I had no idea how minimalistic my idea was. I wrote down everything I wanted to say, did a quickie recording of it, and it's under 4 minutes. Are you still interested?

@zaivala Let me check

"There is no restriction on how long shows can be, nor on the topic you can cover, as long as they are not spam and "are of interest to Hackers"."

So no problems there.

These are now both "Bluetooth" and "Portable".

@mfeilner @chillicampari That made me laugh.

Engineer to product: "I don't see the problem. You wanted a Bluetooth version. I've met all the acceptance criteria"

Added the DS3231 real time clock module to the so I can easily get TOTP codes for those annoying ones that require it ten times a day.

@simon did you release the code ?

We would like to open 2024 with the question, should we continue the @hpr project ?

@perloid and I want to check to see if there is still interest in the concept of a "Podcast produced by the Community, For the Community"?

If there is we will continue doing what we do, however we would like the help of one (ideally two) additional janitors.

A BMW temperature gauge pointing to the middle. The text reads "Alright guys, bit of a dilemma. My bmw REFUSES to warm up fully. It only gets about half way before stopping. I have narrowed it down to 2 possible reasons. One, I have too much coolant in the system and need to drain about half therefore it will heat up the other half way. And two, the previous owner must've installed a cold air intake and now it only gets cold air. Any help would be appreciated! "

“Scrollbars are becoming a problem”

The current state of scrollbars is, on the face of it, objective evidence that the people who run tech do not give a single solitary fuck about usability or UX https://artemis.sh/2023/10/12/scrollbars.html

Amazon I'm logged in and only have one delivery location so why even show me items that have "This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location."

Also why is the search results so poor that most results don't even include the search string I entered.

Hi folks, I’m looking for recommendations for podcast file hosting. I don’t think I want a full-on podcast service yet (I like having it all on my site), but I'm thinking of something like S3 to just host the files. Anything less spendy than S3 though?

@jonhicks Release it under Creative Commons and put it on the Internet Archive

Requiring website visitors to disable 500 categories of cookies to use your site without being tracked (where your choices actually work) shouldn’t be any more legal than automatically opting them in. Pass it on.

THEN after selection, using dark patterns, weasel wording, and button colouring/positioning to get users to accidentally undo those settings, should also illegal.

If you’re using those plug-ins or went to the effort of making your own do this, I’m just not going to use your site - but my browser doesn’t save cookies anyway.

@SecurityWriter IANAL but under the GDPR it should be as easy to opt out as opt in
