for a layout refactor you could do just the top level nesting and then be able to scroll down categories, kinda similar to how discord lays out their settings (personally i find the overly-nested part to be most of my gripes, a settings search would be cutie too but is more complicated)

this person also actively spoofs the results from that endpoint for some reason as if there's not extremely easy methods to bypass it they also block the endpoint for downloading their .car, incredibly odd critter

i think it's definitely helpful yeah, jj does use that but it has a different relation to branches and commits than git bookmarks in jj are the closest to branches in git but it's more a property of the commit rather than something separate... i'm not sure if that makes sense

what are people's experiences with helix + steel support? i've always wanted to try helix but i'm a bit put off of the lack of stable plugins if it's fine without them i'd be happy to hear that, i just want it to look slightly nicer like my current neovim config

i need the xkcd 806 phrase when talking to bsky support
XKCD comic #806. A person calls tech support because their internet connection keeps dropping.

Caller: "...Restart my computer? I know you have a script to follow, but the uplink light on the modem is going off every few hours. The problem is between your office and the modem."

Caller: "My computer has nothing to do with... OK, whatever, I 'restarted my computer.' It's still down. And even if it comes back, it's going to die again in a few hours. Because your-"

Caller: "I don't have a Start menu. This is a Haiku install, but that's not import- Haiku? It's an experimental OS that I... oh, never mind."

Caller: "I'm sorry, but this won't get fixed until I talk to an engineer. Can you look around for someone wearing cargo pants, maybe a subway map on their wall?"

Support rep: "There's a chick two phones over with a stuffed penguin doll and a poster of some bearded dude with swords."
Caller: "Perfect, can you put her on?"
Support rep: "Sure."

Caller: "Hey, so sorry to bother you, but my connection-"
Engineer: "Yeah, I see it. Lingering problems from a server move. Should be fixed now."
Caller: "Thank you so much."

Engineer: "No problem. Hey, in the future, if you're on any tech support call, you can say the code word 'shibboleet' at any point and you'll be automatically transferred to someone who knows a minimum of two programming languages."

Caller: "Seriously?"
Engineer: "Yup. It's a backdoor put in by the geeks who built these phone support systems back in the 1990s. Don't tell anyone."

Caller: "Oh my God, this is the greatest-"
Caller, waking up from a dream: "Wha- ...dammit."

no way is proton saying the flipper zero is a "digital gadget used to vanish online" most larp thumbnail i've seen in a bit
thumbnail of a youtube video from "Proton" and "Proton Guides & Updates". it's titled "The Digital Gadgets Experts Use To Vanish Online" with the text in the thumbnail itself saying "Untracable". Shown in the image is a framework laptop 13, a usb flash drive bracelet with Tails OS, a portable router, a "Self Programmed Smartwatch", "Kiwix + Offline Wikipedia", a modified iPod Classic, a Pi-Hole + Raspberry Pi, and a flipper zero. There is also a man holding another flipper zero.

more of me having a bone to pick with a lot of the modern design practices that have become popular. color does add fun to a ui but an accent color kind of looses it's meaning if it's literally everywhere i also think that people don't play with variable fonts that much when they should
witchsky with a modified "feed bar" using a heavier font weight on the currently selected feed with everything else at a lower font weightthe normal witchsky "feed bar" with a color accented indicator and all items at an equal font weight

the bike infra here is 2 painted lines so that cars can park and hazard light in the fucking lane. how wonderful it feels to have shitty drivers on one side and potential doors opening from the right with drivers straight up parking in the lane because they need to pick up something

i have the 24 oz version of this one, the "handle" protects the button that unlocks it so that would help 3. but it does have a straw and some crevices so it might suffer from 1. but i haven't had issues with that. it does say "hand wash recommended" and "can't handle hot liquids" tho...
