I'm looking for an alternative to Instagram. I've tried Pixelfed, but the quality isn't there yet. Any suggestions?

When I buy food online for myself through Monzo, the app always pops up with "Do you want to split the bill?" I'm often tempted to randomly pick someone from my contact list and see how it goes. 😁

I found the bass of my old 2018 MacBook Pro really poor, so I tried to boost it a bit. With just a few dB more, the speakers already struggled, and you can feel they suffer. So it's actually hopeless. The only thing you can do to improve the sound is to reduce the mids.

Wait... SQLite is coming to Node.js? I missed this.

React v19 is now stable! react.dev/blog/2024/12...

It's always a pleasure to use @vercel.com , it's straight forward, fast, loving the cli command. I can't ask for better.

Quick update of my homepage. - Set node version - Upgraded all dependencies - Replaced Twitter by BlueSky - Changed font-family for the second paragraph kud.io

I've just bought store.steampowered.com/app/2780980/... Let's see how it goes.

Copilot is great, but ChatGPT is way better. It's probably a question of AI models. This is scary, but I use ChatGPT every day for almost everything.

I'm so glad the collaboration between Trump and Musk made people move to Bluesky from Twitter/X. It was one of the reasons why I made the migration, but it seems I'm not the only one, and this is great.

How to use rethinkdns.com with dnscrypt-proxy. Useful if you want to have a clean browsing experience on the web.

My tiny extension for Firefox, which allows you to automatically switch from a detailed page on YouTube to an embedded version, is out! No comments, no suggestions, just the video itself. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo... Enjoy.

While I enjoy using my computer to stream films and TV shows on my TV, I often miss the simplicity that a smart TV offers. So, I created a small project that enhances my viewing experience. It is useful, especially if you use your smartphone as a Bluetooth remote control. Enjoy! smart-tv.kud.io

What was the book that definitely changed your life as an engineering manager?

@zoontek.me Hey Mathieu. Do you use CodePush by any chance?

I did not imagine that, but my MacBook Pro Intel 2018 is still performant. Of course, I had some battery issues, but a reset of the firmware helped a lot. Now it's stable; I've got about 70-80% of the original battery capacity. I can use the latest macOS version without any issues.

Half life 2 is free on steam today store.steampowered.com/app/220/Half...

Daylight saving makes no sense. It's already dark, it's not even 4 PM in the UK.

If you need to deal with different versions of Xcode, this CLI is really great. github.com/XcodesOrg/xc...

SDKMan is really cool for managing different versions of the JDK. sdkman.io

I've installed 2 extensions: - From Firefox Labs: vertical tabs (blog.nightly.mozilla.org/2024/08/07/f...). - Adaptive Tab Bar Color (addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefo...). It lets you access all sidebar tabs like modern browsers and adapts the app's color based on the website you visit. 👌

Can someone explain the point of limiting the size of a password? I see so many websites telling you "the password must be between 8 and 20 characters." Just why the 20 characters max? Bad database configuration?

Do you know an Amazon-like online shop with only ethical products and ethical jobs by any chance?

@bsky.app Hey folks. Could you improve the switch of account? It's really not obvious to find it and it requires too many clicks imo. Could you guys make it simpler? It could be amazing! Thanks.

I'm here. After a long social network pause, I've finally quit Twitter and switched to this platform. Let's see how it goes.

The user interface of this app is acceptable for a beginner's attempt, but there is room for improvement. However, the font family used is a major concern for me. I believe it lacks cleanliness. Can we please consider changing it in the near future? Thank you.
