@Dmdboi @SopelIRC Yep, that looked like a natural replacement. Will ask them if we can use their backend just like we did with your project, or if there's a public API.

Thanks for the last ~3 years!

[dgw @hidgw]

@Dmdboi I'm looking for a better search method to include in the next version of @SopelIRC's xkcd plugin. Found your little side project, and am wondering if it's possible to query https://t.co/beQIfhuqZj programmatically via some officially-supported method.

[dgw @hidgw]

@Dmdboi @SopelIRC Hey, hope everything's OK in Diamond-land :)

https://t.co/beQIfhtT9L seems to be in the "redemptionPeriod" status, so I'm thinking we should look into a replacement search backend for Sopel's xkcd plugin?

[dgw @hidgw]

@Dmdboi @SopelIRC Just getting your blessing to use the backend directly is enough :)

I think it's poor form to use a private API like that without at least asking first, so thanks for replying!

@gklst Any help for those of us hitting a "data and hash arguments required" error at sign-in?

@hulu_support Just reached S5 E19 and it is missing subs as well

[dgw @hidgw]

@hulu_support Significant accessibility issue: Subtitles for George Lopez S5E08 are "not available" on Hulu's LG webOS or Android app (the two platforms I have available to test right now).

I just use subs for convenience, but this would be *awful* for a D/HH user!

@BestBuySupport No worries, I was out of cell reception for while and didn't even notice the delay 😁

I'll keep up with the DM thread when possible.

[dgw @hidgw]

@BestBuySupport I have a few points of feedback on a recent delivery order:

1. Laptop carton was loose in a much larger shipping box w/no padding.

2. Laptop carton (open box) was only loosely taped shut.

3. Laptop was apparently ON in transit; no need to boot for OOBE screen.

[dgw @hidgw]

@BestBuySupport Sent several photos, now pausing until someone has seen the DM thread so it won't be so overwhelming.

I'll check back when possible through the rest of the day and tomorrow

[dgw @hidgw]

@BestBuySupport Got it, I'll send what I can now and follow up if there's anything else you'd like to know via DM.

[dgw @hidgw]

@BestBuySupport Happy to send a more detailed write-up (with photos, if desired!) via email if you can give me the correct channel to contact.

[dgw @hidgw]

@BestBuySupport The good news is:

1. The laptop appears to be undamaged despite lack of shipping material.

2. The charger was present, as was LG's stack of documentation (though it was loose, not in the envelope).

3. I got great help from CS with redirecting the parcel when I had to travel :)

@ExtremeTech Link in the article goes to ndof10 [dot] org and is thus broken

@eastersealshq Thought you might like to know that if someone tries to visit https://t.co/cUt7BTAYbT in a browser that defaults to HTTPS, they'll get a "Connection refused" error.

https://t.co/tJi5F8QogU does not work; https://t.co/cUt7BTAYbT redirects correctly

@_ButterflyMX Trying to pin down a suspicious text from [phone], and found https://t.co/WeGDu7kiDq by searching the number.

However, the blog post lists 322 for four of your numbers. Is it really 332? Do you use different numbers for SMS?

[dgw @hidgw]

@propublica This is a random question, and maybe you don't reply to tweets, but:

In the Nonprofit Explorer, could the graphs here be made to sync which year is highlighted as the user hovers over the bars?

Open990 used to have synced-up data tables; this would be similar.

[dgw @hidgw]

@markobaric @gitpod @shimdh @Codeanywhere That's… um… expensive, compared to Gitpod's totally free resources for FOSS maintainers. And for the base plan, *one* pinned workspace? I have a dozen or two at any given time.

You appear to still have other competitors who offer recurring free usage, so I'll check them out.

[dgw @hidgw]

@gitpod @shimdh This is a demoralizing step for people like me who have used Gitpod to supercharge FOSS work.

I already don't have enough time to spend on the FOSS work as it is, and don't have a Mac for the local app. Are you seriously removing the hosted CDE product?

[dgw @hidgw]

@gitpod @shimdh The value proposition of Gitpod (now "Classic") *for me* was that it's one-click, runs anywhere you have a browser.

Runners I have to manage in my own cloud tenant somewhere isn't really saying goodbye to local development in the fullest sense, IMO https://t.co/102EFDwHNz

[dgw @hidgw]

@JBLaudio Are you the correct company to contact about a possible issue with AKG wireless headphones?

As a road passenger I've noticed my Y600NC pair cutting out if the road surface is rough, as if vibration is shaking something loose inside the headphones.

[dgw @hidgw]

@GamersNexus I've been offered to either keep the Deck (LE model) with its dead subpixel in the middle of the screen, or get a refund.

BOE did Valve and its most dedicated customers no favors with that awful batch of screens!

[dgw @hidgw]

@GamersNexus Ooh, you put out a video about ASUS handheld repair (https://t.co/dFqCppsDOp) just as I'm dealing with a third OLED Steam Deck with pixel issues.

Valve isn't as bad as what you had here, of course! But they still now sound like they will not actually fix the issue.
