Hmmm ... it used to be the case that, if you give a <td> a display: flex, it would skew all out of alignment with the other <td>s because you replaced the display: table-cell.

But I just tested this again, and it works OK in browsers - at least visually.

Does anyone know if this behaviour has changed in the past couple of years?

@foolip @ppk How would you do that easily? Manual bisect or there’s some helper setup somewhere?

@gamingonlinux Have you tried the Steam + Proton setup that Google and Valve have worked on for Chromebooks? I wonder if there is any / tablet out there that can be on par with the but eg have a bigger touch screen to suit eg better?

Also intriguing as it’s the only non-SteamDeck that currently runs official out of the box Valve Proton?

@gamingonlinux And mine is the cheapest Celeron one so it doesn’t support it either.

Ping @frameworkcomputer – would it be possible to fix a Chromebook review unit to @gamingonlinux?

@ianmorrison @gamingonlinux What is it that you’re missing? I kind of hope the to have an almost Nintendo Switch like life time – becoming a stable target for devs to target and thus introducing some predictability in the PC performance space

    @darth Feels like a marketing thing – being able to say that they are more powerful than the SteamDeck even though it means it’s actually an inferior portable device as a whole because of that.

    Also: surely must be superior to Windows for a gaming device like this

    voxpelli,
    @voxpelli@mastodon.social avatar

    @darth Yeah, I’m just sad they didn’t opt for SteamOS, but I guess Valve isn’t ready to share it yet and Asus want to jump into it already

    voxpelli,
    @voxpelli@mastodon.social avatar

    @darth Yeah, and one can always buy a performance Chromebook if one wants official Proton on another device I guess 😜

    Found the wiki list of Node users back when was young and new.

    I apparently added myself August 6, 2010 and became person number 20 in the CET timezone with only one before to highlight being from Sweden: @rsms

    https://github.com/k1mo/node/wiki/Node-Users/c2544cc918971f0098708869ef2771e8bc22d093

    Latest version of Node that day was v0.1.103 and new releases were made frequently and were often breaking: https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/releases/tag/v0.1.103

    And I think npm hadn't really gained much traction yet, though did exist: https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v0.1.23

    voxpelli,
    @voxpelli@mastodon.social avatar

    @rsms Yeah, such different times, I guess its time for me to venture beyond Node soon

    Some Rust, Zig or Go maybe

    Enjoying “How companies are sponsoring OSS” from the @changelog:
    https://changelog.com/podcast/539

    My biased take is that OSS funding should be a budget line item given to every employee at the company that uses or benefits from OSS.

    Good companies offer education and training budgets, equipment budgets, why not an OSS budget?

    OSS sponsorship is not charity—it’s an investment.

    voxpelli,
    @voxpelli@mastodon.social avatar

    @zachleat @changelog My take: That it’s also important for companies to offer their employees time to OSS – including allowing them to be hired for feature additions to the libraries they maintain.

    Solution to sustainable OSS shouldn’t be that maintainers become full time OSS devs and money only really works if there’s a market at which the money can be converted into dev time, so companies also need to work on creating such a market.

    voxpelli,
    @voxpelli@mastodon.social avatar

    @zachleat @changelog My issue has been that I have been employed 40 hours a week and only had evenings and weekends for OSS and no amount of money thrown my way would unlock work hours for OSS work leaving me to try to review all code on my spare time.

    If you are employed at a full time job, then money donated needs to be able to buy back some of your time from your employer to actually help in any substantial way, no?

    Were you employed then or freelancing?

    voxpelli,
    @voxpelli@mastodon.social avatar

    @zachleat Oh, for sure, I’m not questioning your experience, just want to understand it.

    “but I couldn’t properly review and integrate their contributions because I had no time”

    How would money give you more time? When self-employed it’s easier than when employed, so eg right now it translates 1:1 to work time for me as I’m currently self-employed.

    voxpelli,
    @voxpelli@mastodon.social avatar

    @boris @zachleat Adding on co-maintainers requires quite a lot of trust, especially after last years supply chain attacks where people with malicious intent has tricked maintainers to give them access.

    Adding on more contributors will probably often increase the review burden.

    And how would money give new contributors unless those contributors are professional OSS contributors or self-employed?

    I think I’m in need of some help. 🥴

    So, in classic IndieWeb fashion, I want my website to be my hub on the internet.

    But I’ve been looking into all the different standards (, , , etc.) but I'm not sure which one or which combination of them is best for my needs.

    So I thought I might reach out on here with what I'm trying to do and see what people thought were some go ways to go about it.

    Remember when the scariest thing that could happen on a computer was rm -rf / and losing all your files?

    It was a simpler time...

    Now you have to worry about scammers encrypting all of your files and holding them ransom.

    Let's return to the days of deleting everything!

    Yet another problem with recycling: It spews microplastics

    One recycling facility emits as much as 3 million pounds of microplastics a year.

    So here’s a question I hope to answer today:

    Can I figure out how to replace the battery in my iPhone 3GS? 👀

    I’ve already removed the old battery as it had swollen so much that the display got pushed out. Now it’s time to insert a new battery.

    voxpelli,
    @voxpelli@mastodon.social avatar

    @simonbs Would be lovely with a mod that just removes the need for a battery completely and makes it run fully through cable. A great device for testing / nostalgia / random touch display to control stuff with

    There's still no way to completely disable Home background activities on the iPad. It keeps draining the battery when the iPad is idle, even though the iPad is not a hub.
    I'll remove "My Home" and all accessories. Perhaps this helps!

    Screenshot of the Home app for iOS taken when tapping on the option to remove "My Home"

    @mysk Well, as you can see there has been days with no active use at all on mine, yet the Home app is at such a low percentage

    @mysk Did you try turning off “Home” in your iCloud sync settings for the iPad?
