sureIy··on Every wondered how Facebook spoofs Gmail message list snippet text?
They actually did at some point, but people hate that. https://howfinity.com/how-to-use-facebook-nearby-friends/

Not if you're under 25

HTML was a mistake.

What if browsers just returned texts with links and auto-linked and auto-embedded them like markdown does? Only on request. A true user agent.

Well, I would have settled for HTML 1 for the forms.

Unfortunately some people want to have some semblance of social life and in some circles dropping Instagram means decimating your pool.
sureIy··on GitHub issues is almost the best notebook in the world
Confirm. GitHub search is "search" not "excellent search"
sureIy··on The WinRAR Approach
"Best" doesn't always win. We'd be sporting PalmOS if that were the case.
sureIy··on CivitAI Policy Update: Removal of Real-Person Likeness Content
What has been the problem exactly? Just generic "fake news" or did the platform generate porn?

You may be surprised to find out how many more things are happening today! It's definitely a conspiracy.
sureIy··on OpenAI to buy AI startup from Jony Ive
> huge ego and power hunger

Some people should probably be stopped before they get too hungry. Same with some bald guy in Eurasia right now.

sureIy··on Run GitHub Actions locally
I figure because they charge for minutes, I'm not saying that it actually turns a profit. My company also pays for certain "xl" machines.
sureIy··on Run GitHub Actions locally
I'm convinced that they specifically won't do that so that people won't use them to build competing products. Actions is one of the pieces that make GitHub money.
sureIy··on Zod 4
> I don't want TypeScript to be a runtime checker

I do.

If the types are internally consistent, then they don't need runtime validation, it'd just be extra code to download and run.

If you accept external data, you may already opt in using something like Zod. I don't see why conflate the two things just because their quacks echo the same.

Do we have enough spaces in the ALL_NUMBERS array or do we want to group them by thousands?

sureIy··on Airbnb is in midlife crisis mode
You'd be surprised by how many rich people there are. Airbnb doesn't need to sell millions of these services to make millions off them. If an "experience" costs $150, that's just as good as a night in their rooms, if not more profitable.
sureIy··on Airbnb is in midlife crisis mode
You can't link a web page to the person behind it. Maybe Airbnb is in the right to offer the service in the country, it's just nobody could verify/enforce the ability to rent short term.

Oh absolutely. This makes leaving bad reviews even more important.

- leave unemotional matter-of-fact reviews so they can't complain for slander

- leave them days later so they can't link them to you

- leave them for businesses that provide incentives for 5-star reviews

- leave them when multiple reviews already complain about unethical actions taken by the owner

A 4-star HIG hotel in Bangkok once proposed I leave a good review to fix one of their mistakes. I firmly said I wouldn't and then mentioned the request in my 2-star review. The mistake was assigning "free breakfast" to the wrong room in a 2-room booking. Had to fight 3 days to get it fixed.

sureIy··on Can you trust that permission pop-up on macOS?
Technically you're right. From an end-user standpoint, it's irrelevant. Apple's mock vista ad applies just as well to Ventura: they're all annoying and a security theater if the user is just told to input admin password into any random popup.

sureIy··on Can you trust that permission pop-up on macOS?
What's the problem here? Javascript popups can't read your fingerprint so what would be the endgame of a fake passkey popup?
sureIy··on Build your own Siri locally and on-device
I'm sorry, something went wrong with your "what time is it" request.

Oh you asked "what time is it in Miami?" Because I already cut you off after "what time is it".

This happens on a daily basis when I'm not talking right into my phone.

sureIy··on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings
VMs are detected and blocked. DRM is hardware-level nowadays.

Wait till they implement no-screenshot zones just like they do with drones.
sureIy··on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings
What makes you think that userspace software can bypass userspace restrictions?

Any and every screen capture app will show a blank or a replacement screen for the restricted area.

sureIy··on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings
"Easily" is temporary. There's already zero way to capture protected pixels on iOS. Cabled mirroring, screen casting, airplay, they're all blocked. Messaging apps are capitalizing on this with "screenshot protection for temporary media". Netflix has been doing it for ages. Jailbreak? Detected and blocked as "insecure device"

Maybe you can do it on not-iOS, until your insecure setup will be blocked by the server. Cat and mouse until there's 3 mice in the whole world.

Hey sorry to interrupt you but you blocked screenshots so please send me this frame. Also don't mind me I'll stop you again in 65 seconds.

sureIy··on Void: Open-source Cursor alternative
Worse. The result is the same: an unmaintainable product, and now you also become increasingly incompatible with the source.

Ask Firefox how that went.

Hint: they dropped XUL because every update broke extensions

sureIy··on My quest to make motorcycle riding that tad bit safer
> moves the brake light up to eye level for people in SUVs

Sad that this would be needed. At that price it's insane to me. OP's article is about democratizing safety and keeping it at a low price, while this over engineered brake light is $160 plus tax. Then a 3350 mAh battery and it lasts only 8-12 hours. Crazy

sureIy··on Migrating a JavaScript Project from Prettier and ESLint to BiomeJS
I use @sindresorhus/tsconfig, but there are a handful of possible improvements over it (see open issues)
sureIy··on Migrating a JavaScript Project from Prettier and ESLint to BiomeJS
I say don't believe the hype, unless you just need the basics.

For me Biome replaced Prettier but its linting capabilities are nowhere near the amount of rules available for eslint. They mention having rules from ts-eslint and unicorn; then you check and it's a handful out of hundreds of rules among the two plugins.

So it's fine if you're using a basic eslint config, but you miss out on a lot of powerful linting otherwise.
