OK, cool - I see my confusion, voidr-images-service doesn't appear to have been pinned at the time so it wasn't clear how to find it next to voidr-images-web--or at least it wasn't obvious by name. Cool, I'll take a look

I just took a look at this, and it looks like while the React frontend bits are open-source, I don’t see where the parts that do the heavy lifting are kept? There’s no API in this project that I can find (and it’s a Next project, hiding tha

Desktops, I'd agree. My experience with most Windows laptops, non-Thinkpad class, is that they physically haven't been able to survive that long. Like, people rag rightly on the butterfly keyboard era of Macbook Pros, but until

Yeah, that's a wild claim to me too. My 2018 LG C8 has about 5800 hours on it and it is indistinguishable from new. (Though I've never run it at max brightness because it would be blinding.)

If that's an accurate representation of what happened, that sounds like a shitty union that's insufficiently understanding of the reality that efficiencies improve the bottom line in ways that workers can benefit from, too. Maybe,

You understand that that only happens in unions when the union assents to those divisions , right? You understand that you get to vote about whether your union operates that way ?

This is one of the things that Bluesky's ATProto is trying to solve, and have been making steps towards it. We'll see if it gets there, but I find their thinking generally pretty persuasive.

I was being tongue-in-cheek. The rest of your post wasn't worth engaging with, as 'ceejayoz aptly demonstrated.

If this was real, then the people I know at the companies paying Valley money wouldn't be handcuffed to continuing to work late into their lives. And that's not to omit the many, many software professionals throughout the United S

Constructive dismissal isn't that hard for a tech worker to prove.

I think eventually it may settle into what you describe. I don't think it's guaranteed, and I fear that there will be a pretty huge amount of damage done before that by the hype freaks whose real interest isn't in making arti

If "tech", as you define it here, was doing things that were good for people , would a party-apparatus publication be necessary? This is obvious, of course, but rarely do socially valuable innovations require captive media to sub

Most of those folks, in my experience, just have a Windows computer, or dual-boot. I use the Photoshop part of my Adobe subscription mostly on a Mac, but I boot my desktop over to Windows if I need to use Premiere and After Effects because

One of the nice upsides of a good microphone is that it can make headphones optional instead of required. I usually take meetings on speakers. But my desk mic is a sE Electronics Dynacaster with tremendous rejection and, coupled with a ha

Absolutely. My office is in a basement. The walls are all 5/8" drywall with 3.5" of rockwool inside, plus 6" of rockwool in the rafters above the drop ceiling. And that's before I get to the sound treatment on the a

AirPods do sound quite acceptable if you're on a phone, I think. There's something weird about how they interact with macOS.

The biggest thing that leads to this, I think, is bad audio. Listening to shitty scratchy laptop microphones -- or even the comparatively-excellent Apple array microphones -- is deeply fatiguing. I notice a distinct difference in energy exp

Monospace/proportional is orthogonal to roman/italic; that italic 'true' is still monospace. They do have an oblique variant instead of italic, though.
