    Was about to say the same. It's really a slideshow – and that being on an M1! Can't imagine how much worse it probably is on Windows.

    Very cool project, but obviously missing (too) many great castles. I'm not sure if that way of measuring popularity is really well done.

    Just hoping the maildir and proper Gmail-like threading comes soon finally.

    Dumbcad line barf will not help you with that at all. There already is a format that is plain text and preserves the semantics: IFC. That's what it was made for.

    I concur. I had "inherited" the sets of my 10 years older brother, and they where a pain to play with. It was sometimes impossible to separate the pieces, especially if it were pla…

    Another note to add here: The whole system was stupid, too! What do you mean, I can only give answers, but not comment? While there is much more to say about SO's demise, the "inte…

    Does anybody know which edition with the cheerful footnotes is referred here?

    So weird that this is nowhere stated on the website at all. Was literally the first and only thing I was interested in. So bad.

    And yet here we are in VSCode, still completely unhinged, not letting us have background colors in themes at all. Apparently it's too technically complex :D (their words in the ope…

    Good luck to them! On a nother note: still 1+ year(s) until we get a real email database (enabling gmail like thread view) in TB. [0] [0] https://blog.thunderbird.net/2025/10/video…

    Before clicking on the link I assumed circumcision actually. Basically half the population has got it done :D (I know that the rate has lowered over the last years, but USA still h…

    Came here to recommend that as well. Or just leave it. Nobody needs to comment on blog posts, really. :D

    I have entirely no clue about how other folks are using Notion .... but, errr – how exactly is this supposed to help me, or work at all? How could the AI possibly know what I want …

    Definitely a Must-Read. One of the best books I read this year, and basically spent my whole holiday digging it. I think it is a real eye-opener.

    Very interesting. I did the treasure chest emoji proposal back in 2018. Back then the committee was very determined not to let in more emojis – for the treasure the official respon…

    I've seen tech like this on display at the IFA already 15 years ago. Forgot the name, but it was pretty hyped at that time. You could even demo it live. Sure, it was only to steer …

    Mh, yeah. You are right. It's flaky tho for me... Sometimes it displays my own messages, sometimes not. I won't open a bug for that right now. I just keep my fingers crossed we get…

    It's not my words. There is a 1.5 hour long video of a maintainer chat uploaded to their YouTube channel a while ago. There one dev explains it very carefully and in depth – "ugly …

    Both ideas are pretty old (50s) and in development for a long time. Both designs have their pros and cons. The biggest drawback of the Tokamak however is that it can only be pulsed…

    The current "conversation view" is misnomer. There really is nothing like that. Again, just think of Gmail and how it's handled there. This is how it would look like, e.g. you actu…

    That we can search at all is nearly a miracle given the old and bad infra. At least they work hard (I hope) on replacing the old system with a real database. That should enable the…
