Is there something more annoying than unsolicited localisation? Apparently yes, unsolicited javascript-based no-op localisation.

If you design your website like that, fuck you.

This isn't a dunk on Zoomers. Google results are so bad these days, TikTok is often faster and as good

This is what most of the anti-science wackadoos dont realize.

I watched the Good Omens TV series recently and was pleasantly surprised that it's actually very good. Fun to watch, true to the book, well made overall.

I remember that when I first heard the proverb "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" as a child I found it very counter-intuitive, and yet the longer I live the more universally true it appears to be.
Good intentions seem to outrank even greed when it comes to causing the worst atrocities committed by mankind.

Oh look, a closed game engine controlled by a single entity (Unity) got fucked by its management. Who would've thought? It's almost like depending on a single company to not get corrupted/plain worse over time with no escape if it does is not a good idea...

How are gender-separated toilets still a thing lol
It's not like people are waving their dicks/tits around in there, and there doesn't seem to be a single difference between sitting in a stall / washing hands next to someone of the opposite gender. Hell, even urinals with basic separators don't result in unintentional flashing.

Have I just completely missed some major affair about browser? Or is it just criminally underrated for no apparent reason other than people lumping it in "the crypto bro tech"?

I'd like to take a moment to appreciate how Linux keyboard layouts fill unused combinations like AltG+K for Polish with characters that might be useful (the ellipsis character in this case). On Windows if I wanted to insert °, …, ™ or a non-breaking space I'd have to memorise its alt-code or create a custom layout. (Which is about as well supported and easy to do as you'd expect from Windows customisation.) On Linux I just type AltG+Shift+0, AltG+K, AltG+Shift+T or AltG+Space respectively, because they're part of my layout out-of-the-box.

(Linux layout in first picture, Windows layout in second)

Muting the fedi "comrades" spamming the social equivalents of flat earther hot takes seems to have improved my inner peace and outlook on humanity when browsing. I know they still exist, but now they have about the same effect on me here as they do IRL - absolutely none.

Feels good man.

First-ever Gitea pull request from a remote instance!!! 🎉🥳

git.exozy.me/Ta180m/Hello-worl

I've been waiting for this moment for months now!

The code hasn't been pushed to gitea.com/Ta180m/gitea yet since it's incredibly messy, but I'll clean it up tomorrow and also submit a draft pull request to upstream Gitea.

(Technical implementation information: gitea.com/Ta180m/gitea/issues/)
