A lot of posts in here complaining about shitty commercial radio. Do you all not have local radio stations? I love my local stations.

Seconded! I had one gifted to me ages ago. Finally took it out of my car and into the kitchen. Love slicing up potatoes to make hash browns with it.

It's going to be a lot smaller since it doesn't bundle a version of chromium in every build. Instead it uses the systems native web view. This does pose the problem of vendor specific rendering issues.. How snappy it feels is down to how the front-end programmed. It can still be a mess of bloated JavaScript 🙂

I was really disappointed with this one. I tried it out per a friend's recommendation after they heard I was playing a freeware space flight simulator (Orbiter, which I do actually recommend).

Kingdom come deliverance. It was a rollercoaster. One of the first games I played after building a new computer. I progressed far enough and finally found that the combat was jank and the story was pretty garbage. Still have fond memories of the game though. Almost like the first time playing Oblivion 🙂.

Lol everyone should go read the couple of posts on the community / magazine with the same name. Hilarious seeing people so triggered by people pointing out that the name is a bit problematic.

Embrace, extend, extinguish

Prioritizing developer experience is not the reason we use front-end frameworks. People expect the web to work like a desktop app (no page reloads). The initial request might take a little bit longer, but in the end a well written front-end app will feel faster.

The problem is that people don't worry about bundle size and cram every library off of npm into their website.

On Android (maybe iOS)? You can hold down on the space key and drag left and right to move the text cursor. Very useful.

Isn't choosing a platform not driven by capital basically fighting enshitification?

My last phone bit the dust because I made the mistake of taking it apart to repair it. It became a gluey piece of garbage. If I want it be waterproof I'll stick it in a sandwich bag. Or maybe the manufacturer can use the novel tech of gaskets.

This is basically the unix philosophy. Build a bunch of separate apps that can be hooked together (via pipes).
