Thanks Tata!<3 If people don't know the story of how Tata bought Jaguar and Land Rover, they should read it. One of my favourite quotes of Ratan Tata is - "We don’t sell broken businesses, we fix them."

If you do this behaviour regularly, they'll think you're gay. Like many mentioned, the bar is very low when it comes to being perceived as gay these days. Great for gay folks cos they've gone through shit. Good for them. They

Thanks for chiming in Ayewo. Appreciate it. Apart from the UX, I also meant that how long should we run from the fight? Both the App store and play store definitely needs to be regulated more. But the user of the comment to which I replied

Cos users want mobile apps. When Roam research and Obsidian launched, one of the biggest thing people were ranting about was that their lack of mobile apps. Simple. Google also is dominating the browser market. Not to mention, I see Manifes

Couple of things to remember. Internet Archive is in the world scale. And you are already using a proprietary format with that book from 10 years ago. The post talks about keeping a tab on all the books available in Internet Archive. Which

Dude bootstrapped the company. Last I read, Zoho was working on solving some Japanese village's issue. Forgot exactly what it was about. Interesting guy and company who are solving problems. Kudos to them.

I seriously think Signal missed the boat with this one. I was one of those folks who used the WA privacy policy change to attract folks around me to use Signal. It worked and they all started using Signal as well. It would have been an easy

As someone who used Manjaro for ~4 years, Manjaro used to be a perfect system. I never borked my system in all those time. It had strong defaults and it taught me well that I am using Arch for the last 3ish years without issues. I will be g

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. This definitely makes me more hopeful about investing my time in Kivy! :)

Curious why Kivy framework which uses Python is not even mentioned. Is there something that I should be worried about? I am planning to learn Kivy soon.

I would at least recommend trying tauri.studio out instead of Electron. :)

by Gentil 4y ago
I usually agree with this sentiment of shipping vs not shipping. But Electron is just really bloated. You cannot install 10 apps and regularly use it. Most systems will just hang or crawl. Systems with 8GB should not be hanging because you

I feel like Emberjs is the PHP of JavaScript frameworks. People looove to BS about it with no apparent reason. I mean, everyone knows tech is moving fast. Especially the JS ecosystem. So now why are you talking sh*t based on your experience

Anything related to FB, Google, Apple and Microsoft is a privacy risk. Why do people need studies for this? Their practices were never good or is getting any better.

This view will stand only until you are effected directly. Which is a very careless way to look at it.

OK. This is a good article. But the title of the blog post is misleading. The author is talking about the privatized internet as in the infrastructure of the internet that is privatized. Not individual business privatization. Remember the

Interesting. Mine has been the least possible brightness with which I can read. Just turned it up a notch to match the room brightness. Let me experiment with it for some days. Thanks for taking the time to share your POV.

OK. A dumb question. So I've been using dim screen brightness to my computer monitor every since I started using glasses. Should I be increasing screen brightness? Cos I am very serious about having proper lighting on the room I work i
