Voice chat servers have long had a "push to talk" feature that only sends your audio when you're holding a send key.

Has anyone ever implemented something like that for video conferencing? Just making the idea of "I don't want my video constantly streamed" a first-class feature?

Also: *why* is it constantly out-of-date? Does it break compatibility with every minor release? Is the plugin updating itself automatically, but not also updating the binary automatically?

@NfNitLoop ("Cody C. #BLM") replied to a tweet by @NfNitLoop:

i.e.: It seems like if it has stopped working because the binary is out-of-date, it should somehow ... tell me? Before me randomly trying a restart?

When using rust-analyzer in #VSCode, I often run into this:

1. Code intelligence broken, think I'm doing something wrong for N minutes
2. Restart VSCode
3. Prompted to download new version of rust-analyzer
4. Things work again 🎉

Is there a way to avoid #1?

The first time I used a web browser in a GUI, I got what the big deal was.

I don’t remember the program but it operated by first downloading images to a Unix shell, then downloading them to my computer with zmodem. I’m not sure if SLIP or PPP existed yet - I didn’t have either.

Though, around then I spent most of my time online accessing a BBS over telnet. (ISCABBS. ❤️)

I first used the Lynx browser in a terminal over dialup. I don’t remember if it was 2400 baud or 14.4kbps. But I think it was 2400 because that’s what worked with our Macintosh Classic.

I remember being unimpressed. Gopher still seemed simpler and faster to navigate.

We bought "Swords of Ditto: Mormo's Curse" as couch co-op game. Cute, fun, easy to pick up and put down. Definitely recommend. :)

TIL: #QRCode allows multiple encodings (ex: kanji/byte/alphanumeric/numeric) in one QRCode.

Also, JSON Web Signatures limits characters to 100 values. So each character can be encoded as 2 "numeric" characters.

Was this also the mindset of “gay marriage will devalue my marriage”?

Were folks trying to build marriage equity to cash in to get into heaven? 😆

"home equity is a way to build wealth" means banking on the value of housing continuing to increase, which means limiting supply, especially in high-demand areas

"housing is a human right" means building enough housing that everyone can comfortably live where they want to

@cpratt @Blithe Plus, @geimkisi found out that in the next version of iOS you can "scan" the QR code image (without taking a picture of it w/ your camera), and add it to the Health app.

@cpratt @Blithe In the meantime I got nerdsniped into skimming the technical specification for the data format in the QR code you get:
https://spec.smarthealth.cards/

Looks like they're cryptographically verifiable so more difficult to forge than those little paper cards.

@isntitvacant I’ve been doing that for the last few months. It’s “fun” running into all the windows-specific bugs that other devs don’t hit since they’re elsewhere. 😬

Ex: https://github.com/NfNitLoop/feoblog/issues/16

(Tho TBH it’s a welcome change in my lifetime that Windows is the minority dev platform.)

Had used borax traps before but they seemed to attract more in the short term until they started to die. The oil seems to repel them all in hours.

Did you know peppermint oil repels insects? And in particular ants?

The ants around our new apartment seem very invasive, even when there’s no food to be found near their trails. Have used peppermint oil to encourage them to go elsewhere twice and it’s worked surprisingly well.
