@mahryekuh@hachyderm.io Very cool but much smaller than expected, I think they do a lot of clever camera tricks to make it seem bigger.

@mahryekuh@hachyderm.io I recently visited the living museum where they shoot the British Repair Shop 😁 Shows like that sometimes make me annoyed that buying new often makes more sense than repairing, and the new thing is usually lower quality.

@accudio I had something similar when I had an MRI last year. I should've picked a classical radio station but instead I had to somehow stay still during this https://youtu.be/WSh7U3m9KgA

@sarajw@front-end.social That's one of the most annoying things, it can be helpful but you never know when it's going to lead you up the garden path.

@sarajw@front-end.social That matches my experiences too, I always ask for references now if it doesn't provide them as it often makes stuff up. I've found it's better at debugging JS though, not so much anything visual rendered in the browser. Still, it's sometimes a handy, but expensive, rubber duck to bounce ideas off.

@jimniels If it's shaping my management style now then I pity whoever I might manage in the future!

I'm really hoping the Navigation API will be in Interop 2025. My view transitions pet project is currently Chromium only and that's 💩 #CSS #JavaScript

@ross@fosstodon.org Not only an indictment of the printer industry but of LLMs too. You can tell the author has just had enough.
