brettermeier··on Have you restarted your computer this week?
That is no longer up to date, Windows doesn't do it anymore (forced "random" updates with restart), at least in my experience. And I use it daily.
brettermeier··on Nintendo has raised its employees base salary by 10%
That's what I think I get... So few, I don't even bother to look how much more it is...
brettermeier··on Godot will no longer accept AI-authored code contributions
Do those AI contributors really think they are helping out? Don't they get, that they are destroying such projects with their "work"? Why do they spend money for stuff nobody wants and gets rejected. I don't get it... Don't these people have any hobbies? Or are these free-roaming OpenClaw instances that have been forgotten by their creator and are now doing their own thing?
brettermeier··on Never Give Them Your Face
In germany there was a short time period during the pandemic where shops and some grocery stores denied entry without a prove of vaccination. Here's a small headline form that time: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-59501192

brettermeier··on Public Domain Image Archive
Unfortunately, the infinite scroll page doesn't work very well... but this one scrolls normal and doesn't open random pages, and it seems to be the same stream of picutures: https://pdimagearchive.org/galleries/all/random/desc
brettermeier··on Kiki – a tiny homepage construction kit with a small footprint
Fair enough, I'd say for niche content it may be okay, but for targeting broader audiences I'd guess you lose many readers with that readability on fullscreen browser windows (what most people will have in front of them while surfing I guess).

Some things are a standard, and thats a good thing... Line lenghts discussed here for example: https://baymard.com/blog/line-length-readability

Do you think I will resize my browser window just because you fucked up your layout? No, I will leave.

The text flows over the whole width is one point, the paddings and margins is another one. Sure, you can read this if you really want, but it's painful.

brettermeier··on Disagreement among frontier LLMs on real-world fact-checks
You're probably right, but since Google Search displays an AI-generated answer as the first result, most people end up using this feature more often than they originally intended. It's there now, and it will likely replace traditional search for the general public. Not entirely, but perhaps to a large extent.

Edit: corrected bad spelling with AI XD

But people use it for that. So what's your point?

brettermeier··on Removable batteries in smartphones will be mandatory in the EU starting in 2027
