I believe you about polish and performance, but that solution is neither open-source nor cross-platform (unless I failed to find it on the website).

That is a bit reductive, you also need the tools to write to the chip that the capsule is full, otherwise it is useless.

Looks very promising, but I am curious regarding the fixed goal of €25000: according to a quick napkin calculation, summing up all the units up for sale with their respective price, that still is only €20500, how does it work? Will you add

I don’t know the situation in the US well, could you point out one such regulation that would force a corporation to behave like a sociopath?

That is the new "home" they rolled out like two years ago. There is still a setting which lets you only have a predictable and managed feed, and assuming you block ads you have a decent experience with only tweets or retweets from

Wow after the first sentences I expected this website to be bad, but after checking their front page it is even worse than I thought.

I won’t speak for the spambots (which are dubious to be honest), or the banning/kicking which, while I know it happened in some places, was not really widespread. Most communities I’m in were in a "wait and see" position, hec

Neovim also "just works" over SSH, and vim fragmentation has always been a thing anyway (e.g. debian shipping vim-tiny by default which is technically vim but also very lacking). Also using IDEs vs text editors with plugins is a m

This is a gross misrepresentation of what is taking place. I don’t want to pick sides in the current chaos, but it’s not "paid for the domain", it is "managed to get the domain transferred to them". I do not believe any

They certainly can, it really depends on the music being compressed and the user’s preferences. MP3 often sounds "cleaner" thanks to shaving off part of the spectrum that is not as audible.

This kind of test is really tricky because you are either trained to recognize the artifacts of MP3 compression, or you are not in which case you just "trust your gut". And if you are used to listen to compressed music (e.g. youtu

This is… an interesting take. You mean that everything before the 1999 XMPP PoC was decentralized, and XMPP killed it? (despite the actual situation at the time being split between closed and centralized networks, like MSN, ICQ, etc). And X

The history of musescore is not really the brightest, which may explain why people do not trust them much ([0] and discussion). Yes, they shelved telemetry and listened to the community, which is good, but they still proposed an intrusive c

Working in adtech and trying to convince yourself (and others) you are doing the world a favor is a real equilibrium exercise. The false dichotomy between ads/paywall is not really useful, when the reality is that you often get a paywa

I am curious, is the diamond thing a US-centric trope? I do not know anyone here who genuinely cares about that sort of thing, generally people want some discreet metal ring. It may be a precious ore to symbolize the commitment but otherwis

I agree, to an extent, with your comment. But having sortable/chronological IDs on a single column is a really nice feature to have. Obviously, if you rely on the IDs to be unguessable/brute-forceable as part of your access contro

On the other hand companies can still mail you junk through the postal system, but they need your address for that (and also now your GDPR consent for processing and using PII, which they mostly will not risk to fake).

That is true, but we (as a society) still eat way too much meat compared to what is required as part of our nutritional intake. I don’t advocate getting the "just right" amount needed (because it is not really easy to compute depe

But who even wants to work for a minimum wage job for the pleasure of it? The corporation needs labor, but the employee need money, not labor (but it happens that most common way for normal people to earn money to live is through labor).

Same, there are plenty of competitive offers, and if I cannot upgrade my lifestyle (no commute, house instead of studio, etc) with my current employer, so be it.

Apart from the "WFH is not good for everyone" (which I agree with, and there are many situations where people actively do not want to WFH), there is also the internal company cult, which makes top management believe that people st
