I wish Firefox took RSS more seriously. Imagine, if Firefox Sync not only supported RSS feed synchronization between devices, but also would keep updating them in the cloud, so one wouldn't miss any news from busy websites.

Casual reminder that Android apps can be tiny. Of course, you will be limited to base framework, but you'll be getting much faster build times and many happy users. Material-like design applications are also possible, just target highe

I would highly recommend for developers to take a bit of time to look into tinyapps.org and try to figure out what made those applications so great at the time and even now. Instead of hastily built Electron app, one should always consider

What a breath of fresh air is browsing simple websites, where content in mainly text and images are sparingly used. All "modern" websites are so tiring. Now if website pops up anything on screen on first visit, be it newsletter si

Or just open Mastodon instance for EU governments and citizens, and forget about that X thing ever existed.

I was looking into source code of Android app [1], as it is supposed to be current version of app on Google Play Store. Of course the local build failed, even after adding required properties file that readme did not mention. Source for w

I wonder if anyone tried repackaging electron apps to use alternative runtime, maybe Tauri?

Oh, Proton Drive. When will they release a client for Linux? And when they will start adding AI to all Proton products?

Haven't looked it up in detail yet, but I am wondering if game process is a boss or player entity?

There was a game "Virus: The Game" (1997) on PC which takes place in your file system.

Thank you for explanation. I see there is still a lot I have to learn about LLMs.
553.
by butz 3y ago
I assume that training LLMs locally require high-end hardware. Even running a model requires a decent CPU or, even better, a high end GPU, but it is not so expensive as training a model. And usually you have to use hardware that is availabl

Geany 2.0 and gedit 45.0 are rendering Simplified Chinese instead of Japanese. How to fix this?

It would be interesting to go over each connection and figure out what it really does. E.g. "contile" from Firefox: "The goal of this service is to pass tiles from partners along to Firefox for display while ensuring customer

Purple scrollbar on purple background... And this is why website authors should not be allowed to style browser controls.

Wasn't Google planing to add some sort of RSS support in Chrome? Or did the experiment end as a failure?

How about going one step further and spinning up whole instance of Mastodon where each website "posts" its news from separate accounts?

If service is hidden behind a login, it's probably not free at all. Of course, nowadays no one can guarantee that even after paying subscription your personal data won't be used in some peculiar ways.

Is this the end of the "secure passkeys"?

With most spam coming from Outlook accounts I'd say they should first start fixing spam problem at their own end.

We should probably add "scrollbar" to @supports CSS queries to fix that.

Talking about dark patterns: what is "Statsy" and why is it trying to send out "a beep" every second?

Google might as well skip all this dancing around and build their ads straight into Chrome. Good luck doing some work while you have to watch a video ad every hour or so, and every page has ads literally in browsers "chrome".

And that's yet another reason that we must have several different browser engines.

It would be nice if Nextcloud would come in small modules, and one could effectively run only webmail, and add more features in the future on demand. Having everything in one just increases attack surface and makes more work managing it all
