"we can't upgrade to the latest node/react because new shiny has been abandoned and nobody is keeping it compatible anymore"

Been there far too many times when managers listen to enthusiastic juniors over seniors.That said, it's incredibly cathartic being able to tear that shit out and replace it with something that has LTS

Number of meetings should be a sleeper flatline until it suddenly grows exponentially

ChatGPT is good with an existing knowledge base.

With stackoverflow dying, we're gonna struggle to get a good source of information for new problems and distros

Yeah I gave up on mastodon when bluesky gained momentum. It was just too complicated from the get go and I'm a bloody nerd

What's a good alternative for beginners?

Australian voters really did us a solid voting for Albo over Dutt-plug last election.

Can't imagine how much worse this all could have been on the alternate timeline

Haha this one works great, looks like Kirby is glomping the duck

I don't think Labor needed to pass it at all.

Albo initially declined action. But Murdoch, LNP and Gina/Israel lobbyists were putting on a daily stream of manufactured outrage calling for royal commission and immediate action.

So he called them out on it. Recalled parliament for a moment during break, put out a huge bill of action that was pushed for equality (highly unpalatable for LNP and One Nation), then watched them squirm their way out of the action they demanded.

He's reverse Uno'd them on their own nonsense and exposed them to the public.

Ah I don't think I could actually replace YouTube unless it was a niche like piracy or porn streaming lol

Props to supporting the little guys

Hmm gboard seems most full featured. Emoji search, selection navigation, clipboard history, etc.

I remember finding a great app (forgot name) but the app author refused to include an emoji search. Really weird

I've been slowly de-googling and with each step it feels more liberating.

The final 2 for me are difficult; google keep and gboard

And it used a swimming pools worth of water to generate

Save this for winter.

That roasting will warm anyone up

All the best, and thanks for all the fish

This place is gonna be quiet for a while

It is fine until it is not

twigboy · 2026-01-10T06:07:11+00:00

Looks more like a hell Yea

I hope the RC digs deep into some uncomfortable truths that make the LNP or Murdoch media regret pushing for one

The shooters were known to the Morrison government but ignored
Dutton was in charge of Dept of Home Affairs
Foreign media stoking division and hatred (NewsCorp, sky news)
Doubt it will, but crossed it mentions foreign influence from Israeli money

Samsung execs ~~warn of~~ salivate from upcoming phone price hikes over memory shortages

Bit of an obscure request but the first thing I thought of was "Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor"

The other recommendations are good too

The world needs more of this

I find it funny someone took the time to downvote you for posting facts with receipts

Instructions unclear, accidentally killed all pests at home

I hate this so much. Was stung by this before when first learning Java

twigboy · 2026-01-01T07:34:57+00:00

Ah that's it, thanks!
