SlackingOff123··on The Future of CSS
OP might be referring to using React together with a UI library that comes with elements like <Grid>, instead of using just React + CSS grid.
SlackingOff123··on Discover vibe-coded alternatives to popular software
Oh, wow. I'm no pro, but I must've spent at least a hundred hours playing surf maps, and too me it feels exactly like the original. Really impressive.

Minus points for Fullscreen not working in Firefox.

SlackingOff123··on F-Droid 2.0
What? It only stays enabled for exactly 1 hour after the 24 hour timer? I was under the impression that it would stay enabled permanently after waiting the 24 hours once.
SlackingOff123··on Cursor Camp
No, I don't think so.

I can't get the 17th shell :(
SlackingOff123··on Office.eu launches as Europe's sovereign office platform
Looks like a reasonable cookie banner to me: Deny (all), Custom selection and Accept all.

It even works perfectly with Consent-O-Matic extension.

SlackingOff123··on UK House of Lords attempting to ban use of VPNs by anyone under 16
Do you want a citation for an opinion?
SlackingOff123··on The iFixit App Is Here
And a vehicle for selling FixBot - the AI repair expert.
SlackingOff123··on Show HN: AI toy I worked on is in stores
Moral implications of LLM aside, this is an always-online, subscription-based toy that will eventually turn into a brick (unless the parent is an HN-er). I find it really sad that this kind of toy is sold in stores.

Yeah, I wish it accepted hjkl.
SlackingOff123··on The Rise and Fall of Music Ringtones: A Statistical Analysis
I haven't set up a custom ringtone in years since I don't receive that many calls nowadays, but I having been setting up the "Hey!" notification sound from the Google Nexus phone on all my newer, non-Google phones that followed it.
SlackingOff123··on Show HN: I wrote a modern Command Line Handbook
Page 12 of the example pdf ends with "On Linux, the PATH looks something like this:", but then there's no PATH example shown.
SlackingOff123··on Ask HN: How do you make a living contributing to and/or creating OSS projects?
I haven't thought about trying to earn from OSS myself, but I'm curious to see how Jimmy Bogard - who recently announced this intention - is going to handle it.

SlackingOff123··on Launch HN: Continue (YC S23) – Create custom AI code assistants
I use the Continue extension in both IntelliJ and VSCode and it's great. Although, I'm just connecting it to my own providers and not using your hub. So I'm more of a free-loader of the extension than a Continue customer. Anyway, thank you!
SlackingOff123··on Underware 2.0 – Open Source Infinite Cable Management
I've been looking for a reason to buy a 3d printer and I think I've finally found it!

Anyone care to recommend some suitable (and beginner friendly) printers?

SlackingOff123··on YouTube DRM added on ALL videos with TV (TVHTML5) clients
I like the new features you added. I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
SlackingOff123··on YouTube DRM added on ALL videos with TV (TVHTML5) clients
That seems to be just what I was looking for. Thanks!

> using yt-dlp to download my subscriptions, convert them to mp3 and host the podcast feeds inside my local network

Hey! I've just had the thought of doing this myself the other day. Do you mind sharing what tools you're using, besides yt-dlp? For example, what are you using to host and generate the rss feed (if that's what you're doing)?

SlackingOff123··on Bitwarden Authenticator
I personally switched to using 2FAS[0]. My favorite feature is that it comes with a browser extension that can automatically fill in the OTP on web forms, after approving the request on the phone app.

SlackingOff123··on Show HN: SQL Noir – Learn SQL by solving crimes
I agree. I also wish it was possible to run multiple queries in the same window e.g.:

  select * from crime_scene;
  select * from suspects;
SlackingOff123··on Solaar is a Linux manager for many Logitech keyboards, mice, and other devices
I haven't found a way to reconfigure the side buttons on my Logitech Lift Vertical without that bloated software permanently running in the background on Windows. I'm honestly afraid to check how much it phones home.

I wish Solaar got ported to Windows.

SlackingOff123··on What Is Vim?
Both the VSCode vim extension and the IdeaVIM plugin for Intellij support surround. There's still some plugins that I miss in those implementations, but both projects are gradually adding support for more.
SlackingOff123··on Steam releases new built-in recording feature
I did so because ShadowPlay was so unreliable. It would just randomly stop working and, when it did work, more often than not the footage it would save would have its audio desynced gradually towards the end for the last minutes.

I've been using Steam's recording feature since beta and it works quite well. One disadvantage (or advantage depending on how you look at it) is that it doesn't save raw footage, but only already compressed video which makes editing more difficult. I'm hoping they introduce the option to choose how it's saved in the future.

SlackingOff123··on Show HN: I built the most over-engineered Deal With It emoji generator
In the Discord API, "servers" are called "guilds" which I assume it was the original name for them when they started developing the platform. Don't know why they decided to change it.
SlackingOff123··on Testing the Firefox Alternatives
There are sooo many AI chat options to choose from[1] that I don't need my browser to provide one too. I just want my browser to be a good browser.

[1] I've been enjoying my self-hosted instance of LibreChat a lot, but I also started using Kagi's assistant lately. Besides those two I'm also using 'aichat' cli tool for quick queries, particularly for helping with cli commands since the context is already there.

SlackingOff123··on Show HN: Infinity – Realistic AI characters that can speak
Oh, this is amazing! I've been having so much fun with it.

One small issue I've encountered is that sometimes images remain completely static. Seems to happen when the audio is short - 3 to 5 seconds long.

SlackingOff123··on Aerc: A well-crafted TUI for email
It is indeed possible to reorder the regular folders as well. It's just not a favorites specific feature.
SlackingOff123··on Aerc: A well-crafted TUI for email
In Outlook, adding a folder to "favorites" creates another reference to the folder in the favorites list; it doesn't change the all-folders view under the account.
SlackingOff123··on Praise My GitHub Profile
I could see it being a lot funnier if all the praise was sarcastic.
