my understanding is that Automattic pay for it because it doesn't cost them much and their income comes from other sources, mainly WordPress. That is a pretty stable stream of income, but you're right that they could be treating t

Just did. KDE is more stable than ever before. I'm on 5.24.4 on Arch, fwiw.

KDE stores a lot of dotfiles. I have had luck preserving my config because I don't wipe my root folder, but aside from that it's quite hard to migrate from one PC to another.

I think it looks pretty good! That said, I think having to click a small "read more" link instead of the post title on your main page is not great UX.

Cute, but #3b3b3b is still grey. Either the author has moved over to the dark (lighter?) side in the several years since publishing this, or it's just hypocrisy.

Fedora is really great, but it is a bit bleeding edge in that there are lots of updates all the time. I have found Arch with an LTS kernel (I use older hardware) to be about similar in terms of stability.

I don't mind being a "HaX0r" if it means fiddling around with configs and code on my own system. That's not what's happening here though.

Financial pressure is also societal. I just feel like all this crying foul about authoritarianism is because people view certain roles, even the essential ones, as beneath them. If that mindset needs to be changed then I'm all for it.

Regarding point 1, how is "the people who we force to" an acceptable answer to this? Because that's exactly what happens now. No one wants to work hard, dirty jobs, but there is a societal pressure upon them to, and enough in

Because as long as you can do one, you have no reason to do the other if you are not philosophically inclined to. They are absolutely at odds with each other.

At the end of the day these arguments always come down to people thinking they're superior than the peasants who "need unions", possibly because they can't imagine organizations where people work for the welfare of peopl

The faithful are still on Roam. Others have moved to: 1. Obsidian: has bidirectional linking and knowledge graphs, is faster and better supported, but doesn't have the outlining structure that Roam is based on. 2. Logseq: basically an

I get that Markdown is expected to be rendered into HTML eventually, but I find the syntax useful in its raw form too, just for formatting text files.

Setting fires under people in the hopes that they rise against their government that would not have much trouble quashing such an uprising doesn't make much sense beyond fulfilling power fantasies some people get off on. Sanctions are

Same, but with Qt. KDE has done a remarkable job at making GTK applications look native too though.

It's certainly in Paul Graham's interest that people who cultivate cults of personality continue to be treated like royalty.

Well, this is a year-old article and his YouTube account is still active and uploading as of 5 days ago. Not that he and his reactionary nonsense would be missed.

We should keep it. The benefit from switching is miniscule, and the value lost in continuity and recognizability is massive. I'm tired of designers chasing fads.

The most important, non-negotiable thing to me is a quick launch. It has to go from 0-100 (or at least to usable), as fast as possible. Among text editors Sublime is still the gold-standard for this, launching even faster than Notepad++ som

Do you know how much ads pay? It's peanuts. And really, the "full lifetime value" isn't much. These fads die out really quickly. If anything, this is a win for almost everyone. Dev gets paid handsomely, code still remain

That's fine. But it's not really a standard. Just an approach, and not one that is guaranteed to work unless that's an explicit goal for the program involved. Tbf, you can do the same thing on Linux with AppImages.
