I don't think "volubility" means what you think it means. The usual meaning of "voluble" is "talkative" ( gesprächig if your username is accurate). I'm not quite sure what you're going for here

I'd also love to see MS sponsoring Windows support for a modern linker like mold or wild.

Out of interest, are you doing any dev on the SM? If so, how is it for that?

Beautifully put, and definitely resonated with me as someone who entered mostly-contentedly-frugal retirement a few years back. One thing you didn't mention is the need to feel useful in some way; would you consider that a weakness too

Honest question - does anyone aside from the devs actually play PICO-8 games? I can absolutely see the appeal of simple/constrained platforms from the dev side; I look back fondly on my Amiga days, optimising the living daylights out o

9.336 WGPU Error: Not enough memory left. This is on a 4GB 1650 Super, latest Firefox, Win10. It's an old card, sure, but it can still play most commercial games; I'm not sure why this thing is so hungry. Lots of big volumetric

Important to clarify: IIRC that comment was about Norway's EEA membership. The UK is not an EEA member.

As I said, I don't use the algorithmic feed at all, so I don't see how "paid (blue checkmark) to have their posts raise higher" applies.

Aside from the stupid rename, I haven't noticed it become any more of a cesspool than it was before the takeover, and in some ways it's arguably healthier (less echo-chamber-ey, and community notes can be useful). Again, this is p

A small assortment of people that I found interesting/insightful/amusing at some point, plus a few local orgs occasionally announcing things. Why does anything need to be "so important"?

On desktop web it's mostly fine, as long as you stick to the "Following" view rather than "For you".

Could you link to the specific chart you're looking at? I think our searches are finding different things.

Interesting; I wasn't aware that 20mg was considered the minimum effective dose for fluoxetine. I tried tapering from 20mg to 15mg (alternating 10/20) after ~4 years and was absolutely fine; I then tried the next step down to 10mg

How so? This was the Bronze Age; smelting iron ore wasn't really a thing yet, so meteoric iron was pretty much the only kind available.

Yup, especially on the older lines (Northern, Victoria, Jubilee, Bakerloo). Particulate pollution can be two orders of magnitude higher than at street level. This tends to be glossed over when trumpeting the success of ULEZ measures pushing

Most of the CVEs I've seen for that stack are in DNS, and Firefox's DNS-over-HTTPS implementation bypasses the OS DNS almost completely in sensible configurations.

Oh god that "OOBE" horror. I almost got locked out when it demanded a Microsoft Account login, which I never use for anything. I'd only just grudgingly acquired a portable telephone at that point; without it, I'd have ha

Eh, pretty much all my network exposure is via Firefox, which is actively supported.

The best thing about Win10 reaching EOL is not being at the mercy of Windows Update any more. It was by far the biggest risk to having a functioning system.

You seem to be only applying this observation to one side, though. Russian arms manufacturing has come under attack too.

My point is that conventional strike can provide a meaningful deterrent, even without the NATO umbrella or a domestic nuclear capability. If Putin had known in 2022 what this utterly gratuitous war would end up costing Russia, there's

Not the only way. Sending drones against Russia's oil industry and logistics centres is having a pretty spectacular effect too, and Russia's having no luck defending against those either.

This is an interesting angle, and one I hadn't considered before. Would it be overly cynically to draw a line between it and the recent willingness [1] of many on the frontier to support some sort of coordinated pause or slowdown? I th

I've never had it require SMS either. Probably because I've never given it a portable telephone number. (Until a couple of years ago I didn't have one, and I still use it as little as possible.)
