Thanks for coming back to reply. First I want to say that the downvotes you’ve received have been unnecessary imo and I think I should have added that my original comment was in my experience and purely anecdotal.

I guess it all depends on the person and whether they see constructive criticism as… well constructive or whether they see it as a slight against them. Like in any industry really.

As a software developer making enterprise software, that simply isn’t true.

I have been responsible for making some pretty poor design choices and UX flows. I was never resistant to change and more just needed someone to say hey bro that’s dumb, I don’t why don’t we do it like this.

Now I know how to do X and won’t make the same mistakes again.

Hey thanks for this. I wonder if I can sign up on the website and then login to the app. I will try that at some point today.

Much appreciated you updating me on this.

Yeah it must be a new addition. Big sad.

Not that I’m against this idea, I just don’t think we can appreciate how difficult and time consuming it would be to not give them any money. Like you would be spending so much time researching products and even then you can’t be sure that somewhere in the supply chain isn’t American.

Yeah it’s just a non-starter for me. I already have to silence several calls a day as telecoms providers, UK at least, allow people to spoof their numbers. Like I want to give it to another company that’ll either sell it get breached and ends up out there anyway.

I don’t see this going away so might need to buy a burner phone just for receiving codes in the near future but it won’t be linked to me and it will not receive calls.

Eww I just downloaded Claude for iOS and to sign up you need a phone number? No thanks.

Or just a grifter that wanted the bag and found joining the GOP would do that as his audience would be dumb.

It seemed to be a trend amongst younger people who would disable auto capitalisation.

Nice. I’ve never seen an owl in person. Keep meaning to go to a birds of prey place near work that has owls and stuff. Fascinating birds.

You should try. Photography is a great hobby to get into and not had hard as you might imagine, if you practice a lot and learn about cameras and lighting etc.

This isn’t to take away from outstanding photography and more to be encouraging.

I spent a week in a spare room photography water droplets coming out of an IV bag and it was really fun to play around with shutter speeds, lighting, and other items to get the best shots.

It’s expensive if you start buying more things but if you did try then get a used camera body and some cheap lenses and see if you like it.

What’s the benefit of port forwarding when using a VPN?

That’s a good point. It would be interesting to see how this relates to alcohol and if they see similar effects.

Same. Plus hobbies and interests change so there is always new stuff coming and old stuff going.

Thanks. This makes perfect sense and I agree I think recipes should use weight. I don’t know what a cup of flour is but I do know how to weight out 200g.

Hey that looks cool thanks.

Great username btw.

A teaspoon is 5g right? So half would be 2.5g or does it depend on the item in question?

I believe it is an investment or trading company that dabbled I know crypto at one point.

You should play Factorio. Although there is a great risk you will never leave the house again.

Curious how you got on with the Rubik’s cube?

So I do all my software development on my work pc at the office and the one at home.

My personal computer, which is heavily over specked, is used to play Minecraft, Factorio, and RDR2. I do use for non gaming stuff too though, but that’s mainly 3D Printing.

I really don’t game a lot as don’t feel like using the computer when I’m off work and I’m into rock climbing in free time.
