Not OP but guessing: easier to build/test/debug in Chrome for starters, and if it gains traction try to fix cross-browser bugs. Especially if this is a 1 person show.

Was anyone hurt? Does anyone care? The original post was fun, and this is even funnier.

Wait, is this confirmed that it's removed only in the EU? I've seen "reports" on Twitter (never gonna call it X) but nothing official.

First they need to slim down the hardware offering. I can't even recommend an iPad to family members anymore, because there are so many of them with minor differences. Same for the phones. Even the MBP line is now convoluted with MBP14 getting the baseline M3 processor.

Hey, my Slav neighbour charges his Model 3 that way!
Now, in all seriousness, EVs are for houses, not apartment buildings. If you have a driveway, and want an EV - by all means go for one.
But if you live in an apartment block where it's hard to even find parking after 7pm, then stick to ICE now.

People said Sam was irreplaceable and then we wasn’t?

So basically own nothing and be happy? What then drives people to create any meaningful value to the economy?
bnt | 2 years ago | on: My Brain Doesn’t Picture Things
I can’t picture objects or colour, but have vivid dreams. Also it’s normal for me to hold conversations with myself in my head. Post-covid I had a few days with no inner “voice” and it was terribly lonely.
bnt | 2 years ago | on: Rails 7.1 Released
I recently set up a new Win11 laptop and all it took was download Node and install it via the installer. You’re up and running in 90 seconds. Yarn was another 30 seconds (npm i yarn). Even Ruby works well with RubyInstaller, and you can normally develop Rails without WSL if you really want to.

This is obviously not a popular opinion, but: I think this is great news. In the world of Meta dominating social media (+ TikTok now de facto in 2nd spot), we need diversity in the field.
Twitter (X) definitely changed in the past year, but I see it as a positive change (maybe it's my bubble) - my tech feed is no longer polluted by people fighting about left vs right, Trump etc, my feed is now tech people sharing tech-related content and I love it.

I see this with course creators as well. I reported dozens of errors in a particular corse and the creator was literally annoyed at me.

Why did we abandon XSLT?

Good, more companies need to fight back crazy UK demands. Blocking MS<>Activision deal, because they think they are a global superpower.

> A missing person was found after a drone pilot from Croatian Mountain Rescue Service noticed his legs moving in a ditch.
Either amazing zoom and lenses on that drone, or the pilot has great eyesight. Either way, interesting story and glad to hear a life was saved.

bnt | 2 years ago | on: Google Street View returns to Germany after 10 Years
As an inexperienced and anxious driver (from a tiny suburban / village area / town), Street View (and its alternatives) are god sent to me.
I up front plan my trip, every twist and turn, especially in densely populated areas. I'm not used to driving in dense urban environments with multi-lane streets, so knowing what's gonna happen, when, and how it's going to look is immensely important to me to keep my anxiety under control.
