It has existed for decades (though it had a reboot), but it’s spiked in popularity in the past few years.

Soulseek is the most popular now. It’s peer-to-peer on a different level than torrents, you download from a single other user, which is a little more finicky than connecting to a swarm. But there’s a lot of music available there.

Most of these tiktoks don’t even add anything beyond the text or music, but the format makes it very easy (almost mandatory) for people to add their own head in there. I reaaaally don’t get the appeal, but I didn’t grow up in an era of the internet where putting your face everywhere was normalized.

As a firm believer in wired headphones: you can buy an adapter to plug your 3.5mm in the USB-C. IMO it’s not ideal, but they’re small pieces and you can keep them connected to your headphones at all times, so you don’t even have to think about bringing them with you.

Personally, I made a 3.5mm jack non-negotiable for my phone, which severely limited my options. Next time I’ll probably have to get an adapter… :(

My favorite part of not driving is the drinking. I’m lucky to live around a good train network and even luckier that the shop at the station has a fridge full of beer.

UK left the EU, so the EU won’t be doing anything regardless of your host country.

It’s the rare Golden Woodman, 1 in 10000 odds that you see him on the third night when you look at the security cam for animatronic storage.

How old is this picture? Or am I looking at the one retro game collection that doesn’t have a whole shrine built around it?

They go and stand in front of a mirror? I don’t get it.

Pizzacake is upholding the legacy of 90s webcomics, when the key to success was having an internet connection and a consistent schedule. See: Penny Arcade, who are probably out there right now making three panels without a punchline.

No one has ever seen a prolific memer and thought they would be fun to hang out with. Unless you like it when someone constantly shoves their phone in your face to show you a meme.

This, I think, is the real promise of vibe coding tools—that you can learn how to code without a CS degree.

I learned to code without a CS degree. I used a for Dummies book, W3schools, Stack Overflow and the good guidance of a senior developer. Learning to code was never the issue. And I think poking around in the code, experimenting, stumbling on unrelated but helpful answers, before finding your problem, are all great ways to become experienced that are prevented by the use of a tool like Bolt. If Bolt produces code that confuses experienced developers, how is the vibe coder supposed to learn anything useful from it?

Should the target area be square or should it also be a hexagon?
