  • Anime Recommendations

    Jump

  • My 11 year old sister's recommendation for 11 year old girls: Sk8 the Infinity

    It's a campy sports anime about an underground skateboarding gang where people skate "to the death" (nobody dies).

    It's on Crunchyroll or wherever you get your anime ;)

  • Google's WebP

    Jump

  • Does that actually change the file, or will it still break when your software can't handle webp? Because I did that to a webp, but Firefox still shows it's a webp (in the tab name), probably based on magic byte. I don't have any viewers that can't display webp though, and I think they're all smart enough to go by magic byte.

  • With a 24h watch, you line up the hour hand with the sun. Because the sun does a full circle in 24h and the hour hand does the same, lining them up will always make 24 point north (on the northern hemisphere).

    A compass is still the better option, because the magnetic field also points north in the southern hemisphere and doesn't have to be recalibrated when you move too far east or west.

    Jump

  • You paid $35 for the watch, the delivery or both? Because I saw those Vostok watches with proper 24h faces, which is exactly what I'm looking for, but they're $140. I guess that's not super expensive for a watch, but I can get a much nicer 12h watch for that money.

    And a double numbered clock face is the simple solution, probably more convenient to read, but also not really a conversation starter :)

  • At least we're not mixing in letters

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's the method I know.

    Divide the angle that is made in half

    And that's how you correct for the 12h face.

  • At least we're not mixing in letters

    Jump

  • I've looked for them, but they're very hard to find and expensive too. You can't just slap a 24h face on a 12h mechanism, so it's all custom and produced in low volumes. (I think it's technically possible to convert a 12h period into 24h by switching out a single gear, but that might ruin your minute hand too? I'm no clock maker.)

  • At least we're not mixing in letters

    Jump

  • How do you find north on a 12h face that wouldn't work with a 24h face? Because the method I know, requires correcting for the 12h circle.

  • TIL the country that eats the most pizza per capita is Norway.

    Jump

  • Sometimes it's more about the texture than the flavour and potatoes with cream sounds delicious in that regard.

  • Node Modules

    Jump

  • Yeah, I had some webpages archived and tried to use javascript to clean them up, but I ended up parsing it as xml through Powershell instead. I've done something with Python and BeautifulSoup too, a long time ago. Both much easier than JS, but somehow JS is designed to work with web pages? Make it make sense.

  • Open source project curl is sick of users submitting “AI slop” vulnerabilities

    Jump

  • I find it really easy to tell the difference between a human being polite, neat and well-spoken, and an AI being the same (but soulless). I don't know if I could put it into words though, there's just something about AI that lacks subjectivity? A human would phrase something in a certain way and stick with it, because that's the way they experience it, while the AI takes a phrasing at random, only caring about gaining lexical and grammatical points.

    I also think humans overestimate their ability to write clearly and correctly. There's always some noise in there, even if they're going full corpo-speak. Unless it's written-by-committee meaningless corpo, but then I don't even read it beyond the first sentence. It's very obvious when someone has tried to strip all meaning from a sentence and the result is not far from AI.

  • Ye storms out of interview after Piers Morgan gets his follower count wrong

    Jump

  • 10% still makes it sound like a lot, but a big chunk of those have to be outside the US (if they're even all active accounts).

    Yeah, you already mentioned the libertarians.

  • Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if I understand what you're talking about exactly. With root I can access all files on my device (including /data/data, where app internal files are kept) and I can give permission to apps to access all files too, it they ask for it. Not that I'd want that, because it's way safer to keep user data in /storage/emulated/0 and give read permissions on file or folder level (like /Pictures for a gallery app, or just the picture I want to share for a social media app).

    If you want to share data between apps, the easiest way would be to give them access to the same folder in user space. That isn't OS maker's generosity, that's basic security controls.

  • It was a dark time for all.

    Jump

  • Did it do some form of automatic eye detection or did you have to manually select the eyes?

  • It was a dark time for all.

    Jump

  • So that's why the choice seems to be between red eyes or tiny pupils. I have some old photos where the surroundings look really dark, the flash on the people makes them look ghostly pale and everyone has unnaturally constricted pupils. If we were trying to avoid demonic pictures, I think we failed.

  • Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop

    Jump

  • I recently saw terminal access as a feature of Android 16 too, so if you have su access, that should give you all the power you need. Now let's hope root will become standard, instead of needing to flash Magisk.
