I am an avid DIYer- often I see people with problems, receive advice to DIY their solution. My general feeling is that if someone asks for advice and the response is DIY, the advising person is a jackass. People who like to DIY will find their own way, and it doesn't help the rest.

How do I share my family photos to a broad extended family group (ie, not very practical to require password or auth) without also feeding them all into the all seeing AI behemoths?

This is a big standard technique in video, but it’s a bit unusual to see it offered in photo mode.

The game industry has been more committed than ever to abusing its employees. The way the executives talk about it is corporate-speak mockery of the same people whose lives they’re upending. aftermath.site/microsoft-xb...

Today's Formula 1 race, the British Grand Prix, is absolutely a race I would show someone if I wanted to convince them that F1 is a stupid waste of time. And I don't just mean the ending.

I like that MacOSX managed to copy Windows' behavior of media keys, where it's permanently unclear and entirely inconsistent which program will respond to Play/Pause/Forward/Backward.

I really hope it's a perfectly normal optical zoom with three detents in it. I seriously cannot imagine anything more quintessentially Leica than doing that.

Did you know it costs nothing to wishlist up and coming indie games? It builds those creators up, then dashes their hopes most expertly when no one converts 😶

Don’t worry, you can now just tell the AI to build your whole UI for you. It kinda works and that’s good enough for upper management to sign off 🫡

This won’t actually work either, by the way. The system has pretty extensive duplicate account detection and will shut down any attempt at a new account almost immediately.

I have many thoughts, but I’ll start with a simple one: how do I build to Android NDK with these, and who can I ask for help when it invariably explodes? CMake may be painful but at least it’s well documented and supported.

Promit⚡Roy @promit.bsky.social · 29/01/2026
As much as CMake absolutely infuriates me in a hundred different ways, I have to concede it is at least a real functional build system that is fairly complete. This is unlike MSBuild, which is like a parody of a build system meant to mock those foolish enough to depend on it.

I finally traded in my iPhone 12, haven’t felt compelled to upgrade at any point but the carrier promotion was solid and I was tired of Lightning cables. Five generations seems to be a nice sweet spot for feeling like a worthwhile upgrade.

The stock pickups were unbelievably dark, practically no high end at all. On a 7 especially, you need good high end to cut through and keep things clear. This just sounded like mud.

Promit⚡Roy @promit.bsky.social · 28/10/2025
It plays way better than it has any right to. The stock active pickups are truly awful, I swapped in a set of Duncan JB/Jazz Rails. And restringing it threatened to drive me to madness, but maybe it gets easier.

As I'm coming up on 1000 hours on Hitman World of Assassination, I could really use a new game with the same general vibe. Meaning it's not overly dependent on precision or reaction times, more planning oriented. But not an outright puzzle game. Accepting suggestions.

I’m probably going to buy a new iPhone soon, but I hate that I’m doing it. IMO Apple has made nearly everything about the platform and OS worse to use, and fallen far behind Android’s other capabilities. But I see no way to get an Android without welding my data to Google and I just won’t do it.

I wasn’t planning on becoming an Orange fanboy, but this cab is thunder. Kinda makes a mockery of my Marshall 1960 actually. It’s the PPC 212 V, which is loaded with a pair of Celestion *Neo* Creambacks and a very relaxed 44 lbs of total weight.
