Re:Thermomasculinity; overclocking, tech fair and politics on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @09:15AM (#50352276)
i like texts that brings a radically different perspective; this one didnt disappoint.
I would love to have something like this I used itermocil when i was on macos, that was limited to iterm windows. On Linux, I have been playing/exploring with Hypr but without much success so far.
or a large enough hand
Re:Ploopy Bean: a trackpoint for every computer on Friday May 15, 2026 @10:51PM (#48156411)
I’m using the caps unlocked CU7 every day; that’s how i discovered it : same frustration as yours!

( then i jumped onto otholinear keeb and now I’m not even bothered by apple anymore and run omarchy on a second hand thinkpad. Same excitement as when i got my first powerbook in the early 2000s…)

it seems we all will slowly learn to live within new contexts; i really appreciate their openness about it and it gives me insights to munch on thanks to you all also to ring in with dev-style annecdotes (i'm stilllearning everyday, and hope to continue for a long time): those big-prs and tactical tornadoes stories are helping keep the crafts and thinking afloat, somehow.
Re:The IBM Granite 4.1 family of models on Sunday May 03, 2026 @05:00AM (#47994958)
That thought now reminds me of the ibm accounting machines and their punch cards… Not a great perspective.
Re:The IBM Granite 4.1 family of models on Sunday May 03, 2026 @04:55AM (#47994931)
Or trying to… given the performance of this release.

I bet though internal tools are more efficient.

The few tests i ran i just got Granite4.1 tell me about YOLO repeatedly for no reasons; every questions and prompts were answered with a mention of a vision system unrelated with the task…
Re:Claude Code no longer included in Pro tier? on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @08:20PM (#47856853)
I find the whole thing a bit sad but you made me smile. Thank you.
Probably just a matter of time, it’s possible the friction will create opportunities. Something in the spirit of iaPresenter, md first would be awesome.

At the moment i have long html page with key event for next and previous, tiny script to check on specif markup for autoscroll.

Brilliant!
Re:Can I Run AI locally? on Saturday March 14, 2026 @06:13AM (#47375126)
I just did! Warmly encouraging you to try it out! Managed to put Omarchy on an external ssd on my old macbookpro 2019; rarely booting in macos now. Long time i haven’t enjoyed using a computer SO MUCH!

I second cal! Also I find bsdmainutils’s calendar quite amazing in its simplicity
Re:Reminders (BSD Calendar and All) on Thursday January 22, 2026 @05:44PM (#46726100)
Why i posted this: I'm deeply touched by this extreme simplicity. All you need is a text file and you can get all your incoming events in the terminal. Quite naively and with the help of AI, I'm building a bash script (as a quick proof of concept) to integrate this radical simplicity with some contemporary .ics files. Maybe you get some inspiration from this as well.

No one would drive to the pub anyway. Better walking back home…
Re:CSS Grid Lanes on Saturday December 20, 2025 @08:42AM (#46336129)
With Masonry and using the bin packing algorithm/layout, according to your visual requirements, you can (should?) use a system for sizes for the sizing element and get different widths for the underlying columns of the ‘grid’; ie: if the sizing element is a quarter of base width, you scale down some of the widest image to bring more homogeneity-or on the contrary balance it with some enlarged elements that brings some rythm.

Edit: doc has this first example https://masonry.desandro.com/layout that you could use but have to imagine images to be twice the size, similar to a Müller Brockmann grid

Oh. The irony.

Re:Deafening Silence from the Cybersecurity Industry on Friday April 18, 2025 @08:57AM (#43727632)
Discomfort? Omg :) Yet it’s not taking anything to anyone, it’s not costing them anything and if they don’t feel the need to state pronouns nobody is going to force them to do so… so why refuse a little acceptance to the Other. A while back, some got crucified for having different ideas… Happy Easter to those who celebrate and a happy weekend to all others :)
Re:Acorn – Use Laravel Inside WordPress on Monday August 26, 2024 @04:44PM (#41361903)
I second this; have been using Roots “frameworks” for years now and cant state enough how great this is compared to wordpress-traditional-workflow.

It’s great.

"It's a bit fiddly because time isn't passing at the same rate for the device as it is for the satellites, but we were able to work it out."

that just knocked my brain down.

and that's the canadian version; for those living up-north and frustrated like me to not be able to see something continent-wide

http://planthardiness.gc.ca/?m=1

i would love to see something for the south as well (just quickly googled) https://davisla.wordpress.com/plant-zones/south-america-plan...

I'm unsure though if they receive an update recently or if they will anytime soon

Re:Meta MTIA v2 on Wednesday April 10, 2024 @01:13PM (#39993168)
I find it weird that not everyone agree Meta and Facebook and social networks in general are doing some good the the society and our democracies; yet they manage to spend incredible amount of money/energy/time to develop solutions to problems we aren't exactly sure are worth solving…
