lloydatkinson··on California lawmakers unanimously pass Linux exemption from age-verification law
You sound like a SystemD developer.
lloydatkinson··on Ask HN: Resources to get good at soldering?
Just solder?
lloydatkinson··on In defense of two-state theme toggles
I started using computers in the era where customisation and user preferences were “allowed” by software companies. Think the Windows 98 or even Windows 7 theme dialog vs modern Windows. I personally reject this seemingly forced binary choice of light and dark.

Because of this for my site I have four themes, light, summer sunshine, forest, and dark. I’ve seen some sites where the theme is an RGB colour picker even.

In regards to the article, that’s a lot of consternation and frustrating statements about toggles and tri-state toggles. A simple button with a dynamic icon works well as soon as you want to cycle through more than two choices.

The people making PRs like this. Clearly,
lloydatkinson··on Select * from Internet.blogposts
I don't understand the premise, is this saying short form posts (dare I call them Tweets) on Bluesky are somehow a replacement for long form blog posts?
lloydatkinson··on Doctors are finally learning to manage antidepressant withdrawal
Well this would be an improvement over my former NHS GP practice deciding the best way for me to come off antidepressants was immediately stopping them without renewing the prescription or even discussing it with me! I think they just forgot to renew the prescription.
lloydatkinson··on Walgit – a Git server that is one binary in front of an object store
Even the README… ugh.

> no state that matters

lloydatkinson··on Claudette: Make Claude stop talking like a BuzzFeed article
What system prompt did you use?
lloydatkinson··on Using the railway network as a flatbed scanner
I think someone did something similar for passing trains. Does anyone remember?
lloydatkinson··on 2,085 Tests, and None of Them Opens the Front Door
> Opens the front door

This is the most recent AI slop phrase the models produce, keep an eye out you'll see it everywhere.

lloydatkinson··on WhatCable: Know what your USB-C cable can do
Are you suggesting there is no middle ground and that simply knowing if a USB-C cable is a USB C cable or a fake one can't be done with a cheap tester?
lloydatkinson··on Choose Boring Technology (2015)
The "content not viewable in your region" images really sets the tone.
lloydatkinson··on Software for One
I care.
lloydatkinson··on Software for One
The article is also obviously written by Claude too. I’m starting to hate the internet.
lloydatkinson··on VMs can't boot with Network Mode set to Bridged on Apple M5 Pro machines
Like that probably still open huge github issue with hundreds of comments, the one about how docker will blow your firewall wide open.
lloydatkinson··on Show HN: I made some transistor animations
This is one of the coolest animation/diagrams I've ever seen, I wish they had them when I did this at uni. It sure beats whiteboards with scribbles and arrows all over it...
lloydatkinson··on Ghost Cut – Or why Cut and Paste is broken everywhere
At first I thought this was going to be the widely reported problem where despite copying something many times it still won't be there in the clipboard. I've even developed a habit of CTRL+C-ing half a dozen times from Chrome just to ensure it really worked.
lloydatkinson··on Original Apollo 11 Guidance Computer source code for command and lunar modules
Given the constant launch delays how could they justify hard coding a 15 day window like this?
lloydatkinson··on How GitHub gave every repository a durable owner
I don't know how I feel about this. Ingenious perhaps. But then again, being assigned some absolute slop riddled with tech debt arbitrarily could be particularly cruel.
lloydatkinson··on LG monitors silently install software through Windows Update without consent
I suppose so?
lloydatkinson··on LG monitors silently install software through Windows Update without consent
That's the second time, probably more, you've been saying this in the thread. Blaming users for "buying" Windows is ridiculous too.
lloydatkinson··on LG monitors silently install software through Windows Update without consent
I'm still angry at how they ruined Overwatch
lloydatkinson··on Rebuilding My Homelab with Compose, Ruby, IPv6, and No Kubernetes
Did you ever consider NixOS for your homelab?
lloydatkinson··on Converting colors in JavaScript at 6B operations per second
Ah is that the phrase for this bullshit, staccato? It's tiring to read.
lloydatkinson··on AI-generated videos to maximally drive a target brain region
There's actual real people working on this bullshit. Horrifying doesn't even come close.
lloydatkinson··on Why developers are ditching GitHub for Codeberg and self-hosting alternatives
This matches my experience of running a public mediawiki server. The bots (mostly Facebook/Meta) will for every single change fetch every single page again, over and over.

I can’t tell if it’s incompetence or malice.

lloydatkinson··on Decoding the obfuscated bash script on a Uniqlo t-shirt
I suppose, but my Debian didn’t seem to ship with it.
lloydatkinson··on We Got This Wrong. and We Are Fixing It
Without the context this isn't very interesting
lloydatkinson··on Decoding the obfuscated bash script on a Uniqlo t-shirt
Debian.
lloydatkinson··on Decoding the obfuscated bash script on a Uniqlo t-shirt
Are we really at the "redditor insult" type comments stage of HN now? There is nothing wrong with saying a piece of code is broken.
