Don't have any metrics or anything, but I use both, and anecdotally, I feel like Sublime is snappier and gives me better battery life.

TIL what `fn()` actually means.

Pretty sure it's just because if the tool generates the commit, it auto-adds itself as co-author. Like the iPhone emails that say "sent from iPhone"

Commodore Callback, maybe?

You say that as if this wasn't completely to plan. The release of the first airpods and the first iPhone sans headphone jack were at the same time. It was brute-forced.

fwiw, they have said they are only starting with the flagships, and work down from there: https://xcancel.com/GrapheneOS/status/2037927786803765328#m

I think I saw another post some other time that it was because only particular snapdragon chips support the features they need?

Somewhat related, but I bought a "minimalist phone" recently, and there are edges everywhere (for example, the most recent is not supporting adding a contact from a .vcf file someone texted me). Some features make a phone feel MORE minimalist, by erasing edges.

Maybe my understanding of minimalism is different from other people, but my experience makes me feel that maybe there are a significant number of "minimalist" or "distraction-free" brands that are really just using it as a justification to sell incomplete products, rather than products that are minimal with intentionality.

I'd guess it's likely battery and size consideration.

Man that's the coolest part of this brand. It's so awesome to just be able to say "I will probably get the fingerprint reader" and just leave it at that.

idk. Not the dev, but for me it's seemed pretty correlated to cloudiness.

Been using https://sundial.page recently for weather

jfc. hold me back.

I mean, this was from a physical therapist at Kaiser Permanente, pinched nerves and referred pain are real things, and whatever happened fixed it for me, so idk? My guess is that it sounds like something a chiropractor would say because they tend to over-attribute pain in general to be referred pain from spinal misalignment? But idk much about chiropractic things.

I feel like wrist pain can have many different causes. I'm a climber and programmer, and I had pretty bad wrist pain for a bit. Went to the physical therapist, and after poking around a bit, she was like "yeah idk if this is actually a wrist issue. I think it might be referred pain from a pinched nerve higher up". Told me to try and sit with better posture, and gave me some tendon glide exercises. Wrist pain went away in like a week or two.

I moved my code off Cloudflare just because I got frustrated on other people's websites. Being the change I want to see, I guess?

Eh, I'd probably leave music off that list. Even mainstream music releases are still pretty easy to buy DRM-free via services like Qobuz, even if the majority of people are using streaming platforms these days. Although I wonder if that's maybe just because music seems like it would be pretty easy to sidestep DRM, even if they do come up with some kind of innovation (heck, even my friend told me he pirated my album... WHICH IS FREE, BTW).

But e-books? Holy crap the drm on those things is soooooo annoying to avoid.

I mean, LLMs are just imitating prior work, no? Poor designer probably feels like the people who liked using em dashes.

i mean fwiw can prolly include direct script tag using something like https://esm.sh

I use both. Tangled is missing some important features (private repos, protected branches). The ui feels more comfy to me, though. And Codeberg is quite slow for me.

Idk if I can give you toooo much about migration, since I haven't used any CICD kind of stuff; just having repos to push to is super simple if you use their hosted knots. Also not too complicated to host a knot yourself; I'm hosting my own knot, and I like that I own at least one of the servers that I'm pushing code to.

I feel like I'd be more comfortable with subscriptions if accounts weren't consistently required for everything. I don't particularly like everything I do being tied to an email or phone or whatever. And all those accounts are consistently a pain in the butt to delete.

Despite their recent news, I do prefer the way Mullvad has done it re this: "Here's an id. If you make a payment, it funds that id.". Then you can use the id to login. They can still enforce limits like # of users, etc, but it still enables you to have an account where you can be sure the company isn't going to ignore your unsubscribe settings, send you upsells, and then leak your phone # in some db breach.

I didn't dig too deeply into it, because explicitly storing locally just gives a bit more control. Also, since I was kind of imitating the style of Organic Maps, I wanted to give the ability to download entire tiles. I view caching responses more like a performance enhancement, whereas I wanted explicit offline support.

What can I say? Bens like maps I guess.

FWIW, I have an experimental open-source implementation of offline-capable PWA protomaps. Haven't advertised it much, because I haven't sorted out performance (particularly on mobile), and it's a bit buggy still. Also, don't have cache invalidation. But it does work. Usually. xD

With a name like "Golem", I could see a more earthy color scheme with a much more subtle (essentially unnoticeable) use of gradients feeling real nice with this product.

fwiw, currently moving my music to subvert.fm. In the past, Bandcamp has been the first place I pointed people. But have slowly felt more and more uncomfortable with it ever since the initial Epic acquisition.

Neal.fun AND Josh posts in the same week?? The whimsy is strong rn.

I mean the opposite of that is like the one time where I was meeting a friend at something like 7th avenue (or some # I don't remember), and accidentally went to 7th street... on the other side of the city. You don't forget to pay close attention after that xD.

yup yup I also came here for electronics/digital audio without finishing reading the title. DAC is super standard to read in those spaces.

Motorola + Graphene coming 2027. I'm at least waiting to see what comes of that before making any decisions on my next phone.

It was actually due to this that I tried to close my Robinhood account (that was never used), and realized... it's actually not possible. I tried to invoke CCPA, and over a 19 email thread, got frustrating and contradictory replies, such as when I asked how to end my relationship with Robinhood (per their privacy policy, they keep data up to 5 years after the relationship ends):

"When your account is deactivated, you and others can no longer use it to trade or transfer, but the account still exists, and we still treat your relationship as ongoing."

"closing your account ends your active brokerage relationship"

And then when I asked them to clarify which of these is accurate, they sent me a generic non-answer.
