> never run as Administrator. Computer asks for password. I type in password. Admin access prompts are honestly a joke even on macOS. The source is completely opaque.

Wow I didn't know this existed, thank you! Not perfect but definitely one fewer excuse to install Instagram.

I think that unlike physical art, there aren't actually enough people who recognize or even care about your craft. Sure the codebase is super maintainable and that half-pixel line ties things up beautifully, but nobody cares other than

It's typical of non-technical people to ask for "like Facebook, but x y z." They just don't know the magnitude of effort required behind these projects.

GitHub is literally Microsoft. US company with servers in the US. What you're talking about is the underlying technology.

I did the same, but because I realized it could become addicting. Too bad Instagram f'ed me by copying TikTok. Now I'm addicted to Reels and I can't uninstall Instagram because my friends message me on it.

I had the same thought. I think the job is unavoidable BUT it needs much better screening. There are already countless of mindless individual who love watching that content, why not hire them? Finally a job sex offenders are good at. It cou

You're thinking US. What happens when most of the world doesn't even have an ID? Does Facebook suddenly drop 80% of users? Do US Facebook users only see US content? The internet is not only "the west." What you're t

If this is true, it's insane that this would work: - why does CWS respond to cross-site requests? - why is chrome sending the credentials (or equivalent) in these requests? - why is the button enabled server-side and not via JS? Google

Fun fact: I used to automatically screenshot my desktop every few minutes eons ago. This would occasionally save me when I lost some work and could go back to check the screenshots. I only gave it up because it felt like a liability and, ah

Machines are really good at putting two and two together and humans are generally not. Are both of you completely sure that you didn't google anything related to the image before or after? While Meta doesn't have access to the con

This isn't 2012 anymore, most businesses live in the browser, they couldn't care less what OS they're running. The only reason Windows is still so popular is due to inertia. Ever Excel-centric businesses can use Excel in the

How so? It's already related to `devicePixelRatio` and it's already handled by the browser as a full-page zoom.

What's old is new again. Old timers remember that this was the old way of doing things, until at some point they changed to do full-page zooms, to the joy of developers. Now they're adding support for this again, but `:root{font-s

Are businesses expected to boom and bust? Cost cutting is fine if you don't kill the company in the process.

Why are programmers so bad at this? It's never been easier to take and share screenshots, but a lot of technical people would rather write and have you read 500 words than post a single screenshot. Boggles my mind.

I think it was more about control. The narrative was that the Chinese government was intentionally affecting the algorithm for US users to dumb them down and affect elections.

And yet they can't be bothered to add 10 lines of CSS for dark mode support.

Kinda difficult to do when the Mac does not turn on. Actually a technician came over to attempt to fix it, then just took it with him to ship it to Apple.

Connection-related bugs are the worst. Here I am, wishing that after 15 years of hotspot software and WiFi/BT enhancements I'd get painless hotspot, airdrop and general WiFi connectivity. My bad, still not possible. But yeah Liqui

Speaking of data loss, it's fucked up that Apple doesn't give a shit about your data. Ages ago I shipped my iMac to them and it came back with a new HD. Hello? Maybe include the old drive so I can attempt to recover the data? I lo

iOS 18 really fucked up the multiple languages setup. It used to automatically detect secondary languages when I had the English keyboard, but still prefer English. Now you have to create keyboard combos and can't reuse languages (can&

Soon you'll find that you cannot exist on the web without relying on third parties. Sometimes you'll even have trouble getting paid thanks to the painful existence of payment processors.

I'm pretty sure there's some guru/teacher that gives assignments to their students. The assignment is most likely "find a repo and ask if you can work on it." The student then either finds something easier to work o

You've been getting PRs? All I've ever seen is "can you assign this issue you me" spam and then disappear. I was nice to them for years but now I just delete the comment and block the users.

Yes, run jQuery 3. Crazy to think that software running inside IE11 should use the latest version of a library.

> includes support older browsers Which is entirely the issue. Supporting a browser for the 10 users who will update jQuery in 2025 is insane.
