While I am not interested for the same reasons many others have stated here, I would like to point out that their privacy policy is exemplary: > Helium does not make any network requests, including to the Services, unless such requests a

Hey, some of us use these things exactly like that. I have an Asus ROG Ally, which runs steamOS and never leaves its dock, KB+M and monitor. I would have gotten a mini PC, but strangely enough the Ally was the cheapest steamOS-compatible op

Apple stole my entire music library. I have had one library going back to the first release of iTunes on Windows (2003?) — thousands of songs, most of them CD rips. I then subscribed to Apple Music and relied on its matching function. After

In recent years, a sizeable amount of people has begun to end questions in regular discussions — such as for recommendations — with the current year, as in which framework should I choose for X in 2025? . Presumably due to SEO filth and it

Indeed, all you can do is learn and memorise what they represent. But a square filled with a solid color can do the same ("yellow is the hard disk thingy"), and that would actually be more glanceable and quicker to distinguish. If

Different German: it is hazy, but I believe I started out with block/print letters in pre-school, and then "graduated" in some early class to cursive. Print was more seen as a stepping stone, a teaching aide, something to be

I would like to second this — this is extremely well done, and a joy to play with. Top-notch work, all around!

This is a nice idea; I am just not keen on having to host a nodejs server. Now I am wondering whether the same thing could be achieved with just nginx & WebDAV?

Interesting! I spent a lot of time on both Test Drive II on the ST and the original Need For Speed on the 3DO — I never knew Pioneer made both.

No, I'm on macOS — Sonoma though. Interestingly, MDN lists no support for any version: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/... — apparently the table is outdated.

I know nothing about US 240V power circuits — what plugs do you use, could you get by with a Euro system? I use Eve Energy smart plugs, which seems to be supported in Home Assistant through the matter integration. Local first, no bullshit r

Maybe you did, maybe you didn't. If you did, then maybe you did not do a very good job of communicating that? I mean, until telepathy over TCP finally arrives, all we have to go on is basically ASCII. > You must think other people a

It does not, and that is fine. That ship sailed a decade ago. What they could do is something the other guys are institutionally unable or unwilling to do: build a proper user agent for power users. Radically transparent, trustworthy and ex

You are taking the words right out of my mouth. This Github star hunting—, CV padding—, make-it-big-and-BDFL-yourself—approach to open source that has crept in over the last decade is bewildering and rather unpleasant.

And it would be _so, so, easy_. Make reasonable assumptions or provide good defaults. Make them overrideable. Make user settings stick. I have the same problem, by the way — my phone is in English, which means I get to enjoy Apples hilariou

It's a crossover between busses and taxis; they operate on demand like taxis, but only get you roughly the most direct way (they can drive detours to pick up other passengers on the way) in a roughly predetermined amount of time (a 20

Thanks for sharing! I have to admit I do not have the necessary brain cycles to spare today, but OCR processing is indeed of interest to me, and I will take a more in-depth look in the upcoming days. The idea of an exclusionary approach sou
