I do not get the "interactive" part. I expect to be able to manipulate objects or at least move them, you know, "interact" with the "video". Now it is some cheap walking simulator, without narration or any plot

Somehow we ended up doing the opposite thing of compression (and I do not mean decompression): user writes three word email, AI expands it to several paragraphs of useless text, sends it to recipient. There another AI digests all that text

In my youth I was considering drawing all possible 8x8 1bit color pixel icons and never got around to it. Probably it is the time to finally do it, and maybe even go further with 2 bit colors?

It would be neat to build a proxy that converts modern websites to be browsable with browsers like dillo, and removes all annoyances along the way. Going a step forward, maybe this "proxy" could run on local device and even allow

I was wondering, are there any tools that could help to draw decent looking genealogical tree ? My main issue are the updates, where adding one of the ancestors or newborns causes full rework of entire tree. I'd like to feed data to so

If you are space concious, you should try to select Flatpak apps that are using the same runtime (Freedesktop, GNOME or KDE), and make sure all of them are using exactly the same version of runtime. Correct me if I'm wrong, but only tw

Very sad state of affairs on Play Store. Independent app developers are clearly not welcome there. I already pulled all my hobby apps from Play Store, just to sleep soundly at night without thinking how to pass yet another app review after

As usual, there is a negative side to such protection: I was trying to download some raw files from git repository and instead of data got bunch of html. After quick look it turned out to be Anubis HTML page. Another issue was with broken l

Some interesting news from Dropbox app this morning: "Your desktop environment doesn't support the Dropbox tray icon. Starting May 27, 2025, Dropbox updates will require App Indicator support. To continue using the tray, update

It might be faster, and cheaper, to build SVG file and render it on server directly to correct format.

Took me a while to figure out, but "peg" and "hole" naming system was really throwing me off, as I somehow convinced myself that both peg and hole must perfectly match. Probably that old front-end developer thinking got

Probably a silly question, but what is the smallest modern phone one could get new, to run Linux on and have at least basic phone and sms functionality working?

Some controls are better left unstyled. Look what happened to scrollbars: either they are too thin to grab, have bad color contrast, so it is hard to see what part to actually grab, and, finally, some smartypants have managed even to remove

Mozilla must split their engine and basic browser UI into separate browser, something like Chromium right now, without any "Mozilla" features: no pocket, no AI, no sync, nothing extra that is not necessary to browse the web. This

How about we raise some money and buy Chrome for the users? First order of business will be removing all privacy invading "features" and re-enabling Manifest V2. If somehow we'll have some cash left, we might even contract Ig

There is another web browser build on KDE libraries - Angelfish. While it is marketed as "webbrowser for mobile devices", it has a desktop interface too. This one could be more easy to get into and help with development, as it is
