  1. But is it really hacking if they just give you the key?

    Am i breaking into your home when you leave the door wide open? /s

  2. Did not expect that: I got rid of a small screen i can carry around by putting a lot of small screen all over my house.

    I put that in the same bin as all the “Stop doomscrolling” apps. You can’t prevent doomscrolling by adding another app on your phone. Get rid of the phone (and all other screens), one does not need to be able to look up everything in a moments notice. Write it down on a paper and do it later.

  3. As soon as i read the author used grok as an ai assistant, i was somehow less interested to keep on reading. Not because of the usage of ai, but the chosen provider. (I don’t know whether grok is just the best choice for this kind of work.)

    Is it wrong to judge people for their choice of ai providers?

  4. At least the Hindenburg was iceberg proof

  5. Rebble sounds pretty much like a non profit to me

    > The Rebble Foundation is a non-profit organization that keeps the Pebble community alive. rebble.io

  6. Clicked on the link because I don’t know what a “BEAM” is, was not disappointed
  7. For what it’s worth, i didn’t know about this and in the last 7 years my eyesight didn’t get any worse. I have -1/-1.5

    And i work 8 hours in front of a computer

  8. They couldn’t be more different. One is doing it in secrecy and for a “reason”, to spy on someone. The other one will do it in public because he can and doesn’t like your name.
  9. > You shouldn’t, though! Seriously, just don’t fuck with focus order.

    And here i am, wishing some would do just this. Especially creators of log in forms which make the “reveal password” button the next focus point instead of the “submit” button

  10. Of course it is. You just have to reimplement UIKit in ASM, no big deal…
  11. It’s so sad. Smart devices were meant to make life easier. Now all they do is to be another platform for ads.

    AI is going the same way.

    In the end it’s always going to be ads. Is just sad.

  12. Only two examples and you are already contradicting yourself. One service should keep running and the other should turn off in the event of loosing the connection to the “outside world”.

    What we need is a “in the event of X - keep doing Y”.

  13. > Join the official Facebook group […]

    Of all the things, why Facebook?

  14. Way too much spacing between comments.
  15. Why does you landing page download 25MB of pictures?!

    92 requests 22.6 MB transferred 25.2 MB resources Finish: 9.54 s DOMContentLoaded: 290 ms Load: 9.50 s

  16. There is a difference though between “it will not work no matter what” with self hosting and “there is chance it will not work” with a hosted solution.
  17. I’m surprised free users don’t have to watch an ad spot every five messages (yet?)
  18. It is surprisingly playable, i got up to 1500
  19. I don’t even need tension in movies, more than that i even hate made up (illogical) tension just for the movie to happen in the first place.
  20. That’s why I’m currently driving the astrojs lane. It feels like PHP but it’s JavaScript.
  21. It was discovered pretty quickly, i don’t think most “big” projects update their packages within minutes of publication.
  22. “within hours” is at least one hour too late, and most likely multiple hours.
  23. To quote zefrank: The tallest giraffe is taller than all other giraffes
  24. Does it really? At the end of the day i need it to do my job. Ideal values don’t help me doing my job. So i choose the editor best suited and the features i need. And that’s not zed at the moment.
  25. Unfortunately the tech community is full of people who pride themselves on speaking for everyone and telling everyone to stop having fun with new tech because their solution is the best. And the one only truth.
  26. Don't agree with "Business logic and HTTP status codes" tbh, because now i have to work with apis that do this:

    Statuscode: 200 { success: false, error: "..." }

  27. Yes, I’m used to this too. But lately on my 13 mini, there is a slight delay between the keyboard showing and it registering key presses. I would say it misses the first key press 60% of the time when the keyboard pops up…

    It’s very annoying

  28. Another proof that AI is not smart, it’s just really good at guessing.
  29. It’s not necessarily about what they doing, more like how they do things. They could at least tell me about it, like: Hey, we check whether you joined a meeting to provide you with our note taking assistant. Are you okay with that?

    Don’t assume consent.

  30. More likely a wild guess. The number is also probably higher...
