I'm pretty shocked that Gmail will deliver mail that claims to be from @google.com . Is that really what happened?

Framework's whole reputation is based on upgradeable, modular design right? It's certainly surprising to me that their desktop seems to be the opposite of that.

Oh so it isn't even recognition, in that it doesn't identify the people. Just face detection.

Not having a clear consent statement or saying what they are doing with the data seems the correct artistic choice.

Yeah me too. I think I liked Mavericks or Yosemite or something and have pretty much hated every upgrade since.

For me I simply don't upgrade ever until I'm forced to, usually by an app that I want to use. As someone without an iPhone and who doesn't really use included desktop apps, there are simply never any improvements in the OS fo

I've used React, Vue, Svelte and Solid. React is my far my least favourite of the four. Both before and after they added hooks, all the major API calls seem to have been designed for least intuitiveness. I really wish something else ha

Huh. I'm on a few discords. They're very easy and obvious to use, and I really enjoy them. And because they are generally well divided by channel, it's easy to avoid the bits you don't want.

Huh, I often have the reverse sentiment with a lot of books: this should have been a blog post. There's often a good intro which lays out the thesis, but each chapter is way too long, spelling out details that are obvious or superfluou

Strangely I never see political content on YouTube. Maybe the algorithm worked out quickly I'm simply not interested. Whereas twitter/mastodon/bluesky are awash in it, to the point of making those platforms pretty unusable fo

Anyone dismissing AI coding without having seriously tried it or looked at the outputs of people who have can't be taken seriously. Yes, it shouldn't worked in theory. But it's disturbingly good in practice, for someone who k

Yeah I've started doing the same thing with ChatGPT. You know that it's already read all the manuals and tutorials...

Yeah out of these GDAL is the one I use the most because it's easy to script. I honestly find it easier to use GDAL on the command line than the QGIS GUI which says a lot about the latter.

QGIS is a very useful tool that I often rely on for quick exploration of datasets in my work. But dear god the UI is in desperate need of a huge overhaul by someone who knows what they are doing. Massed rows of toolbars with tiny icons, lot

It is absolutely wild seeing people who do not know how to code building and shipping computer games. This kind of language is fascinating/terrifying: > I assume doing all this computationally is more processor-intensive than using

I most commonly use them for marking the location of my car or campsite when going bushwalking and wanting to be certain I can find them again. Also sometimes for marking annotations I want to add to OpenStreetMap later...

The first question I have with a site like this is "in what regions does this operate" and I'm always surprised if a site doesn't immediately answer it.

But even that basic context is useful and interesting: "in this era it was common for wealthy people to commission portraits." Etc

Around here (Melbourne, Australia) it's not "occasionally", it's extremely common, and often happens very soon after stuff is put out.

I think a one-in-a-hundred-year pandemic is a great example of a thing that practically never happens.
