Not OP but guessing: easier to build/test/debug in Chrome for starters, and if it gains traction try to fix cross-browser bugs. Especially if this is a 1 person show.
Re:The Netflix Logo with Yarn was a lie on Thursday February 15, 2024 @12:31AM (#39379453)
Was anyone hurt? Does anyone care? The original post was fun, and this is even funnier.
Wait, is this confirmed that it's removed only in the EU? I've seen "reports" on Twitter (never gonna call it X) but nothing official.
First they need to slim down the hardware offering. I can't even recommend an iPad to family members anymore, because there are so many of them with minor differences. Same for the phones. Even the MBP line is now convoluted with MBP14 getting the baseline M3 processor.

Hey, my Slav neighbour charges his Model 3 that way!

Now, in all seriousness, EVs are for houses, not apartment buildings. If you have a driveway, and want an EV - by all means go for one.

But if you live in an apartment block where it's hard to even find parking after 7pm, then stick to ICE now.

People said Sam was irreplaceable and then we wasn’t?
So basically own nothing and be happy? What then drives people to create any meaningful value to the economy?
Re:My Brain Doesn’t Picture Things on Sunday October 08, 2023 @05:49AM (#37809151)
I can’t picture objects or colour, but have vivid dreams. Also it’s normal for me to hold conversations with myself in my head. Post-covid I had a few days with no inner “voice” and it was terribly lonely.
Re:Rails 7.1 Released on Friday October 06, 2023 @03:13AM (#37787974)
I recently set up a new Win11 laptop and all it took was download Node and install it via the installer. You’re up and running in 90 seconds. Yarn was another 30 seconds (npm i yarn). Even Ruby works well with RubyInstaller, and you can normally develop Rails without WSL if you really want to.
Re:X CEO Says Platform Should Turn Profit in 2024 on Thursday September 28, 2023 @10:57AM (#37690478)
This is obviously not a popular opinion, but: I think this is great news. In the world of Meta dominating social media (+ TikTok now de facto in 2nd spot), we need diversity in the field.

Twitter (X) definitely changed in the past year, but I see it as a positive change (maybe it's my bubble) - my tech feed is no longer polluted by people fighting about left vs right, Trump etc, my feed is now tech people sharing tech-related content and I love it.

Re:My solopreneur story: zero to $45K/mo in 2 years on Saturday September 23, 2023 @11:23AM (#37624090)
I see this with course creators as well. I reported dozens of errors in a particular corse and the creator was literally annoyed at me.
Basically avoiding the mistake Angular made (moving from 1.x to 2+)

Good, more companies need to fight back crazy UK demands. Blocking MS<>Activision deal, because they think they are a global superpower.
Re:DJI Drone Rescue Map on Thursday July 13, 2023 @05:32AM (#36706771)
> A missing person was found after a drone pilot from Croatian Mountain Rescue Service noticed his legs moving in a ditch.

Either amazing zoom and lenses on that drone, or the pilot has great eyesight. Either way, interesting story and glad to hear a life was saved.

Are these venues booked 5 years in advance?
Re:Google Street View returns to Germany after 10 Years on Friday July 07, 2023 @03:12AM (#36628282)
As an inexperienced and anxious driver (from a tiny suburban / village area / town), Street View (and its alternatives) are god sent to me.

I up front plan my trip, every twist and turn, especially in densely populated areas. I'm not used to driving in dense urban environments with multi-lane streets, so knowing what's gonna happen, when, and how it's going to look is immensely important to me to keep my anxiety under control.

Would be easier if they had shared Slack channels
$4.5 mil with this inflation in this economy is peanuts.

I mean, isn’t Reddit open source? (or parts of it? Or was before?)
Re:CS:GO: From Zero to 0-Day on Sunday June 11, 2023 @08:46AM (#36280877)
As a late-30’s dev who plays competitive daily, this is the most frustrating thing in my day, but also the best way for me to vent out daily frustrations.
Elon did say they would free up inactive usernames, guess he figured its not a good idea

Re:Web Push for Web Apps on iOS and iPadOS on Thursday February 16, 2023 @02:12PM (#34824119)
I strongly dislike this. My grandparents are on Android and they are driven mad by every site pushing them notifications, 24/7. We're talking about non-tech people, 70+ years old. I ended up turning off notifications for them altogether because I couldn't find a fix. On iOS this is easy, Safari won't have access to notifications on my phone.
Re:Coinbase cuts staff by a further 20% on Tuesday January 10, 2023 @07:05AM (#34323537)
Depending on what sort of crypto projects they worked on, you might be missing on amazing Golang devs experienced in building large, distributed systems. Remember: sometimes the programming language you love is used in a certain type of industry.
Surreal times we’re living in.

So many great Youtubers were demonetized for making fun of that Verge PC build video.
Re:Bring Back Personal Blogging on Sunday January 01, 2023 @12:05PM (#34208126)
So many tech sites call for boycott of Twitter (see Engadget) yet they actively post on Twitter to their massive audiences. Put your money where your mouth is and delete all your corporate Twitter accounts.
