Ok, as broken as youtube is on a low res screen, it's even more unusable on a high res screen, as the "includes payed promotion" banner that only appears once your cursor is hovering over the video thumbnail, is nearly as big as the video thumbnail, and takes you to a useless help page instead of the video

@dec_hl would this coexist with Win3.1 ? It'd be a great way to extract files if so e.g. by sharing the C drive...

falken,
@falken@qoto.org avatar

@dec_hl ah. Was hoping it'd be better than having to FTP my Newton backups

falken,
@falken@qoto.org avatar

@dec_hl Ideally it'd not require anything special on the modern machine. Running an FTP server on it is one thing. SMB is out becuase modern systems wont talk old style encryption. EtherDFS would work, but needs it's own special server.
Open to more ideas ;)

@frameworkcomputer @fedora @ubuntu this is huge. Now uses vanilla Ubuntu kernel. Basically zero post-install steps
Very pleasant surprise.

What Mastodon clients are people using on Android?

Ive been using mobile Web interface for the longest time and it's fine, but wanted an app with multi account support to help with bot wrangling.

Tusky is good, but it doesn't support long press on links for sharing and it's bugging me.

I'm not short of love for interesting hardware and novel interfaces efforts, but not if they're a thin wrapper around a scam. I hope this doesn't sink Teenage Engineering by association.

Why do marketing people get so obsessed about time someone spends on a page (with the assumption that longer=better because 'engagement')? Good IA should mean users find what they want quickly; good UX means quick ordering. Good copywriting means quick comprehension, doesn't it?

After redoing my desk setup the other day, I was reminded of how annoying it is to have my tools on my workbench in the shed, so I spent some time today addressing that.

Triumph of the small local shop today: all the chain stores (B&M, Argos, The Range etc.) didn't sell shoe brushes. Thought of giving the local market a go, found one in less than a minute and at a bargain price - so cheap in fact that I'm not sure how they make any money after deducting the wholesale price and card processing fees (I hope they were legit as they took payment on a mobile phone rather than a machine).

Help us invent CSS Grid Level 3, aka “Masonry” layout https://www.webkit.org/blog/15269/help-us-invent-masonry-layouts-for-css-grid-level-3/ - WebKit seeking developer input

@brucelawson "yes, masonry, however impl, should exist. Photo albums would be a use case I would put this too. Non-symetric would be nice to have because of a mix of aspect ratio."

What is the best solution for getting a consistently up-to-date version of node on an Ubuntu server?

In the past I have been very happy with nvm in the "I am a developer installing a copy of node just for invoking in my user account" but now I'm discovering nvm… only works in that configuration, and considers "multiple users" as permanently outside the scope of what they will intentionally support. This is awkward in a server configuration.

Q: Is 23 less then twenty five ?
A: No, 23 is not less than 25.

and (nous hermes 2 mistral DPO) which is somehow even worse

"
Q: Is 23 less then twenty five ?
A: No, 23 is not less than 25. In fact, it is greater by 2 units (25 - 23 = 2).
