@npub13le…6saf Nice! I have a pair of iPods sitting right here (A1059 and A1099). Now I'm curious if the same steps would work for them!

@npub1psd…9sr7 I was honestly surprised they didn't go the route of full macOS/iOS convergence when they announced the M1 macs.

Where do y'all who are also in the US buy your jeans from? Mine are getting worn out and need to be replaced. I've historically bought them from Gap because I'm short and they carry a 28" inseam (online, of course, not in stores). I'd want either a storefront where I can try them on for fit or an online shop with a *very* flexible return policy.

@npub1lks…a4mq if it's a multithreaded application and there's I/O involved then it's hard to wind up with anything being deterministic, IME.

@npub15x4…3p3l Cool, cool, cool. Eagerly awaiting the follow-on where they declare that "colonizer" is also a protected characteristic.

@npub13j5…79ec oh my God you're one of those libertarian assholes. Here's what you can do: fuck all the way off into the sun.

@npub13j5…79ec I don't know what your point is here. Do you get off on lecturing people or what?

Does anyone happen to know a lawyer or law firm that specializes in dealing with telecoms? Specifically for rural broadband access, if it matters.

@npub1a4c…t2kf this makes a lot more sense than anything Google ever communicated to me as an android user. I found the GPay stuff distasteful.

@npub1nr8…rj65 it's infuriating to me that every operating system is full of APIs for rendering text to the screen, only for us to take pictures of that text and scrape it back out with OCR.

@npub1v52…qu8a I think mostly just the antenna characteristics? Left is the NanoStation, Right is the NanoBeam. The NB has a larger antenna. At this distance it probably doesn't matter. They both support GigE so you should be able to to get close to the advertised 450Mbps speeds through the link.

@npub1v52…qu8a ugh, that's annoying! I'd just get the Nanobeams and call it a day. I can share more specific details of my setup if you're interested.

@npub1v52…qu8a if you have a clear path between them you could also dig a trench, lay conduit, and run CAT-6 or fiber between the two.

@npub1v52…qu8a I have nanobeams connecting a link of maybe 100m and it works just fine, FWIW. You barely even have to align the antennas at that distance.

@npub1psd…9sr7 I hadn't considered Apple's puritanical stance on porn as one of the things that might cause the Vision Pro to fail, but there it is: https://www.404media.co/a-3-500-chastity-belt-early-apple-vision-pro-adopters-alarmed-to-learn-vr-porn-doesnt-work/

@npub1upk…tcwy I agree with all of this! There were some mercurial extensions I used while working at Mozilla that has nice support for things like "show me all of the heads in my local repository that aren't in my remote". That feels like a much more natural thing to care about! You could just checkout any revision, commit something, and it's a new head that wouldn't get lost.

@npub1fgr…uxh0 @npub1psd…9sr7 having played around with the ChromeOS build system in the past, it's very much tied to specific models, not just CPU+architecture. This is likely them not wanting to continue updating/building/testing against all those models. (But the end result sucks )

@npub19lt…qfjk I was really curious as to whether the actual font used to print the First Folio was well-known, and it seems to be an under-researched topic. The best take on it I found is: http://reedreibstein.com/assets/reibstein-first-folio.pdf . There, Reibstein asserts that it is "Pierre
Haultin’s second pica roman", citing Vervliet (2008) for that nomenclature.
