    Is this even detectable? Doesn’t it just show up as a regular mouse and keyboard?

    Strange that issue types is only available if your repository is part of an organization. Why is this not configurable at the repository level?

    GitHub Actions are also failing with 500 (gateway timeout) errors when trying to fetch the repository.

    I was skeptical but I just opened it and the UI does look cleaner and less bloated than X. However, UI is fixable and what matters more is content. There needs to be a compelling r…

    I haven't used Signal in a while, so I probably misremember some of what it supported. I just looked it up though and Signal's delete feature seems to leave a "This message was del…

    Signal has probably the worst UX of any messaging app. It also used to require sharing phone numbers to add contacts, which imo is already a privacy violation. Telegram is fast, re…

    I actually worked on this part of the Google Search infrastructure a long time ago. It's just JSC with a bunch of customizations and heuristics tuned for performance to run at a gi…

    Nobody has ever linked me or talked to me about something on Threads, and the only reason I know it still exists is because of annoying ads on Instagram. Is it a ghost town or am I…

    Macs have always had great battery life and the Apple Silicon chips took it to another level. It remains to be seen if any Windows laptop can actually consistently achieve their ma…

    That was my impression too, that this was more of a thread to slander Telegram than anything. The main leg that Signal has to stand on is it uses standard encryption, but it has al…

    I agree, but there's an army of bots that will vote down and try to silence any points like this. I simply don't use anything related to Meta and tell others to do the same.

    QuestDB had a recent similar but probably clearer blog post about time-series specific SQL queries: https://questdb.io/blog/olap-vs-time-series-databases-the-sq...

    I'm sick and tired of getting notifications about Threads when I'm on Instagram. The notifications are very hard and sometimes impossible to turn off. I like Instagram, but I could…
