timnetworks··on Show HN: Slope remade in HTML5 to load instantly on any browser, any device
This is addictive.
timnetworks··on Show HN: CheapFoodMap – A map of good meals under $10
That's very very nifty. The midwest is devoid of users, or cheap food, or both?

1. I can't add a thing, says address incorrect. Confirmed via google maps entry. 2. Drag and drop image upload expected by the dashed outlines but doesn't exist. 3. It should be possible to choose/save a location from a map after a search instead of entering it from blank fields. (see #1)

timnetworks··on How My Images Are Dithered
Is nobody going to mention anything about the fact that one of the friends at the restaurant has no _head_ ?
timnetworks··on 98.css
I wrapped many projects in 98.css. And some in Aero and even XP. Thank you!
timnetworks··on The Amazon tactics that hiked prices across the internet
Amazon is garbage. The majority of goods on amazon are trash too. Everything about it is shitty unless you think it's neat that a guy drives a truck clear across your town because you can't be bothered. And those people are trash too.
timnetworks··on Your 'app' could have been a webpage (so I fixed it for you)
Unless the app is better than Chrome or Safari, make it a website. The world is a difficult place because of dolts that think others are as dumb as they are. People are okay to use a browser. Nobody wants your stupid app.
timnetworks··on EU Commission: addictive design Instagram and Facebook in breach of the DSA
I kind of wish they had developers that know how to get a video upload working from the website.

Alas, it all must have gotten scrapped for a llama workflow.

Website is worse than 15 years ago (code AND contents).

timnetworks··on Study finds no clear advantage for trans women over cisgender women in sports
A study would presumably also find no clear advantage in a fistfight between a husband and wife? Protecting half the population is countably higher stakes.
timnetworks··on The text in Claude Code’s “Extended Thinking” output
if you save a jpeg as a bitmap, doesn't that save every bit faithfully? is the example backwards or is my understanding of maps of bits naive?
timnetworks··on Setting Up a New Windows Laptop in 2026
this is the instruction to the microsoft product manager that put that there
timnetworks··on Notes from tired Egyptian whose job is explaining that humans built the pyramids

timnetworks··on United Airlines 767 returns to Newark after Bluetooth name sparks alert
If my radio got FCC stamps on it, I'm sure the airplane has this figured out but in the opposite direction.

Did someone update fly by wire to run on 2.4Ghz BLE or something? What is even the deal with airplane mode?

timnetworks··on Microsoft Office 2019 and 2021 for Mac view-only conversion
This is why TXT and MD and RTF exist. This is why CSV exists. This is (some of) why some governments are moving away from this junk.

But microsoft's incompetence keeps a lot of people employed.

timnetworks··on $40K for an $8 knob? The case for a military right to repair
surely there are some extra knobs at the original knob factory and 3d printers have nothing to do with it.
timnetworks··on Griffin PowerMate driver for modern macOS
I have one of these and now all I need to do is find a reason to use the Mac.
timnetworks··on Vladimir Putin is losing his grip on Russia
Me too. What I haven't heard until very recently is normal people either unafraid to say it, or afraid of the consequences of saying it less than the consequences of what is happening.

They lost the plot, it's a little too late, but it's new.

timnetworks··on What makes a good smartphone camera?
Light your subject
timnetworks··on Apple is enforcing an old App Store rule against a new kind of software
I've never seen someone fling their clipboard against the wall so hard it shatters. Probably clipboard developers are just a better breed.
timnetworks··on Hey Uber, fix your eatsite. You're embarrassing the internet
cri-ckets. I wonder what idiot hole helped them up.
timnetworks··on Interview with Bob Odenkirk
mr. show was an amazing bit of media
timnetworks··on Is my blue your blue?
> Your boundary is at hue 172, greener than 63% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue.

isn't turquoise exactly (50%) between the two?

timnetworks··on GoDaddy gave a domain to a stranger without any documentation
godaddy is a fucking joke, and at ten times the price [of what I use instead]!

and they burrow their stupid certificates into your computer, you can thank microsoft for that one I guess

timnetworks··on Bring Your Agent to Teams
> Teams is where most enterprise work happens

gtfo.. this can't possibly be written by claude, someone thinks this!

timnetworks··on Russia's doping program is run by the same FSB team that poisoned Navalny
Olympics are literally a showcase of the genetic lottery. We can have Testtube Olympics alongside Special Olympics if there is sufficient interest.
timnetworks··on Apple discontinues the Mac Pro
Of course it's Made on iPhone! They stopped making anything else!
timnetworks··on Show HN: Tiny pixel characters for Cursor AI agents
The sprite graphics are amazing. Was this done by hand?
timnetworks··on Windows 11's Start menu was built using React – now switching to native WinUI
Is there a shell replacement for windows these days? I don't need two right-click menus and whatever it is they did with the task tray anyway.
timnetworks··on Nvidia greenboost: transparently extend GPU VRAM using system RAM/NVMe
Some people are not concerned with having it run the fastest, just having it run at all may be enough.
timnetworks··on X is selling existing users' handles
mine wasn't even that rare, no followers, and twitter still took it away. now it has a blue badge.

it's not my computer i suppose. a whole bunch of computers, all not mine.

now imagine hinging your entire marketing philosophy off 3-4 platforms like this.

timnetworks··on Google Safe Browsing missed 84% of confirmed phishing sites
The most dangerous links recently have been from sharepoint.com, dropbox.com, etc. and nobody is going to block those.
