Ooo, that looks fun

100%. I feel like the broad fediverse community is not a fan of generative AI

It’s all a huge mess… Apple is complying with the RCS spec, but isn’t using Google’s proprietary encryption method because it’s proprietary. Google also won’t open the API on Android to allow for 3rd party RCS apps. So until Google decides to abandon their stronghold over the encryption standard and API access, RCS will continue to suck from a privacy standpoint.

That’s pretty funny! ���

NOVEMBER 5TH WILL BE ONE OF THE DAYS IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA!

Just did that today. My apartment’s exterior door has the valves wide open. That’s explains why I hear everyone going in and out

In the US, anytime there is a crash, near miss, or other safety-related issue, the NTSB launches an investigation to determine the cause and ways to mitigate the issue from happening again. They also do this for certain highway accidents. These investigation leads to new rules and procedures that have saved countless lives and is integral to why air travel is as safe as it is today.

I would love to see the NTSB do more investigations into local traffic collisions, or at least delegate to state or local government bodies. I would love for those findings to dictate rules and regulations for safer road design. At this point, the prevalence of terrible road safety is a systemic issue that can and should be addressed by improved road design.

It’ll be rewritten in mdBook

No idea. I personally didn’t like it. I felt the time based sorting was more accurate for me

I’ve been using McFly to do my history searching. It’s pretty good. I recommend changing the default sort from rank to time though

Back when I was still doing JS stuff, switching to TS was so good for the developer experience. Yeah, there’s still JS jank, and types are not validated at runtime, which was a pain in the backend (pun intended), but still I much prefer it to vanilla JS

I ended up finding the CENTRALITE PEARL THERMOSTAT 3157100 used on eBay for about $30. It can either operate from the panel or through ZigBee, no WiFi. It is supported on Zigbee2MQTT. It works really great and I have had no problems with it. You can easily find a manual for it online too.

I was wondering why it was written in C++, but the FAQ already beat me to it.

Why build a new browser in C++ when safer and more modern languages are available?

Ladybird started as a component of the SerenityOS hobby project, which only allows C++. The choice of language was not so much a technical decision, but more one of personal convenience. Andreas was most comfortable with C++ when creating SerenityOS, and now we have almost half a million lines of modern C++ to maintain.

However, now that Ladybird has forked and become its own independent project, all constraints previously imposed by SerenityOS are no longer in effect. We are actively evaluating a number of alternatives and will be adding a mature successor language to the project in the near future. This process is already quite far along, and prototypes exist in multiple languages.

Glad to see they are open to using safer languages. C/C++ was great for its time, but we really need to move on from them.

Proton requires an account, which gives them some of your info, while Mullvad does not, giving you an anonymous account number instead.

If Proton really doesn’t log VPN traffic, then it doesn’t really matter. But since Mullvad does not have that same personal info, they would be unable to provide law enforcement or 3rd party data brokers any hard data aside from your IP if they wanted to.

Lol, it took me a while to realize it’s the compiler essentially saying “how high”.

To be fair, they are providing several services with it, along with the data hosting. Being verified also means you get boosted in search results, with comes with more downloads. So at least the cost can be somewhat justified. Whether it’s too much is valid for debate.

Did you mean Sozu instead of “Suzu”? I can’t find anything in “Suzu”

There’s a really good way to reduce speeding without dumb moves like this. Design the road for the speed you want. Most roads in the US are created first without speed limit concerns, only labeling them based on a weird metric of how fast cars drive through them. Then if they are going too fast, governments just put up more warning signs and call it a day.

There are many techniques in the road design handbook that can be used to make drivers subconsciously slow down for their own perceived safety. And it works! So let’s do more of that and less of this “make car beep” nonsense.

Dang it, I left my face at home

That’s definitely true. I’ve always liked the concept, but never bought into this hype around the speculation, which really gives it a bad name.

That’s why I think Monero is really the way forward to a good cryptocurrency. It’s price is fairly stable and makes more sense than Bitcoin in many ways. I’d use it more if there were more vendors using it. The most I’ve done with it is buy a Mullvad subscription.
