Maybe they should show us their prompt so we don't have to read all the bullshitting to get to those answers

Chatgpt makes teams feel like an optimized app. The azure website makes everything else feel like it's been optimized. Especially in the era of AI, performance has been thrown out …

It’s more than just Passkeys, Webauthn is super convenient with my YubiKeys, I even have it set up as 2FA on some selfhosted services.

Depends on the browser apparently? Only on Webkit is what it says, it’s not clear if the site doesn’t support FF, or if FF is secure.

And it clearly tells you something is run by sociopaths if they "care about your privacy and want to share your data with their 9999 closest friends, family, and partners".

I mean, that was always possible and many offered that. Wero offers the PayPal style integrated flow, QR code scanning from your banking app is slightly higher friction

My sister used it, and is currently requesting documents, but it looks like my grandad (over 2 decades dead) might not just have been in the NSDAP, but instead a member of the SS, …

Same for the kindles, but the buttons used to be much better. I'll probably buy a used (they are discontinued) oasis some day just to get buttons.

Not just for children, many "narrative style" TTRPGs encourage exactly stuff like this. If the item is not majorly important (a sausage), then you can just assume you have it on yo…

The paragraph following that explains what I mean. It’s technically not always all on Friday, as Japan doesn’t join in, and smaller labels or non-labels sometimes also pick others …

A lot of old stuff was also encoded way worse than one might think from the alleged bitrate. A while ago I went through a ton of old files, and everything that sounded shitty (or, …

I loved OiNK (and had the t-shirt), but neither What.cd nor waffles ever were a proper replacement for me. What got me that feeling of discovery again, decades later, and even surp…

But bandcamp is only 128 kbit MP3 for free streaming, now that’s not a mystery, but probably also not worse than whatever YT offers.

That is what keeps confusing me when people hype wero. It essentially (I think some limited trials?) doesn't exist for B2C, and sending money to friends is a very minor use case. S…

No, please do keep using them if you use any requiring puzzles (like hCaptcha) at all. It’s the easiest captcha to solve automatically, with many extensions available.

I plan to eventually get there, just need to find the time. It’s a lot of code, and a lot of it is not set up for testability.

I work on a codebase from the early 2000s, a lot of it using webforms, a long abandoned .NET technology. A rewrite preserving all behavior and making no observable changes whatsoev…

I’m not a huge AI fan, and was ready for some Schadenfreude. But with every paragraph I thought "so, just like modern human-created websites?"

Personally, I like the elastic (and similar) license… as long as, as you did, it’s chosen upfront. Being open source as a marketing strategy and later switching to source available…

Still looking fondly back to when I was studying back in ~2006, and my C program on some (I think?) ATMega device (probably not the latest version of the compiler? I really can’t r…

> what requires the internet or becomes tedious if we opt not to use the internet > Listening to music Isn’t that just their choice? The most tedious it can get is if you want to s…

This is not choosing between different models, really. You should check the (interesting, yet sadly very slop-padded) readme. It’s about trying to make a binary decision: Is this a…

I don't think forbidding that is legal in Germany

OTOH, that’s probably how they got rich, and why I’ll never be.

We are a very small company, and have always had far more Firefox than Safari users. And though they get by via dominance, IE style bundling of the browser to the OS is toxic, so g…
