   Just from watching the video it looks great :-) What I like especially is the idea of teaching the keyboard shortcuts while using the software. In addition, the avatar mode sounds like it could be really fun. Any chance of increasing the si

   I am very unhappy with this change. I always liked that I could keep my ebooks/Polar Libary in my Nextcloud, but now it sounds like that isn't possible anymore :-/ I tried the cloud version in the past, but it had only disadv

   Imagine combining this technique with the encoding of software like youtube-dl in this twitter post: https://twitter.com/GalacticFurball/status/13197659867911577... Probably hard to get it working in every environ

   If you are wondering what all those files in /bin are, some of them exist, because they are part of the POSIX standard and have to be present in every POSIX compliant system. A good overview over these commands can be found here: http

   In my opinion, the option -r should only be allowed as the last parameter. Maybe with the exception of -f. Everything else is just f *ing dangerous. I mean, I use the # hack sometimes too, but when I don't, I find myself often being a

   I prefer using Firefox anyway, but if you want to dig deeper regarding your Chrome GPU acceleration you might find the following pages valuable: chrome://gpu/ -- here you can see the current status of your GPU Acceleration ch

   While I agree that Bluetooth enables a lot of relevant use-cases with an open standard, I still see room for improvement: - I still hate that the listening experience degrades as soon as I want to use a microphone simultaneously - connectin

   Well, I am not sure I understand what you mean. There are two distinct GPU Acceleration technologies at work here: - for videos - for website rendering AFAIK the video acceleration part is the big problem as the issue was ignored for many y

   Another valid use-case is to use the hardware acceleration with your native video player. AFAIK, mpv uses youtube-dl under the hood to play youtube videos. For a long time the video acceleration in browsers wasn't very good for Linux u

    If Wayland would work out the box, I would love to switch. Last time I checked (a few months ago), it didn't work too well for me and after a week or so I returned to my working X.org setup.

    I don't think there is so much of a difference between the deliberate decision and the accidental implementation of an incomplete or broken feature. I have written software with tests and without. The latter start like prototypes and b

    Actually, I don't think this is about trust. I mean, when I use an Apple OS, I (should) trust them, as their software has access to all my most sensitive digital information. However, making it impossible to route the traffic of the sy

    Does someone know why they don't split the cookie storage equally by the top origin? I mean, wouldn't that take care of a whole class of attack vectors and make cross-origin requests possible without having to worry about CSRF?

    I like the notion of 'set -e' and at the same time I hate it. First, because it behaves inconsistently across shells/versions [1] and second, because it doesn't always work as expected. For example, when you depend on th

    Actually, I don't think that durability is the primary driver of my shopping decisions. I mean, I am a guy who still uses his 8 year old smartphone on a daily basis, so durability is relevant for me, but when I buy something, I want so

    If I remember correctly, Hugo wasn't able to process the template-content combination when I tried starting it after a few months of not using it (Hugo had been updated meanwhile). So I updated the template which didn't solve the

    I never tried Gatsby, but I tried Hugo. I like Go, so I searched for a Hugo-template I liked and build some documentation for my project. Then I took a break from the project and when I wanted to update the documentation a few months later

    For me, the thing that stood out where the 24 footnotes. The rest looked more like a normal smartphone. Wow, it can create a hotspot, but wait: it also supports wireless charging... I am a bit confused that those features are being promoted

    > OT involves logic on the server Why? What my app is doing is quite simple: 1. Every time the user changes something it writes the change to a journal and 2. executes the change on a local cache (to update the UI). 3. Then it starts a b

    I wonder why OT is restricted to a central server. In 2016/2017 I wrote a Progressive Web App (PWA) for myself which uses an algorithm which probably fits the category of OT. It uses a WebDAV server for synchronization between devices.

    Mozilla gets paid so that Google can show all Firefox users their 'Switch to Chrome' banner. No wonder the Firefox market share is going down...

    Sometimes I wonder why everybody tries to get out of line, when instead it might be more useful, to keep some service on port 22 just to increase the cost for the botnet operators. Does someone know it there is something like a super slow a

    I like uBlock Origin better than uMatrix, so my primary concern is what I can do to support uBO so that it won't share the same fate?

    I wonder a bit, that those POSIX comments are so far in the bottom of this discussion. I mean, you are loosing portability by using long flags (because it is not standard compliant) and yet it seems to be just a footnote in this discussion.
