Many cryptocurrency proponents see it as a path to a more decentralised economy, and a way to facilitate anonymity, autonomy (giving people more control over their financial assets), stuff like that. Not saying anything about my ideals, jus

I’m confused. In what way is this like dotfiles? And how is it “for computers” more than dotfiles are already?

I'd argue the lack of service workers was indeed holding it back, but so was the lack of push notifications. Both are vital components for webapps to be able to compete with native apps for common use cases.

Wow. I missed this a few days ago, but it seems like huge news for the web. Am I missing some important caveat or can web developers get excited about this? Apple’s long resistance to allowing ‘web push’ on iOS has held back PWA adoption. A

“Since 1996” seems very stable for a free URL shortener, if true. Edit: but I agree with your main point, .eu.org isn’t a real TLD as they make out in the title.

I haven't tried either yet, I've just taken a look... But I'd say 'looks nice' downplays a pretty major difference. Heptabase appears to be in a completely different league of UI quality. UI quality is pretty centra

I've often just wanted a "simple SVG" subset with just basics, as you describe, omitting all the fancy stuff that tends to lead to surprises and incompatibilities. For example, as the format for a very simple icon editor. Do

What are the potential benefits of a ‘MITM’ approach, compared to other approaches like acting as DNS (like pihole)? Edit: I should have read the About section more carefully: > Privaxy is also way more capable than DNS-based blockers as
