- Well, I can't check if it is still a thing today, but Element's managed servers used to allow you to do that, at least for the web app (though I had the idea they also did that for the old mobile apps?)
Here's a couple of links:

- Perhaps fingerprint.com has stepped up their detection game and have new heuristics to identify you, thwarting the resistFingerprinting measures.
My experience lately has been that fingerprint.com is able to identify my main profile "in bursts", i.e. it will identify me consistently for some days, then it will forget and tell me it's never seen me. Maybe the service they provide on the landing page has a TTL policy? Either way, I've observed this behaviour on both my main profile and my "Firefox Focus"-like profile (a mix of no history + automatic temporary containers). On Mullvad Browser, however, it always seems to group me with random access across the globe.
- It seems it was pushed to 18/11. Here follows the notice posted on Discord:
> Hey @everyone, apologies for the Blender 5.0 false alarm earlier today. The announcement was scheduled to go out this morning, and I even double-checked the official release date last night before bed to confirm everything was still on track. Unfortunately, an unexpected delay pushed the launch back at the last minute. Blender 5.0 will now officially release on November 18. Thank you all for the enthusiasm and understanding, your support means a lot, and the wait is almost over.
- To be released tomorrow.
- +1 for ijson. I wrote some pretty fast and lightweight parsers a while back, using ijson's basic stream. Never heard of jiter, thanks for the posts!
- This is a joke, right? The landing page makes it seem so.
I tried the captcha in their login page and it made the entire page, including the puzzle piece slider, run at 2 fps.
My god, we do really live in 2025.
- +1 for go-away. It's a bit more involved to configure, but worth the effort imo. It can be considerably more transparent to the user, triggering the nuclear PoW check less often, while being just as effective, in my experience.
- I run a service under the protection of go-away[0], which is similar to Anubis, and can attest it works very well, still. Went from constant outages due to ridiculous volumes of requests to good load times for real users and no bad crawlers coming through.
- Oh man, I'm still using my 4a and am quite afraid of what I'll do once it goes caput. There's essentially no real replacement. The S23/24 are kinda okay, but the custom ROM support is meh. Pixels are unbeatable in that regard... It's a shame
- I've been interested in dictation for a while, but I don't want to be sending any audio to a remote API, it all has to be local. Having tried just a couple of models (namely the one used by the FUTO Keyboard), I'm kinda feeling like we're not quite there yet.
My biggest gripe perhaps is not being able to get decent content out of a thought stream; the models can't properly filter out the pauses, "uuuuhmms", and much less so handle on the fly corrections to what I've been saying, like going back and repeating something with a slight variation and whatnot.
This is a challenging problem I'd love to see being tackled well by open models I can run on my computer or phone. Are there new models more capable of this? Is it not just a model thing, and I missing a good app too?
In the meanwhile, I'll keep typing, even though it can be quite a bit less convenient to do; especially true for note taking on the go.
- Was thinking the same. Might be worth looking into renaming the project, to prevent situations like that for both maintainers and users.
- As it is, and without the toolbar, this really reminds me of how this[0] neovim plugin renders Markdown in the terminal. One of its nice features is doing syntax highlighting inside fenced code blocks (through tree-sitter I believe).

- > only downside is the trimming is done at runtime but that could easily be fixed without changing the language.
trimMargin and trimIndent (as well as other operations like concatenation) actually get handled at compile time if the string isn't interpolated.
- Unfortunately, i.reddit.com is no longer available :(
Fortunately, Redlib exists: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib
- I agree, I always use Discord web over the Electron app. Beyond what you said, using it in the browser also has better backward/forward behaviour and it's easier to handle media and links. Also, being inspectable is quite nice.
- Nope. Games can do that to provide richer information, but Discord Desktop does scan your process list and even let's you chose which software to show or add a custom new one from the process list.
- Can't speak about Ktor in particular, but most DSLs I've used are essentially just syntax sugar for the builder pattern, stream-like APIs and so on. I don't think it's bad per se, you just have to think a bit differently when you're inspecting code.
But again, could be wrong about Ktor specifically.
- I don't think I know a single person that doesn't have MBWAY, but I'm younger than 30, so that might have something to do with it.
Even then, everywhere you go, unless they're really small or old places that still don't accept anything other than cash, you can pay with MBWAY, through a QR code or NFC. All POS terminals support that nowadays. You can even add an email address and VAT number and newer terminals automatically skip printing the customer receipt, send it to your email and give the VAT number to the merchant (not entirely sure how that last one works, but it's there).
The DSL was pleasant but still had some rough edges. I think they made some nice QoL improvements in the latest releases, but I've not kept up with it. The compile times were quite something, though you can use the previewer tool to prototype faster.
Definitely worth giving Slint a shot, they learnt a lot from QML imo
