I miss lightning. Cleanable with a toothpick and some compressed air. The USB-C port on my current iPhone is now compacted with pocket lint and I can't seem to clean it out.

Honestly thought you were listing traits that the US has now till the last line.

> A lot of votes vote one way or the other because they would simply never vote for the other. This, for me, is the crux. Politics is treated like a team sport in the US, you pick your side and cheer them on no matter what. And team spor

I'm a bit late responding on my own sub-thread, but if you haven't seen these photos before, this is roughly what every city centre in the UK looks like after dark. https://www.maciejdakowicz.com/cardiff-after-dark

Really? Last I read the correlation breaks above a certain threshold, roughly that of "I don't need to worry about food or bills".

I've been using Hetzner for ~20 years and every single support interaction I've ever had with them has been top tier. Never AI bots, always humans who are helpful, courteous and prompt. I can't think of a single company, let

This comment doesn't deserve the downvotes, it's a very valid point.

Don't forget gambling. Though given that the gambling lobby were the only donor's to Starmer's leadership campaign that out-donated the pro-Israel lobbyists, I wouldn't bet on them doing something about it. Pun intended.

I got gently admonished on here a while back for mentioning that I find those star graph things people put on their READMEs to have entirely the opposite effect than that which was intended. I see one of those and I'm considerably less

What is a "connector" in this context?

I would have, and I work in tech. I'd guess that most people who use iOS have zero idea of what Android can and can't do, because they never use it and probably never will so what's the point of trying to find out.

Sentiment among my teenage kids and their peers is that AI can fuck right off. It's way over the line into actual hate of anything AI.

The world has literally turned into a political cesspool lately. Possibly related.

I'm guessing that incest porn is apparently so popular in the US that it's made finding anything that isn't incest porn on US porn sites much harder for these perfectly upstanding members of the House of Lords. Wait, am I sti

Good points. I had a horrible vision of a git -> GitHub -> Microsoft -> GitHub-on-Azure style pipeline but yeah, I think there's enough good people involved around jj that your vision is probably more likely. Also, hi Steph!

If I remember correctly, jj is one guy who works at Google. Which presents a separate worry, which is that one day, when jj gets popular enough, Google will consume it, make it shit, change the name of it every six months and then shut it d

This reminded me that a couple of years ago I set Kagi up to never show results from x.com at all. Nothing was lost.

With all the talk of simplifying things in the blog post, I had high hopes that were dashed against the rocks when I looked at the continuing insane complexity of the pricing page. Honestly, it's like looking at Charlie's murder b

One day last week one of my clients' sites was getting about 2k "visitors" per second - I had to block the entire AS45102 to make it stop.

I despise this. Slack keeps doing this even though I have a password and 2FA configured.

Curious isn't it, especially as it's such a bad fit for their product - authenticating with GitHub in order to ssh made the whole thing so much more painful than it needed to be. I subsequently tried switching to using a passkey w

My uncle shouts at cats and thinks the CIA have an implant in his fillings, but I'm not claiming that as proof on HN.
