Facebook is now a birthday-reminder and old-connection-keeper tool loaded with empty content to feel less sad. Instagram and TikTok are also trending towards content consumption. Messaging and group chats are the only real social media now

I've been using BeReal this way with a bunch of friends and family for the last couple of years. It definitely fills its purpose of seeing what my friends are up to without occupying too much of my headspace. Can't be happier abou

Neat thing! I'm gonna add it to my round of daily games. I'd suggest changing "Share results" to some variation of "Copy results". Share looks like it's gonna open some sharing menu and deter people from p

There's a non-zero chance that it was around 30 pieces and we felt it like 100. Our quick testing the game for the jam was not very scientific. I just changed it to "~30"

Very insightful! the 4-window blacklist is such a good idea. I feel like 7-bag is a bit too predictable if you're able to keep up with the counting. And you're right, some of the rotation and kick rules you mentioned are actually

Earlier this year I bought a bunch of moon-shaped LED lamps that are controlled with an IR remote, and made an ambilight app for my computer that constantly screenshots the screen, finds the predominant color and sends a signal to change th

VSCode git interface is actually pretty powerful, 99.9% of the git actions I do are already covered there, including merging, stashing, tagging, getting output from the git hooks... However changing the diff algorithm is still a nice one, b

I get that the naming Temporal is used for avoiding conflicts with typical time objects like Moment, Datetime, etc. But isn't it a terrible name? At first glance I thought it was some kind of garbage collection control

Same here, it's one of these things where AI has taken over completely and I'm just a broker that copy-pastes error traces.

It really surprises me how much competition YouTube videos have gotten over the years. Back in 2009, I recorded a video of burning a Coke can soaked in alcohol, and it got 20,000 views.

Got the same impression, same "aligned" structures and constructions like "here’s what you might want to consider". Probably not fully LLM-generated, but definitely LLM """enhanced"""

Don’t let the negative comments get to you. The idea is interesting, and there are plenty of ways to curb spammers (just look at Stack Overflow). Also, this isn't the same concept as webrings.

Some years ago I started leaving food in my patio for one crow that lived in an electric post nearby. Then he started leaving random shiny stuff in the outside table: pieces of metal, coins and once an SD card. The most suprising thing to m

According to their own 2024 Developer Survey [1], 61% of people are using AI. I guess it's way less effort to ask your custom tailored question in a dumb way to an AI and get a nice response instantly, then fall back to SO only as a fa
