Just chiming in as a software engineer. My product DOES support Firefox, but there are some weird animation quirks that my team has been trying to solve, but with limited bandwidth and a full product backlog, it’s hard to justify spending too much time supporting a browser with such small global utilization. Especially since we’re using third party libraries like angular material, quirks on smaller browsers can be a nightmare to chase down

I don’t know that I fully support mandatory retirement age or term limits, but something has to be done about out how poorly the demographics of government align with the demographics of the nation

That’s early adopter pain for you. In Europe there is one standard, and in the US, we’re getting there. Yes it’ll be a pain for a while that people with CCS ports will need to use adapters at NACS chargers and vice versa, but we’re settling on the underlying CCS technology being the standard, so it’ll just be a matter of connector. Much better than the three standards we had very recently (add chademo)

Feels like a copypasta

How about Apico?

Yeah, I’m cautiously optimistic that if they do truly join the fediverse, we’ll finally have our real twitter replacement (aka relatively community friendly tech that’s accessible to people who don’t want to hear the word instance, AND the big benefit that basically everybody already has an instagram account). I haven’t used twitter since the musk takeover, but a lot of people whose opinions and reporting I care about still do. Most of them never bothered with the migration to mastodon, although lots of them are on bluesky. I’m hoping that the easy of availability of Threads gets them over there, and that the fediverse connection doesn’t take too long so I can start to interact with them via Mastodon without having to agree to all those permissions. Sorry, kinda lost the plot there.

That seems weird…67% AMD and 33% Intel? Meaning zero percent of polled Linux users play on nvidia?

I wish I could say the same honestly. I mean, I don’t really miss browsing Reddit, but I miss some of the smaller communities that haven’t made their way over here (or are so tiny here that there’s no discussion), and I hate how many of my Google queries point me to Reddit links because I refuse to open them on my phone

I’m cynical and assume Twitter absolutely did it on Reddit day on purpose

Man, that looks awesome. I’d love to get an e-bike but I haven’t yet for two reasons:

1. Money lol
2. I use cycling as a form of exercise and I don’t trust that I’d continue doing that once I don’t have to

Edited to add: It’s worth mentioning that I don’t live in an area that’s remotely safe to replace driving with cycling. My neighborhood abuts a 55mph road and to get into town involves taking the 70mph interstate. You can take the back roads but they’re super hilly and twisty and foresty and visibility is horrible. I have seen people on bikes, but every time I do I wonder how they’ve avoided getting hit by a car, especially considering the monster trucks people drive around here. Cycling will unfortunately likely remain just a hobby for me for the forseeable future because I love my house and neighborhood and have no plans to move; I just have to be cool with driving (which I am; I love my car)

Wow, I love this idea; I wish I’d thought of it!

It looks like it was added in ios16 https://developer.apple.com/tap-to-pay/

I knew it was recent but I didn’t realize it was “current non-beta OS” recent haha

Sweet! Isn’t number 4 already possible on iPhones? I assume that just means Apple built it their own way instead of using a standard (that I guess doesn’t exist yet?)

What’s broken and unusable about the taskbar? I’ve had w11 installed since the beta days, and other than aligning it back to the left (my webcam blocks the bottom center of my screen), I haven’t had any issues with it
