yes some countries geoip location is more accurate than others, but unless your ISP is actively doxxing you, the notion that an IP address can pinpoint to your house number is ridiculous
i love how much FUD has been generated around what is and isn't possible to do with a public IP address alone
i have tried 5 different geoip locator apis and none of them have identified me being remotely in the correct corner of the country

rewatched it tonight, had to walk out of the room during the scene where weebo gets damaged. still makes us cry
please read "the soul of a new machine" by tracy kidder

RIP to a real one.
The Soul of a New Machine may be the best technology book written, but House was a beautifully-crafted and deeply humanist book. Funny too!

The Trojan Room Coffee Pot, which the X11 application xcoffee showed a live picture of, to save your long trip for a refill of joe from being a fruitless one:
anyone got a cool list of webcams that are of the streaming on a webpage kind and not of the hardware to plug in your computer kind. where's the next xcoffee
i just think it's funny that people despised when Microsoft did this in the 90s with internet explorer but now that Google is doing it it's Firefox that's "lagging behind on standards"
the solution is not for firefox to support web usb api the solution is for people to stop using web usb api
i just don't think that web browsers should be the same program you access USB ports with or write local programs in
this has been a message against Google's lobbying for "web standards" that have actively made software worse in the past decade
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.)
