excessive purple and gradients

cards, cards, cards, cards

doesn't just X, emdash, it [SUPER Y]

more cards

ridiculous awful contrast in copy that makes things unreadable (grey on black etc)

firtoz··on Bun's unreleased Rust port has 13,365 unsafe blocks
> Bun's Rust port has not shipped in a released build yet. The Bun you install today still runs the original Zig implementation. This audit is the pre-release pass over the port.

That's good to see. I was getting a bit worried but now feeling better about it.

I guess they'll be able to vibecode a replacement pretty quickly

firtoz··on Android now stops you sharing your location in photos
Pretty good. I test it every now and then from random photos. Sometimes spot on, sometimes gets very close, unless it's really ambiguous.

firtoz··on When Do We Become Adults, Really?
I can't access the article so I will respond to only the title.

I use a rough threshold of how much responsibilities they can, or, have to endure, and manage to take care of in a good enough way.

firtoz··on AI overly affirms users asking for personal advice
Was it a blatantly bad idea or was it some risk that triggered that would have been beyond your typical risk threshold otherwise?

firtoz··on Illinois Introducing Operating System Account Age Bill
It's kinda convenient because every service needs to ask you for the age now because they can't serve under 13s in a lot of cases. Having it be a simple API would be a decent convenience, no?

If you connect it with a permission system where you can choose whether to provide this information (e.g. >13 as a bool or age as an integer or the birthday as a date) that can't be too bad I guess?

I haven't read the whole thing of course.
