The "share" button is massively overloaded on iOS and has been for ages. It does a bunch of stuff that isn't really related to sharing in any reasonable sense of the word. It's really IMO one of the worst UI elements in

I'm always curious - what do you use that machine for? I'm imagining most of the modern web is unusable.

Interesting, TIL, and thank you. I stand corrected (a quick read of https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block would have set me straight).

It's more than that - this particular address is the coinbase output of the genesis block (block 0) and it's literally unspendable. edit: I'm wrong, see https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block

"Wallet" is kind of the wrong term to use. The address is associated with the genesis block (block 0) and is unspendable per the consensus rules. (edit: I'm wrong on that last point, see https://en.bitcoin.it/

It's a cool historic artifact, but I'd argue a browser without JS support these days is like a text editor without syntax highlighting.

I'm in the realm of pure speculation here, but does ASDE-X to some extent rely on a/c having mode B transponders, which I've seen people saying the coastguard Dash-8s didn't have? If this is the textbook runway incursion

Oh how neat, the Messenger feature uses nostr ( https://nostr.com ) DMs!

I go between different switches but the Kailh Box series is a really solid choice and they make some great tactile switches that are IMO much nicer than MX Browns.

With FreeBSD userland tools, no less.

Call it Stockholm syndrome but IMO modern MacBooks have some of the nicest laptop keyboards around. And I'm the kind of guy who uses a custom mechanical keyboard at his desk and turns his nose up at Cherry MX switches.

I have an X220 that I put an IPS panel into. It's definitely nicer than TN but once you've used a modern laptop with a 4K screen (with HiDPI scaling), anything less looks really dated.

I have an X220 (and a bunch of other Thinkpads) and they're nice hardware but come on, let's not go overboard. Those CPUs kinda suck now. Slow performance and they run hot. I also think people overstate the "build quality&quo

Well, they run a *nix out of the box :)

No, it’s not. Software development is software development. Political advocacy is political advocacy.

Everything coming out of them recently, including the mailshots I see and even the onboarding copy, seems to indicate they see themselves as a political advocacy org first and a browser developer second.

Logseq is nice but to call it an Obsidian alternative is a stretch to the point that I'd call it straight up incorrect.

I didn't "say" anything, I asked a question. And it absolutely does matter, at least for the time being.

Everything about this, from methodology to writing style, screams crackpot to me.

Kids wouldn't even exist if it weren't for their parents being able to make their own choices. Plus, by your logic, nobody living in cities should have kids at all.

You joke, but there absolutely are procedures in some airplane QRMs that involve cycling breakers.

The "millions" of people (doubt) who depend on Xorg are free to keep using it. That's the beauty of open systems, isn't it?

What would the desired outcome of a potentially costly and time-consuming lawsuit even be? For them to go "oh OK then, we'll hire you"? Would you even want to work for them after this episode?
