Going to wait until Christmas, but our ten year old Apple TV is about to get an upgrade.

@arstechnica.com not sure if you've covered this before, but it looks like @github.com is having issues with crypto currency spam notifications again, only now there's no way to clear them out of your inbox.

It's making collaborating on GH very challenging!

😌 Hey @markbennett.ca! There's a gentle optimism in your messages. Your sentiment score is 0.19 (slightly positive). Love seeing those hints of positivity. Why not express it more openly?

Sometimes it’s almost worse having poor internet, rather than none at all, as sites / apps will try to operate in online mode and do so poorly, rather than using offline caching. As a dev it’s a hard situation to handle.

Wow, that’s some tight bandwidth! Easy to forget how common constraints can be, and how important performance remains.

Cannot upvote Temporal enough. I know it's a lot of work for browsers, but it will be so nice to stop shipping Moment or similair in every app with timezones.

Curious to get @deno.land thoughts on this JSR critique. Would be curious if JSR can tell a better story in these situations.

On-device translation perhaps? 🐝

Very cool! I didn’t realize that this wasn’t an option already!
