    These conservative groups aren't pressuring Steam and Itch directly, they're targeting payment processors. I don't think it's realistically viable to compete with Steam (or Itch) w…

    I see multiple comments arguing that using a CAD package is only easier and faster if you already know how to use a CAD package, and this is a 'better' UI for people who don't have…

    I don't think it's meant to be a literal bento, the page shows photos with bolts and markers.

    Can't comment on the bluesky aspect, but you've touched on my frustration with ActivityPub. When people were migrating to Mastodon, I took a look at making a single-user instance t…

    Off topic, but I clicked around /g/, which I haven't done in probably more than a decade, and a thread caught my eye about learning to code. The replies were overwhelmingly of the …

    This would have false positives for some accessibility software, I believe

    It makes no sense when you frame it that way of course haha, but it's only possible to look at it that way now that we've been working for them for several years. When I started ra…

    Relating to cash flow and payment terms, my company (outside of tech) has a particularly large client (rev >$2B AUD, 10k employees worldwide) that has us on 45 days EOM, but accoun…

    I would guess the ROI from their perspective is legitimization, both of their brand and of crypto in general. Presumably the have exposure to the crypto market as a whole, I've alw…

    Do people in crypto sincerely believe Tether is backed? I'm not being sarcastic here, I'm genuinely asking. I'm a bit of a skeptic of how the crypto market has developed overall, a…

    In case you missed it, some further context, his website now reads: I’ve decided to shelve Arcane (a video game I’ve been “working on” for 7 years) so I can practice shipping small…

    I think it's fair to view Telsa's FSD as a single (very prolific) driver. If there were multiple viral videos of a single person veering into oncoming traffic, I wouldn't care how …
