if you actively and consciously use chrome as your main browser i have no respect for you
"but mavica this is a closed issue from 2021"
it's still unfixed and present today. it was only closed as "stale"
today in "stop using chrome":
"DateTimeFormat Welsh locale in Chrome missing"
Safari and Firefox are unaffected by this as they include the Welsh locale by default.

It's clear that AI assisted coding is dividing developers (welcome to the culture wars!). I've seen a few blog posts now that talk about how some people just "love the craft", "delight in making something just right, like knitting", etc, as opposed to people who just "want to make it work". As if that explains the divide.
How about this, some people resent the notion of being a babysitter to a stochastic token machine, hastening their own cognitive decline. Some people resent paying rent to a handful of US companies, all coming directly out of the TESCREAL human extinction cult, to be able to write software. Some people resent the "worse is better" steady decline of software quality over the past two decades, now supercharged. Some people resent that the hegomonic computing ecosystem is entirely shaped by the logic of venture capital. Some people hate that the digital commons is walled off and sold back to us. Oh and I guess some people also don't like the thought of making coding several orders of magnitude more energy intensive during a climate emergency.
But sure, no, it's it's really because we mourn the loss of our hobby.

Speaking of passionate web design...
This is the digital world we now inhabit. (Don't worry; I have an #adblocker but every now and again I want to see how the other half lives, and it's inevitably awful.)

@ilovecomputers I feel like the core of what we loved about the internet is there - it's hiding in chat rooms, little closed member forums, hand crafted websites. It's not gone, just harder to see, but if you dig through the muck, you find yourself in a small meadow with a few other folks who might share with you something good.

The `left-pad` incident was 10 years ago today.

Thankfully, we've completely solved software supply chains in the years since.

is anyone in southwest UK (and can pick up in person) in want of a SE FDHD for a negotiable price? i don't have the space to keep this one.
mouse is missing, starts up and looks for boot so electronics are mostly ok but hard drive isn't, screen is incredibly dim and grows dimmer by the second suggesting either analog board recap or CRT failure
...i measure against EMI_GND instead
i tried briefly sounding off with the continuity meter to tell where this diode goes but i couldn't find anything. i'm happy to take higher resolution pictures and answer questions, unfortunately the daughtercard where this diode is does not have its schematics released unlike the main computer board and there aren't many people left active in the chumby forum
#electronics #chumby #reverseengineeing can anyone help me figure out what diode might've been here? another one in the same board with the same footprint reads 3U and in a pinch i could take apart another working chumby but because it involves peeling off glue i would rather not (and i don't think looking at that one would tell me anything)
i believe this diode is keeping the chumby from powering as without it RAW_PWR and GND on the chumbilical read 0V although i can see the input 12V if...

anyone in UK interested in early, potentially engineering/production sample android phones? got offered an HTC handset but not looking to accumulate more of those myself

@grote remember, kids: "sideloading" is just "installing software that isn't on the app store." the corpos are just calling it "sideloading" because it sounds shadier.
