No matter how many years pass, downloading something from SourceForge feels like downloading a sketchy patched executable from a eastern european forum or a game mod from some community managed website.

A long time ago I thought about a similar method but applied to music. What if you injected in every sold or streamed version of a song some kind of slightly different version of an instrument? Maybe if the piece has a cowbell it could ring

The state of web browsing on the Pinephone is awful mostly because of the UI. When using the Gnome browser all the websites I visit (which I admit are mostly lightweight like HN) are very pleasantly rendered and fast to scroll and interact

The funny thing is that PinePhone's problems almost entirely fall on the software side. I think we can all agree that for basic smartphone usage the base PinePhone is plenty overkill. How much processing power do you need to send messa

We are drowning in spam because the spammers use automatic systems while we don't or can't. When I receive a call from a number outside my contacts that has never called me before I want a dialog to pop up after I close the call t

Unrelated question: it seems to me that the majority of music is recorded/mastered in a bad way. This is especially painful when I'm trying to judge a new pair of headphones. What do you think are some music albums that really hit

Please read again my comment. If tomorrow all the Linux C codebased switched to Rust I would have almost zero problems about it. My problem stems from having multiple toolchains to build the foundations of an operating system.

I already loathe the fact that I need Perl to compile the kernel just because people are too lazy to rewrite a few parsing scripts in C. The moment Rust is introduced in Linux without being a complete replacement is the day I leave for gree

It's a matter of principles. If you give people javascript and css they will use it, full stop. The reason why the web has evolved this way is because the people back then were responsible for it. You have to cut the hydra's head

If a "return to web 1.0" means going back to baroque and quirky websites on which I have to constantly fight to find information and not carve my eyes out out of digust then no, thanks. The Web was meant as a means to publish hype

I never claimed taking photos on a minuscule sensor with a plastic lens is identical to doing so with a high end DSLR. Stops refer to exposure and noise and depth of field have no bearing on a photo's correct exposure. It seemed to me

>Cell phone cameras are multiple stops slower than "real" cameras (i.e. they take in 1/4 to 1/8th as much light). this is not true. the iPhone camera's sensor receives the same density of light from its f/1.

I am talking about broad foundational results. Of course stuff like "we asked two teams of people to tug on a rope, the first had a prime number of members and had been told their pet dog died last night whereas the other followed a ke

I always find it worrying how companies and institutions completely disregard advances in psychological findings. How can anyone in good faith develop a social network after knowing this concrete reality of human connection capacity? How ca

This is just the project's web page, the UI and UX of the actual hosted instances is pretty good in my opinion
