I like how EA hit Battlefield 6 players with archwiki type shi, like convert your boot sector, update bios, enable UEFI, enable secure boot, update your OS to boot in secure mode

And use specific GPU drivers, because half of the game is shipped as part of a GPU driver now

From the day I started using Vite, I tried to find a good tool like `webpack-bundle-analyzer`, but for Vite. I waited for so long that I created it myself: github.com/Solant/vite-...

I'm genuinely interested in improving it, so if you have any feedback, let me know

I tried my best not to rhyme sass with ass, but it caused a massive long read. I don't like sass, btw

SASS is ... bad

Found out a cool bug with Samsung Magician software on Windows: it captures your Ctrl + W system-wide inputs. Even in games. Absolute cinema. (not my system, I use arch, btw)

And before I forget to whine about the liquid glASS design: it reminds me of people who added glass backgrounds for every UI element. Back on WM 6.1 and early androids it was completely nuts.

I have a feeling that with the recent glASS redesign from Apple, we are starting to forget how shitty Microsoft software is.

And I'm here to remind you all. Seriously, do Microsoft managers even use their own products? How do they tolerate it? From the outlook, teams and even SSO.

Kind of crazy how long it took me to write something meaningful about Vue, which has been my primary framework for some years now.

I avoid using Nuxt as much as possible because every single time I try using it, something doesn't work as expected, and I have to cherry-pick module versions or do some obscure config shenanigans.

I really want to like it, but our feelings are not mutual 😥

To all my vibe indie shippers out there, please remember: the best way to earn money during the gold rush is to sell shovels

76.1k with shovels, minus 48.3k + 22.7k of shovels = 5.1k

I got some spare time to reflect on Firefox situation. I know that everyone did it like 10 thousand years ago, but my take is 100% unique and correct and cool and awesome

GitHub's code search feature is driving me nuts. It somewhat works when I try searching for a specific name, but when I try searching for a specific line of code, or even a multi-word string, it fails miserably.

I got that you have full-text search, just let me grep what I need.

To this very day, I stand by my opinion that classes in frontend code are harmful.

Opera mini did SSR first with just the perfect amount of JavaScript (0kb)

Setting up CMake toolchains on Windows feels like jumping through the spiked hoops during egg-and-spoon race. In the end I got a participation trophy: a working debugger.
