I was so confused when the article said "See? If I embed this tweet, you can't see it" but it was there to me (since Twitter JS is blocked by at least two extensions in my browser). Thank you for pointing that out!

When the public administration does things with pen and paper, it's blamed for being ancient and "should get with the times". Now they are getting on with the times, but the times are ones ruled by giant American companies wi

The scope at which those alternatives exist are different than where the monopoly is established. Ie. The App Store has a monopoly on iOS, but iOS does not have a monopoly in the mobile space. This is like saying a state-mandated ISP/G

The web was "normal" before corporations started abusing it since it was not regulated. Europe is merely putting adding those regulations so corporations can stop ruining the web for us. If you think this is bad, our (Italy) priva

I think the biggest misconception about mechanical keyboards is that they exist to give a specific experience (clicky/loud keys). Mechanical keyboards are all about choice, some people like to stab keys and want the super duper heavy-d

Not switching from Node, but I've been building some Typescript libraries that are mainly for the browser and when building command line app versions for them, Deno worked out of the box while Node has hiccups (no Fetch, no Websockets,

I like to think that GDPR did some good by completely ignoring technical limitations and going "no, just find a way to do it". It forced people to address some privacy concerns that no one cared about (like deleting someone's

In my experience, I feel it's getting better in some regards, worse in others. I used to be Visual Studio only but nowadays I refuse to install that VS in any capacity if I can help it: the installer is broken, the app takes forever to

Cat-V proposed HTTP 0.2 (< http://http02.cat-v.org/ >) as a subset of HTTP and I think the idea is neat. Tho I also personally don't like that HTTP gets blamed for the modern web's shortcoming when I think it&

the centralized part will eventually fail, the federated will live on. You could have argued that RSS got centralized with Google Reader, but Google Reader died and RSS feeds are still alive.

Some of my friends are finding a lot of neat websites under https://neocities.org , a Geocities-inspired service. They are all light and easy to parse, so I hope everyone there the best! If you have a friend who'd like to me

Not related to the dislike feature in particular, but Youtube is definitely losing the next generation of creators. Plenty of people are using TikTok as their main platform nowadays, as it has bigger reach for their markets.

I'm an avid user of Caddy but I think the more time it passes and the more opinionated it gets, the worse it becomes overall. I don't object to highly opinionated takes but when your biggest selling point is how neat the configura

Oh the shebang line is a really nice tip I didn't think about! Something worth noting is that Deno also has permission APIs that let you query the current permission status and interactively ask for more: https://deno.land&#

If they want .NET to really go mainstream outside Windows, they have to back off pushing for VS so hard. So far, they have been more convincing in getting me back into .NET than they have getting me back into Visual Studio, locking .NET fea

If you control the device and binaries then you will always be one step above everyone else. If someone was dumb enough to use HTTP and just switched to HTTPS, I'm 99.9999% sure they won't check what certificate is being used and

There are multiple projects re-implementing older DirectX over either Vulkan and DX12, both have impressive improvements in certain cases. Check out dxvk and dgVoodoo 2!

This is only valid as long as the project remains GPL licensed. Musegroup has a new CLA and said that they made it sign to all past contributors, which allows them the right to relicense the product as they fit. While the fact that their pr

I think floatplane by itself never wants to compete with Youtube, they know they can't scale that much and just want to provide creators with a second option for supporters. If LTT were to disappear from Youtube I bet they'd still

If they cared they'd try something like what OpenSolaris did (file-based GPL alternative so they could have copyleft on code but still ship binaries). I'm not advocating for another viral license but there are definitely ways arou
