Users and Issues

First off, there was this post from the Ghostty project, "Why users cannot create Issues directly". You know how users can be, right? This dev was talking about how people just can't seem to create issues, even when there are super clear templates. The comments were hilarious, like, someone said users just "completely lose all notions of language comprehension" when things go wrong. Another person pointed out that sometimes CLI tools don't even show the templates, so it's not always the user's fault. But yeah, classic user problems.

Food Delivery App Confessions

Okay, this one was a shocker: "I'm a developer for a major food delivery app". This guy confessed that they use customer tips to cover the drivers' base wages, not as extra! And that "priority delivery" thing? He said they just artificially delay normal orders to make priority seem faster. People in the comments were absolutely furious, with some saying they deleted their DoorDash accounts right after reading it. Total scammy move, makes you wonder about all those apps.

Own Your Content with POSSE

There was a cool concept called "Publish on your own site, syndicate elsewhere", or POSSE. It's all about owning your content – like your blog posts or whatever – on your own site first, and then pushing it out to social media. People were talking about how it's a good way to keep control of your stuff, and someone even suggested turning your long tweet threads into actual essays on your own site. Smart, right?

HPV Vaccine Success

Here's some genuinely good news: "HPV vaccination reduces oncogenic HPV16/18 prevalence from 16% to <1% in Denmark". Denmark basically wiped out the cancer-causing strains of HPV with their vaccination program! That's a massive drop. In the comments, someone shared a really personal story about getting cancer and regretting not getting vaccinated when they were younger. Really highlights the impact of these public health efforts.

Daft Punk Easter Egg?

This one was just fun: "Daft Punk Easter Egg in the BPM Tempo of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger?". The theory is that the song's BPM, which is 123.45, isn't some complex musical choice, but because a manager just mashed the numbers 1-2-3-4-5 on a keyboard! The comments were debating if music gear back in 1999/2000 even supported fractional BPMs. Hilarious if it's true, imagine that being the genius behind it!

Plain Text Finances

For the super nerdy out there, this guy wrote about "10 years of personal finances in plain text files". He uses double-entry accounting to track everything in Ledger. A lot of comments were like, "Yeah, I tried double-entry, it's confusing," or "I just use a spreadsheet." But gotta respect the dedication to keeping it all in plain text!

IPv6 Still Waiting

And finally, dude, get this: "IPv6 just turned 30 and still hasn't taken over the world"! Can you believe it? Thirty years! The article and comments talked about how people don't really feel an IPv4 shortage on their end, and ISPs are slow to adopt it. Someone made a good analogy, saying it's like how phone numbers gradually added digits over decades. But man, 30 years and we're still waiting for the big IPv6 revolution, huh?
