mistake. Disney instead have a conversation tree with pre-recorded voice lines that a remote operator can control. Much harder to mess up

It's crazy to read this because I came from a Samsung TV/Display - LG Software is so much better than that!

Really wish we'd get dumb displays with these great panels :(

I don't know why I ever bother scrolling down when opening a twitter thread... Some of those comments are crazy to read.

Personally I think while wikipedia does rake in an extremely large amount of money via donations, they provide an amazing platform and haven't felt the need to make it shitty with new features - or "keep up with market trends". I'm happy for it to stay this way.

Supermaven still is the smartest & best tab autocomplete I've ever used. And it's a shame there is ZERO competitors who come close to how "smart" it felt with it's suggestions. All other tab autocomplete AI's feel annoying and almost always get in my way.

I stopped using Supermaven a while back when their JetBrains plugins broke and the only fix was a manual edit to a java file every time the IDE updated :(

I use Thunderbird as my main Matrix client since it's already always open on my PC and is Lightweight. Whenever I open Element or any other client (Nheko, etc.) they all complain about each-other being unverified.

Clicking verify in any client does nothing. No popups in any other clients - doesn't ever seem to do anything. Sometimes Element will pop up a QR reader but there's no QR presented in the other clients. The UX around Matrix is a nightmare.

Australia shut down its entire 3G network, which a lot of devices used for emergency calls. A lot of phones worked with 4G still but did not support using 4G for emergency calls.

The telco's solution was to sell new phones to people, which a lot of people didn't do. Apparently all of these phones that still worked were flagged and blocked from using 4G but this apparently wasn't the case.

I run heaps of services on AWS and my bill is ~$2-3 - I'm not running any EC2 instances at all. Some of the offerings these cloud providers offer are extremely affordable if you know how to play your cards right and use the right services.

I'm always happy to hear this from people. I get maybe an email a month specifically about this post haha

My Samsung 4k 240hz OLED monitor has an absolutely gorgeous panel but if I knew I'd need to connect it to the internet and run a PYTHON script to disable some of its "features"[1] I probably would have gotten a similar LG display instead.

I'd love to colocate some hardware but all the options near me (Sydney, Australia) are insanely expensive for no reason, how do you go about finding affordable rackspace?

It's crazy that Visa, Mastercard & other payment processors were debanking actual creators and artists for adult content recently and now OpenAI is doing this.

I’ve been eying for the bubblegum framework 12 for a bit now and almost pulled the trigger. Frameworks political stance of “hardware should be maintainable and replaceable” really resonated with me and I was excited to support them with my money.

This is not it though - “Big Tent” means nothing when you’re supporting people who directly call for “Britain to be white again” and use slurs against minorities. It creates a gross space where people (like someone earlier in that thread) feel empowered to outright call for my existence to be invalidated.

This literally happened a few days ago on RetroAcheivements & they handled it well. I really hope framework come out with a response to all this.

I was just thinking about this for F1 - someone mentioned plaintextsports but it doesn't seem like F1 is there.

Already thinking about the ways you could represent a race with a text[^1], could be a very interesting project but not sure if there's any APIs.

Someone linked an article above that is worth a read - He's said some pretty horrific stuff about minority groups & is echoing discredited sentiment on immigrants and other minorities. It's worth a read.

LAN mode still works on my A1 & I can access it from Orca Slicer just fine.

Packages can still be updated, even if pinned. If a dependency of a dependency is not pinned - it can still be updated.

I've seen it quite a bit on BlueSky with some devs I follow. It's a social git host built on-top of ATProto (The underlying tech of BlueSky): https://blog.tangled.sh/intro

Whenever I go for a run in the afternoon there's always a big group of teens down fishing at the river with a bunch of lime bikes next too them. Glad it's made it easier for them to all meet up and hang out outdoors.

It's funny when they wrap up though and you watch all of them kickstart the bikes. Riding off down the trail as they beep and click. Haha.

This law was popular with the Liberal & Greens parties sadly - was likely regardless of who won the election.

Some washing machines (mine at least) have some "smart" features that adjust the wash time depending on some factors. Nothing more annoying than coming to the laundry after my phone alarm goes off, and seeing the timer on my washing machine go UP(!!!) from 0:01 to 0:02 ...

I had a frequent 1:30-hour train commute every couple of days to my previous role, and during that time, I learned how horrific our product was to use on a spotty connection.

Made me think more about poor & unstable connections when building out new features or updating existing things in the product. Easily parsable loading states, better user-facing alerts about requests timing out, moving calculations/compute client-side where it made sense, etc.

I was using an AMD 5700xt at the time with Mesa drivers
