I've been using soundcloud also for similarly long, however a few months ago I started to notice the sharp uptick in llm-generated music that killed completely the enjoyment I had out of the site for me. It started first noticing some

I'm also a regular OSM contributor and I cycle between various apps/layers. I'm in the alpine region, regular hiker, and osm is the only map source I use (frankly, I find gmaps to be garbage for anything except looking up bus

> Today there is little reason not to use Rust and it can cover both the processing side and the payload software. But people still insist on using C/C++. I'm OK with that as long as I can invoice them. Any reason _not_ to cont

Press page-down: scrolls the galleries right. Somebody thought this was a good idea, let alone intuitive.

The universal contact function is usually there, and it's email. I tried many times: it works. Authors respond. Only very few people seem to want to keep it hidden. I'm dumbfounded by the number of times I see comments of the form

Aside from outages, what really bothers me lately about GH is how slow the "app" actually is. Keeping a tab open on a PR status check burns 25-30% of a core on my cpu even when it's hidden. Reviewing large PRs has an awful wo

Meanwhile: one of the major mobile network in my country announced cisco collab/ipv6 ~5 years ago, but still doesn't provide v6, just v4 CGNAT. Personal web server running dual stack since early 2010s currently sees 18-20% v6 traf

> You said yourself the spam drove you off. Yes, indeed. But I still stand by the gatekeeping though. Sadly, it's a tragedy due to how popular github (and similar services) have become. These sites were supposed to be by developers

It's never fine to be rude. Moving off github into a more niche platform was the best choice I have ever made to curb such zero-effort issue and feature requests. It raises the barrier just enough. On the other hand, I'm a dev, an

I had to go back and check, with "modern invisible scrollbars", and those useless theme settings at the bottom I assumed the page was just some css demo that ended there and left.

For whom? Every single web or mobile app does his own custom thing nowadays. As a user I couldn't care less how it's implemented, what I want consistency in behavior and style across the board. It feels like this has been complete

Second this. The "ui" is perhaps useful when learning to use emacs, but every emacs user I've seen after a while has all of it disabled. I've been using emacs with the "lucid" build since forever, as it's

On the server side, probably not, but I'd like to point out that old hardware is not uncommon, and it's going to be more and more likely as time passes especially in the desktop space. I was hit by this scenario in the 2000s with

It's dumb because a font a allowed to re-interpret the actual image, but in doing so you also frequently change the meaning of the symbol. This is not a problem for text, but for images just changing the color of the fill might complet

I dislike emojis in general when combined with running text. Especially in terminals or character-based interfaces with fixed-width fonts. On top of that, there are only very few emojis that can be read properly at the same size of the curr

Regular PLA is actually stiffer than PETG/ABS, but it's more brittle (so has less impact strength) and a pure formulation has a lower softening temperature. It's generally not suitable for parts that go under the sun, unles

Using VR glasses instead of screens is a wet dream of mine, but VR tech has been one of the worst vendor-locked tech I have ever seen. I haven't keep up lately, but as a linux-only dev, is there any hw combo which would give me full na

This is completely subjective. As a student I used a ton of warez software in the 90ies. As such, I didn't have any real prejudice back then, and photoshop was the worst of the bunch from my perspective. I held that view for a long tim

I'm still cycling through wayland and x11, and I also do get 1.5 hours more runtime on average on my old 2nd gen t14s with x11+xmonad+no compositor. It's one of the main reasons I'm struggling to move permanently, as I really

The frustration for me is then which "flavored" version of markdown you're now using, because the evolution seems to always be "MD is simple and popular" until gets extended with subtle differences. Those subtle sem
