Tried it and I love it. Good work! Have you considered hosting it on F-Droid?

Annoyingly, fetch does not support progress events and HTML / XML Document parsing, which are both supported by XMLHttpRequest, which Axios is based on.

Until you notice the carbon emissions on the top left.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Would you extend that argument to tabbed interfaces as well? Why should browsers support tabs (and an inconsistent interface by each vendor), when you can just open a new window instead?

Won't the fibres leading up to the operator and revealing their location not a threat?

That's assuming all interviewers are using AI. And if it's not immoral, why do it surreptitiously?

I don't use LLMs to filter out participants and I expect candidates not to use LLMs to cheat.

As an interviewer, I'm seeing a huge increase in proportion of candidates cheating surreptitiously during video interviews. And it's becoming difficult to suspect any wrong-doing unless you're very watchful by looking for academic responses to questions.

Why would anyone encourage building such a tool, I can't fathom.

GP's comment is probably a reference to this classic XKCD: https://xkcd.com/566/ (the last panel)

Uber in India gives me a different OTP for each ride. A different ride-hailing app I use occasionally uses a PIN tied to a user.

OTPs are a simple solution to fraudulent rides that it's surprising it's not implemented universally, given all the complaints in this thread.

I've disabled DRM on my Firefox browser.

Sheesh, we've come to a state where browsers can no longer be referred to as "user agents".

I feel similarities to the trolley problem[0].

While I agree with the sentiment, just out of curiosity, would you buy a Tesla if it meets your needs and even if you disapprove of Elon's actions?

I've not heard of XPrivacyLua, which is by the same author of the excellent NetGuard[0], which I've been using for years.

Interestingly XPrivacyLua is not supported anymore and the pro companion app will be removed from the Play store by Google because it uses the permission QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES.[1]

The main question for me is can ungoogled Chromium run uBlock Origin?

> Genuinely don't know why anyone would use it when you have perplexity, gemini, chatGPT search, etc. at your disposal.

And what did they get trained on in the first place?

The title made me think of the minimum number of photons detectable by human vision. Apparently, we can detect single photons:

Especially when you consider humans are animals too.

How does TypeSpec compare with Bru[0], the DSL used by Bruno? Why would I choose one over the other?

I continue to use TrebleShot[0] although it's repo is archived since it also enables browsing files using a Web browser. So you don't need to install it on the receiver side.

Does LocalSend also have this capability?

Plently of phones still do [0]. I've configured mine to operate all my devices at home.

Same here.

In addition, to prevent shadow profiles, I've blocked them on NextDNS, setup NetGuard[0] and Firefox with uBlock Origin on Android.

“twenty-five” is counted as a single word. I know because I once sent a telegram with such a number.

Looks at uBlock Origin. Yep, requests to convertkit.com and sonnet-events.vercel.app are blocked.

India is facing a different kind of indoctrination by state education — masquerading mythology as science:

I definitely wouldn't want this kind of "regulated" education for children.

Hasn't the supposed weirdness of the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment been debunked? Can someone in the field please confirm? I find contradictory videos on YouTube.

Coincidentally today I was daydreaming about such a system being built alongside the metro rail corridors of my city. Doesn't have to be pneumatic if built today, but such an automated system would certainly help move packages at an unimaginable speed within a congested city.

Glad to see alternatives but disappointed that Bruno does not support OpenAPI specification.

At my company, we hand-edit OpenAPI specs in YAML and it gets consumed by many tools that generate types[0], static analysis and dynamic checks[1]. The OpenAPI spec itself is linted[2]. And of course, Postman consumes OpenAPI.

Tools that are built on open standards will naturally see greater adoption over those that use proprietary formats.

Under "Why TypeScript won", the article says:

> It's self-hosted (tsc is written in TypeScript)

Why would that matter? What if TypeScript was written in Rust? I would assume the better performance would have increased its adoption even more.
