Thank you for the feedback! I’ll try to see what I can do about it. Perhaps make the QR codes display in a modal in front of the original content. Alternatively, I can try having the page automatically scroll (with ease-in and ease-out) to

I’m glad you like it. The whole thing might be a bit paranoid, but it was a fun exercise trying to get an LLM to code for me (I used DeepSeek to code the base, and then manually fixed some stuff, and then asked DeepSeek to add i18n for me).

This is a little stupid project that I created after seeing what AI can do nowadays. In an "ideal" world: - everybody should start using public/private key cryptography to authenticate each other, but that's still rather

Right off the bat, 小念頭, siu2 lim6 tau4 seems to be incorrectly romanized. 念 should be nim6, not lim6. lim6 is what we call 懶音 (literally "lazy pronunciation"). The statement that "Cantonese has no formal standardization for i

This makes me think of a few follow-up questions: - Since we know that fusion happens to damaged jellies, do they remain permanently fused? Or do they eventually grow back the missing parts and split up again? - If they do split up again,

It’s all on purpose. There’s also this sentence in the article: > In 2022, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine made the probing of Uranus a top priority for the decade.

I am; but for what it's worth, if I open a new private window, I can still browse any public profile on X without logging in, and with Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled.

That's odd. I use X on FF with not only Enhanced Tracking Protection, but also a whole bunch of other privacy extensions (uBlock Origin, Ghosterly, Disconnect.me, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, EFF Privacy Badger) without adding any ex

Speaking only for myself: I don't really mind sponsored content as long as there is no tracking and it is not causing FF to be considerably less performant/more resource-hungry. The Mozilla Foundation needs money to keep the light

Wait, Twitter/X blocks FF? How does that work? Is that only in some countries? I'm in Canada and I still use X on a daily basis in the latest Firefox on Windows and I have not noticed a thing.

I thought it would have some magic in automatically detecting the correct DPI without me doing a manual calibration. I was disappointed.

Here is an interesting tidbit: the Japanese version of the SNES was called Super Famicom. There was a physical notch that prevented Japanese cartridges from being used in the North American SNES. But for people who knew, it was actually pos

Just a quick note that you DON'T want the Hakko FX-888D soldering station. It has a push button UI that doesn't make sense. Louis Rossmann had complained about it on YouTube a loooong time ago. If you still want a simple Hakko sol

This is the kind of stuff that us laymen (relatively speaking, in the context of microbiology) find puzzling. Another thing I never quite understood was how bacteria thrive in purified water anyway, to the point where they can form biofilm.

1. Shouldn’t it be possible to argue that consumers specifically bought a particular revision of a book and don’t want any new revision? 2. Better yet, shouldn’t we just have a system where consumers have access to all revisions of a book?

How about getting a paid membership for certain higher education institutions’ libraries, which will give you access to not only books, but also a plethora of periodicals. And that will be fully legal and ethical.
