madeofpalk··on Pixel 11 doesn't yet meet the GrapheneOS security standards and may be skipped
> I'm surprised that (particularly non-US) regulators are not investigating them yet.

This is basically the reason Google lost their Play Store anti-trust lawsuit when Apple won theirs. Google did all these incriminating, behind closed doors deals to lock out competition from their “open ecosystem”, where Apple never pretended to be open to behind with.

madeofpalk··on Why don't more developers “use the platform”?
As a web developer in 2014 when I first heard about react, I had never heard about WM_PAINT as I was not a Win32 developer.
madeofpalk··on GitHub's new dashboard experience now the default
The new issues and PR search, and new listings UI is great improvement. More functionality and more dense UI showing more things.

Improvements to Projects have been really good. Personally, I find no need for external project management tools anymore.

The issues and projects team(s?) have been cooking.

> I’m surprised at the negativity here

I’m not at all. People around here love to hate GitHub, and think any change to a product or design is incredibly regressive. These to combine and people lose their minds.

You can save custom filters to that page as well, if helpful.
madeofpalk··on Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?
I've always used Enterprise per-token billing for Claude Code and I've never understood these nerf complaints. I've never noticed any slow downs at certain times of day, or a gradual decline in quality.
madeofpalk··on 500k facial scans at UK stations yield no arrests, 1 false positive
Wait. Is this Poe’s Law in action? This isn’t satire or sarcasm?
madeofpalk··on Sonnet 5.5
Huh. I’ve never worked at a company that doesn’t primarily/exclusively use Google Docs/Sheets/Slides. Guess that goes to show we’re really all in our own little bubble.
madeofpalk··on Sonnet 5.5
Third case is you’re just an employee at a company who pays for an enterprise codex/claude/whatever for you, and you just use whatever the best available is. Maybe they’ve locked away Astra or Fable, but if cost literally isn’t an issue (at this moment) is there still a benefit to Deepseek?
madeofpalk··on Letterboxd Is Up for Sale, and A24, Sony and the New York Times Are Bidding
The problem with Amazon owning IMDB, or A24 potentially owning Letterboxd, is not that they would screw with it, but that every move they make will be put through that lease. Even with NYT being the owners I’m sure there would be the regular ‘drama’ of whatever woke/anti-woke influence they may have over it.

What 5 start ratings have they purchased?
madeofpalk··on Unknown number of Texas voter registrations went unprocessed due to DPS error
Do you think other countries don't have 'non-citizens'?
madeofpalk··on Transit rewards
The situation is weird. No one thinks like this, or it isn't a problem, in cities that actually have good public transport. A drug addict has never entered my mind when riding public transport in London, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo, etc.
madeofpalk··on Xcode 27.1 Beta Release Notes
Honestly if they were really serious about this they would have released this back in December. Shame. Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave!!
madeofpalk··on Xcode 27.1 Beta Release Notes
Apps not rebuilt with the latest SDK will display in pillar-boxes mode, centred on the screen.
madeofpalk··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
If it's important enough, it'll be elsewhere.
madeofpalk··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
You can knowledge it's there, and just not read it. There's lots of links on the internet that I don't click.

I'm sure there are people who genuinely need to receive information that's only on that site, but personally I'm enjoying the feeling of the joy of missing out.

madeofpalk··on Mullenweg has returned as CEO after attempted board ouster
Why is it not believable that people think he's a bit weird and potentially unstable?
madeofpalk··on Mullenweg has returned as CEO after attempted board ouster
He's been having this mental breakdown constantly for the last who knows how many years.
madeofpalk··on iPhone Duo
Is the factory applied screen protector user replaceable? Or is it a screen protector in the same way that the glass is 'screen protector'? It's just a part of the assembly?
madeofpalk··on Mistral raises €3B
The other part of Apple's strategy is "lets not waste money doing all that expensive research - lets just pay them for the finished result and save money".
madeofpalk··on Jellyfin 12.0
Maybe I'm naive, but I feel like if Plex was going to do anything to existing lifetime subscriptions, they would have done it by now. I think we're fine for now.
madeofpalk··on GUIs should be fully keyboard-driven
> Another is using smaller font size to make more info visible at once

This doesn't sound very usable to me.

madeofpalk··on GUIs should be fully keyboard-driven
That's because at the end of the day:

- accessibility is just usability. all it is is making sure your product is as usable by as many people as possible.

- it's a myth that "people with disabilities" are some other that excludes you, and 'accessibility' or assistive technologies only benefits other people. Everyone is only temporarily 'abled'. You need to use prescription glasses to comfortable read a computer screen? You're a parent trying to watch some TV while getting your child to sleep? All benefit from assistive technologies.

madeofpalk··on Zohran and the Short Link
What's the upside of this? Seems like it would only make links longer and more annoying to type in, when the intention is to make civic participation easier.
madeofpalk··on Nostr is an inclusive communication commons
Chapters and artwork have been features of podcasting since the very beginning. They've been supported in mp3 for like over 20 years.
madeofpalk··on Claudette: Make Claude stop talking like a BuzzFeed article
I've observed a bunch of people not being vocal and complaining, but just flat out switching. For every person you see online complaining, there's bound to be more who are equally annoyed and not being vocal, but just acting. Any many others that aren't bothered at all.
madeofpalk··on The August 17 outage, and the work ahead
I was using claude tethered via my phone, and would lose signal every now and then as we went through a tunnel. I was glad for how resilient it was its its eventual retries.
madeofpalk··on The August 17 outage
I presume there’s a lot of companies out there paying GitHub very large sums to host all their private repos.
madeofpalk··on AI-Generated GitHub Copilot “Autofix” Allowed Compromise of Snowflake's Jira
Of all the problems with YAML, how is comments a footgun?
