The G in DOM stands for Graphics.

Which GUI toolkits over internet do you refer to?

Solar Flares
Please pitch internally for an official Rewe MCP server.

This is the future of doing groceries. Let us login with our credentials and let us do the search/filling the cart with agents.

Totally fine to do the payment only on the web, so everyone can be sure they only order what was wished, and not 300 avocados.

I hope REWE is seeing this and offers an official MCP server. In the end we pay real money there. :D

I wrote a skill some time ago to support me with "agentic groceries" on my own - it's the future of shopping I would say.

My workflow:

- I paste in urls or text for receipts I will cook this week - agent extracts the ingredients, calculates cups to ml and such, replaces meat with vegi ingredients, replaces some other things I prefer always (often also creates a nice markdown receipe at this steo I can put into Obsidian) - check my list of favs, check search cache (so not every time the api is called, I'm a good netizen :D ) - ask me which items I have at home (no need to add to the basket) - search rewe api for multiple candidates and let me choose. - after each recipe I enter /new to start with fresh context - also I have a list of things I buy every week

I still put everything manually in the basket in the end, but this is not the thing which is time intensive.

Re:Ring owners are returning their cameras on Friday February 13, 2026 @06:35AM (#47001592)
Personally, I know nobody who has the need to install this type of crappy surveillance shit on their front door in Europe to start with.

You frame it like the only alternative to American surveillance cameras is Chinese surveillance cameras, but no cameras seems to be no option for you.

Who is the one with the paranoid, imaginary reasons?

Edit: Ah btw, here in germany we have of course cameras to see who is in front of the door, it is called Türsprechanlage. It does not record, it does sent to the cloud, it is not smart, and is developed and produced in Germany, for example by Siedle.

Ok, cool - Apple is doing Apple things. And Patreon: will they comply?
Re:Allow me to introduce, the Citroen C15 on Saturday January 10, 2026 @01:40PM (#46568612)
The guillotine remark resonates in today reality because people feel this scam. Tone-policing the symptom while ignoring the cause is naive.

The C15 thread shows exactly why: It beats modern trucks in pure utility. Today we are paying more for less value.

It is exactly the wealth extraction Ray Dalio describes in Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order (Stage 5 of the debt cycle), resulting in internal conflict.

I’d argue that what you're experiencing isn't the Network Effect anymore, but rather Vendor Lock-in.

The Network Effect implies the platform gets better for you as more people join. If they are deleting your content, the network is no longer serving you—it’s just holding you hostage. This is enshitification as it best. (this ironie with a cory doctorow link)

At this stage, it’s just a walled garden. Staying because 'everyone is here' while being silenced is learned helplessness.

You're voluntarily staying in a walled garden that refuses to let you speak.

But: The door is wide open, you can go.

Re:Collaboration sucks on Tuesday November 11, 2025 @06:59PM (#45894582)
The author has a point here, collaboration without a driver will lead to a culture of talking instead of doing. To be a driver of a change you need agency. Great example with the PR. If I create a PR at another team, how will they react? "Get off my lawn" or "actually this is not something we had in mind but thanks for the PR, we are putting it behind a feature-flag and will try it out and measure the outcome".
Re:Collaboration sucks on Tuesday November 11, 2025 @06:29PM (#45894347)
Yeah, right? They really have a great website. Even better, the sourcecode is on github with 200+ open PRs, 10.000+ closed PRs and 133 authors in this repo over the last months.

Re:ReMarkable Paper Pro Move on Wednesday September 03, 2025 @08:50PM (#45122159)
I'm considering a new reMarkable, but the lack of an official sdk for the cloud API is a major concern.

The community has built amazing tools for remarkable device, but their work is constantly being broken by software updates. This isn't a sustainable situation. For a company that charges for a cloud service, providing a stable, official API should be a priority. It would not only support the community's innovation but also provide a reliable foundation that developers and users can trust for the long term.

As long as a stable, official API isn't provided, I won't be buying a new device from them.

Yes, you can add collaborators to private channels.

And you can group multiple collaborators into groups, to add them to a channel.
