Have you looked into .NET MAUI yet? I'm cautiously optimistic, but haven't dug into it. Should be releasing Q2 this year. https://github.com/dotnet/maui

I made a lil clone of wordle and found that the full list of solutions, past and future , is right there in the minified js. Could be useful for your analysis. Maybe I shouldn't be sharing this, it's a bit sad to break the illusi

Evidence? The hypothesis of the article is that certain scientists did believe a lab leak was likely, but hid their views. The article provides ample evidence for this. If you also want it to conclusively prove the lab leak hypothesis in th

I've pre-ordered my framework with the expectation that Linux support will rapidly improve because lots of hackers will buy them, same as what happened with classic thinkpads.

This is a computer you have to put together yourself (if you want to choose your hardware config). It comes with a screwdriver in the box. The logo is a gear. These are not-so-subtle hints that this machine is for tinkerers.

I recently learned from a loading screen message that Discord has almost the same origin story as Slack. They were making a mobile MOBA called Fates Forever but pivoted when they realised how poor the current systems for communicating in ga

Receipts are already a universally accepted proof of purchase, nobody is questioning that the games were purchased. This is a solved problem.

Where I live, a 2:2 university degree is still referred to as a 'Desmond' and many people don't even know why.

As far as I can tell, the only reason for the Glimpse fork to exist is to make the name less 'inoffensive'. All they did was search and replace 'gimp' across the codebase. It certainly is not the continuation of the GIMP

Others have explained how power is not the issue, but also RTGs are not a cure-all. This whole sunshade thing is necessary to shield the sensitive electronics from the heat and radiation of the sun - putting an active radiation source on bo

I guess I was naive to expect this to be about anything else, but the title of this should be "Why I Think Trans Women Shouldn't be Allowed to Compete as Women". It's adapted from some report by some right-wing Canadian

Jonathan Blow's talk 'Preventing the Collapse of Civilization' goes into detail about how technology can regress, with the Mechanism being one example. This kind of thing is far more common than we think, most would be surpri

It hasn't been mentioned yet how Lenovo preinstalled malware on their machines in 2014-15. There isn't really anything that can redeem that sort of behaviour in my eyes. Also they've used Uyghur forced labour. https:/&#

I've only just upgraded to android 11, and every single new feature, without exception, is a usability nightmare in some sense. I wouldn't mind so much if they redesigned often and the result wasn't so awful

BBC management has gone down the horrible path of mimicking social media companies because they think that's the modern thing to do. But these companies have completely different goals than the BBC: they aim to abuse and exploit their

The worst offender for this, in my opinion, is Wikia (sorry, "Fandom™"). There is zero attempt to make the autoplaying content at all relevant to the wiki in question, and it generally isn't even advertising anything, it&#x27

I've seen people flashing their hazards to say thank you in London, but never in Scotland. I suppose non-verbal, everyday communication like this can still remain very localised since the usual vectors for cultural transmission (social

The metro system tends to be a source of pride for cities and their inhabitants, and I think there's room for a bit of diversity in this regard. I love the classy humanist typography and colours of the London Underground, but they cert

That peak capacity seems a bit high, and just isn't very helpful if there's any volume of solar on the grid. Some back of the envelope calculations for mean output: Total area: ~5000m² Annual mean insolation: ~100W/m² Solar p

Current solar panels are almost 20% efficient. Even in the most outrageous sci-fi scenario, they could only hope to be 5x more efficient than they are currently, and in any case would require significant land use. Compared to nuclear or geo
