   Slashdot has this, where you have friends/enemies, and friends/enemies-of-friends. I heavily used it, but interestingly have never made an enemy of enemies-of-friends.

   I seriously do not like people saying "it's on AliExpress". I'm sure it is, but the problem is quality control so a specific link is greatly helpful.

   FYI, I had to walk through the first dozen or so steps of the signup form to figure out that it's available in the US only. I suspected as much, but I figured I'd post it here, since it's not in their FAQ.

   No you’re correct but I’ve experienced a bug with older Workspace business accounts where you can’t reach the screen for user instructions. It just remained blank.

   Why do you actually ask? Switching browsers has got to be one of the easiest software to switch, right?

   Nowadays, I avoid certain topics. For instance any post about macOS becomes one giant complaint. Thanks for staying positive. I like Firefox, I think it's a very nice holdout against adware.

   Same. I usually add a "Be curt" in front of every prompt in Gemini.

   Firefox is the only holdout against the ad companies, and I'm counting Microsoft amongst those. It's a very good browser, independent with its own renderer, with decent ad blocking and decent performance. It continually amazes me

    I'm not a web dev, but doesn't HTML come with a date picker?

    I'm not a web dev, what do you love about it?

    Yup, as soon as you have a 3d printer, you’re going Gridfinity.

    I use Aerospace and it's an okay but not great tiling window manager. Note that AeroSpace really is among the best on macOS, but I'm guessing the OS APIs simply don't expose enough hooks. https://github.com/ni

    Same. I've got a couple of folders in my ~/Documents titled "Other". Also, if you have projects with lots of parts, and you've got a 3D printer: have you discovered Gridfinity? (or others like Multibuild?) For the u

    I deeply hate the people that use AI to poison the music, video or articles that I consume. However I really feel that it can possibly make software cheaper. A couple of years ago, I worked for an agency as a dev. I had a chat with one of t

    What was the thinking of putting the close button on the right of the tab?

    I'd like it but don't listen to me and please just stay in love with programming because this is such an awesome little project.

    I appreciate that it's beautiful and awesome, but when the complete screen was filled, I wanted a flamethrower option.

    Got it, so in your case, you create code that only needs to work and to meet your personal standards. Interesting.

    Do you hold up that code to the standards you teach? Genuine question.

    Or you just code it yourself.

    I decrease the spacing that macOS applies between menubar icons: % defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSelectionPadding -int 8 % defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSpacing -int 8

    I've got a TP-Link Archer C7, hardware version 5. No such toggle unfortunately, but thanks nevertheless. Perhaps I should try and flash it with OpenWRT.

    What's bizarre is that my previous TP-Link routers alawys had this ability, but when I upgraded two years ago, it was gone.

    What's interesting, is that this circumvents permanent DNS blocks that are maintained by the ISPs in my country (Netherlands). Probably not why you built it, but useful nevertheless :-)

    Just so I understand; this watch does not show notifications when paired with an iPhone?

    It was a surprisingly honest blog post, but like you, I can't really see any reasons why self-publishing would work this time.

    I didn't know about Solidworks for Makers, thanks so much for the tip. Watching the Deltahedra video right now, pretty interesting.

    I love free software. However I'm still kinda doubting... should I want to take a commercial job, aren't we expected to use Solidworks or something? But yeah, thinking in CAD is probably the major step here.
