  • I hate webp. Not for any legitimate technical reason like, but I often just want to download an image from the web for an image board or drop it in a diagram or ppt or for a joke and nothing works with that format. Nothing. Google image search is useless because of it.

    Cmd+shift+4 is now the only way to grab an image out of a browser. Which is annoying.

    It has made my life needlessly more complicated. I wish it would go away.

    Maybe if browsers auto converted when you dragged ann image out of the browser window I wouldn’t care, but when I see webp… I hate.

  • Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

  • I did a stint in Devops and I found every models to be like this for all of the infra-as-code languages. Anything yaml based was especially bad.

    Even Amazon’s own offering completely made things up about Amazon’s own formats.

    I’d be curious as to why that is. It seems like there would be enough training data, and for Amazon in particular it seems like they could make a validation tool the model could use.

  • I’ve written a pure C Mac desktop app in 2024 that called the objective-c bindings directly. It is using a modified version of this library https://github.com/ColleagueRiley/RGFW

    While I don’t think that library does iOS specifically, you can have a look at the code to see how you can call objective-c from c. Spoiler: doing so kind of sucks, and also the library code isn’t the most elegant thing I’ve seen.

  • This browser extension doesn’t have ambient music yet, but various noise types: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noice-noise/ (there is a Chromium version too). There might be an internet radio thing you could run from VLC. There might be something on the horizon with that plugin.
