I automated the computer-tasks related to my human context switching. This resulted in an application called Cleave, that lets users persist OS state as a "context" - saving and loading open applications, their windows, tabs, open

So what? RISC-V is a specific (RISC-based) ISA. ARM is a family of RISC-architectures, which does not include RISC-V. Apple's M1 is an ARM SoC. It does not use RISC-V.

Even this charitable interpretation doesn't make much sense: The only thing "atheists" have in common is that they have a lack of belief – we have no idea what they actually DO believe (people come with various philosophical

You can't be serious. Actual religions have sets of ideas (rules, creation-myths, alternative epistemologies, etc.), whereas atheism has none. The term literally means "without god(s)" (which was a defining feature of religio

Because recordings of politicians interacting with experts and NGOs in a recent Norwegian hearing (about bulk metadata collection) makes it seem they have no practical understanding of the subject matter.

I mean, I organize petitions, write op-eds (incl. in major national papers), contribute to OSS, have back-and-forths with major decision makers in public, etc. ... But I don't seem to reach through. I'd be willing to do volunteer

I'm sick and tired of seeing tech-illiterate decision makers on both international levels attempt to thwart our right to privacy. Does anyone know what we or I can do (in this case specifically) to help fight this idiocy?

Why does it matter if few (or many, for that matter) ascribe them self awareness? Popularity is no measure of truth. And who's to say what actions are "free will" (whatever that means) over instincts?

There are frameworks, such as Qt and wxWidgets (desktop), that offer native or near-native widgets for all major platform. Given that most of these have bindings to many languages, I don't understand why one would involve a browser-run
