Elidrake24··on Toyota is taking the Corolla electric
Good news! https://www.theverge.com/transportation/994875/gm-chevy-gmc-...
Elidrake24··on GPS glitched across the US by as much as 33 feet
> Not today. November 2025. They don't make it clear.

My brother in christ it's the first 3 words of the article.

Elidrake24··on Suica, Japan's First IC Transit Card
https://japantravel.navitime.com/en/

Allows you to specify up front what passes you have, worked brilliantly on our honeymoon, especially when figuring out which Shinkansen reservations we needed to make.

Elidrake24··on OpenLogi
Isn't all of the code in browser rather than serverside, so a simple Command + S would future proof yourself?
Elidrake24··on We moved our Bluesky data to Eurosky
...As opposed to Twitter where I was banned for expressing an opinion that wasn't in line with the site owner's personal opinions. At least with Bluesky, you can opt out of their moderation.
Elidrake24··on Steam Machine launches today
It isn't difficult to fact check this; the markup is ~$80 from what I can buy independently, not factoring in general extra cost for mini-pc parts.
Elidrake24··on Networking changes coming in macOS 27
And soon I won't be able to run old 32bit binaries with the latest Linux Kernel. We all move on.
Elidrake24··on Teenage Engineering's PO-32 acoustic modem and synth implementation
Sure, but being able to share the 'data dump' at the end of a Youtube Video is so much more fun/likely to be used.

Elidrake24··on The Appalling Stupidity of Spotify's AI DJ
Sure, and a simple random number generator will use significantly fewer resources for the same desired result.
Elidrake24··on I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job
A Human Interviewer can be held responsible for their actions, a machine, so far, cannot. Outside of the potential for cutting costs, abdication of responsibility is the number one reason we're looking to adopt these systems.
Elidrake24··on Anki ownership transferred to AnkiHub
The App uses the Mac Text element rather than a custom one, so it'll have the same shortcuts as all of them; `⇧ Shift ⌥ Option ⌘ Command V` to paste and match the formatting of the current field (in the case of a blank field, remove formatting).
Elidrake24··on Clicks Communicator
Hell yeah it is. They've found some success with their cases, and I'm excited to switch to their new magnetic keyboard for horizontal portable work, but I do worry this is a moonshot that will sink them.
Elidrake24··on Pricing Changes for GitHub Actions
Monorepo, though Gitlab, self-hosted runner, 41 hours in the last week.
Elidrake24··on Paged Out
There's an RSS feed that is exposed in the standard manner (link tag in head), precisely what you're looking for. They do not offer a paid subscription, just the option to 'buy' individual issues, which is also linked under every issue.
Elidrake24··on Movie posters from Ghana in the 1980s and 90s
I can appreciate where you're coming from in general, but this article isn't that. All Headlines suck, by their nature they have to cater to the lowest common denominator in who they assume their audience is, so we're using the headline to place an unfamiliar country in a continent that is familiar enough, at least in name.
Elidrake24··on AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1
If you were dependent upon a single distribution (region) of that Service, yes it would be a massive single point of failure in this case. If you weren't dependent upon a particular region, you'd be fine.
Elidrake24··on Attention is a luxury good
Have people forgotten what a bookmark is? https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions

And once on a video, suggestions cannot be seen in Cinema Mode, which can be made the default. Still have the ones at the end of the video I suppose, though they show up inconsistently for me, so might be a channel creator setting.

Elidrake24··on I built an app to organize Kindle highlights (and physical book quotes too)
You can; the author just hasn't implemented it. Import directly from your Amazon account is supported in Klib https://klib.me
Elidrake24··on Apple restricts Pebble from being awesome with iPhones
Other users want a secure design without the ability to shoot oneself in the foot, such is the reason for a market where you have the alternative choice in Android.
Elidrake24··on The California job-killer that wasn't
Also true in central Wisconsin where there isn't a law such as this, for what it is worth.
Elidrake24··on I Stopped Using Kubernetes. Our DevOps Team Is Happier Than Ever
Which in many cases would break SOC2 compliance (co-mingling of development and customer resources), and even goes against the basic advice offered in the K8s manual. Beyond that, this limits your ability to test Control Plane upgrades against your stack, though that has generally been very stable in my experience.

To be clear I'm not defending the 47 Cluster setup of the OP, just the practice of separating Development/Production.

Elidrake24··on macOS Sequoia is available today
You do not, providing you have given permission previously. Most Video Conferencing solutions have you test your hardware prior to joining a call, so shouldn't be an invasive issue.
Elidrake24··on How CD pregaps gained their hidden track superpowers
Very Proud of Ya: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_albums_with_tracks_h...
Elidrake24··on Microsoft was blindsided by OpenAI's ouster of CEO Sam Altman
So have you learned anything about arrogantly talking out of your ass or nah?
Elidrake24··on Clairnote: An alternative music notation system
What's great is I'm not even sure which one you're disparaging; they both "just work" and stay out of my way.
Elidrake24··on Facebook says Apple iOS privacy change will result in $10B revenue hit this year
They applied to Apple before they applied to third party apps: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202074
Elidrake24··on Fingerprints can be hacked
Just hit the power button 5 times on my iPhone 13 Pro, and it locked down FaceID as I'd expect (while bringing up the Reset/Power Off screen). You've described an alternative method, not the only.
Elidrake24··on Photoshop’s journey to the web
It's pretty clear you haven't worked in that industry. Per your logic, no one should have that issue now, you can sell your games on your own site without issue (in fact you can sell your own Steam keys without the 30% fee).
Elidrake24··on Apple rejects developer's horoscope app, says App Store has enough
You aren’t the market. Apple has curated a user base that prefers the exact opposite; I land among them. If it isn’t for you, then avoid it.

That it is a more lucrative market than what Android had built with their more open ended approach is an interesting look at what the general public prefers from their mobile devices.

Personally, I’m not looking for my phone to be a side project, I want it to work without putting in any effort.

Elidrake24··on Intuit to Acquire Mailchimp for $12B
Should have guessed when Mailchimp, after so many years of supporting the arts, suddenly and unceremoniously dropped Longform.
