@nprofile…xaz3 you probably still can open it. Apple is being very obtuse about it.
Try Open from context menu. It will probably show you this dialog. But also… go to system Settings, Privacy and Security section, scroll all the way down and see if there’s an option Open Anyway for this webarchives.
Yes, you’d never find it unless you know to look there.

@nprofile…20vp Cool thing about soldering is that very rarely you can mess it up irredeemably. Which means you can try again and again. Which is also called “practice”. With each try you become a little better at it. And after a little while you can solder what you couldn't on your first try.

@nprofile…kfng Your API wrapper still needs to be tested as it's part of your application. You probably don't want to hit the API every time you run the test so still request mocks? You want to validate them against the actual API once in a while to make sure they still represent the actual API. But I just don't see a way to avoid request mocking completely.

@nprofile…dymg
This is a very long post with quite a few claims and I’m by no means an expert on the topic but I still can suggest a few corrections.
For instance, it’s not a criminal offense to question OUN methods. It’s not an offense at all, actually. It’s a civil violation to deny their struggle for Ukrainian independence. Just that. Your source 3 actually links to the actual text of the law (in Ukrainian but it’s not a complicated text and not long either, Google Translate will probably not mess too much). And you have to understand that no one is condoning the methods. The methods were what a small group could muster against several big states on all sides. What’s actually celebrated here is their struggle for independence. Ukraine has a very long history of this struggle. So you can question the methods or circumstances, or actual outcomes all you want but you can not deny that people actually fought for independence.
I’m also a little buffled by fixation on OUN/UPA given our rich common history. Wasn’t there a little bit of slavery going on on territories of the current western Ukraine? And by some I mean literal centuries. Weren’t there some religious mandates on pretty much all right bank side Ukraine? I mean we can go all the way back to IX century and find something to be offended by.
Another Weird thing I want to point out is that Ukrainian Constitution Day is actually today (well, yesterday if we’re being pedantic). No one (except maybe for a few history nerds) celebrates the first ZUNR constitution. It was a remarkable document but the state itself was short lived, just another setback on the long struggle for independence.

@nprofile…xaz3 export your data from Spotify before you cancel. There’s probably some music you like that you haven’t listened recently to and even forgotten about it. You can rediscover some bops. I did.

@nprofile…xaz3 I ended up with Navidrome for server. It’s relatively simple in terms of UI but it can play music on its own in the browser. It has ListenBraimz and last.fm support for scribbling. Also supports multiple users with shared or separate libraries.
On macOS I use Feishin as a client. It’s an electron app and fonts look slightly off but it works reasonably well. Has lots of bells and whistles like lyrics fetching either from subsonic server or the web, or visualizers. Has simple theming support too. Free.
In iOS I use Nautilune. Pretty feature complete client. Can show lyrics, nice layout. Supports downloading music and offline mode. $10 with a free trial week.
There are decent free iOS clients, too.

@nprofile…xaz3 this is a very specific use case. I have no experience with this. The first idea I have is to use raw yaml lib to parse and expand references before giving it to serde.

@nprofile…xaz3 what do you mean by yaml supportin rust? There are more than one crate for yaml at different levels of abstraction.

To spite Big Tech we break the web for ourselves. Cloudflare still blocks RSS by default. Anubis breaks Open Graph and by extension link embedding/preview. I’m sure oEmbed is broken by both of these and other WAFs.

@nprofile…tslx It depends on what you’re doing with the list. Sometimes (I’d even say more often than not) you want a sequence and for that you need a start. And if you have a start you probably want an end as well.

@nprofile…2r82 Turns out Antropic bought a lot of books, scanned them and used that for training their Claude models.
But, to be fair, they seem to have used LibGen or whatever to decide which books to buy.

There are so many snapshots of parked domains on @nprofile…5r3x. What is their policy about that? I wonder if how much space does it take to keep these useless pages?

@nprofile…k9cr @nprofile…ed7t This seems a bit more complex than it needs to be.
def odd_sum(a, b)
a.product(b).select { it.sum.odd? }
end
I guess pre-filtering can give a bit of a boost on large arrays but looks like premature optimization.

@nprofile…79ya It’d be cool if Ivory could render some basic HTML. Even Mastodon renders it fine even though it doesn’t let you write any markup.

@nprofile…79ya that shows people, not notifications. I want the old notification timeline, events ordered by time.
I guess this is “useful” for people with many followers who don’t loot at the notifications bu I want to engage with people. This new notifications tab makes it harder to know which ones I saw and which I didn’t. The order is unstable and there’s no indication within the people list which ones came when. So I have to keep a mental position for each toot and each interaction type (fav and boost) have their own lists of people.
It looks good and probably easier for people overwhelmed by notifications but I still prefer the old notifications.

2025-03-07 01:38:16 GMT

@nprofile…79ya is there an option to disable notification grouping? I want to se individual notifications for each fav/boost.

@nprofile…p8tg You can use Shortcuts to do whatever on a hotkey.
I don't use hotkeys but I have a shortcut that takes a template and creates a file in Obsidian vault and opens it in Obsidian.
I’m sure there's a plugin for hot keys if you need it only in Obsidian.

@nprofile…x759 I’m not a native speaker so don’t have any authority on the matter but I saw many native speakers use “less” freely. The video I linked is interesting because it provides a bit of historical context and at least one example where distinction is sufficient to pick one over the other.

@nprofile…2r82 @nprofile…y54p I wonder why no one does like short screen + short full on trial. Like, check if they can write a fizzbuzz and if they can “hire” them for a week. It would be also very useful for the prospective employee as they’d get a taste of the company. It’s extremely rare to get even a glimpse of the culture and other folks on the team/company before accepting an offer.

@npub1upk…tcwy git runs gc automatically, in some configurations more often. You may get unlucky to have the commit gc’d quick.
