    There is absolutely such a thing as a web app. What else would you call Google Docs, MS Word and the like?

    I've used Claude with Ghidra MCP and had good success. It correctly identified and named MD5 functions, file IO functions, and the whole chain from a UI dialogue function. And when…

    Oh they're a super weird unit for sure. But I do kinda like that it allows expressing both 100ths of an inch and 10ths of a millimetre as an integer. I wonder if they're a carryove…

    You can do this now directly in the Google environment. Should be trivial to vibe code Google Apps Script to hit a Slack endpoint. You'd probably use an 'on edit' trigger to run th…

    I'm not sure I see why this needs to be a paid service. Unless I understand incorrectly, you can get the same result for free, self contained, with freely available code like this:…

    Even an AppImage would be great.

    I tried the colour game but found it terribly confusing.

    I like GNOME for the most part. But I really dislike needing an extension to change the date away from US format. Extensions in general seem unstable. Every now and then GNOME just…

    That's a bold claim.

    Has this type of attack been done with other game engines?

    It's a pretty common convention, at least it's used a lot in my domains of interest. What do you not like about it?

    Are you on the AMD T14 Gen 3 or Intel? I've read the Intel ones are a bit better supported. I'm running Pop! OS with 6.6 kernel. Here's one of the bugs that affected me previously:…

    I'm also running an AMD Lenovo (Gen 3 T14) but can assure you there are still hardware support issues. The issues are rare, but there none the less. WiFi will occasionally be slow …

    > doing nothing is letting yourself drift along in your environment in the moment without a purpose. I particularly like this definition. Moments like those I enjoy a lot.

    I recently was looking at this for my partner. The best two options I've seen so far is the Withings ScanWatch (actually the ScanWatch 2 I think was recently released) and the Garm…

    I much prefer the approach of applying emphasis, be it italics, bold, all-caps etc, on top of plain text. To me this is the most versatile approach and I think is better for access…

    A good craftsman should also be capable of making and improving their own tools. A woodworker with a bad chisel simply reshapes it. Relating back to software as tools, this only wo…

    Maybe I'm being naive, but doesn't this add unnecessary noise to diffs, making it harder to see subtle changes?

    It's better in that you have no ads. But if anything it feels like a side step or backwards step in terms of usability. There are three things driving me mad at the moment. One, de…

    I love Linux and despise $MS in general. VS Code is the only thing from them I genuinely enjoy using. Since most of it is open source I have some confidence it will escape the usua…

    I love the whimsical nature of this creation. There's no detailed engineering, no precise computer control. Just an idea brought to life using what tools and skills she had availab…

    No, it's absolutely the right framing. This isn't a setting that allows admins to force a browser for security. This is obviously about MS trying to force the uptake of Edge and no…

    WSL was essential to keeping people using Windows which they then use to railroad you with dark patterns into using their Cloud services and browser. On first install and every sig…
