The problem is the rider not the bike.

As an oldster who used to do weekly century rides and lost that ability due to nerve damage in my foot (thanks to decades of wearing pointy Italian riding shoes), I’d love it if we…

On the Song Exploder podcast, Take on Me episode, the artist talks about the producer saying that a male falsetto was a “make this song a hit” button…

It absolutely is possible to write completely neutrally. All it takes is for the writer to be aware/honest of their biases and to have a goal of achieving a neutral perspective. Of…

Subscription Bookmarking apps will never be part of my workflow.

Bah! Tab “hoarding” is part of my workflow and it works great with the right tooling in place: FF with sidebury, containers, and suspender extensions. Panels for 8 high level topic…

I use Infuse on an appletv and simply point it at a samba share. Easiest setup ever. What am I missing out on by not using jellyfin or plex?

While the UI designers are rearranging deck chairs, the UX is totally failing to love up to the promise of an ecosystem. Cross system cut n paste is a neat trick, but I just want t…

Agreed. I just wish it could fix these crappy fixed width layouts.

I am befuddled. How do are you hearing Portishead (and DCD is even more bizarre)? I hear a touch of Beach House on older releases when there are vocals. But yeah, agree that it is …

I looked at the git page for sponsor block TV, but it’s super confusing. It’s talking about installing python and docker. You can’t do that stuff on an Apple TV right??

Why do you want a megacorp to tell you what to listen to!?? There are a million ways to do discovery where some enshitified corp isn’t incentivized to push something at you.

Interesting read, but I was surprised that the author didn’t discuss the dynamics of the interplay between dissonance and consonance. What makes consonance so satisfying is the jux…

This looks very interesting and I appreciate the pricing model and lack of cloud. It wasn’t clear from the site, but is there a check all moves prior to execution function? Undo?

Ah! That was exactly the problem. Dark Night on Safari on ios.

I know we shouldn’t be discussing website design, but using light grey font on a white background is not only ugly, it is basically illegible for anyone with oldster eyes.

Thanks to this post, I checked my ultrasonic filled with tap water. With it running all night in a bedroom with an open door, morning pm2.5 readings are ~30 and the meter is in the…

Can someone please explain why these token guessing models aren't being combined with logic "filters?" I remember when computers were lauded for being precise tools.

Is it piracy to pirate a pirate? Most of the content that I view on YT is old live concerts uploaded by fans. Did goog pay a license for those pirate recordings? Who should goog pa…

Where are the AR driving glasses that automatically dim oncoming headlights (and alert the driver to possible road hazards, and…)? Seems to me that all of this tech to create auton…

>Fortunately, the software capability to handle different text sizes can make it easier to support people with a vision disability. You can design your software with a “zoom” featu…

Irrelevant.

Huh? You are confusing video refresh rate with audio latency.

Notion customer here and their AI crap keeps interrupting my workflow. Pretty stupid move on their part because they have motivated me to ditch the subscription.
