    Looking for this was my first instinct as well. Mindboggling how there's no toggle for this

    I’ve found the same thing but for Instagram, though I think it might be similar on Facebook too. It’s just that when I’m on Facebook it’s only to check out some things in a few hob…

    If one isn’t afraid to tinker a little more while building keyboards one could work in a nice!nano or similar replacement for pro micros/elite-Cs, I had a fine time building a kyri…

    Yeah, I opted for a smaller phone this last upgrade (in what, four years) in hopes of using it less and being less noticeable in the pocket. Used to have this big screen phone with…

    I think I agree. People already take political "memes" (some text on an image, designed to provoke reaction) for granted, and still-images are easier/faster to consume, and create,…

    The four ingredients here (avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule and octocrylene) seem to be specific to chemical* sunscreens, as opposed the sunscreens that are "physical" like Titaniu…

    Happy to hear you've got yourself back on track :) I heard/hold a similar take on depression that sounds a little nicer, for better or for worse: it's an issue for which you must s…

    Agreed, in the same way all touchscreen smartphones were/are(?) called iPhones, or people calling all tissues Kleenexes in the US, I think for a huge fraction of laypersons, ABP ha…

    Above user might not find it to be a hassle at all. I turn GPS off whenever I notice it on as well, but it's pretty far down the list of ux concerns when using my phone. Sometimes …

    I definitely care more than the average person, but all things considered I prefer my wired IEMs over over-ear wireless headphones, or today's chunky earbuds that need to be charge…

    I haven't used Waze in a long time but i seem to recall them having a similar feature a few years back... But they were temporary (promotional?) and may or may not work anymore. Ma…

    This is guilt-trippingly sweet, there's a certain charm I get from this, kind of like that of tacky Christmas sweaters or unironically used comic sans :)

    In terms of tech: react native, vue, ffmpeg. There's still lots to delve into on these items of course..! In terms of more foundational things I tried to brush up on linear algebra…

    Arizona and Hawaii are already on standard time throughout the entire year, so I assume that a similar exemption statute will be needed that starts at the state level? https://en.m…

    Unrolled tweets: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1029900695925706753.html It's certainly interesting to read about new efforts to bring about PoS in a way that isn't another dPo…

    Not sure if this applies to this scenario, but tricky wording related to 1 day delivery landed amzn in hot water in the UK. In this case, they meant one day after dispatch, not one…

    There's a reason to temporarily move from say BTC to USDT: If you think bitcoin/crypto currency is going to trend downwards for a bit and your exchanges don't have fiat balances (s…

    The method the reddit commenter (menohaxor) described to beat the openAI bot reminds me of the Go Deepmind Showmatch, Game 4, Move 78, where Lee Sedol made a highly unorthodox move…

    AFAIK drafts are already viewable (if this is what you meant?), ex: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/07/climate/docum... With the public draft already released, I think …
