Not only that, but with toolchains like deno, it’s almost enjoyable

I wrote some telegram bots in deno and it’s got one of the cleanest deploy chains around, just compile to an executable for the target architecture, and SCP it over. Exec is statically linked, and so it just works

I’d barely say they died. Doom Eternal is full of platforming, something a lot of reviewers winged about, and there are big undies like little kitty big city that fit the bill nicely, as well as the remake of SpongeBob Battle for bikini bottom

It’s honestly the best of both worlds. A well built and tested hardware platform with well known specs and manufacturer support, that’s capable of running any third party software at the drop of a hat

These smart watches are garbage. Even Apple watches have rather short lifetimes

My Garmin is going strong 5 years later, and I’ve got no incentive to upgrade

Yes, but a better time was last month during the sale

Honeycomb was a tablet only ui. Google ditched the more effective ux in a fit of unification, that I believe is significantly responsible for killing Android tablets

Time is a flat circle. I remember when honeycomb launched with a bottom navbar, only for Google to delete it later in favor of a (terrible) phone like gui

Let’s not forget when they shipped a full page ad for a Disney movie into a browser update

And these days, privacy is basically the only appeal of Firefox. It’s slower than chrome or webkit based browsers, hangs out with Safari in terms of standards support, and can’t hold a candle to either other browser when it comes to battery life. Why mozilla seems determined to throw that all away is beyond me

Almost like using a single giant wiper is a bad idea

Bbbbbbbut it looks cool!

Google has been doing on device stuff since at least the pixel 3

Can we just have both entities annihilate each other? Please? They’re both shit

Federated directories. We’re going back to Yahoo like it’s 1995

And it’s still worse than a picture of a hill in Sonoma

Replace the CEO with an AI. They’re both good at lying and telling people what they want to hear, until they get caught

overwatch style

You mean team fortress style

Kagi generated key points:

• The new Find My Device network on Android was designed with a strong focus on user security and privacy.
• The network uses a crowdsourced approach to locate lost or misplaced devices and belongings, even when they are offline.
• The location data reported by participating Android devices is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring Google cannot access or use the location information.
• The network has “aggregation by default” as a safety feature, requiring multiple nearby devices to detect a Bluetooth tag before reporting its location to the owner.
• The network also has protections to avoid contributing location reports when near the user’s home address.
• Rate limiting and throttling are used to prevent malicious real-time tracking, while still allowing the network to be useful for finding lost items.
• The network is compliant with industry standards for unwanted tracking, triggering alerts on both Android and iOS devices.
• Users have full control over which of their devices participate in the network and how.
• The network design has undergone internal security testing and is part of Android’s vulnerability rewards program.
• Prioritizing user safety and privacy is an ongoing commitment as the team continues to improve the Find My Device protections.

Recently I had to do an update to the underlying environment a codebase ran on. This was a somewhat involved upgrade and took a longer period of time than most of our work usually does. I did it in a separate worktree, so I didn’t have to constantly rejuggle the installed dependencies in the project, and could work on two features relatively concurrently

It also provides some utility for comparing the two versions. Nothing you couldn’t do other ways, but still useful

And in elixir/erlang we’re spoiled with loads of options, from ETS to mnesia

On the subreddits I moderated, I used a big regexp to preemptively filter their comments

Letting one through was a rare event
