I like Assistive Access, but my biggest issue is that you have to click like 100 times to read any notification. No option to just be able to read a text from the home screen. I found it was even more friction (for my use) to unlock my phon

I'm not sure much matters to them aside from quarter-over-quarter growth. Take climate change, for example. Bad for business in the long run but here we are.

I've been trying to start on embedded in my own time, but I don't have much experience at all and have been spinning my wheels getting up to speed. I'm generally YouTube/docs first, but do you find any particular LLM to

While this focuses mainly on the consumer-credit card company relationship, I wanted to add this interesting study on the relationship between consumers across socioeconomic strata: ``` Since retailers usually charge the same price regardle

I'm going to take the opposite view and say paying teachers 32k is a bad thing--here's an article from an hour ago saying that 90% of Illinois schools have a teacher shortage tied directly to low pay. Clearly this salary isn'

That's probably because making participation in a specific political establishment compulsory is authoritarianism and it, by design, will face less vocal dissent

Yeah it seems pretty obvious that they wouldn't go on the record to say it was a retaliatory firing

Same thing that any freelance graphic designer or drafter would do. I've made maps for landscape architects and law firms before, for instance.

You should check out https://thebaffler.com/ and https://thenewinquiry.com/ if you haven't. They're more flowery but fun

Turns out we should have left all the trolley wires and electrified rails in and swapped the power supply upstream. Although if we had done that a lot of our hydrocarbon dependency would have been prevented in the first place.

Imagine spending years of your life wading through something offensively unreadable written by somebody who left nothing to explain it. But enough about our codebase, cool article!

Amazing, can't wait to see where you end up! Let me know if you need a hand too. I love web mapping projects--I got into programming through QGIS/leaflet on the way to a couple degrees in GIS and urban planning.

This is really cool, makes me nostalgic for a lot of time georeferencing random maps from the library of congress or from municipal archives etc. In that same vein, you could add a feature where users could contribute georeferenced map file

This is really cool--going to send this to my friend who is an experimental submarine pilot up in Newfoundland. Seems like something he could use.

Not a helpful contribution to your first question but I agree with the i3 comparison. Trying to get my volume buttons working on i3 reminded me of using AHK to reconfigure the numpad with numlock off to media control on one of my old window

I used to work construction with one of those big old radios covered in paint that has been dropped 1000 times--we got around to using an FM transmitter dangling off the phone for it. It was fun + charming, since then I've thought abou

I mean clearly they failed to beat Apple in mobile markets for decades and could also do to have less new Macs purchased while not having much skin in the game with computer hardware. I'm not sure right to repair would be more challeng

I love how culty the Rust sphere is. I don't have many opportunities to use it but I always stop to watch tutorials/read articles because of how enthusiastic people are about the language

That quote is an auto industry representative saying the transition to electric vehicles will take longer than the federal government is urging (which is to say, it'll take another 100 years by their measures). On my end I meant the 20

Funny to see that quote "This requires a massive, 100-year change [..] to the way Americans drive" when this has no real effect on a century of autocentric land use in the US and only represents an even heavier subsidization progr

I agree, I think that a lot of discourse on this website is grounded in critiquing people's misconceptions about these AI models when in reality accepting the concerns of writers, artists, consumers of online content, etc and offering
