On my monitor I found the text very difficult to read in giant print, so I tried to zoom out to make it smaller... and was somewhat disappointed to find that the text countered that zoom and remained the same size. This is an accessibility

EthosLab is one of my favorite Minecraft players for this reason. Pretty much all of his content is good clean fun. When he's editing, like for PvP arenas, he's pretty good at muting teammates if they are more liberal with their s

I agree with you, but specifically, I believe it is the user which should have this control. This prevents abuse by the service provider.

I am reminded very strongly of the line of death: https://textslashplain.com/2017/01/14/the-line-of-death/ Now, don't get me wrong, I love the idea of progressive web apps, but the web is also eas

Traditional chromebooks are fairly locked down, and make it difficult (and scary) to install an alternate operating system alongside ChromeOS, for users that want a bit more power. What is the situation like on the Framework edition? How op

Isn't the purpose of locking the phone to the network meant to stop customers from signing up for a plan that subsidizes the cost of the phone, canceling the plan 6 months later, and taking that now heavily discounted handset to a comp

I've been wondering about a technical solution to this problem for a while now. It seems like a properly distributed social media network would still need moderation... but who is to say everyone has to use the same moderators? What

Server hardware operates remote and headless, so it performs much more exhaustive memory checks and will try to proactively report failures. Good datacenters will catch these and open a ticket to replace failing hardware. Beyond that, lots

There's more to this: it used to be that a college degree carried with it something of a soft guarantee that the student could achieve a baseline level of work on their own. This acted as a useful filter for employers. If cheating runs

I think a lot of this sentiment comes from one dark roast in particular: whatever Starbucks brews has the nastiest, most bitter after taste. It's probably the perfect blend to compliment their sugary concoctions, since there's no

I assumed that the trolly company would need to clean up the mess, with lots of construction equipment, and would replace the trolly, incurring the cost of building a new one. I guessed that the CO2 emissions from that result would dwarf th

The introduction being a video, and only a video, is already a major annoyance. I don't suppose the text is available for reading somewhere?

I usually use my element blocker to hide these things. They animate while I try to read and it's very distracting.

The issue is the idea of introducing an external dependency for a one line function that anyone with a rudimentary understanding of programming should be able to write in their sleep. The idea of sharing code isn't flawed here, but the

To finally solve for this, I installed a set of 2.1 computer speakers under my bed, and I have my phone run a 10 hour recording I found of an air conditioner. The noise this generates sounds just like the real thing, and I keep it juuuust l

Say I don't care about the sanctity of my commit history, and wish to scrub my personal email from all of my public repositories. How would I go about doing this without losing the commits themselves?

Not only that, but in many areas the same company who owns the TV network also has a monopoly on the local Internet prices. It's a right mess. Part of the reason I'm excited for starlink to be a thing is that it, along with mobile

I use this license for a few of my NES libraries, since they're meant to be used in homebrew games where memory is a real problem. 32kB of PRG ROM (and the associated 8k of CHR ROM) doesn't leave much extra room for text rendering

I've been using Beat Saber as a cardio mixup, though I agree with the sentiment that the headset gets a little stuffy. My bigger issue with VR in general is that the tethered PC experience has a lot of friction. The Oculus has more &qu

For whatever reason I cannot do this. Every time I think I have my sleep schedule stabilized, and I'm falling asleep at night and waking up 7.5 hours later with perfect mental clarity, inevitably I can only hold onto it for a few day
