The current mobile software ecosystem makes me so angry. We could truly have flip phones if only whatsapp, imessage, and whatever else were open protocols. Just program a simplified client that sips battery and is optimized for number keys

I don't know dude, I bought a Kobo Elipsa and finally I can study from my maths and physics textbooks that only come in PDF. I agree with you that it's terrible for reading in random access mode stuff like documentation. But for l

>Anyone is having the same issue? honestly, I am a bit perplexed by your wording. there are no issues , you are simply using a very very very small screen. just buy a big e-ink reader like the Kobo Elipsa

I was talking about non proprietary boards on the whole, not just the CPU. Also if everything is documented it's not a big deal to customize your bootloader to do all the needed stuff. Of course standards would be very welcome, but at

Canon's EOS Webcam Utility supports cameras down to the EOS 1100D, which, depending on your level of luck, you can find used under $100. Then all you need is a kit lens which can be found for very very cheap nowadays. Or, if you really

Developers should just stop putting up with this nonsense and start migrating to non proprietary RISC-V boards. We already have low cost options for developers who want to get their feet wet, the moment we start having a decent community ar

I already wrote in my comment that at most I can see very motivated writers wanting this device, so your first link is not an answer. I already wrote in my comment that programming would be impossible unless you literally mean just writing

Why would I need an underpowered laptop with a laggy e-ink screen and probably a bottom of the barrel keyboard? First of all it's a terrible reading experience. Why would I want to lug around a whole laptop to read some books? My 10.1&

I think some work should be put on the slider. The fast forward mode goes from decade to decade instead of just going from year to year faster. Also the site can't keep up with the accelerated speed so you miss tons of changes

I think that if you're going to make such a strong statement you should back it up with data. Are you really convinced there is some misterious thing at play that keeps your weight down? Then actually record everything you eat in a wee

I don't think so. Phoronix.com just over a year ago reported that a big GPU maker was going to open source their drivers. I can't find the link but I believe this thing has been in the making for a long while [edit] found it: htt

The moment this shit passes is the moment I straight up tell people I will not discuss about anything meaningful in our private online chats and if they want to talk we will have to arrange with proven FOSS tools.

For some obtuse reason people think software is some ethereal magic abstraction that somehow doesn't follow any rules or practices. We have to start pushing for the fact that yes, to engineer software you need a true engineer just like

I believe we should move to a world where programmers aren't required a degree and software engineers have very high requirements. Programming is very simple, turning a flow chart into code is as easy as mounting an IKEA furniture on

I mean, mindfulness is literally about taking a few minutes off to concentrate on yourself. I bet people who go on longs walks in nature to reflect by themselves also increase their "selfish" tendencies.

When half a million people follow something you are doing I think it should be time to ask yourself what the effects of your actions are. Do most people just waste their time watching you? Does what you do actually help people study or conc

Fun fact: just as the Chinese (and I think other asian cultures) utilize "rice"(their staple grain) as a synoym for a meal so in English we use the concept of a staple grain as a synoym for a meal: meal.
