I’ve actually had designers come to me with a concept for “a visual indicator that shows the user how they are progressing through the page”

I have seen those on blog and news sites, a thin horizontal bar (sometimes under the floating title) that fills as you scroll to the bottom. I don't get it either.

I see Microsoft Dynamics 365 and would like to introduce you its little brother: Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The language is C/AL, offshoot of Pascal, code editor does not support multi-line selection (let alone any features like highlighting or navigation), and source code control is managed by locking files.

Interesting, as an ESL speaker of US English (for several decades nonetheless) the timing sounds the reverse for me:

"I thought he died" seems to imply the death was recent, and "I thought he was dead" implies the death happened some time ago.

Recently, saw some survey that explicitly said 1-7 is "poor", 7-8 is "OK", and 9-10 is "great". Wild, not sure what the point of the scale is then.

Same with book ratings. Looking at StoryGraph, the average ratings I see is somewhere between 3.5 and 4.5. While I would rate a decent book a 3.

Born in Eastern Europe, live in the US, maybe that's why.

Isn't that a legitimate use-case for RSS (specifically Atom) though? My blog's feed just points to the plain-HTML pages with the post. It seems wasteful to put my entire site in a single, polled file.

Meanwhile, ironically, RFK and his Make America Healthy Again is at odds with Roundup:

Kennedy, though, has built a sizable following over many decades, in part, because of the lawsuits he’s waged against corporations, including the company that produced weedkiller Roundup.

I have not heard of USB-C wearing out yet. What devices are those? Have to be new enough to have USB-C.

Thanks for pointing this out. The list is made by a scraper (and I haven't updated it in a few months), so it probably missed some models depending on the model code.

Thanks for reposting, I subscribed to this community too.

postmarketOS is fully Linux (based on Alpine Linux) Choose this for more technical projects or if you want your phone to be like Raspberry Pi++.

LineageOS is a clean Android. Choose this for Android experience.

That would be great and I might add a scraper for xdaforums, but even XDA has a lot of dead links for old devices now.

The bottom button was on LineageOS 14-15 (Android 7-8 equivalent... So rather old now)

 

A small project to help out anyone trying to keep their old devices functional.

I wrote a script to scrape pages of some popular alternative OS projects (such as postmarketOS and LineageOS), and put them into a single list. I'll try to automate and keep this up-to-date. Any additional OS suggestions and comments are welcome!
