It’s not even that much of a pain. I’m mostly dealing with TypeScript, very rarely vanilla JavaScript, and it’s even enjoyable most of the time.

Eh, whatever. It puts food on the table…

Yes, indeed, I see javascripts in the wild every day.

Custom icon packs for the win!

Practical IQ test with binary result (“pass”/“fail”).

My sincerest condolences.

Some laptops now have physical privacy shutters for that - and for those that don’t, you can get one that you can stick on top.

Saving a picture and posting it somewhere.

I see people making screenshots of their whole phone’s screen and posting them just to show a picture. In reality, maybe 90% of the time, if you see a picture on the screen of your phone, you can save that picture, with no pointless information around it, no black bars and so on. Even if that’s not possible, Android for example has been doing something from the recent apps screen that lets you extract a picture from an app’s screen - and that’s arguably even easier than doing a screenshot.

Electricity police, this fella right here…

Sketchy indeed. I’ve seen this as well, and the redeeming thing about it is that you’re locked out after 3 unsuccessful login attempts - so no matter how easy bruteforcing would be, there’s a safety catch dealing with it.

I’m a hobbyist photographer. Facebook and Instagram are my main outlets to show off my work right now. While (fortunately) my livelihood doesn’t depend on that hobby, I’d still rather have the online presence.

Same sentiment here. Coming from Opera (in the days it had its own engine) and having been using Vivaldi as my daily since its first public preview, native mouse gestures is the thing I miss the most from Firefox.

I know that the folks at Vivaldi are pretty strongly against the manifest v3 thing, but seems like at one point they’ll have to fold.

Miss Universe has always been won by someone from Earth. Coincidence?

This promo aside, it’s ridiculous that people are okay with paying and still seeing ads (and to think of it, it’s been like this since the days of cable).

A free to use but ad-supported tier is totally understandable, but the way we have it today is borderline absurd.

Don’t be a fan of one or the other, just get what’s more appropriate at the time of buying.

Sounds like a humble brag about how many spare rooms you have.

Syncthing ftw. As soon as I plug my phone into a charger, it starts syncing everything to my NAS. Even if it’s not charging, I can override the rule and force it to sync.

Sensible chuckle

That Canadian tech guy. The channel has some good content, but that whole drama with the ex-employees, even without knowing the whole story, stinks of a toxic workplace, and I don’t want to support that. Plenty of other good tech-related content that I still follow - Level One Techs, Gamers Nexus, Hardware Canucks, Hardware Unboxed, JayzTwoCents.

Fro Knows Photo - used to have some good content years ago when I watched it, but started becoming more and more annoying, with clickbait thumbnails on almost every video.

SMoD - a good source for getting to know new/unknown bands in the doom/stoner/sludge metal realms, but unsubbed after the scandal.
