Xiol··on Sins of the Children
I had much the same experience, coming out of it with much less fear about jumping spiders in particular. Now they don't really bother me.

Didn't really do much for all the other species though!

Xiol··on Crypto grifters are recruiting open-source AI developers
I have some bad news...

One way or another, this is saying a lot about you.

Another thing to add to the list of reasons why I'm not upgrading.

But CMD is generally used instead of control, and at least in my case, with the thumb rather than pinky. Different muscle memory.
Xiol··on UK Orders Ofcom to Explore Encryption Backdoors
> It starts with child abuse material, because who’s going to defend not catching that?

After the recent X CSAM generation arguments and the potential for X to get blocked in the UK, it seems like more people than I expected will defend it.

Xiol··on The Arctic Is in Dire Straits, 20 Years of Reporting Show
Slowly at first, then all at once.

No one - no thing - is coming to save us.

Xiol··on Dagger: Define software delivery workflows and dev environments
Do you have any more details on using Cue with GHA? I've also looked at Dagger and been quite disappointed with it (and their terrible documentation).
Xiol··on YouTube's CEO limits his kids' social media use – other tech bosses do the same
You clearly don't have children.
Xiol··on iPhone Typos? It's Not Just You – The iOS Keyboard Is Broken [video]
Exactly the same here. I've considered switching from Android multiple times and the two things that always stop me are notifications and the keyboard.

No long-press punctuation, no switch.

I also can't trust Apple to let 3rd party keyboards work smoothly everywhere, so that's not really an option I'm willing to take the risk on.

Doesn't solve the notifications either.

Xiol··on Show HN: A 2-row, 16-key keyboard designed for smartphones
So vibe coded slop that clearly hasn't been reviewed is going to have access to all my input.

Interesting idea, but that's a pass from me.

Such as?
Xiol··on Apple is crossing a Steve Jobs red line
> you can just tell the AI (with a voice command) what you want to do

I would rather stop using computers all together.

Xiol··on Apple's "notarisation" – blocking software freedom of developers and users
I struggled with a similar problem recently. You can use osslsigncode to sign Windows binaries from Linux. It is also possible, with some pissing about, to get everything to work hands off.

In the end we went with Digicert Keylocker to handle the signing, using their CLI tool which we can run on Linux. For our product we generate binaries on the fly when requested and then sign them, and it's all done automatically.
