I mean I consider all the big tech companies evil, but somehow meta consistently manages to raise the bar in that discipline. I don't understand how any dev left at that company do…

Yeah this, although it seems to have slowed down I development. Last time I checked, scrolling was really laggy on Linux, and the according bug report was quite old. Man I wish I h…

Huh I'm also on i3 but I never run into this problem. If any program would start stealing focus I'd just uninstall it and yell at the author/vendor.

Haven't used windows in a decade, but there is (was?) a registry setting that would disable focus stealing prevention. Some egregious tools "helpfully" changed that setting for you…

Appliances that only have touch controls and make beeping sounds for every button pre^Wtouch. UX design has truly peaked. >:(

Yep, on the rare occasion I deal with someone who uses Microsoft for email, I give them a heads-up that they probably miss an email every now and then. I remember my last employer'…

What terminal are you using that doesn't support a mouse? Or is it emacs that doesn't have mouse support?

Made that experience once ca. 2011. I hosted a Minecraft server ona box with raid1. The "cool" part was that I ran a cronjob that rendered the map to a png file once and hour, and …

Yes, happens occasionally. I just wiggle it left/right or up/down so I can see where it is. No big deal. But put of curiosity I might still try that one day, with a more subtle eff…

You can use that app in different ways: 1) you dated a guy on tinder, he became all pushy on your first date, touched you inappropriately even though you said no. Or some guy becam…

Most annoying to me is Google maps. On web it is wasting so much more screen real-estate when showing a route, I can barely see the map itself. The app has much smaller ui componen…

Yup, though it's been never such a good run for them by far. Granted things were moving much faster back then overall, but amd has been dominating for 7 years now.

I mean, I get the idea that you want to skip the whole configure step for webcam/mic if it's embedded somewhere, but I still expect cam/mic to be muted on join. Isn't that what mos…

Media loading fails with M_NOT_FOUND (debug console network tab), regardless of wehter the user posting the image is from my own home server or another one. Invite issue: https://g…

To add to the pile: - The web client doesn't load any images/media anymore for me in new sessions. I log in, I cross authenticate with another client, no images load. At work I've …

Imo it wasn't that bad, but maybe that was just because code-centric sites like github didn't exist yet. It tried to provide you with a simple landing page for your open source pro…

Fuck secure boot. A fun project, even if mostly for educational purposes, would be to collect all the different exploits that have been found over the past years and try to create …

Most important reasons imo: 1) even though reality has proven us wrong time and time again, we can just not look at the dependency too closely and just act as if it's written and m…

> and an old file-sharing software called eMule. Dangit, the fact that you had to explain it like that makes me feel old. There was a time when that software was found on everyone'…

Cool project, kudos to the devs, even though (as other comments say) it seems rather pointless. Some things better stay in the past while you enjoy the nostalgia once in a honeymoo…

I think that was the first case (to go public), but I remember reading about this in game magazines a couple times after this, for both ATI and nvidia.

This is not what the article is talking about. It's talking about how the EOCD contains both the size of the central directory and the offset of the start of the central directory,…

Like everything, this goes in cycles. When the iPhone launched, its UI was touted as revolutionary; simple, discoverable, not the convoluted mess that a typical windows experience …

Today I used chatgpt for winapi stuff - it made up structs and enums regarding display config. So not too convinced it'll be any good with 6502 asm.
