An accidentally discovered workaround that probably shouldn't even be mentioned as an actual one but got me through an hour-long webinar recording today: when an ad comes up on Youtube and your video is a part of a playlist, navigating to the next video skips it and loads the next one. As a result, if you skip to the next video when it's time to skip the ad and then return back to your video, the playback resumes. This obviously works also with remote controls on headphones.
Mother nature has been extremely inconsiderate. I ordered a new amateur Radio to replace my ageing one. Should have arrived yesterday but we got piles of snow. Hopefully will show up today.
What would you like to be added? This is feature request - someone can point it as bug as well but I will not. Ask / Request 👉🏽 Implement exit and quit as standard commands with a simple confirmati...
Hard drive prices are spiking because of "ai." Prices have jumped 46% on average since September.
The 24TB Seagate BarraCuda used to be $239 on sale, but it's now sitting at $500.
@bagder yeah that's why I just wrote that for myself: github.com/hannob/scripts/blob… (tar --all-the-options-that-enable-high-compression-and-reduce-metadata)
#Chromium embedders: imagine full extensions support, on your lightweight //content-only product. No more complex rebasings or //chrome hacks! Just clean APIs without chrome::Profile. Shin, from @igalia , has been working on this.
From an #Android prototype to a demo in the @WolvicXR browser, landing upstream in //extensions. A path to real extensions on TVs, cars, and custom #browsers. Read more in her new blog post! ✍ blogs.igalia.com/mshin/2026/01…
You kidding? They're some absolutely cool noises people can do, especially those people who can do 2 notes at the same time. Well it's more like fake polyphony.
Yeah, escalators cause me trepidation too. I mean, I am fully capable of using them safely, but I always, every single time, hesitate for at least one second while I really consider, before stepping on one. The moving mechanisms are simply too close to the passengers to provide enough reasonable barrier between safety and danger. Elevators are certainly safer modes of inter-floor transport, as the passenger car is fully separated from any mechanism. That is not to say that elevators do not fail either, but I would tend to think they have a less tarnished safety record than escalators on the whole.
@adam Yeah, especially what scares me is those, I believe they are called travolators, where you don't have steps, but rather a sliding ribbon. I have very slight coordination problems, and when this beast goes down, my inner orientation system freaks out.
Hey you,
Yes, you, who are thinking about not hiring a technical writer this year or, worse, erased one or more technical writing positions last year because of AI.
I think one of the biggest changes in how I communicate online came after moving to Fedi. For the most part now I am able to have serious conversations with people who share my values, without being constantly pulled into squabbles with assholes who are wasting my time.
some of these graphs are truly helpful to us, some of them I think show "interesting stuff" that we can extract from an old well maintained source code written in C even though that data might not really help us.
Then there is a subset of graphs that are mostly silly and they are there simply because I'm obsessed with graphs.
Just 6 graphs left to the big 100. Isn't that what all projects aim for?
They have inspired me to finally get rid of the remaining calls to strcat and other stupid functions in my own code. This also got rid of lots of data copying, making the code faster. Good graphs.
