imo was one of the last multi-messengers, where one could stay connected with almost everyone regardless what they used. It was a good time. It was a sad day, when I realized that they will pivot to their own solution, but I guess it was be

Just my 2 cents: I run a tuxedo laptop, that is just a branded clevo device. It isn't as greatly build as a Mac, because nothing is. But my tuxedo works well, nothing broke, or needed any repair. Can recommend. Branded clevo pcs in Ger

I would use this to determine how likely a given email address will receive my mail. I build websites, where people create accounts and an awful lot of them provide unroutable email addresses. This is annoying for me and for the users. If I

I tested my main email account, and it found the wrong country, and in that country the wrong person (wrong name). Then I tested the email address of my boss, where it found a few fields of the company (address and business type), but not t

From the article: As front-end developers, staying ahead of JavaScript’s evolution isn’t optional — it’s survival. When the ES2025 proposals dropped, many developers (myself included) were shocked. Isn't this hyperbole par ex

It is not the same. It needs some searching, reading and comprehension to cite Google etc. Copying a LLM output "costs" almost no energy.

Yes, all of this is true. But it is also true that the poisoned discourse makes things look much worse than they really are. To reframe it: changing these bad situations is easier than it seems. It’s not easy, but many people feel as if cha

Well, do you? Where does the cynicism against the political situation come from? I think europes reality is much better, than the poisoned discourse makes us believe.

Nothing that involves time and/or money is easy to implement. Not (only) because the code would be hard to write, but because what is at stake. Also, letting money flow back to the customer can lead easily to money laundering/lega

"Orange Website commenters" got me, I laughed, thank you! The content, the design and the license are a nice blast from the past. Weird, cringy and highly relatable. I like the forklift certified license!

Taroof reminds me of "askers vs. guessers," which was a revelation to learn about at the time. I'm very firmly in the asker group, and dealing with guessers is painful for me. Taroof sounds like "guessers on steroids&quo

I don't get it. How is buying a "top-quality professional electric knife sharpener" more ecological than buying a knife with a bit of electronics in the handle? Both are used by one person in your proposal and I would think,
