Topping my list of GUI toolkit requirements are cross-platform and native look & feel. As far as I know, Qt still beats everything else in these areas on the desktop. It's mostly excellent. However, I find The Qt Group's comme

Not everyone can be bothered to disable JavaScript by default. It's a pity that archive.today walls off their saved pages behind a Google CAPTCHA, which requires JavaScript. I would think avoiding that kind of fingerprinting/track

This reminds me of how Boeing introduced an automatic nose-down feature in the 737 MAX, meant to compensate for its higher-mounted engines causing nose-up during takeoff. According to a video I saw, they didn't make pilots aware of thi

Sony Xperia models have been my choice since the Sony Ericsson days. Unlockable bootloader, LineageOS available, microsd card, headphone jack, good screen, decent camera, reasonably powerful SoC, water/dust resistant, and probably seve

I dislike systemd's Predictable Network Interface Names, so I disable them with this kernel command line option: net.ifnames=0 Welcome back, eth0. :)

Neat. Any plans to support playback as a shoutcast stream, so folks can listen with their usual sound systems instead of a web browser?

Lots of people on HN are not the target audience for any given post, yet are still interested. (And my point applies to all writing and speaking, not just this post.)

I expect SAN in this case means Subject Alternative Name, not Storage Area Network. Sigh... I wish people would use their words before trotting out possibly-ambiguous (or obscure) acronyms. It would help avoid confusion among readers who do

Do you happen to know of any 10" water filter enclosures that are not made of plastic? I recently started looking for a two-stage one (meaning two enclosures connected in series) but haven't found one yet.

Some things that keep me away from SimpleX: - No multi-device support. - No group calls. - Establishing a contact requires sharing a large link or QR code, which is often inconvenient. - Message queues drop messages if not retrieved within

Depends on what you mean by sync. It has limited support for tethering a mobile device to a computer on the same LAN, but lacks the kind of independent multi-device support that's a available in e.g. Matrix.

I believe Delta Chat is opportunistic PGP over email, so it's not comparable to something like Matrix or Signal. I suppose it might suffice if you have very basic privacy needs.
