IT is not known to be a very diverse field, so I guess it’s not surprising that some music would be more popular with our crowd.

I like post-punk, post-rock, shoegaze, synthpop, electronica, dungeon synth, ambient, chanson française, that’s mostly it. If I had to pick one all time favorite band Cranes would be it. Discovery of the moment is Dry Cleaning.

That captive aardwolf is scared though. They’re not ordinarily puffed up like this. A chill aardwolf is a smooth, slender boi.

I agree with you that failing to support multiple browsers is an old problem, but I think the cause has shifted.

Back in the last century, supporting both browsers amounted to sniffing the browser and implementing the same feature twice. document.layers vs document.all for example.

Nowadays I think the problem is different: we just don’t know what’s going on. The site is transpiled from TypeScript, written on top of React or Vue which drastically switches paradigm (bonus for Tailwind), packed with building tools, and the average dev has little understanding of what actually comes out. It’s a tall stack of leaky abstractions on top of the already tall one of the web. The dev is pretty sure it works on Chrome so they say it does work there, but it was not even a deliberate choice.

Please guys don’t make civilisation collapse I don’t want to eat poison potatoes

An ex-member of the Squirtle Squad surely.

Teaching changing minds, influencing… it needs plenty of repeating and sleeping on things. To be fair, when all else fails applying pressure has its place as well. Nevertheless small victories are still victories.

The ability of Ladybird’s team to face scrutiny of all kinds is important for them to eventually gain traction in the browser market. But I’m still hopeful, and we need more options.

It sooo looks like this, but the poster is a an actual Beehaw user though, not a bot. I don’t know what to think

Why is Jesus blasting that woman with Netherlands flag energy?

I know Ubisoft has a history of making greedy decisions, but when I see the disgusting backlash they get for being woke I can’t help but get curious about the game. There’s something irresistible about that kind of salt. That’s basically how AC Valhalla got in my backlog.

Open source money? Why not just call it crypto so everyone understands what this is about?

The beading of the water on the leaves is impressive. Thanks for that photo!

Agreed that it’s an entirely acceptable position to try and avoid being stuck in the crossfire of cyber warfare. Let’s be clear though, cyber warfare is already going on and Russia+China are pulling no punches routinely wiping American and European servers in various ways. Anyone on the front line of cybersecurity sees them knocking ceaselessly.

Whether it is being offered to the end users as free (as in freedom) software or as paid closed source has the usual implications. Ease of use, accessibility measures and support impacts inclusivity. Supported languages (natural and programming) will influence further who uses them or not. What constitutes the user base will determine what’s it’s used for and in turn will apply pressure to the editor to take a certain direction.

Political impact is not always obvious and not every single grain of software will be infused with a powerful one. The point is that our choice is either to ignore it or to acknowledge it. We can’t opt out of the world; blind neutrality is as political as any other position.

I would like to offer as a counterpoint that everything is political. Tech is no exception. Tech is a tool, a tool comes with a specific affordance and an affordance suggests to the wielder a certain worldview. To wilfully ignore the social and political impact of one’s work does not protect it from the world’s turmoil.

I contest the use of derogatory “small dick energy” memes on the grounds of body inclusivity. Small dicks are valid, positive and worthy of appreciation.

Most depressing thing on the box is the alcohol percentage.

Such dogs are very useful for zootherapy with acutely isolated coders as they can be slid under a locked office door as a means of initiating an intervention.

Underrated veggie imho. They’re amazing grilled. They give some kick to mashed potatoes. On the other hand, the sap from their plant causes serious blisters when exposed to sunlight and they’ve gone wild, turning into a problematic invasive specie in many regions. Evil carrot is about right.

And I accidentally misread this as Alegria
