With Telegram you can. They provide instructions. (At least used to do.) Not sure about Signal.

Sad sad story. It was the best social network that existed, and before it shut down it had so gotten so much right that I think no others have matched anywhere near the complete feature sets.

If you have access to Java you have a good language at your disposal already, and chances are you'll get away with Kotlin too. I came to Java as my 6th or so language (small amounts of Basic, VB, C, Assembly and Javascript before) and

Of course we should not forget that. Thanks!

Half of HN detest Code of Conduct and that among other things is why we love the what the SQLite team has done here.

I pointed out in detail how it matches the fallacy. Next up: The first step to get out of a whole you have dug yourself into is to stop digging and all that.

At this point your argument is a classic straw man: Define what the opponent means or believes and then put that definition up to tear it down.

Jesus himself was extremely pragmatic in some cases: Give to the Caesar what belongs to the Caesar and all that. People who don't practice should probably study the Bible a whole lot more before telling practicing Christians what to do

When I started VB and Java Swing interfaces were allowed. Today, every single business application is somehow supposed to have its own design language and can't use any standard UI library. Also, deeply ironically, I think now certain

This is unfair. USB mostly has predictably "just worked" as in "there is a port for it and it works when I plug it in".

The color coded rings on resistors is a mightily bad idea, at least as implemented on resistors. I'm not that colorblind, I see traffic lights, fruits between leaves and other things others have problems with, basically everything ex

Have you recovered them yet? As long as they are just "deleted" and not overwritten, file recovery on Windows used to be easy.

To be fair they don't need Google Toolbar any longer as people just download their whole spyware suite these days, even if it doesn't tell you the page rank of sites - which was the main reason anyone technically competent would u

I took my vaccines and listened to the doctors and to authorities. I still think the way media attacked everyone who wasn't exactly in line with the current ideas is a shame for everyone in media who participated. And the way social me

Southern Norway crossed the 10NOK/kWh threshold earlier this year. It is kind of mind boggling how this can happen for a country with almost infinite supply of hydro power, but here we are. Of course, Norway being Norway, since the sta

I have had KDE Neon running on one or more devices the last 6 or so years. It is built on an Ubuntu base and is almost like Kubuntu, except I think it is set up by people in the KDE community. For me the difference felt enourmous.

> why does everyone want computers to be faster when their sludgy brains are the weak point in the process? Because unless I program in PHP or Quarkus, half of the time my brain isn't the weak spot. Also, waiting for my computer to

The version of Unit 4 that we use at work only works in Chrome. That said, lately, that particular thing has been the only one that I need to use that outright doesn't work. I think a number of Google technologies are slower in Firefox

The last rabbit we had at home ran around on its own. I developed a friendship with our horse, but did not seem to be on friendly terms with the neighbors cat. One time I saw them running across the driveway: the cat first, panicking, the r

Flash was a kind of devious problem in the same way as IE was and Chrome is: Those who depended on it got benefits while messing up the lives for everyone else. To be fair to IE and its modern replacement Chrome, if you develop and test mos

I guess it depends on how much traction they get, both by consumers and also with websites. AFAIK some websites actively or passively block everyone except Google.

Many complain about the price, but for me it is an absolute no brainer. In this day and age a search engine is one of the most important tools we have, and the price is rather cheap for not having to deal with Google and DDG ignoring my act

And the built in tree style tabs are real tree style tabs with indentation, not just vertical tabs like on Edge. Orion is absolutely amazing.

From the headline I guessed they were planning to sell tokens, but instead it seems to be a slightly more humane version of subscriptions. So I will (again?) remind people that there are lots of services that would make a lot more sense to

Haven't used PHP seriously for a decade I think so I might have a bit of rose tinted glasses. But I am fairly certain that like the Perl documentation and unlike Java and Spring docs none of them was infuriating.
