Re:Crest – an Arc-inspired open-source browser for Mac on Monday October 12, 2026 @11:55AM (#50058252)
My issue with this kind of browsers that I want a space to have it's own window and afaik it's not possible?
We'll need door frames covered with powerful IR emitters and ultrasound inducers so these perv-glasses will not "see" or "read" anything
I hope no one orders from anything from them ever again

Who cares? He’s a muppet and he’s not interested if there’s no money in it for him or his family.
Yes, as I told my daughter, TikTok (or any social media app for that matter) is like heroin. Better not start taking it because it’s too addictive

The first Diablo game that I will not buy :(

I've enjoyed the first 3 immensely, 4 is much less. Genre defining great games for sure!

Location: Dorset, UK Remote: Yes. UK remote preferred; London hybrid 1–2 days/week is fine. Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central / NAV, AL, C#, Azure, Azure Functions, SQL, REST/OData APIs, Git/GitHub, Azure DevOps, CI/CD, Power Platform, Docker, Python, LLMs/AI agents, MCP, Lean Résumé/CV: Available on request Email: [email protected]

20+ years building, fixing and modernising enterprise software, mostly around Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Business Central. I've worked across development, technical consulting, solution architecture, product and engineering leadership, including leading a ~15-person BC engineering team.

My particular niche is the ugly boundary between business systems and software architecture: deciding what should remain standard ERP behaviour, what deserves custom code, designing integration-heavy systems, untangling legacy implementations, performance work, and stopping twenty years of accumulated technical debt from being faithfully recreated in the cloud.

More recently I've been working heavily with AI-assisted engineering and exploring how LLMs, agents, formal specifications and MCP-style interfaces can change the way enterprise software is designed and maintained. I'm building projects around AI + ERP, including tooling for Business Central and a Lean-based formal model of ERP/accounting behaviour.

I'm looking for Staff/Principal/Architect-level work where deep enterprise systems knowledge is useful rather than embarrassing: Enterprise AI, applied AI for business software, ERP/platform architecture, developer tooling, or technically serious Business Central architecture.

I don't need the next job to be "a Dynamics job." In fact, the interesting problem for me is taking two decades of experience with complex, stateful, business-critical systems and applying it to what we're building next.

What a shame, I've used the Twitter/X -> RSS quite a lot to follow accounts.

Even the metalheads adored her: https://www.reddit.com/r/MetalForTheMasses/comments/1vyofwx/...

As Clarac94 said: "Her philosophy and way of being was metal af, look up her book schemes and charity work and how she stuck up for people like the gay community. She was unapologetically herself, always even when criticised or mocked. RIP Dolly!"

No vibration...what a missed opportunity! The reason that I got into smartwatches is the vibration wake-up alarm

I just open the page and scroll through the first couple of pages…
She is one of my favourite humans. Clever, witty, funny, hot and on the top I love the (timbre of) her voice. I listen to it on the podcast that she does with Michael Steven (The Rest is Science).

Very fast and good UI but the iCloud passwords integration is very poor :(

Hopefully this could be the first good thing about Brexit...this might not get implemented in the UK or there will be a delay!
What's to point of all this? Everyone will use Signal or some other E2E encrypted messenger, this is just bone tossing. Useless politicans spending time on useless things.
I don't get why any of these devices are still intact...

The whole "digital boarding pass" is a lie. My dad don't have a smartphone so you check in at home and at the airport at the desk they print the boarding pass for you if you checked in. Sorted.
The website itself is obfuscated, it’s not easy to find the C sources at all!
Thank you for this! I was looking for something like this for ages! Used very similar in browsers but never imagined to have a system-wide version!
Meta should be wiped from this planet...when I read sh*t like this I always say something like "this is the worse" until next week when something even worse comes out re Meta
Re:Dear Microsoft, enough is enough on Friday June 05, 2026 @02:22AM (#48408705)
Internet Explorer all over again...they never learn. Edge was the last thing that pushed me away from Microsoft. The constant new - privacy invading - features, frickin' widgets and ad-filled home-screen-tab-thing.
How much telemetry goes back to Meta from these devices still? I’m already looking for one on Gumtree and they’re quite cheap! Quite a few sizes as well! I always wanted a customisable desk tablet thingy!
I mean I would want to do this when I do confidential stuff like HR and Payroll. I would be interested above what level are employees are exempt from this. I don't think Meta wants to train their AI on their own C-Level execs but who knows...it's Meta
Re:I Am Retiring from Tech to Live Offline on Friday May 29, 2026 @12:07PM (#48325104)
I would go offline but never retire from tech, I would miss music terribly. I would also move all my ebooks over to an e-reader and that's it. If I can live somewhere offline with my music player and e-reader that's fine.

Time to pay for Kagi everyone!
We need something like this in the UK given the constant abundance of renewable energy.
