Nostr is one of the most interesting things I have seen in a long time. The only minor problem I have with it is that the early adopters are very pro crypto/anti vaccines and it might give the impression that it is a community for such

You seem like a sincere person so be sure to note that what I found now was less damning than what I thought I would find which suggests either it hasn't turned out so bad or they have covered it well up.

Hi again. Yes, I agree you should ask me, it wasn't as easy to find as I first thought, but here[1] is a thread on HN that discusses it and a bit down the thread you find a link to the Verge [2] which in turn links to the case papers [

What distro do you use and what do you compare it to? My preferred distro is KDE Neon, based on Ubuntu base but with KDE devs providing the KDE layer on top. I have found this combination excellent and while I am sure it uses more resources

> I don't have that backup enabled. Does that mean that WhatsApp is secure for me with everyone who also has that disabled? As long as no one of them enables it, probably. I don't know if this agreement is in place any longer,

I could understand Gnome as an ideological hack back when KDE wasn't completely open source or when Ubuntu pushed beautiful and polished versions of Gnome 2. And when KDE was on version 4. Today, why would anyone choose anything except

by eitland 4y ago
Without context this is just noise. Also when you say: don't trust Telegram, while not saying anything about WhatsApp, you are, on average, pushing people from a solution that isn't proven to be trustworthy to a solution that i

One famous and interesting story that might be new and interesting to those who are already here and aren't middle-aged or older Norwegians is about one of the Viking kings (Sigurd Jorsalfar) who got his horse shod with golden shoes an

Exactly. Can I guess it wasn't a result of keyword stuffing with every result but Google and Bing "forgot" some of your search terms to show you more thinly veiled ads/"content"?

Ypu know one thing that is more depressing? That the reasok why we are are with this debate is probably the very hamfisted approach that was taken early on with banning even medical doctors from mentioning it. There has been a some times ov

Good news: kagi.com is mostly a shell over Google and Bings apis, but they do quality control and they are building their own index. I have paid for months from my own pocket and since I started using it, search doesn't drive me mad an

I have long since switched to Kagi and I am a happy paying customer. I can adjust my results, block or prioritize, but I rarely do that. What I sometimes do however is I write a bug report whenever bad results sneak in. In a matter of hours

Edit 2, since I see this thread still has activity: I should point out that by "better" I don't mean that Firefox was necessarily faster but - it was equally fast (for my usage), - handled 400-600 tabs effortlessly even back

Exactly. So much is broken because of misunderstood UX design. Today I was again reminded that many years ago some UX designer thought it would be a great idea to remove back/forward buttons from the context menu in Firefox if I accide

Lots of valid criticism exist for PHP, but not robust isn't something I would say. (Lots of the criticism is exaggerated as well.)
