I use Adobe Source Sans and Source Code. With Inter, I'd probably use Hack, an update on the great DejaVu Mono which was also the source of Apple's Menlo, their previous default. It shares some features with Inter like a single-st

Personally all my Linux machines use Adobe Source Sans as the default font, but Inter would be my replacement for San Francisco. https://rsms.me/inter/

The Nokia 1 I'm typing this on runs Android (Go edition) (shipped with 8; upgraded to 9 then 10) and cost $75 in the US a year ago, with free shipping from Amazon, so seems doable.

I actually like the pdf.js viewer enough that I use the chrome extension version on chromium. But I see it hasn't been updated in over a year now. Hopefully it will get updated! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d

I'd similarly prefer a low-headroom bunk bed. I think the problem is bracing for take-off and landing and evacuations.

You can also run PDF.js on Chromium browsers with the extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pdf-viewer/oemmndc...

Hear, hear. Celebrate diversity! FWIW, VS Code uses Ctrl+Shift+K by default for Delete Line. I'm used to it enough that I sometimes try it in other apps, like Chromium text boxes …

Since 90+% of the time I have the browser open. An epub book is just a weird, constrained website, another type of document to read. Not saying there shouldn't be an app for those who want it.

I already have the "Always show full URLs", so you know what I prefer, but isn't this the same or similar to Safari's default behavior for a while? I don't hear anyone still complaining about that.

Really wish it was a Chromium extension (or PWA) rather than separate app.

I'm writing this from desktop linux (so I like desktop linux) but the market for linux in servers and other non-desktop uses is much bigger. Yes they target desktop software with Snaps, but also non-desktop software, which is where Sna

Personally I use Android partly because of the lack of web engine choice on iOS, but this isn't strictly true AFAIK. Apple does require the same WebKit/JavaScriptCore, but other code beside the UI skin can be different, such as th

I used older version of 1Password on Mac and use KeePassXC on Ubuntu now. 1P is definitely slicker, and presumably the subscription comes with support. For me, not a worthwhile trade-off, but could be worth if for some people, especially th

I think the SSDs on all the T2 computers are built-in to the mobo — the T2 is the disk controller — so not even a removable card on the back side like the iMacs models up to now.

Pleasantly surprised on the size (144 × 70 × 8.2 mm): really only larger in one dimension from the Nokia 1, the size of which I love (134 × 68 × 9.5 mm).

I set alacritty to bind chars: "\x03" which is what Ctrl+C normally sends, to Ctrl+Shift+C, and copy to Ctrl+C. This is after getting used to the default behavior of VTE-based terminals (like GNOME Terminal), which set Ctrl+Shift+

IIRC they used StrongARM for the last models, the Apple MessagePad 2000 and 2100. (I bought a used MP2K after the Newton was discontinued that I used in high school. Fun little device!)

My understanding for part of it is that magstip readers were much more common in the US, and businesses (a) didn't want to pay to upgrade all their terminals and (b) don't want to turn away a purchase because a customer doesn&#x27
