I’d like to see all social media sites require proper age verification, much like any gambling sites in the UK have to. No under 18 needs social media. Feel, especially for childre…

macOS for me. Zipping up and down a buffer is noticeably faster (drawing/render wise) in the latest Kitty compared to WezTerm. Using 2019 Intel MBP

I really wish they would bundle up the basic Language Servers with the download (HTML, CSS, TypeScript) so it at least has parity with VSCode in this regard

You can achieve that with grid right now. Set a row to height zero, with a container inside with overflow: hidden, then toggle that row to height 1fr. Stick whatever transition you…

My eye was drawn to the adaptive Android one first and couldn’t figure out why there was a clock in the middle. Took my brain a moment to realise it was supposed to be an envelope.…

I find the dev tools/Web Inspector in Safari incredibly flakey. Just trying to autocomplete a selector in the CSS styles pane often mangles the string and doesn’t autocomplete prop…

As a Neovim user I like that the config is in Lua. There are however odd things that it still doesn’t have compared to Kitty, like the ability to have squared off corners in macOS

Same. Even reached out to the post author and was hoping they might amend it: https://mobile.twitter.com/benfrain/status/15618030119151902... Sounds like an attribute does the actu…

You clearly don’t have a clue what you are talking about. I have a child clinically diagnosed with ADHD. It’s absolutely nothing to do with time spent with him. We have stable fami…

What is the reality here? If a company adds MDM software to a laptop they have given you for work and you use it at home on your home network. Is it easy enough for them (in theory…

If you have a 5K2K monitor, as I do, then you are unable to enjoy decent 1.25 scaling. Everything looks pixelated because Apple don’t allow a ‘proper’ HiDPI mode with M1s. The same…

Where has the ability to press the ‘/‘ key for instant search gone?????

I was astonished at the length of that article as I kept reading and thinking the same, ‘isn’t this what he just said before???’ I’m happy to read long-form but I feel that piece w…

My blog has been on Wordpress since about 2007. It works, and I appreciate that it’s free but I’ve always hated working with it. If someone made a node based equivalent (so I can a…

What text editor do you use? Get a course on that. Totally transferable skill no matter what you end up doing. I know a good one if you use Sublime Text ;)

Any Kitty users tried this? I’ve found Kitty to be exemplary so would be curious if anyone finds this an improvement?

You mean ‘fattened’, not ‘flattened’, right? Unless those guys had a thing for steam roll-erred livestock :D

Even taking performance out of the equation, ‘Go to Symbol in Project’ more than makes up for anything VSCode has. I’m amazed VSCode still doesn’t have that

If you want the same language treatment as say, VS Code, install the LSP plugin. It is the exact same thing

I’ve found NeoVimtageous to be a good stand in

I laughed. A lot.

Here’s the discord server https://discord.gg/D43Pecu I agree it’s not straightforward to know it exists but that’s probably the point. Once you do know I literally just googled ‘Su…

Has anyone mentioned the Zergotech Freedom? New to the market and built like a tank. Review: https://benfrain.com/review-zergotech-freedom-ergonomic-mech... The glass sliding armre…
