Days of just getting data off the web are coming to an end as everything requires a full browser running thousands of lines of obfuscated js code now. So instead of a website giving me that 1kb json that could be cached now I start a full b

There's fundamental lack of emotional depth in our society as I believe you can be happy and displeased or in pain _at the same time_. I can say that I'm never unhappy but I do feel displeasure, anger and pain at times as these ar

I recently saw https://neal.fun/not-a-robot/ on the front-page but then I gave up as that's my daily reality with cloudflare and friends already. I use 3 browsers on linux with Thai IP address because at least one

These threads always kinda depress me with the fact that a 300$ device needs to be protected from thieves like this in countries where avg salary can cover it in a day of work. Something is fundamentally broken with society here and maybe t

This is primarily the reason why I stopped writing books and started making tutorial websites. There are so many interactive tools like <abbr> element that can make tutorials accessible to more people without inflating the content its

I used to disable my adblocker to show support to certain channels or pages but the ads have become so bad I really can't be bothered anymore. Youtube and Meta don't care about ad quality at all and then are surprised that people

KDE is truly incredible these days. I'm running Plasma 6 + Karousel[1] for scrolling window management and some custom kwin scripts for incredible maximalist experience. It does everything and does it beautifully https://i.p

I feel the opposite. Self driving cars seem like a meme because driving is fun and trains are better. If either of those premises is not true in your geolocation then self driving is not the solution either.

As someone who wrote a fair share of notion API code - the 5,000$ bounty is not enough and I'm only half-joking here. That being said, yay open source bounties! People should do more of those.

Play Books is actually really underrated! It's quite minimal, cross platform with cloud state and does everything really well. One cool unique feature I found is that it can sync notes and highlights straight to a google drive folder.

Exactly! To add, if I take a dedicated camera with me it feels like a side quest permission to go out there and look for actual photography targets actively rather than just wait for an opportunity. It's kinda like taking a shovel to t

The phone camera is still very much functional but it's not newest gen Pixel. It probably matches most 2-4 year old slab phones. The slab cameras are actually very much in right now and my g7x I had for 5 years now has risen in value w

Karousel knows when application wants to be fullscreen and allows it to take the screen. If you use hotkey for "move focus to left/right window" you can even exit fullscreen to see other programs. You can also force any progr

The fragility is mostly a myth. New foldables are very durable.

You're quoting something I didn't say and reading books is pointless?

I just bought a 2nd hand Fold 6 for 800$ and I'm not going back to slab phones ever. Primarily because I've never done as much reading as I've done in the past month with this phone. Removal of friction here has been such a g

Funny because these two examples were the ones I found completely undesirable and would never implement myself. It's just not legible enough to be usable.

What a beautiful demo and great highlight that Liquid Glass is not all "liquid ass", as in it could actually be usable for very specific niches. The Magnifying Glass example is just gorgeous!

Really love Zed after working in it full time for a month now and pay their 20$ sub tier to support them even when I rarely use the LLM integration beyond the auto-complete. At first I was very dismissive of it due to being Apple-first but

This is a very popular pattern in python where you'd introduce _variable before the evalution so: if (user.id < 4 and user.session): ... # you'd do _user_has_access = (user.id < 4 and user.session) if _user_has_acce
