Signatures are completely pointless. Literally draw squiggles as anyone else can. Nobody ever checks or compares them to the original, how can they?

Another vote for Kagi from me. Been using it for 3 years now and not looked back. When you accidentally use Google to search, or use a browser with defaults, you will notice really…

This made me actually lol. I feel your pain!

This is amazing! Can this be self hosted?

The people who don’t know how to use an LLM to make them more productive, or are scared it’s going to take their job, are louder than the people who are making good use of them to …

Just because he didn’t write the readme himself doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant. The OP will have (hopefully) at least read through it before committing it and at that point the conte…

These travel routers have an option to impersonate the device you are using to get round this.

“Unaffected by legalisation” - so at least there’s more proof than outlawing drugs doesn’t work.

Old and new both condensing and both non-combi.

I’ve lived in the UK for 35 years and lived in various properties built in every decade from 70s-10s. Some much older and less loved ones did have single pane windows but have neve…

A boiler should actually be lasting more like 20 years. I recently replaced my 20 year old one purely because if anything went wrong, it’d become an expensive/long job to fix as pa…

Wow! Seriously, well done! I love it.

Sounds like a Jack Reacher novel!

If I’ve had a break, gone for a walk, left it overnight, worked on something else simple for a bit and tried the other usual ‘fixes’ and am still stuck then I find ‘just do it’ rea…

Because it can, will and has increase productivity in a lot of fields. Of course it’s a bubble! Most new tech like this is until it gets to a point where the market is too saturate…

Huh? I’ve been programming for 20 years now and LLMs/GenAI have replaced search and StackOverflow for me - I’d say that means they are pretty good! They are not perfect, not even c…

I am personally looking forward to shitbots that live under my toilet seat and clean my butt for me.

Yet another study that doesn’t distinguish between smoking and other forms of using weed. _Smoking_ literally anything is clearly going to harm your health.

It could be a webpage but the developer would have to host it on a server somewhere (which would cost something). With the instructions to run it on the GitHub page, you are effect…

Not just juniors. Seniors too! They (we!) are not immune to stomping 5 miles down the wrong path without realising and only seeing the light after talking it through with a peer.

This! I have all my notes in markdown files in folders. I self host Silverbullet on top which is a nice web UI for managing notes, tagging them etc. All tags are stored in the indi…

I have been enjoying indieblog recently, which will add some random blog posta to your feed every day - I find it a good way to find new ones https://indieblog.page/

I think for a lot of people it’s hard precisely for that reason - it’s a very social time of year for most which increases the feeling of loneliness for those who maybe don’t know …

Christmas

We have to accept it until something else comes along and changes it again. For a lot of us, the internet has been ruined for a _lot_ longer than the rise of LLMs. For me, it was r…
