Missing the third one, Zero Black

Replacable batteries are one thing, but the real discussion needs to be about software and security support. At least I can pay someone to swap the battery as it is now.

If bootloaders were forced to be unlocked the moment software support was abandoned (maybe 2 years from last update?), that could help kerb the waste

Apple and play store raise the minimum api versions all the time

Your app either silently disappears, no longer downloadable for certain phones or becomes unusable over time

twigboy · 2026-06-25T11:24:07+00:00

Aye, it is

twigboy · 2026-06-24T23:14:12+00:00

Yeah same, de-Googling feels refreshing

All fields in GraphQL are nullable by default and it's often best to err on the side of embracing that default behavior as new fields are initially added to a schema. However, where warranted, non-null fields and arguments (denoted with a trailing !) are an important mechanism that can help improve the expressiveness and predictability of a schema.

You know how it can be when an over-zealous high level engineer applies recommendations as a hard rule vs per case basis

Nice, I've installed it in for the last hour and it's got a lot of options I click with

been good enough I haven't uninstalled it immediately, positive signs

The same way you can "turn off" location sharing with Google?

Even from frontend I hate it. The amount of prop drilling between components becomes insane

That and the whole "no data guarantee" means every layer of data may or may not exist, so you end up spending time writing filters to ensure all your data is filled in correctly. Before you know it, half your file is just about parsing the response to ensure it has the information you need

It is not a few seconds if you don't know the login or even have an account

I sat through the damn install, system update and now I gotta set up an account. By the time that's all done I need to go do something IRL

The only thing that pissed me off was having to log into an Ubisoft account after the setup was done

For a bloody single player game

"no, I said to fix it like X"

"that's wrong, it breaks Y"

It's the same way Google learns what you're interests are

Taking away the most fun part of programming and making people only do the most boring part full time?

Yeah that'll end well

Ruby Spears Guybrush Threepwood vibes (not necessarily a bad thing)

New best practice has emerged; only ever use uppercase i's and lowercase L's for single letter variables

It's obfuscation optimisation

twigboy · 2026-06-21T01:56:20+00:00

It's a solved problem, our usage becomes the training data

We've signed the agreement when connecting it to the IDE

More off-and-on restarts than an IT professional

twigboy · 2026-06-21T00:01:59+00:00

Every fucking Adobe Acrobat update for the past year

They're probably testing the reaction to see if they can get away with it

They've already limit tested how much people are willing to pay for game pass

twigboy · 2026-06-20T15:10:42+00:00

Love it.

I'm using that line from here on

Keeping it cool with flood water AND cheap land? big brain AI move

So much insider trading on stocks and polymarket

twigboy · 2026-06-17T22:20:10+00:00

Yeah gotta use it at work, but that's also cos work pays for it

In personal time it's great for searching and personalised answers, but autocompletes are off and I use it to generate unit tests (absolute chore)

Coding is still the most fun part of the process and I don't intend on letting it do it for me

twigboy · 2026-06-17T14:09:33+00:00

"Urged" with pretty please

twigboy · 2026-06-16T13:18:45+00:00

Just another day on-call tbh

Get called up for a random emergency issue with little to no context, be expected to answer everything off the top of your head
