It seems to me that Mastodon, tumblr, Wordpress, Threads, and any future platform's support of ActivityPub could theoretically make the entire internet "old Facebook". Facebook is/was two things: 1) a microblog (your per

I still don't understand the pro-Beeper argument here. They have absolutely no right to unauthorized access to Apple's servers or network, this seems fairly cut-and-dry, despite whatever "moral" argument people seem to w

My version of this involved a Wii remote: freshmen-level CompSci class, and the group had to build a simple game in Python to be displayed at a showcase among the class. We wrote a space invaders clone. I found a Bluetooth driver that allow

I did this back in 2016, with an iOS app I built/hacked away at while learning/self-teaching Swift and UIKit. Easily over 1,000 hours (~2 hours ~5x day per week for ~2 years) invested in to the app. I learned so, so much, and fell

Any insight on how Whisper works on older Intel Macs? I have a 2012 Mac mini with 16GB of RAM doing nothing; if I could use it to (slowly) transcribe media in the background, this becomes a must-buy.

Sure, put PWAs in some online "app" store, but personally, if I am going to an App Store (be it iOS or Android), I want actual real platform apps , not cross-platform web apps.

My anecdata: M1 MacBook Air, and I haven't noticed such a drastic difference in battery life in a day in Xcode vs. a day in Visual Studio Code. However, I run a very lean install of VS Code, plugin-wise, which certainly helps. Overall
