As far as I'm aware, there isn't. And it would be a nice tool to have available, I suspect this could be integrated into existing clipboard managers.

I've never stopped using RSS, since it is so useful for many use cases. I've even recently built a tool, as an experiment, using it ( https://github.com/dethos/worker-planet ). Who remembers what a "planet

If I have to pick only one: "How Asia Works" by Joe Studwell. Is a bit old, but was super interesting.

That is a complete nonsense. RSS is one of the most useful tools for those that don't have "social media" accounts. Don't expect people to keep coming back to your website/blog just to check if there is new content&

This makes me sick. LG seems to do the same. At this day and age, it's getting harder and harder to buy a TV, that is just a that, a TV. Now you have to agree to ToS and as soon as you connect it to the internet to access any service y

I agree. Very unlikely that I will find a meaningful discussion on discord, about a subject or problem when I'm searching for it on Google/DDG/etc. If i cannot find it, I won't be able to participate. A web forum is very

Is this a joke, right? Do you really need unbounded computation for your boring web app? Because everyone using python is working on web application. Also because all web applications have the same type of business logic. I do like

Windows 7 was the last windows version that I used regularly. Glad I made the switch back then. The current trend is making "personal computers" less personal.

> Even if Lightning worked (it doesn't) That hasn't been my experience. I agree it is a "complex" system and has its own limitations, but when I took some time to test it, it worked well.

Is it a good time to move chat to a federated setup? Something like Matrix.

I still prefer text-only emails. I block as much external content as possible and usually those marketing and elaborate designs are all broken. It is very rare that I allow exceptions. That being said, I can see the usefulness of this tool

The tech behind this new "coin" they are using seems to be based on Monero. Even their book [1] says the following: > ‘Mechanics of MobileCoin: First Edition’ is an adaptation of ‘Zero to Monero: Second Edition’, published in A

Interesting, it seems to work very similarly to Firefox Send. For communications in the other direction, such as when you want to make sure the other person sends you the content securely, there is https://github.com/whitesm

This is awesome, has the same "spirit" of the Fairphone. I think this is the direction the industry should be moving. However it will not be easy to break this vicious and wasteful cycle that feeds many companies nowadays.

I think the first two statements would still stand: > This is sensationalist. > It's based on net worth, not income. But net worth of billionaires is incredibly inflated by the way we measure it. That being said, I also think tha

Newsblur, which is a very good feed reader, has this feature built-in which is super handy to keep all this stuff in one place.

But do they sell that software/technology? As far as I can tell they sell taxi rides, software "just" helps/supports their core business.

If it does the job, the experience is good and ends up reducing the complexity for the development team, looks like a good solution for that particular kind of product/service.

> $people not knowing stuff should not mean that everyone should get dumber to match $people. Exactly. We should push on the opposite direction (educate people and make the concepts clearer).

Very nice. Started using Matrix sometime ago and was thinking in running a homeserver myself. This new p2p stuff is a great addition to an already very versatile platform. I think Matrix has a huge potential.
