The best advice is to be on communities on as many servers as possible. You can’t really obtain “political neutrality” heavy-handed-ly but in aggregate by getting as many viewpoints as possible it will be neutral in aggregate

 

A really good explanation that I felt deserved to be highlighted.

In this exhausting phase with one of my 4 year olds where he won’t sit down to eat his supper. Every evening meal is a battle where he refuses to eat for a half hour before he finishes half his plate and can get up finally an hour later

If they can’t get the headset to fit the size and weight of swimming goggles, I don’t think it can get mass adoption

Gabe doesn’t have the wrist strength the strangle anyone. Also he’s too fat, nobody will like him if he’s too fat.

It’s definitely the smaller viewports that give the most trouble, and as I am a stubborn mini phone user, I make sure that my projects are responsive to smaller screen sizes.

The other part is that I’m not a front end dev, so these are just my personal projects and I don’t know all the hacks to really optimize layouts on smaller screen sizes.

I just want another mini phone, it’s nice they are making them lighter but I want something I can use with one hand. Not a brick that’s been sliced slightly thinner. I want another iPhone mini with usb c and better battery life

Neat, just what I would expect from user @[email protected]

Apple TV is the only set top box that doesn’t show you ads and sell your watch data up and down a river. The battery life on Apple silicon laptops are unmatched and it’s a better OS than windows by far and the big desktop environment packages on Linux don’t match it either (It also doesn’t feel right not just using terminal/bash on Linux for me either, GUIs are overrated)

Lastly I feel better about my data privacy using the full Apple ecosystem compared to using Google’s full ecosystem. (But will admit using an open source rom focused on privacy and disconnect from any cloud service would be the most effective, I do want some level of convenience )

The half-price laptops have 1/4th the battery life of an m1 which is the other reason OP likes it

At first glance the rules seem to make sense and be straightforward until you start dabbling into screen size responsiveness and display and layout rules and then you get into questions like “what the hell is flex box and how is it different from flex. Why is this element randomly wrapping, selector specificity is joke and everything’s made up and the rules don’t matter.

I don’t hate you Bobby

CSS was designed by someone truly deranged. I hate front end so much

Afterplay.io now has retroachievements support!

Afterplay.io is a web-based retro gaming emulator with support for SNES, GB, GBC and GBA (Premium includes support for even more consoles including N64, PS1, and DS).

The latest update just added retroacheivements support. As far as I know, it’s the only emulator that supports them on iOS that doesn’t require sideloading.

I’m looking for a recommendation for making gifs on iOS. Preferably one that lets you add text and with the option to remove the watermark with a one time purchase instead of a subscription.

Does this community have any advice? I tried a bunch on the App Store but there’s literally dozens and most of them either don’t let you add text or have like a $20 a minute subscription or obnoxious ads with no option to remove

NFL DRAFT MEGATHREAD (self.fantasyfootball)
submitted 2 months ago by TORFdot0 to c/fantasyfootball
 

The draft starts tonight. Some pretty good WRs and QBs in this draft and trades to be made that will shake up things in fantasy for sure

Leave your comments below!

 

I know that the source is more focused on retro gaming as a topic but the topic of this post is Google and its pagerank algorithm which is more appropriate for this community.

We’ve all noticed the enshittification of Google Search over the last few months, but it’s still hard to hear how it is affecting content creators and putting them out of business so we can see 20 AI generated spam pages about whatever our query is.

Opening Day! (self.kcroyals)

Royals and Twins. Currently top of the 8th down 2-1, Royals need to find their bats if we are going to pull of a W on opening day

 

I conquered Koholint island finally! I really enjoyed my time playing Link’s Awakening. I can’t believe they fit a whole Legend of Zelda game on Gameboy! I really enjoyed it

I ended up getting stuck trying to get the bird key. I could not figure out how to get the flying rooster. I tried bombing the weather cock, lifting the weather cock, pulling, using the hook shot, using the magic rod, digging every tile in mabe village, getting the boomerang, giving back the boomerang, tried every key item I could think of. I ended up beating level 8 before level 7. I even made this map of the entire game in google sheets to try to figure it out.

Tap for spoilerTurns out you can just push the statue

Oh well, I don’t count it as time waste. If anything else it was a great excuse to keep playing. I’ve never played a 3D Zelda before so I am looking forward to OoT

 

I hope a little self promotion is ok. Thanks to all of your help a few weeks ago, I was able to get an RSS feed set up for my blog. For reasons I still don't fully understand, a year and a half ago, when I moved my personal website from github and Azure App Services to Google Sites; I decided to just hack Google Sites into a blog rather than do the logical thing and start a blog on Wordpress or Blogger.

As I was documenting the process of hosting a feed using Google Drive and automating it with Google Apps Script, I decided to turn it into a full blog post on the journey I took to get things working.

If you do have some morbid curiosity on the actual steps to take to host, automate, and update RSS using Google Apps, I do have a full guide with instructions but can't say I recommend doing things this way to anyone but the truly delusional.

The whole post is about a 20 minute read. Despite having started my blog 18 months ago, this is only my 11th post, I'm still kind of new. I'd appreciate feedback for anyone that would be willing to offer it.
