I have an Omega Molecule joke, but we’re not allowed to talk about it.

Looks nice! I’ve been running a copy locally for a while and switch between it and Voyager. Looking forward to whenever you release this since it seems a lot more polished than the version I’m running. You also replied a while back that you were going to add an option to hide hashtags? Is that in this version? And is there any way to run this version locally?

Also

You can now prefix the search query to set the search scope from the search box … user: {query}

Wouldn’t it make more sense to keep those all the same? “@user query” or “@local @user Picard” or “local: user: Picard” or is there a technical reason they’re different? Not nitpicking just curious.

And the trend of that same design trickling down to FOSS projects because “that’s what people want, apparently” is also (mildly) infuriating.

Finally got around to starting Starfleet Academy and absolutely love it. Wasn’t sure how I’d feel about it and thought it might be tailored to younger adults (and it is), but the adult cast is fantastic and I like the continuation of the “rebuilding the Federation” concept introduced in Discovery.

It’s not an “or” situation. It is and always has been an “and”.

My gripe is with people refusing to do anything on a personal level because “what does it matter when X industry pollutes more in 5 minutes than I do in a year?”.

As a current web developer I’m with you except for the tables. I hate tables with a burning, fiery passion.

I do like responsive design to account for mobile, tablet, and desktop so I try to blend that with classic “just works / just here for the data” layouts and generally minimize the flash in favor of the content. In other words, my projects go to a lot of work to look that simple lol.

No one seems to know exactly what “modern” means when it comes to “modern design”. If you ask ten different developers, you get 11 different answers.

My rule of thumb when I see “modern design” touted as a feature is that the developer chose form over function at every turn.

I get what you’re saying and the “individual carbon footprint” is often used to blame shift to regular people just living their lives, but we do still have a carbon footprint. It may be a tiny, rodent-sized footprint compared to the Kaiju-sized ones of big industries, but our actions and choices do have an effect (especially collectively).

I just don’t like dismissing the individual carbon footprint as total propaganda because it’s not wrong (though I acknowledge it is abused). Dismissing it like that just puts out a defeatist “nothing I do matters” message when our individual choices do matter and add up.

Can you live a totally carbon-neutral life in the modern age? No, probably not. But we also shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater and do nothing.

Metric for most measurements except temperature (Fahrenheit - same reason you gave) and colloquial distances/velocities (e.g miles to the store, miles per hour).

As someone who is lactose intolerant but still loves cheese:

Yep, that’s the one.

I’ll reserve a phone but not a truck, lol. Looks like those are scheduled to be out late 2026, so probably at least next year before I can even think about getting my hands on one.

At least it’s still a thing.

I used to drive a 2004 Ranger and loved it. Would absolutely love an EV version even if the range isn’t super great. Mostly need a truck occasionally and for hauling stuff from the home improvement store or if I find furniture at a garage sale or something.

Need to check and see if that $20,000 no-frills EV truck is making any progress.

I love that “banana for scale” is also applicable to radioactivity.

I never had one but they had them at school. Thought they were the coolest thing ever and also assumed digital because CDs were starting to become popular.

Absolutely.

It’s nowhere near this level of effort, but I have a 60’s wall-mount rotary phone wired to a Bluetooth=>POTS adapter. So not only do I have a retro phone in my house, but it actually works.

The saddest part of the video, in meme format:

“What if it won’t turn off?”

“What if it won’t turn back on?”

“What if the valve just snaps off and sprays everywhere?”

Yep, I understand completely.

And the auto-submitting TOTP entry form where you’re apparently not allowed to make a typo. And obscuring the TOTP number like it’s a password or state secret.
