Reply to Bluesky review by Moonside

Just UI and the general UX is now miles better.

I feel the opposite, no more vimlike bindings and no more ctrl-click makes Bluesky unusable for me.

I do love that pages seem light and load nearly instantly, but I just can't use it

I also have the same problem of Nobody Using It, but thankfully everyone I care about is on jstpst or my fediverse so I don't mind hehe

you know how a forum rife with sardonic jokes satirically mocking a viewpoint can cause people who honestly hold that view to take over

this would be the funniest version of that

Reply to comment by hollyhoppet in Phones question: Has anyone here bought an international iPhone 14 (with a SIM card) for use in the US? If so, which one did you choose and why? by twovests

I carry two phones and I swap the SIM cards between them pretty regularly, sometimes several times a day. Besides the initial activation, I've not had an issue.

On the other hand, every eSim transfer I've had took >12 hours and at least one contact to customer support. My most recent experience with eSim was so bad the story would sound fake, so I'm avoiding it for now.

My ultimate goal is that I'm phones shopping, and I'm trying to figure if iPhones will be an option for me or not

Reply to comment by anethum in some maniacs made port of audacity that runs in your web browser by hollyhoppet

it downloads <10MiB of data, the largest thing being a 5.2MiB wasm of wavcity

exporting as mp3 doesn't even require another download, and it doesn't do anything serverside

some tracking down tells us one "adam hilss" is responsible for this

all i can imagine is that wasm must be way, WAY cooler than i thought. (and i already thought wasm was great!)

speculation:

  • audacity uses a teensy part of ffmpeg, and most of it is inlined and pruned away
  • wasm can be optimized for smaller binary sizes, which is a bigger concern for webdev?
  • wasm can somehow link to ffmpeg if it's already on a host machine. (probably not the case, can't imagine this not breaking a sandbox)
