prettymuchnoone··on Android and iPhone users can now share files, starting with the Pixel 10
but if airdrop as of OS26 uses wifi aware, and the proprietary awdl version has been shuttered due to the eu regulation, how come devices on that software version can still airdrop to older devices?
prettymuchnoone··on Apple M5 chip
I think this is a GNOME thing...the keychain by default has the same password as the login password, so logging in with the password unlocks it too. fingerprint login doesn't unlock it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38527876, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring
prettymuchnoone··on Helium Browser
by "Mozilla approved" do you mean that it has to come from the official add-on store?

because in my experience, it doesn't--I've installed a couple of extensions manually by just dragging the .xpi into the window.

prettymuchnoone··on KDE is now my favorite desktop
bit unrelated, but the newest version of macOS (Tahoe) does now have a clipboard manager
prettymuchnoone··on Firefox 143 for Android to introduce DoH
try chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml
prettymuchnoone··on How I like to install NixOS (declaratively)
i don't think @-ing dang works, you should probably send an email to hn@ycombinator.com i think?
prettymuchnoone··on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source
as for 1. if you ever have some free time on your hands, and want to take declarative configs to the next level, you can check out Impermanence for NixOS: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37218289

and 2...hm I know i've done Miracast before with GNOME Network Displays https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.NetworkDisplays

prettymuchnoone··on A 2025 Survey of Rust GUI Libraries
hm, that's new, it didn't pop up when last I opened the page

edit: it's a troll, it's meant to redirect i think: https://x.com/boring_cactus/status/1303832687648464897

prettymuchnoone··on Cursed Excel: "1/2"+1=45660
hm i mean, python doesn't really care about indentation kind, as long as it's consistent...

maybe writing a Makefile (which afaik really REALLY wants tabs), and want to ensure someone's IDE doesn't change it to spaces.

prettymuchnoone··on Reddit is launching their own gen-AI search engine
damn so this is really what they're focusing on doing...when the top 10+ posts on r/help are people trying to get new.reddit back
prettymuchnoone··on Exploring Typst, a new typesetting system similar to LaTeX
the pandoc typst reader is a bit barebones, it doesn’t support packages (understandable) and seems to get confused with functions for me…though it’s been a bit since i tried it
prettymuchnoone··on Secure Custom Fields by WordPress.org
they renamed to "secure custom fields"
prettymuchnoone··on ACF has been hijacked
Well yes, but it's like going to buy a bottle of Coke and finding out it's now Koke (but actually Pepsi inside)...it's iffy
prettymuchnoone··on Exploring Typst, a new typesetting system similar to LaTeX
Could you give an example of how it could be more similar to Markdown? I recently used Typst for my bachelor's project and never really thought that it needed to be simpler
prettymuchnoone··on Manifest v2 is now removed from Chrome canary
hm i'll post this in the thread over there later but i'm pretty sure ff has that?

2 hours, according to the verge

don't know about spectacles but the verge's article about it quote someone saying it's about 10k to make this:

> As Meta’s executives retell it, the decision to shelve Orion mostly came down to the device’s astronomical cost to build, which is in the ballpark of $10,000 per unit. Most of that cost is due to how difficult and expensive it is to reliably manufacture the silicon carbide lenses. When it started designing Orion, Meta expected the material to become more commonly used across the industry and therefore cheaper, but that didn’t happen.

the wristband reminds me of the Myo armband, this thing you could wear to control a computer

did meta buy them out?

prettymuchnoone··on Orion, Our First True Augmented Reality Glasses
well they're not going to be sold to consumers (apparently they cost like 10k-ish to make)...but i'm curious how they'd do motion tracking without cameras though...

prettymuchnoone··on ICANN's list of abandoned vanity TLDs
I think they've been (slowly) migrating things over--passwords.google and blog.google and a few others exist nowadays
prettymuchnoone··on Ladybird Web Browser becomes a non-profit with $1M from GitHub Founder
they got rid of it :(
prettymuchnoone··on Microsoft Account to local account conversion guide erased from Windows 11 guide
