And then someone posts your tiny hobby site to a popular forum and you get hugged to death. There are plenty of people who say they don’t like centralization (which is fair), and a lot who mention not using Cloudflare (which is fair), but there exists plenty of great reasons to use the tech whether you like it or not.

Instead we should be focused on what the alternatives are depending on your needs, recommending solutions to actual problems, rather than just yelling at the sky.

Those are just a few I’ve used in the past in enterprise settings, but there are a lot out there.

Does the 02 have a release date?

To add to that list, manufacturing does go wrong, the formula could’ve been off in the can you drank. Plus during manufacturing it’s possible for a teeny tiny pinhole to be made in your can, which will alter the taste more and more over time, and even evaporate some of the liquid causing an imbalance. You can squeeze the can a little to see if it has less resistance than other cans you have under pressure.

I’m gonna buy two for charity just because of this comment.

Following the advice of TC has made my dishes cleaner, so this insight doesn’t really matter to me personally. It’s good to do research and find answers, but pods just don’t work as well in my experience, while also being worse for the environment.

But yes, Cascade ActionPacs were a genuine innovation when they launched because the mix of powder and liquid was an actual improvement, and for reasons that are not particularly achievable with powders, because the funny look of pacs really does have a functional purpose.

Great if it works for some folks, maybe they’re not testing with enough variables to account for all water types, and all environmental conditions. Perhaps there are common situations not being accounted for due to the markets incessant need to build a single device marketed at everyone, where conditions will always vary.

I actually know a lot of people from where I went to high school who were treated this way…

Honestly we should just start a list we maintain, and then ask Sonarr/Radarr to offer a feature to pull from a URL of our choosing periodically. That way we can curate the blocklists as a collective rather than this manual bullshit.

I took one of the broken ones from my office, repaired it, and now it allows my dnd campaign to see the DM and all the other players reactions when playing remotely.

While I don’t know this is the case, I can say from experience that in large enterprise organizations compliance departments will and do actively prevent the release of features and even commits if they don’t comply.

While that’s not an excuse for challenging them, I could definitely see a stressed out mid level just trying to make there manager happy and move on with life.

Do you remember what you guys were using to burn millions of CDs at the time? Genuinely curious how it was done at that scale, as I think it was one of the biggest CD campaigns.

What the tech is being marketed as and what it’s capable of are not the same, and likely never will be. In fact all things are very rarely marketed how they truly behave, intentionally.

Everyone is still trying to figure out what these Large Reasoning Models and Large Language Models are even capable of; Apple, one of the largest companies in the world just released a white paper this past week describing the “illusion of reasoning”. If it takes a scientific paper to understand what these models are and are not capable of, I assure you they’ll be selling snake oil for years after we fully understand every nuance of their capabilities.

TL;DR Rich folks want them to be everything, so they’ll be sold as capable of everything until we repeatedly refute they are able to do so.

I go hunting many times a year and as you can imagine find myself surrounded by old birch forests from time to time.

I have yet to see a healthy group of birch trees. I even have birch on my property, and the only ones that are doing well are surrounded by anything other than birch.

You must not write much Kotlin then? It’s far more than sugar when a language fixes core issues in another.

It’s a modern, statically typed language that addresses many of Java’s longstanding limitations with robust type safety, expressive functional features, coroutine-based concurrency, and extensibility — all integrated natively. Interoperability with Java is a strength, not a sign of dependency.

Calling Kotlin merely syntactic sugar is like saying Swift is just Objective-C with prettier syntax — it misses the deep improvements in language design, safety, and developer experience.

If you think this is bad you should visit Mexico City. I don’t know who has the worst wiring in the world, but it’s like your photo, except 10x more tangled and everywhere you look you will find wires literally dangling in front of you while you walk down a street or cross walk. Who knows which ones are live.

Show me an Android app written in Java, and I’ll show you the line of developers ready to rewrite it in Kotlin.

Adam Savage has a video where they use the eufy to print onto glass (and many other materials). The result was pretty incredible, so I hope we see this become easier and easier.

It’s simply easier to exert control over society through private corporations than in the light of day with public goods and services. Especially when what you desire is of minority opinion.

Depends what you mean by depressing. But Lavender Town was for me since it was designed to be spooky and full of ghosts

A spot includes a downloadable file and accompanying metadata and is intended to be shared with other users. A spot can be compared to a traditional search engine index entry. However, the difference is that it is user-generated and is intended to help people identify, organize, and share content.

The layman would think of it as a file. So music, movies, text, whatever.

For those who are unfamiliar with the Spotweb client for Spotnet:

Spotweb is a Spotnet implementation in PHP. Spotnet only shows actual Spots - spots are manually created by humans which categorize them and provide an image and description for the spot. You cannot compare Spotweb with for example Newznab or other such systems as its a moderated and curated system with manual intervention.

This makes Spotweb slightly slower for new content but should most likely raise the bar on quality - depending on the Spotters.

Spotarr is an alternative client.
