Well, this is probably my final straw. I guess it's finally time to switch to waterfox. I can't remember the last time Mozilla pushed out an update to firefox with a single good fe…

Every job I’ve ever had has used ADP for payroll.

What is the benefit to the wider Linux ecosystem to upstream what looks to be a very android specific component?

I specifically prefer inverted controls in third person (tilting the stick up moves the camera up, so to point at the character it must then tilt the view down), but non-inverted c…

I have some family members who updated this week so I have finally seen it in person (I don’t have any spare Apple devices to install beta software on), but I’ve also been watching…

I was initially thinking of upgrading to the 17 pro, I always appreciate better battery and the additional antenna bands could maybe help with the awful cell reception where I live…

> I used an LLM for wording It's incredibly obvious. I'm not doubting the actual information here, it's clearly thorough and well researched. The issue is that I cannot _stand_ the…

Oh my god, I thought you were exaggerating at least a little. The “static preview” it shows while it loads (for like 10-15 seconds!) is so much smoother and nicer to scroll around …

I think at this point I should just bite the bullet and switch to waterfox. I’m tired of every single update coming with even more things to disable in about:config.

YouTube premium recently added a “lite” tier. I don’t use YouTube music and I don’t watch shorts or music videos on YouTube, so I’m able to have the channels I watch get compensate…

I'm fine paying for search, but I don't want to use LLMs and therefore I don't want to _pay_ for access to LLMs that I'm not going to use. If Kagi offered a lower cost subscription…

Phoenix LiveView also solves this. One request sends a lightweight event message over web socket, and the web server responds with only the new html (or the new content to insert i…

They have added an option to disable marketing messages in the wallet app..... in the new iOS 26 beta. which uh, really makes it look like they were not planning on doing this just…

In the article it’s pretty clear that they do put the go code in a separate executable and it connects over the BEAMs existing node RPC.

I flew out of PHX Sky Harbor back in February this year, and still needed my boarding pass through security. I’m glad to hear that’s slowly changing though, I’ll be glad when we ca…

The thing I don’t understand about using my phone for identity verification at TSA is that I also need my boarding pass at TSA, which is also on my phone. I can either hand them my…

I mean, in my personal projects I've transpiled GLSL into spir-v bytecode for use with OpenGL 4.5, even. Libshaderc has suppported that for years.

At this point, anything that even so much as _mentions_ AI, as a major selling point or not, is an immediate turn off and a reason for me to never use or stop using something. I do…

I've tried out jj a little bit personally, but without exaggeration I am using git submodules in every single "real" project I'm actually working on, so lacking support for submodu…

I’ve been dual booting windows 10 and arch Linux. I only used windows for running Microsoft flight simulator. Instead of upgrading to windows 11, I’m switching to x plane, which ha…

IIRC, excel’s ability to run Python is entirely cloud based, even in the desktop apps. There is, of course, probably zero reason why that would need to be the case either :/

This is why every calculator ever should have a RPN mode. Postfix notation removes all of that parsing ambiguity. I ended up making my own RPN calculator in C++/Dear ImGui because …

It generated a link too long to send over discord, even with nitro (over 4000 characters). That’s hysterical.

Given that the event names are passed as attributes on the html elements themselves, they’re pretty limited to being strings. I don’t know how else it would be done.

That last point about dropping HTMX as a dependency but keeping the benefits is why I personally find Phoenix liveview so compelling.
