Puss in boot

I’ve been on that platform since 2014. It’s a mix of an anime tracker and a Facebook-like social media site. Used to be called Hummingbird.

It’s alright, if a bit dated.

Who is Brandon?

Co-op video games say that’s the max number of friends you can have, so it must be true.

Of course, but OOP is typically about putting methods on classes, inheritance of behaviour etc.

JS Objects aren’t typically used that way, they tend to be used as pure data containers. At least, that’s how we mostly use them.

Occasionally, we’ll use objects to simplify passing multiple arguments including arrow functions, but I’d say that doesn’t really count unless the arrow function mutates the object it’s a part of.

I’ve worked on projects with 10 000+ lines of typescript and maybe 3 classes total.

I’d been using Geometric Weather for many years, and I noticed a few weeks ago that it was misbehaving, not fetching data sometimes. I didn’t realise it had not had an update for almost 3 years!

I had switched to Google’s weather app, but maybe I’ll switch to this instead. Thanks for the heads-up.

You can’t void your warranty by rooting your phone. They claim you can, but that’s only their extended warranty, not that statutory one.

For React, you can use React Router. That doesn’t mean you’ll do it well though.

It’s tough.

Meanwhile, the Right want to pull down your trousers to check your “gender”.

As someone who has used this app for at least 6 years, I am very sad to see this happen.

I’m surprised they weren’t able to get away with it after the change in extensions a couple versions ago. By not shipping extensions that have copyrighted content that should have been enough, similar to how emulators, services like Plex and torrenting applications survive.

It’s effectively just a comic / manga reader that can be used for piracy when the right extensions are added.

Apparently that wasn’t enough, and I can’t blame open source devs for not wanting to start a legal battle with a profit-earning company.

For now, the app does allow you to add external repository’s (list of extensions for various sources) that are still being updated, and I believe there are at least a few forks of the project that will survive for now.

All I can say is great work to the dev team for sticking with us until now and I wish you luck in your future ventures.

This looks like my old student accommodation

Ah! They do an audio puzzle apparently. For Google captchas at least.

Question: how do you make captchas work for blind people?

33%? For the last 5 years I’ve been paying closer to 45-50%.

That’s not counting power bills, which cost several times more than in the US.
