Totally agree. In fact for myself, if a company is offering a free service, especially one that has significant cost on their end (bandwidth, compute, and storage are common cases), it's somewhat of a red flag to me. Too many things in

So what if the need for ads was fundamentally eliminated, would that interest you? Instead of hacking together add-ons and playing cat and mouse, perhaps we could use a model where you fill a wallet, and then the contents of that wallet get

Do I spy a fellow T-Square fan? You have any other recommendations? I've found a few related bands in the Casiopea/T-Square family but I have a feeling there's a whole iceberg left to delve into if I can find it.

I haven't heard of Dokku until now but yunohost does have SSO. However, it's up to the packagers to actually configure the SSO to be used in the applications by default, and some applications are just inherently not built with SSO

Not sure if you are referring to the title specifically or the trend in general, but the title is taken almost directly from the one sentence blurb on the wezterm site. As a general description, I can see why as an open source project it wo

Alacritty is basically as minimal a terminal emulator as you're going to get, wezterm is the polar opposite end of the spectrum. Kitty is in the middle, the main thing that wezterm has that kitty doesn't that I'm aware of is

There's also JRPN [1], not sure how closely it follows the original HP-16C as I've never used the original but it seems to give significant thought to it. It's written in flutter so available on linux and android. [1] https:

Really, St Jude Children's hospital is awful? Would you like to give some sources for that? That's the only charity I get asked about often enough to remember and I'm happy to see companies going to bat for them (at least unl

To be clear, GrapheneOS was running on much older matrix room versions and the bugs that were causing the issues have (to my understanding) largely been mitigated in the later room versions. Of course it's not ideal it happened, but I

Given you were so keen to call out the ineffectiveness of anecdotes, it's rather ironic for you to be giving out estimates with no real data behind them as somehow superior. Not to mention, where was the anecdote in your article? There

It's all tradeoffs. If it's test data taking up space, it's useful to have the tests tracked along side the source so it's reasonable to put it in the repository. It could be put in a separate git repository and then tra

Thanks for pointing this out, that is truly fascinating to imagine. I'm now short on sleep due to the wikipedia rabbit hole :)

Those comments are unrelated. The point they were making is that if companies don't want to release source, they will either use a permissively licensed open source project as the base, or they will roll their own (probably lower quali

That sounds like a question for them, not me, I made no such claims. In fact I'd be quite interested in any evidence as well, although I wouldn't be surprised if they were using some kind of ML model in postprocessing which ended
