Just in case: there are yellow glasses marketed specifically for use at the computer and for avoidance of blue light. (This is not an endorsement, however.)

Any extension that injects JS on the page on arbitrary sites, is marked as having access to all data—because it does. But it's the only way that interface-modifying extensions can work, if you want them kick in automatically.

From what I remember, you could choose a layer to use as a mask for quality. However, I haven't touched PS in more than ten years, and I can't even find screenshots of versions earlier than ~CS5 from a quick search. Perhaps it was

Putting the article aside for a bit: as a person with phantom nostalgia for cypherpunk, I'm concerned about the prospect of the CBDC—but I don't understand how corruption is supposed to work with that. One thing that Western comme

Ah, yes, the ‘response’, the ‘sanctions’. I'm sure that Germany and Poland will also stop buying natural gas from Russia, to hit Putin and his buddies where they actually give non-zero shits. Any day now—after all, everyone is so enrag

‘The Naked Pravda’ happens to have an episode on the differences between the Russian ‘foreign agent’ status and its US counterpart, and in the practices of how they're used: https://meduza.global.ssl.fastly.net/en/

Another such shocker is that WikiLeaks is not based in the US.

By the way, Kevin Rothrock is the host of the podcast ‘The Naked Pravda’ from Meduza, which is one of the main independent news outlets in Russian now—created by former staff of Lenta.ru after that came under ownership of an oligarch and be

Hmm, I looked into the law, and you seem to be right. Not sure now why the law was treated as the end of ‘independent’ Yandex News back then—though of course it was obvious that the gov wanted to control it and did everything it could think

The first thing to do is to stop writing loud clickbait titles. And I don't mean on Wikipedia.

Please explain how Yandex News is supposed to transmit anti-government news, when there's been a ‘news aggregators’ law for years, which specifically forbids them to do that.

The ‘golden share’ has nothing to do with Sberbank's money. It's specifically an ultimate voting instrument, passed on to a government-owned company, under an agreement with the government that was worried about lack of control ov

I see you aren't aware that foreign companies can have local daughter companies that do business like any other local firms. And that Yandex has its operations smoothed over with the government long, long ago. Did you really think that

Oof, I'm sure that there are quite a bunch of companies that are sufficiently rich and either government-owned or coincidentally close to Putin's clique, which would like to snatch Yandex when it's declared bankrupt. Can&#x27

by aasasd 5y ago
By the way, ‘lapsus’ as a slang-ish Russian word was around perhaps until 1970s or 1980s. Quite rare today. Means ‘a dumb mistake’. It comes from Latin, and Wiktionary says that it's used in English and Romance-family languages, but I&

Eeeh, I already see from your description that your needs are different from mine, and Emacs and Org-mode tend to be customized by everyone to their smallest wants. You won't find a shortage of articles about Org, including here on HN.

Excellent. My favorite implementation of Pong is PLBM Pong from the DOS days: you can make the ball crawl at first and speed up gradually until it's all frantic jiggling of the paddles. Much fun've been had in the two-player mode.

Paschenko is a pretty curious guy. IIRC he makes both digital art and physical works, and—again IIRC—they tend to be atmospheric like this site, if perhaps a bit less cryptic. He's big time into Orthodox Christianity—supposedly the dom
