I did a quick search. Names were named by him here [1] in 2024 - but not as successors per se. More like candidates for important roles in the future. This [2] interview from 2020 touches the subject as well. I interpret it in a way that he

Security is my top priority (even above privacy) when it comes to internet browsers. My impression has always been that browser technology is a very hard subject and incredibly difficult to do right. This approach is the main reason I keep

Isn't the Linux ecosystem much more healthy and decentralized than Mozilla? We're so so blessed with Linus and everyone is afraid of the moment the project has to stand without him. But I'm confident he's aware and worki

If in doubt, search the Arch forums for posts about the model you consider to buy. Best case: Some threads come up, but all problems could be solved. Worst case: No threads, or a lot of threads about obscure errors.

This is a duplicate command to increase my chance of getting a late reply :) Hope that's fine. When I read comments like yours "Arch is a minefield" "With Arch it is so easy to shoot yourself in the foot", I never k

Hey, I might be too late to the party, but I'd love to get some more info to your comment. Imagine me: I'd consider myself a Linux noob, although I probably aren't anymore. I use Arch Linux for about 3 years now as my daily d

Agreed. Extra: I'd generally say, that comments on HN are often interesting and insightful (that's why we're here, no?). With the current state of social media, I'd wish for a little more HN flavor. But at least credit y

Just a quick note on the Youtube channel you mention: I follow his videos for a while and it seems to me, that he's half a shill. My impression is, that he re-models popular HN threads into Youtube videos. Just watch the latest video o

I don't want to translate titles, so you'll have to figure it out yourself. Anyways... Tolstoi, the 2 most important books. Dostojewski, the 2 most important books. Don Quijote. Umberto Eco is good. Frank Herberts Dune. Hermann He

Is this what they do with the Fedora i3 spin? Sounds (looks) a lot like it. I'm very new to Linux and I was wondering about "that other DE" when I just wanted i3. Maybe I have to go for Fedora Core + i3 separately then.

Sometimes it's just fun to see what all this fuss is about and delve into it. I used TikTok for a couple days and paid the zoo a visit. Like most people here (I'd assume), I closely observed myself using this app and wondered how

That's the point and the title is misleading. If you buy goods from an organization because you'd like to support their cause, that's not a donation but a simple purchase. Even though 'donation' is not mentioned her

Very interesting conversation for me. Thank you! Specifically I want to encrypt a folder with VeraCrypt for my data.

I am wondering wether this is a (considerably) secure method of generating passwords in general. The example I made was very simple and not creative. It only tried to illustrate what I am thinking about. Edit/ Addition: Can you share t

(1) I am certainly not the first one to think about that. (2) The example was just that and not very creative. There is an infinite amount of possibilities. Also I imagine it to be crutual to involve personal data somewhere (like the birth

Ask HN: Would you consider a password like this safe?

That's always an important question to ask when we discuss new ideas. New ideas doesn't arise for no reason. There are problems and people will ignore (not negate) them to defend the status quo when discussing alternative paths. A

It's an odd choice, I agree. It just doesn't sound like something that is going to succeed as a social media. This is 100% subjective and exclusively based on a feel. Edit, PS: I'd be glad to be proven wrong here. It's a

Remember, this was not intended to be public. You read this as a public statement when it's really just a leaked chat conversation. Your version might still be true, but this is not proof for it.

Yes I know. No one likes these guys /s I agree. As I've just stated in another comment, it's hard to say something with substance about philosophy in general. There are just a lot of different fields with individual axioms an

I agree. [I overlooked the "much of" in your first sentence. This would have been my reply: Yes with limitations. As I implied there are more kind of sciences. Philosophy itself has very diverse fields which have their own sets of

Thanks for the reply! Indeed it brings something to the table that I have not paid enough attention in my previous comment. I acknowledge that more often there are updated versions of previous arguments that hold their content 'better&

This is not an alternative to philosophy. This is philosophy. I'm afraid you have not escaped yet, sir.

I agree. Even though I think the comparison to physics doesn't fully found what you want to say. Physics is an empirical science with a rather neutral language to communicate its content. Arguments (much more 'findings') can
