Talk about bloated apps: Proton Drive - 236 MB, Proton Mail - 97.6 MB, Proton VPN - 260 MB. And each one installs a separate instance of Chromium browser. Missed opportunity to use some alternatives, like Tauri and actually improve user exp

It would be interesting to measure battery savings made by disabling JavaScript on mobile devices. While it might be cheaper to plop website on GitHub Pages or Netlify and others, somehow I feel that all costs are just handed down to the us

Each year they are adding so many new emojis, but we are still lagging behind to use only emojis for daily communication. My missing emoji of the day is "mole".

ImHex has so many features. Very useful for ROM hacking, as it can display custom text table mappings. I haven't even looked into patterns and other features yet.

I'll have to admit, that "modern" website loads a bit faster for me (1.23s vs 1.83s), but that's probably because its visitors count is way lower than on original HN. And, funny thing, the single resource that increases
