The biggest impediment for VR is the fundamentally asocial nature of it. If there are fewer headsets in a room than there are people, it’s going to be awkward for at least one person. Trying to help someone debug something in their headset

I’m actually glad to see this. We have been asking Firefox to build features, instead of AI garbage, and this may be something I didn’t know I wanted.

I don’t think I’ve ever met someone claiming to be able to easily maintain 70 km/h. Maintaining 50 km/h for an hour puts you well into top professional territory, especially if riding solo. There’s basically no chance you got to t

That’s how I use them. Passkeys on two Yubikeys. And I tag in my password manager which credentials have what form of auth. UP, TOTP (also stored on the two Yubikeys), Webauthn or passkeys (the former indicating 2FA).

Unfortunately it is quite clear today that canaries never really worked, or more charitably, don’t work anymore. While you might have been able to “gotcha” the court, it would also have been a sure fire way to end up in contempt.

Thanks! That’s one rule I keep forgetting, but I’ll try to make an effort. Unfortunately I can’t edit the post anymore.

Still works for me. I still get the media overlay that tells me what is playing and elapsed/remaining time, but the actual controls do nothing (play/pause, rewind/forward). Sometimes I get double audio; usually a refresh of t

OT: I applaud your correct use of the grave accent, however minor nitpick: crème in French is feminine, therefore it would be “la”.

A few months ago, I switched to exclusively using an SSH key stored on my Yubikey token. I also recently switched to my default git config signing all commits with my SSH key. The way it’s setup means I have to touch my token every time I t

The thing is that you can’t actually trust it did run the rm command. As soon as you ask “give me a list of all the commands that led to the deletion”, isn’t it extremely likely to just invent an rm in there? Furthermore—and granted, I didn

As far as I know neither Firefox nor Chrome allow you to modify the JS prior to execution without a plugin. You can run random JS, sure, but you can’t monkeypatch.

I'd love to be able to modify JS at runtime on random websites. Too often there's a bug, or a "feature" that prevents me from using a service, that I could fix by removing an event or something in the JS code.

In this case the comment that was promoted to the top-level has been consistently higher on the page (it’s the first comment still) than the comment it originally responded to.

Yes, that was exactly my point. A local government handing me a bill that is not proportional to which roads I was driving on. There are many systems, many of them imperfect. The vignette system, per week/month seems maybe the most res

I’m not certain I agree with the premise that mileage is a good indicator of road wear. I do about 30k km in a typical year. My families live far, so a return trip is around 4000 km. If we visit our family 3x/year, we’ve effectively ex

Sorry, I’m not at all into biology so I didn’t know how to express it. I just meant that over the course of 72 hours, the speed at which the Petri dish with the less-effective antibiotic was filling up seemed to lag behind the control by ab

I’ve only used a tiller when I was learning to sail. Since then I’ve only used larger ships with a wheel as the helm. You’re absolutely right that a tiller is an order of magnitude easier still.

I use passkeys exclusively on my YubiKeys, and I ensure I always have a backup (two Yubikeys with one passkey each). TOTPs are handled the same way (stored on two Yubikeys). We used password managers when 2FA allowed us to guarantee that ev

Only if you’re happy with your CPU being pegged at 100% whenever you go beyond 40 mbit/s. I’d rather use wireguard and get 800 mbit/s.

I was surprised when I couldn’t sign the petition because although I’ve been a resident for a decade, I don’t have the right to vote in the general election. One of the more baffling systems in the EU. I’m still expected to vote in Belgium,

There’s a 50k km difference between the shortest and longest answer to “how far is the moon?”, depending on orbit and phase. The distance can change by about 75m per second. I don’t know of a reel that can spool up a cable at 270 km/h.
