As the parent you were asking, yes, I'd prefer a PDF - it's accessible, easy to generate and distribute, and ebook readers can handle them fine without you having to deal with typesetting for multiple formats.

Have you consider making the "handbook" available as a single file, i.e. a PDF containing the site contents? Some folk find it easier to scroll through that way (it can still support header links, etc.), rather than having to clic

Exactly! You'll be downvoted for pointing that out though...

The "many" you refer to is disingenuous, the target market for "send photos from phone to frame" isn't the same target market as "get hacky e-ink display and boot up micropython" ... They clearly show the

Pretty ignorant, pathetic, and asinine comment to make -- no wonder you're making it on a throwaway, coward ;)

It really wouldn't -- the Twitter Blue thing is BS to begin with: the checkmark is meaningless, and you shouldn't need to pay to have your tweets appear more prominently / higher in timelines. Twitter already nerfed the API i

That's perfectly ok -- it's saddening when there are demeaning comments like above -- it's elitist and exclusionary. You keep doing what you're doing -- I'm pleased to have encountered the world's most popular

Did GP claim to be on Apple Silicon? No? Stop assuming. That aside, if GP did run an Apple Silicon machine, there's also the market to buy used, and buy lower-spec models like the base-spec Mac Mini or MacBook Air. Once again, these

Absolutely this.

Most people aren't "mad" about this -- and in this case, GP is complaining that they simply don't want to, not that they can't afford it or anything. There are also fee waivers available for registered non-profits,

You realise the Apache came long before the ASF, servers, or the internet, right? Claiming the Apache people came long after the conception of the idea" is a ridiculous claim.

If you use it and want to develop for it, you can't really whine about how they do things and want to do things differently as an "act of protest" -- you either pay the money to do it their way -- which massively reduces the

How do you know they weren't gifted it, or bought it used, or that it's some older hardware revision? Wanting to work on software for macOS doesn't automatically mean you own a $3000 MacBook Pro...

How do you work that one out? The average user shouldn't need to delve into the command line -- whether it's macOS, Windows, Ubuntu (for example), whatever -- that's the whole point of a GUI. System Software (later Mac OS, fo

It's not hampering though, the "average user" can often get apps from elsewhere. Mainstream companies offer binaries available from their websites (Chrome, Slack, etc.) that don't require the App Store at all -- but most

That's not a fair comparison though -- if you screwdriver slips or you put the wrong screw in the hole, your sofa doesn't stop working -- but you could do real damage to your OS. IKEA furniture assembly involves very simple tasks

If you want to distribute FLOSS apps without cost, do so on platforms that support it, or look at how jailbroken iDevices can have apps side loaded. If you want to distribute Mac apps you don't need a Developer ID. You can literally co

It wasn't remotely a sequel, even though it seems to end up being called "Hackers 2" in some torrents and sites. Additionally, it was an incorrect smear campaign against Kevin Mitnick, full of inaccuracies. You'd be bett

Safest != easiest, you can't necessarily have both, at least not without decent expense. "Safety" from a "privacy perspective" depends on your threat model, and how you feel about cloud storage. There are obviously
