It feels like not much time has passed since I announced 1000 different pages on LPCwiki, but somehow we're up to over 2000!

Combined with the fact that certain LPCwiki pages have been cited in phone-related videos, it's nice to see what started as a small project to share more detailed system specs about feature phones grow as much as it has.

(yes, I do realize posts have been slow... but the number of phone-related PC software backups and firmware dumps has been moving steadily!)

Please help an independent software creator by answering & boosting this post. Thanks!

Imagine you find an internet service that is useful to you. It's provided by a company in another country, but you find them trustworthy. There's a free option, but you consider buying a subscription. The price is significantly lower than e.g. Netflix or Spotify. You find the service is worth the money and you can afford it.

The question is: do you find it unprofessional / unfriendly / bad if the taxes are included in the price, or if they are excluded?

Example for "included":
»1.23 § per month (includes 0.23 § taxes)«

Example for "excluded":
»1.00 § per month (not including taxes)«
or
»1.00 § per month (not including 0.23 § taxes)«

Note: the question is only about the pricing page. The payment page lists without-tax, tax and with-tax amounts explicitly.

The answer probably depends on how pricing works in your area, so please answer accordingly.

Ah yeah the quality gitlab design: view a commit, don't have the list of all the changed files, because you paginate the whole thing.

Do they fscking use it????

Want: clear separation between Github user comments, and automated comments.

I want to be able to remove all automated stuff from searches, statistics, scrolling, etc.

Currently browsing repos where 90% of the interactions are bots, and it's horrifying.

Put them in a separate tab / put them anywhere else, but not where people are supposed to interact with each other...

If you like what we do about open source digital infrastructure at @sovtechfund, don't hesitate to tell your local representative about us. Our work is in the open, we share our experience and can't wait to see your country copy us.

Adriana Groh (CEO): "We also have an international focus: we try to provide a kind of blueprint to other governments to inspire them to take on the same mission as the German government."

I want to write a thing about Chinese cooking ratios.

1:8 rice to water for Cantonese congee, 1:10/12 for Teochew / Chiu Chow.

Water to egg ratio for steamed egg 1:2.5 for Japanese style, 1:3 for Chinese style

Soy beans to water for diff types of soy milk.

Good thing I have a new project (a Chinese food newsletter I’m hoping to launch before Xmas) to write all this random stuff in my brain

Bon je comptais pas le faire, mais vu que France travail me refuse le chômage et que le MDPH c'est la merde aussi..

Je cherche un poste de développeureuse backend / système. Globalement dans mes anciens tafs j'ai fait du go et python. J'ai un master dans le domaine, quelques projets et 3 ans d'expérience en alternance (dont deux en full remote).

Mon seul besoin c'est que ce soit du full remote.
Donc si vous connaissez quelqu'un qui cherche ou quoi, pensez à moi svp 💜

Today’s instalment of ‘living in the future is actually pretty neat’:

When I was small, the first step in decorating a Christmas tree was sorting out the lights. Lights used incandescent bulbs, on a long string, wired in parallel. At least one would have blown in storage during the year, and you had to lay out the string, find the blown ones, and replace them (and then discover you’d run out of spare bulbs and needed to go to a shop). If you didn’t, the rest would get more current and would be more likely to blow. If enough blew, the others would get so hot (they were too hot to touch in normal operation anyway) that they would set fire to the tree and burn the house down.

Now, we have LED strips, which consume a fraction of the power, don’t burn out, and are not a fire risk. They also seem to not tangle as easily, but that’s probably unrelated.

I don't know what's better -- Monero users not running their own nodes which makes them identifiable, or this blog post being a victim of Markdown Hell and every numbered point being "1." because they had the audacity of putting bullet points between the numbered points

Got the first version working of a custom minimal skin for #Mixxx and my web-based control interface; Regrooved and Regroove Meister.

I am not satisfied with the faders I made for Mixxx, but it got close... and took a LOT of effort. More than I hoped was necessary.

@mixxx

It seems #mixxx has very limited conditional logic when dealing with variables/toggles in the UI/skin. It is quite hard to get exclusions to work, especially when you are actually in need of a tri-state

I have a 4 decks option, but not the way I wanted it... and for now is a separate branch.

«in a series of deleted X posts, Grok boasted that Musk had the “potential to drink piss better than any human in history,” that he was “the ultimate throat goat” whose “blowjob prowess edges out Trump’s,” and that he should have won a 2016 porn industry award instead of porn star Riley Reid.»

Používám GrapheneOS už několik let a je super vidět, jak komunita pořád roste.
Mám proto otázku na ostatní:
Jak řešíte profily a Google služby?

– jedete jeden hlavní profil + sandboxed Google Play,
– používáte více profilů (např. hlavní bez Googlu, druhý pro appky),
– spoléháte na Private Spaces (soukromé prostory),
– nebo jste úplně bez Googlu a stačí vám Aurora Store?

Vyzkoušel jsem všechny varianty, ale zajímají mě vaše reálné zkušenosti.
Co vám dlouhodobě funguje nejlíp?
Já se přiznám, že jedu jeden hlavní profil se sandboxed Google Play.
Důvod je jednoduchý:
– v práci mi volají přes WhatsApp,
– jedna pracovní appka přes Auroru nefungovala,
– a několikrát denně používám navigaci v autě.

Přepínání profilů mě po čase prostě přestalo bavit.
