My use of Audacity has not changed in 15 years, and yet I keep updating it, and it keeps breaking on me! It’s like I have a compulsion to get the latest (though I’m on Arch and the latest is over a year old, and I’m fine with that).

They’re on the forums. There was a big one just last week with triangle-shaped objects over Shanghai. Drones have introduced a new era of fake UAPs, and just a general increased skepticism of what’s staged or “legit.”

I took a picture of a hawk the other day with my phone. It was a horrible picture. These phones don’t seem to excel at capturing small objects that are far away. Anyway, I had that assumption, too. I’ve been seeing lots of photos and vids o

We went to a restaurant last week for the first time in a year, and sat there for 10 minutes waiting for a menu. The person who seated us didn’t tell us about the QR code. I discovered it after idly looking at the piece of paper on the tabl

I’m seeing a lot of people who didn’t understand what is being described. I’m a front-end dev (kind of) and didn’t understand the description in the blog post. Once it’s been explained on HN, most people here seem to agree.

Plus this was in 1993. So "keep" is inaccurate here, unless this person has additional data to provide.

Yes, that is one of the options. They can also represent themselves, or hire a lawyer. What else could they also do? Run away to another country maybe?

As a left handed person, it’s pretty easy for me to write backwards. It feels like something in my brain wants the letters and words to go that way, even though I never practice.

I think it’s simply a piece of glass with an LED strip along the bottom edge (and a frame). So the light shines up through the glass and illuminates the markers.

You can (or could until recently?) get topical ivermectin from pet stores, no prescription. Humans use it to self-diagnose and self-treat rosacea. So there is the risk that people will buy and ingest it.

Sounds like a good reason to minimize pollutants and use cleaner, renewable resources.

In the ocean, the whales stick within the designated Whale Zones, marked by vast rings of starfish holding hands (??). When you cross the starfish, as Packard must have, then you’re clearly in the Zone. At that point you have no one to blam

I don't think this source contains the dark mode toggle. He's made only two of his own commits to this fork, and neither relate to that functionality. Would be nice to have! Looks great.

Yeah, that is fun! I'm gonna take this theme for a spin right now!

Casey’s are fairly stuffed with links. The format is generally: main article; multiple sets of links to other articles; funny tweets. He might be more mindful these days of how many links he includes, because at the beginning he seemed quit

When Casey Newton (author of the article) first launched his Substack newsletter, he was alarmed that the full posts were not displayed for gmail users - instead there was a "jump" (that many users probably don't see, because

I definitely was not demonstrating anything of the sort. You are misreading my comment.

Identifying the flaws in “reverse racism” is nothing new.

Ha, yes, the dictionary: the ultimate authority for explaining power dynamics in society. I understand the draw of believing in “reverse racism.” When I was in junior high, and was targeted for being a white boy, it made sense to me. And it

I was responding to a comment that was referring to racism against white men. I was not responding to a comment about the Google diversity officer’s language.

In case anyone is confused by this person’s definition of racism, I enjoyed this description of the essential impossibility of “racism against whites,”[1] as well as this Sociology of Racism[2]. [1]: https://www.dailydot.com&#x2F

Interesting. If I get drunk two nights in a row, there are high chances that I’ll wake up the night with a panic attack. I grew up with panic attacks, and they were random and I had no clue what was happening to me until college when I firs

This is great. Do you have any more tips about how to be more human?

Mpow, mentioned as a culprit in the article, actually makes good chi-fi earbuds. They’re highly rated in terms of bang for your buck, and I’ve had good experience with them. But, if you’re not actively reading random chi-fi discord servers

In my case, I don’t care for the metrics - the stats have never interested me, be they on my site’s analytics or on social accounts - but I get very addicted to the comments. I only go on Twitter for like 5 minutes a week because it’s very

The link isn’t loading for me right now, so I’ll just add to the appreciation for Hobb. I’m currently reading book 13 (4th in the Rain Wild Chronicles). They’re all great! I picked up The Assassin’s Apprentice while looking for something to

I also think there’s an element of balancing investments and returns. If Amazon is missing out (or “losing”) $50 million per year from eroded trust, then they should invest $49.9 million in fighting the fraud regaining that trust. But they

Not only is Twitter hard to follow, but these slides are poorly written. After a few reads I still don’t understand what he’s trying to say in #3 on the first slide. And after scrolling down the glance at the rest, I’m not sure I care. Seem

Yeah, totally. For some strange reason I'm envious of people who are mostly in the terminal, while at the same time that wouldn't at all suit my needs (I do graphic design, mapping, web and app development... and I just like using

Thanks. I haven't explored other file explorers in a while, and I figured that some of the features I listed exist elsewhere. But I was typing from my phone and was thus too lazy to type a qualifier. "Just use your window manager&
