I liked BeReal while it was still just post 1 picture a day. Now you have 'your brands' there, they try to increase 'engagement' by trying to get people use the app more... I was there when it happened on Facebook, I was

I don't think Beeper is Open Source. They published some of their bridges, but the client is closed source afaik.

Cool, I like to see more innovation in this space. You obviously have different needs than what Beeper provides, but claiming it's better when you only support a fraction of the networks is a bit steep imo. Curious what other networks

Grant's work with 3blue1brown and Manim is simply amazing. The quality of the videos is so high, not the least thanks to the visualizations. Not an easy task given the abstract nature of the topic. It's linked in the readme, but I

For those who don't know, Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.

Yes, Niri is inspired by PaperWM afaik.

Me too. However you're free to join or move to an instance that doesn't federate with Threads.

That's so unhinged it's almost funny again. I mean someone who pays 60$ a month for a flashlight app almost deserves it. Almost.

Didn't know that, interesting. Although maybe it's not that surprising...

No, not all content should never change. This is just the core of the dilemma: dynamic content (and identifiers) rots faster that static content (content addressed). We can have both, but not at the same time.

True, but then you're back on square one. Because it's not guaranteed that using a (DNS) name will point to the same content forever.

In theory a content-addressed system like IPFS would be the best: if someone online still has a copy, you can get it too.

Not sure about other clients, but Kagi Assistant directly offers to save a conversation as Markdown. Using Obsidian's web-clipper is a good idea too though.

Basically, but it gets even better. If you allow directions of 'meaning' do wiggle a little bit (say, between 89 and 91 degrees to all other directions), you get a lot more degrees of freedom. In 3 dimensions, you still only get

Even if this were true, 'a bit of a speed improvement' is still huge given the amount of JS that's run in our world.

I don't view notifications as a corner case. I think two factors are key: 1. Can the user predict the UI change? This is close to the static vs dynamic idea, but doesn't matter if the UI changes. If the user can learn to predict h

Or Ghost. The reading experience was so good on Medium a couple of years ago.

Kind of, but character-based tokens make it a lot harder and more expensive to learn semantics.

About writing a counterargument for social media: I kinda get it, but what's the end game of this? People reading generated responses others (may have) approved? Do we want that? I think I don't.

In the readme it says it uses double precision for numbers. Also not quite whet I expected from 'arbitrary precision'.

Yes, however Automattic seems invested in the idea, since they also acquired Texts.com (which I didn't know before). So maybe the "universal chat app" is still part of their plan going forward? Still, I'm concerned too.

More compact, but also more ambiguous. I suspect an exact specification what Dropbox does in natural language will not be substantially more compact compared to the code.

I wonder what this means for the future of Beeper.

TBF, I like the browser doesn't change that much. I install it for / recommend it to friends/family/etc and big changes would only increase the support I have to do. I think forks are much better suited to try out new co

I like the design of the landing page and the book pages a lot! Well done. I didn't use Goodreads, but I'm considering Bookwyrm now, because it supports ActivityPub, which is awesome, because I want to avoid vendor/network lo

Tbh, I trust uBlock Origin more than Edge and Chrome. The security properties of uBo Lite are better but the blocking properties are worse.

Ah yes, ChatGPT, the tool famous for it's rigor and accuracy which can never be brought to agree with something untrue, no matter how hard you try. /s Honestly, I think this is a horrible format to share ideas. It's a scratch

At the end of article it's shown that only considering train stations didn't really change the result.

IIRC that helped somewhat, but didn't solve all issues. For my thesis I plan to use a single document.

Small report from personal experience: I wrote the documentation for a project (~ half a bachelors thesis) with Typst. The writing experience was easy and nice, much better compared to the few Latex documents I worked on. Two main struggles
