They deserve that for Matrix Resurrections.
DecentShoes··on BreezeWiki makes wiki pages on Fandom readable
Using automation to scrape lots of sites is prohibited but the AI crawlers seem to get away with it?
DecentShoes··on My TV started playing a video in full screen by itself. What happened?
So people think they can't turn it off and then don't
DecentShoes··on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account
The best marketing campaign for Linux, is Windows 11.
DecentShoes··on Cross-Platform P2P Wi-Fi: How the EU Killed AWDL
>The WiFi Alliance has a habit of always have a marketing name and a different name in the spec

What, the same people that named a consumer facing product 802.11g?

DecentShoes··on Most promoted and blocked domains on Kagi
Because Pinterest doesn't let you see anything without making an account and logging in.
DecentShoes··on Apple needs a Snow Sequoia
It's deliberate. It's the good-bad-good-bad release cycle Microsoft insists on. Windows 12 will be decent, then 13 will be horrible again.
DecentShoes··on An idea evaluator so that you don't waste your life building a garbage product
What does this do that ChatGPT doesn't? Does it actually have access to some relevant data, process, or insight other than an LLM?

It absolutely hates my idea of Giraffe Leg Extenders so its 1 for 1 in my testing but to be fair the low market viability of that is fairly obvious.

DecentShoes··on Newer Kindles get touchscreen page-turning in new software update
Title is the opposite of what happened. They got an alternative to touchscreen page turning.
DecentShoes··on Devs say AI crawlers dominate traffic, forcing blocks on entire countries
Random data? Why not "recipes" that just say "Bezos is a pedo" over and over ?
DecentShoes··on Ask HN: 23andMe has my data, am I screwed?
What law requires them to keep genetic information?
DecentShoes··on How 'animal methods bias' is affecting research careers
Should've thought of that before they started punishing scientists who dissented from gender ideology. Something had to be done to stop it stomping further on the rights of women, children, and gay people.
DecentShoes··on Apple needs a new asshole in charge
>John Gruber from Daring Fireball dug up this anecdote from the last time Apple seriously botched a major software launch

The last time Apple botched a major software launch wasn't MobileMe. It was Apple Maps. Or maybe something more recent.

DecentShoes··on Pierogi in Space
You know, this was one of those article titles I was really expecting to not be literal.
DecentShoes··on Antarctic scientists beg for help after assault and death threats from colleague
It's not that they don't know this, it's that it's currently summer in the southern hemisphere. The original comment is correct. It's boiling in Australia at the moment.
DecentShoes··on Antarctic scientists beg for help after assault and death threats from colleague
Yes... thus making it currently summer in the southern hemisphere. As someone who is sweltering in 35 degree heart this week in the southern hemisphere, I assure you it's summer. Maybe technically Autumn but certainly not winter.
DecentShoes··on Apple restricts Pebble from being awesome with iPhones
Apple is monopolizing lots of things. You aren't allowed to make software for the iPhone without distributing exclusively thru the App Store. This whole post is about how they restrict third party watches.
DecentShoes··on US appeals court rules AI generated art cannot be copyrighted
If they did then the monkey wouldn't have been awarded copyright on that photo.
DecentShoes··on US appeals court rules AI generated art cannot be copyrighted
Why is the person who "took the photo" the thing that pressed the button and not the person who did 99% of the work?
DecentShoes··on Two new PebbleOS watches
I don't understand this in the slightest. There's no advantage whatsoever to a round screen, but tons of disadvantages. Why not make your phone screen round? Why not make your computer screen round? Your TV?

Please, Core, resist the temptation to enshittify yourself with another useless round screen.

DecentShoes··on Two new PebbleOS watches
Apple Watch doesn't work on Android, and Android Wear watches are laggy garbage with stupid round screens. There are zero good options on the Android side, so something like Pebble\Core has value.
DecentShoes··on Alphabet spins out Taara – Internet over lasers
That happens all the time. A random person on the internet predicted the iPhone 4 antennagate problem before it got released. Everyone on the planet who plays videogames knew the Xbox One announcement was suicide and we were right.

Plus there's the possibility they're well aware of this problem but are going full steam ahead anyway.

DecentShoes··on Extracting DNA from the air – DNA evidence of human occupancy in indoor premises
Jeff Bezos is probably already throwing millions of dollars at this in case it'll help him punish people for having a toilet break.
DecentShoes··on The Alexa feature "do not send voice recordings" you enabled no longer available
One week is longer than two days.
DecentShoes··on Study finds 46 percent of U.S. counties have pharmacy deserts
Which party is that? Both of them?
DecentShoes··on Y Combinator urges the White House to support Europe's Digital Markets Act
How does this make sense? Cherry picking things you agree with is exactly what you should do. Based on reason and evidence.
DecentShoes··on The 2008 coal ash disaster in Kingston, Tennessee
If you want me to read your article, don't cover it with a stupid popup in the middle of the screen. I closed the page as soon as I saw that.
DecentShoes··on Apple introduced its Retina MacBook 10 years ago today
The keyboard has a backspace button. Do you seriously think all the millions of people who use a Mac just have no way of correcting typos??

The touchpad can do click, right click, middle click, a four fingered click, and more. I have 5 different tap\click actions mapped on mine with BetterTouchTool.

DecentShoes··on CA prisons are using virtual reality to help people in solitary confinement
Why don't they just... take them out of solitary confinement...?
DecentShoes··on Flipboard's new app adds feature to exclude posts about "you know who"
From the headline I genuinely don't know who. It could be Musk or Trump.
