Interestingly there seems to be a few quirks for twitter.com, but none for x.com. I assume that'll lead to some regressions?

Recent? Unless you mean the notification, sending yourself a message has been possible for a long time. Just to make sure I know what I'm talking about I checked the conversation history with myself and the earliest messages are from 2016.

And yet I still can not get any of the more "advanced" features (like predictive text) for my native language keyboard.

It's been, what, at least five years(?) since predictive text was launched. I never expected to be the first to be supported, but starting to feel a bit ridiculous when some languages with a few tens of percents more speakers have had support from nearly the start.

Meanwhile third party keyboards have had support for ages. I'd rather use the stock keyboard, but can't bear it in its current state.

It is not, and doesn't even try to be, a Reddit replacement, but https://tildes.net has impressed me with its quality of discussion. More akin to HN, but with a subreddit-like system to facilitate a wider range of topics than is usually found here.

As a metal music listener with fond memories of Guitar Hero, I’ve enjoyed Ragnarock a ton.

You play as the drummer on a viking boat, hitting the notes (similar to GH) to the tune of power metal. Nice workout, especially if you really get into it and start exaggerating your movements.

The trailer gives a better impression than I can.

Not sure what your source for ”doesn’t support 3rd party software” is, so it’s unclear what that actually means, but there are numerous examples on Andreas’ YouTube channel about porting software to Serenity, e.g. Diablo [1].

Maybe the text you read refers to the OS itself and all first party software being written without external dependencies?

New comment by maybevain in "Private profiles are now generally available on GitHub"

I scanned the last couple months of their blog posts and could not find anything to support that claim. The docs or pricing page don’t seem to indicate anything like that either.

The only related thing I found was that free accounts are limited to one user that can trigger deploys in private repos, while anyone can trigger deploys in public repos (assuming I understood the announcement correctly).

I think the origin might be ”[ter]minal file [e]xplorer”, though the author might correct me here.

”Tere” is also, perhaps unsurprisingly, used in Finnish.

I think that is meant to be parsed as: Just like you can't check if the fridge light is on without opening the door (which of course turns it on), it's hard to know if a system is resilient to failure without having one. It just might be that there hasn't been a situation that would cause a failure.

Some Minecraft mods add items that force the game to keep certain chunks loaded. From the casual "Can't you just" I assume the parent meant those. It is however also possible, but much more complicated, to force the game to keep chunks loaded in Vanilla Minecraft. [0]

Aside, but for those like me who can't help but wonder: EBT (I believe) stands for electronic benefit transfer, apparently an electronic payment method issued by welfare departments in the USA.

The Battle of B-R was surpassed recently by the Battle of M2-XFE, the largest (by ISK value destroyed) battle of the ongoing world war. While B-R saw a total of ~80 Titans die, in M2 each side lost more than that.

Interesting summary from the developers: https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/the-massacre-of-m2-xfe

At a quick glance it seems like some React component is constantly re-rending.

Quick glance in this case: took a couple second snapshot on the Performance tab and saw a lot of React related calls.

I tested it with my native language (both the text on the website and the browser UI). The autofill interface did not show up.

Then again Finnish has anyway been a second class citizen when it comes to iOS features.

New comment by maybevain in "Safari tries to fill username"

maybevain — Fri, 28 May 2021 13:23:56 +0000

I tested it with the ”Welcome back” equivalent in Finnish, German, French and Chinese. None of those languages caused the autofill interface to show up.

Safari is in Finnish on my phone, and I used the phrase ”Tervetuloa takaisin” to test. For the other languages I used whatever Google Translate suggested.

Seems like their Content Security Policy should block those from executing as "unsafe-inline" is not allowed.
