The entire site is very obviously AI generated. The fonts, layout, and even the logo are obviously AI. I'm not sure about the content. Maybe the "author" is actually someone really…

So Trump's master plan is to renegotiate the free trade agreement that he already renegotiated during his last term? He obviously has no idea what he's doing. Is there even a point…

Are you running a 15 year old netbook or something? I've never noticed any input lag in VSCode or Slack (or any other Electron apps I can think of)

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add that

I like taking photos of the aurora, and I often use NOAA's forecasts to plan sightings. I wanted the forecast in a simple non-video format, and was tired of doing the mental math c…

The "dead internet" is here, and unfortunately there's no going back

Our work switched from Slack to Teams after an acquisition, and I can confidently say that Teams is just complete garbage compared to Slack. - The interface is laggy - Scrolling ba…

You can get a fever, aches, and headaches from the cold as well

I really like QOI (The Quite OK Image format). It achieves similar compression to PNG, but it's ridiculously easy to implement (the entire spec fits on a single page), and its enco…

I got a Pixel6 in July. Aside from the camera, it is by far the worst phone I've ever owned. I probably experience at least 4 or 5 major crashes every day where the phone becomes u…

No need. Safari fills that role for us now

I'm hoping they destroy eachother

That's not how NATO works. This will not affect US taxpayers

It's absolutely torture. I don't live in Ottawa, but I was eating at a restaurant near the trucker protest that sprung up in my city two weeks ago, and I nearly lost my mind just h…

There actually is a standard. Lat, lon is the correct order https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_6709

That might depend where you live. 2x6 is standard here in my part of Canada, but that's just for added insulation, not for any structural reason. Older homes were built with 2x4 ex…

> The disease has a 0.3 risk of fatality, still less for Omicron I'm not sure what you mean by "0.3 risk". 0.3% case fatality rate? But where are you getting that number from? COVI…

Wobbly windows are still available in KDE Plasma Desktop Environments (I use Kubuntu, but there are many others). Settings > Workspace Behavior > Desktop Effects > Enable Wobbly Wi…
