    I've been using soundcloud also for similarly long, however a few months ago I started to notice the sharp uptick in llm-generated music that killed completely the enjoyment I had …

    I'm also a regular OSM contributor and I cycle between various apps/layers. I'm in the alpine region, regular hiker, and osm is the only map source I use (frankly, I find gmaps to …

    > Today there is little reason not to use Rust and it can cover both the processing side and the payload software. But people still insist on using C/C++. I'm OK with that as long …

    Press page-down: scrolls the galleries right. Somebody thought this was a good idea, let alone intuitive.

    The universal contact function is usually there, and it's email. I tried many times: it works. Authors respond. Only very few people seem to want to keep it hidden. I'm dumbfounded…

    Aside from outages, what really bothers me lately about GH is how slow the "app" actually is. Keeping a tab open on a PR status check burns 25-30% of a core on my cpu even when it'…

    Meanwhile: one of the major mobile network in my country announced cisco collab/ipv6 ~5 years ago, but still doesn't provide v6, just v4 CGNAT. Personal web server running dual sta…

    > You said yourself the spam drove you off. Yes, indeed. But I still stand by the gatekeeping though. Sadly, it's a tragedy due to how popular github (and similar services) have be…

    It's never fine to be rude. Moving off github into a more niche platform was the best choice I have ever made to curb such zero-effort issue and feature requests. It raises the bar…

    I had to go back and check, with "modern invisible scrollbars", and those useless theme settings at the bottom I assumed the page was just some css demo that ended there and left.

    For whom? Every single web or mobile app does his own custom thing nowadays. As a user I couldn't care less how it's implemented, what I want consistency in behavior and style acro…

    Second this. The "ui" is perhaps useful when learning to use emacs, but every emacs user I've seen after a while has all of it disabled. I've been using emacs with the "lucid" buil…

    On the server side, probably not, but I'd like to point out that old hardware is not uncommon, and it's going to be more and more likely as time passes especially in the desktop sp…

    It's dumb because a font a allowed to re-interpret the actual image, but in doing so you also frequently change the meaning of the symbol. This is not a problem for text, but for i…

    I dislike emojis in general when combined with running text. Especially in terminals or character-based interfaces with fixed-width fonts. On top of that, there are only very few e…

    Regular PLA is actually stiffer than PETG/ABS, but it's more brittle (so has less impact strength) and a pure formulation has a lower softening temperature. It's generally not suit…

    Using VR glasses instead of screens is a wet dream of mine, but VR tech has been one of the worst vendor-locked tech I have ever seen. I haven't keep up lately, but as a linux-only…

    This is completely subjective. As a student I used a ton of warez software in the 90ies. As such, I didn't have any real prejudice back then, and photoshop was the worst of the bun…

    I'm still cycling through wayland and x11, and I also do get 1.5 hours more runtime on average on my old 2nd gen t14s with x11+xmonad+no compositor. It's one of the main reasons I'…
