Contortion

What are you talking about? "I hate him"? He literally learnt how to build an interactive electronic toy for his children and then put in the effort to share it online. You didn't even take the time to read it because he talks about the Toniebox at the very start of article.

So he used AI to do the write up? He also references paying in Euros so English is probably not his first language. I think you need to calm down and critically examine your priorities.

On the other hand, the article was exactly what I expected from the title.

The problem I have most of all with the routing is that it seems to default to my location as either the From or To value (whichever is the one I haven't selected). Once that's been chosen it's not immediately clear how to change it, all you can do is view the route. That's a fine solution when you're immediately looking to go somewhere, but it's not great when you're trying to plot a route between two places in advance.

I've been using CoMaps for a few months and only just discovered that if you choose another location on the map once you've got an initial route and select Route To/From, it then updates the current routing.

I think you underestimate the amount of effort people are willing to put in to being juvenile or perverse.

Also an owner of a non-electric Babboe. We looked at converting it to electric but very few companies would actually do it and the one that we finally got to give us a quote basically said it wasn't worth it. They would've had to replace the whole brake system due to the higher speed of an electric bike. We ended up just buying a different electric cargo bike.

Is there a reason why the URL parameters are obfuscated? I think it would more user (and SEO) friendly to have at least the place names in the URL, e.g. brolly.sh/forecast/united-kingdom/yorkshire/york.

Still, great project! Definitely fulfils my desire for minimalism in all things.

Agreed. I think the code examples in the article could do with showing before and after states of the branch or repo and maybe compare with standard git commands.

Even then I don't think the abstraction to HTTP verbs is necessarily a useful one as web requests and version control are two different mental models.

For anyone who isn't aware, the same author who wrote the short story the film The Thing was based on.

I think OP has envisioned a situation half way between what we now have and what will soon be the actual reality and that his idea will just be quickly skipped over.

I don't think website design will go away, but I do expect that people will soon be ordering products and booking holidays through AI chats instead of doing it themselves, which will require the kind of manifests he's talking about, but will skip the UI layer completely.

Yeah, it makes searching for bug reports/help rather troublesome

I had this problem and it turned out to be an upstream issue with MicroG which was eventually patched. If you have an error message you can search for existing issues on /e/OS' gitlab/forum.

Revolut stopped working for me for a while with the error that the bootloader wasn't recognised and rooted phones aren't supported. After about a month an OS update solved it.

My browser auto-declines cookies so I also had the same thought. On reloading I can briefly see a pop-over with a lot of text in it before it disappears, so I guess that is the cookie game I initially missed.

And next to impossible to get rid of. I would much rather use Signal but convincing even privacy-conscious people to switch is an uphill battle.
