Yeah, I don't really get it. Why screw up your own page deliberately so that it cannot be normally accessed? I mean the amount of actual effort and man-hours put into making something worse is beyond me And I can only imagine, how sc

I hope that there will be more and more of us :-) Usually when I get empty page I just close the tab and move on. Very rarely the content is so unique and in general worth the hassle anyway. The thing is that you enable JS and it will load

The problem is that pages today are waaay too bloated and they use JS to download a bunch of unnecessary crap such as various trackers and "analytics" etc. And with the WebAssembly there is even more tracking the page can do (no t

Honestly I'd go for ~15" or similar, but that's not the option (yet).

My laptop is my primary and only work machine. I run a lot of VMs and operations on some bigg-ish datasets. RAM disks are quite a good way to expedite these things - along with two SSDs.

I absolutely will be :-) And I really hope that it will have these features as I would really love to have Framework laptop and support RtR!

It absolutely can. I don't really need a laptop that is razor thin :-)

The questions I always ask: - Does it have atlest two m.2 slots? - Can I have WIFI and WWAN (5G)? - Can this fit 4 RAM sticks? (96-128G RAM) - Does it have a 4k display? (it's 2023, come on!) Still not many computers do offer these p

I don't want to be a killjoy here. Don't get me wrong, this is certainly a good thing but to me it seems like most major trackers are moving/has already moved to things like canvas fingerprinting, WebAssembly fingerprinting e

Well, this is nice but in reality useless. You can run Linux on ancient Apple devices such as 2009 iMac but not really on anything newer. I want to have modern peripherals and experience such as 4k display, USB-C, reasonably fast wifi/

If you want to be sure, you have to pin your TLS certificates. That way someone either has to decompile your executable and replace that pinned cert (hard if you use SW signing), crack your signature (not likely) or steal your private key.

Yeah I don't understand why Apple does not force its developers to use such connection for day or two in work. I'm very sure that they would notice because even shell gets pretty unusable - and if you have Oh My ZSH with plugins s

Not really but you can simulate this by either using iPhone as an AP and forcing 3G if possible or you can hide behind linux proxy and set up packet dropping (can be done with nftables) random packets. That will result in almost unusable sy

The problem with online checks (gatekeeper) are when you have flaky internet connection. It can handle no connection quite well, but unstable internet is really a PITA - commands and applications lag randomly when launching etc... It took m

I never said it is the same as open furnace. I just said that there is a distinct lack of health considerations around this idea. And your commend really underlines my statement. I mean, IR is not visible and if I can't see it, it can&

Yeah in "normal amounts" - basically what body expects from the sun. :) I have not calculated the power output of those LEDs, I merely pointed out the fact that I don't think healt consequences should be completely overlooked

That is simply not true. For example: There are, in fact, known risks to near-infrared radiation exposure. Erythema ab igne, for example, is a disorder characterized by a patchy discoloration of the skin and other clinical symptoms. It is c

I don't know - kinda seems unwise to blast yourself with IR. You may not feel it immediately but I would certainly not rule out any long-ish term healt consequences.

This looks quite nice - for some time I have been trying to list all tabs in Chromium window so I can stick it to proper workspace (I'm using i3) - one for general browsing and one for IM/socials. If this can identify the window (

Yup - took me few minutes to figure out why my Portage package pcalc has quite a different TUI. Not the best move to name it like that I'd say.

Honestly I missed Calculator.app along with Mail.app on Linux quite a lot! I settled with Qalculate - it can do some things as Spotlight (currency conversion) and also quite nice for programmer-related tasks. Although I miss few features he

Honestly I ran Mac for 3 years or so and i3 was one of the reasons I went back to the Linux. That and the "war on hackers" that Apple seem to wage last few years also did not help (breaking uBlock in Safari, inability to permanent

I do too, but I find it distracting when for example something opens a popup menu and the original window dims/fades away. Tried also transparency and it really does not work for me either.

I look at that thing most of the day. I don't think it is that unbelievable that I'd like to look at something a little bit nicer than default i3. :shrug:

Thank you for your work on i3-gaps, Airblader. I've been using it for years now. Started with plain i3 but quickly wanted something a bit more elegant and nicer to look at. I had 2 hi-res monitors so I was willing to sacrifice few pixe

Unfortunately it does not load images (Vivaldi, Linux, adBlock). JS enabled/disabled makes no difference. Pity :-(
