Apple doesn't put a green bubble on SMS "to ostracize people's kids". Kids are ostracized just for having a default skin in Fortnite--because kids can be little shitheads. Apple differentiates because what you can do wit

That assumes that the asker doesn't then ask follow-up questions that do probe beyond the could've-been-a-Wikipedia-page starting point. And I don't know about you, but how `structlog` should be configured had better not be

Almost nobody sharecropping their way to an MVP has a product except at the sufferance of the company doing the work for them - regardless of which one they switch to later. There's very little there there in most of these folks. (Fo

As I observed elsewhere in the thread, OctoPrint has some barrier to entry to get using it. You need a computer for it and you need some Linux knowledge (and if you want to run multiple printers off the same SBC, pack it in, it's awf

I feel for the OctoPrint folks, but you also see Marlin's developer agitating about support, and I think these things are related. Even if you set aside Bambu and Prusa (who yeah, they use Marlin, but their fork is Theirs and they make

So maybe it's different from your use case, but I use the same applications on multiple platforms so I don't care about the underlying OS. I'm a browser/terminal/editor sort for the most part, so VSCode acts close

I am. I went from vim to Atom, and then to VSCode, because it was Absolutely Fast Enough (I was using a 2014 rMBP in 2020! it was fine!). You can write slow, chunky crap in Electron, granted. But IntelliJ has been doing that in Java and S

The vendor OS is clunky and weird, Armbian doesn't have support (for the R5C at least), it doesn't have NVMe support (only a wireless m.2), flashing the eMMC is really weird...I wouldn't buy another NanoPi. I quite like the

I have both two OPi5's and an OPi5 Plus, and honestly? It's not a problem. Armbian support's there and is emphatically Good Enough for the 90%+ case. They're excellent boards. If you want to talk about bad support, let

It really doesn't. Cheap phones have browsed the web just fine for a long time, now. Raspberry Pi makes some weird hardware choices and have been suffering from it for a while. The insistence on SD cards (other manufacturers support

Hue smart bulbs, by default (you can change this), will always turn back on after power loss/restoration. If it's off and you have a switch, you just toggle it twice and the light comes on.
