I’m also a CLI old timer, but there’s undeniable utility in having a Postman-like collection to test drive a mobile app API. You can save state from responses and use it in subsequent requests. E.g. log in, save the access token, create a p

Surely it would be possible for victims to come forward and provide a paper trail of WhatsApp transcripts and blockchain transactions.

In some branch of the Manyverse Kagi is working on mail hosting that will get announced in time to save me.

I appreciate you taking the time to engage with your customers here. I’ll say this announcement doesn’t thrill me, as a long-time customer. I’ve been paying for Fastmail for at least six years. It may be as many as eight but I can’t find my

I avoid Electron apps because in every case that I've used one, they have completely in-house UI and window management. Thunderbird is ugly as sin, I'll give you that, but, but at least it mostly let's me manage windows the w

Might be better than putting it off until the discontent grows to the point that the young generation sees it fit to kill us off or confiscate everything we have and leave us standing in breadlines and living in collectivized apartments.

> Like Japan’s kanji alphabet, the oldest writing system in the world is syllabic. I think they have that mixed up with hiragana and katakana. Kanji are Chinese characters.

I also love Gorsky’s pictures! When I first saw his picture of the power turbines in Budapest I thought I must be looking at some ML-colorized daguerreotype, but nope it’s in true color. I see you’re in Tokyo. If you ever end up in Taipei o

Cool apps btw. The trichromy one is a lot of fun. Cool that you’re earning money making this.

On the far end of this debate you end up with types like _RelationshipJoinConditionArgument which I'd argue is almost more useless than no typing at all. Some people claim it makes their IDE work better, but I don't use an IDE and

And maybe someone else uses “American” style dates in their file names mm-dd-YYYY, can those also be put in correct order for those users?

I work on computer vision stuff. Most of my time is in the browser, or on the terminal (Alacritty, tmux, neovim). I've actually become more of a GUI user since switching from macOS to Linux. I used to be way more die-hard about CLI-eve

Yeah, I didn't mean to write a "Linux is better" polemic, just that building my own Linux desktop works better for me. I also haven't used Gnome since ~2009 except briefly to discover that Gnome 3 was trash. Unity was a

I used Mac for 10 years and started feeling the same irritation around 2017. In 2020 I finally bit the bullet and switched to Linux. The initial investment into getting a usable Arch desktop was horrible. It took several days just to get to

This is just 4chan-style argumentation where you belittle someone by purposefully misinterpreting and misquoting them.

Anecdotal, but for a while it felt like YouTube had decent content on whatever I was looking for. I trusted product reviews on there ever so slightly more than text content because of the relatively higher cost of producing videos. Nowadays

Indeed. In the hip parts of Taipei entire storefronts have sprung up that are dedicated to photo booths. Inside, they have extravagant props like laundromat, elevator, etc. It’s weird but also fun I guess?

12-year-old me wasn’t putting my tech skills to good use enough to pay $5 every time I sat down at the computer. I was making things though, and the internet was full of tutorials, chat rooms, and other people you could learn from. I think
