It's being drummed up to "the ship was in distress and this is illegal under maritime law" absolutely everywhere that I've seen. Like this post. The "Ship in Distress" part of "Mar…

Yeah, drag-scrolling and page-jumping on eink is solidly in the "not great" category. Maybe you could draw a line showing where [some line of text] is moving to? Like starting from…

Interesting - that definitely seems like a more useful approach than "click to advance one page in that direction, but only if you don't click on the bar itself". I kinda wonder if…

From the original article they link to: https://alaskabeacon.com/briefs/cruise-ship-helps-stranded-s... > According to the U.S. Coast Guard and the Marine Exchange of Alaska, which…

Someone chose "most recent" when implementing "most recent", and then that decision automatically controls what is shown next. They could have chosen "most recently liked" or "most…

It'd need some kind of compile-time hardware-feature-detection, yea? That seems probably feasible since proc macros can do essentially anything they like (worryingly).

There's a "trending" feed on nearly every implementation including the official Mastodon one (hashtags have their own "trending" too), and chronological definitely fits "an algorit…

> 10. Line-art or halftones over shade gradients (images). This is particularly true for eink, because black white is dramatically faster and more reliable (less ghosting) than any…

A lot of that is simply formula authors / application devs who don't know what they're doing (python@3.10 and other versions are a thing, and have been for quite a while now, but t…

Modular ports are a physical disconnect between "thing that routinely experiences stresses and has a relatively short expected lifespan under heavy use" and "extremely expensive an…

Red Blob Games has quite a few S-tier posts, highly recommend exploring further if this is at all interesting to you

Instagram is even easier if you stay logged out. Sometimes you're just blocked from doing or seeing anything except one page of thumbnails. (instagram is very likely the absolute w…

We've got laptops with modular USB-C ports that solve this effectively perfectly. An audio one would be even simpler. The only reason you don't see it everywhere is because they're…

There were also quite a lot of examples where AMP pages were slower after the shift, but got ranked significantly higher. It definitely wasn't about speed, they already have that p…

"You must enable DRM to play some audio or video on this page" pops up in the strangest places...

The vast majority of people I know who have done phone/chat support have had a spreadsheet (or fancier tool) of common phrases and mandatory boilerplate answers, an overview of the…

Yea, it's terse and clipped in some sentences, and then changes tone abruptly and randomly, and paragraphs really don't flow together at all. It feels awkward to read, and there is…

If you have no training or knowledge-base to search, sure. But then you'd be an awful support-team employer.

Unfortunately agreed. Browser sandboxing is usually quite a lot better than apps. The table they provide is rather biased though, many of the things they show in PWA's favor are on…

Some hotkeys are hard or unusable (e.g. some of the ones that conflict with the browser itself, like esc and ctrl-l and ctrl-t/w/q). Plenty work just fine.

On an 8GB GPU and 32GB laptop: ~5 words/s while running in Qubes via ollama with completely default settings (I don't have an install at the moment that'll tell me tokens/s). Not e…
