I use it all the time. For me, it's the only way I can signal that I don't think this post belongs on HN. For example, a submission about reintroducing bison on tallgrass prairies. HN is what we want it to be. We all make it. Pers

Good to see they are still working on this. I supported the project for the first year, then moved on to support others. I've just re-sponsored on GitHub Sponsors. If someone is willing and able to do the dirty work all across the Linu

Calling someone a "transphobe" is not strictly informational. What does that even mean? There are trans people who are against the trans self identity movement. And there are trans people who think that gender != sex. On that note

It's crazy that this happened at all, let alone in an art history context. For the record, there are at least two academic sources attesting that the prohibition on depiction of the prophet Muhammad are recent. 1. Wijdan Ali's Fr

Your comment was better when it was strictly informational. I didn't know Soapbox originated from Gab. That's interesting... As to your other assertion, the author's view on sex and gender would have been considered liberal t

Cool! This is the first time I've heard of it, though I'm new to the fediverse. Looks like the project has been super active for years: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox Also, I was pleasantly surprised

Regarding profile verification, Mastadon suggests doing it by putting an anchor tag with a link to your profile on a website. In this article the author suggests you can do it with a `<link>` tag instead. I prefer the link tag to an a

I agree with you. I use containers for local development stuff (need a different version of PostgreSQL? Need some obscure thing and don't want to build it?) and for CI obviously, but not for production. The paradigms are just too diffe

On a related note: the author links to his open source web mail platform Cypht. It looks cool and sounds promising. Anyone tried it? I can't remember if it has been on HN. The git history of the project is very active.

Oh my gosh, this is crazy. They can remotely disable your browser extension? I had just recently convinced a few people to switch from LastPass to Bitwarden. Personally I use pass with git, but that solution is not for non-technical people!
