Podlet is really useful in this area.

This reminds me of an episode of Taskmaster where a contestant plans to gain extra time by hitting the alarm in the lift (elevator) but instead of slamming to a halt there's just a little voice message and the lift carries on as usual.

This is a great use of AI and it's caught some small errors like the wrong its (which is one I find distracting when reading). The editing is light enough that it's still your voice, just with extra punctuation and fewer typos.

You're right, and it's infuriating that the AI scrapers are just so lazy/incompetent that they do things like try to scrape every dynamic page of a git repo instead of just cloning it. Similarly, they could just connect over ActivityPub and it wouldn't have much more overhead than another private instance.

There's Anubis which uses JavaScript to force browsers to do some work before they can access, but given how unpopular Cloudflare is around here, I imagine there'd be a lot of complaints if it was deployed on every instance.

Nicely written, but it is effectively an ad for Dash0. That said, it doesn't really talk about Dash0 much.

On Friday I spent over an hour trying to fix my Firefox tabs - I could no longer drag them to reorder or to a new window, and ctrl-shift-T didn't restore tabs, but I could still do it via menus. I thought it might be something to do with the new tab-island stuff and tried FF safe mode, restarting computer, confirming about:config options, etc.

Turns out my headphones were resting on my Esc key.

I suppose it could be used in the sense of a dog flushing out game for the hunters - to make something hidden visible so it can be dealt with.

I had to look up the pronunciation: seel-a-canth /s ɪ́j l ə k a n θ/

Calling something a "second storey" just sounds weird, although at least because they spelt it "story" we know they mean in the US sense.

Good to know. My old one was a Redmi Note 8 Pro and I miss the excellent camera (optical zoom!)

I think one of the ways they save money is using cheap wiring, so it gets hotter than it should. Also, no waterproofing - which is why I no longer have my Xiaomi.
