That’s the best explanation of the meme I’ve ever heard. I wish the CCP could wrap their heads around the concept that actually explaining things this way to their citizens instead of just brutally repressing them is a real alternative. The

Holy crap, you can sleep only one side of your brain?! How would anyone think of even doing this?

read that mastodon post. the community already isn't healthy. forking it and making it into a healthier community may be the way to go. after all, it's been done before (egcs).

Jonathan is eminently reasonable. He just wants everyone to get along. He’s no more an evangelist for Rust than Linus is, who, you'll recall, is trying to make it work also.

I wonder why? I read it at the time since I subscribe to their RSS feed. Maybe because he actually linked to the "warez dump" that everyone is talking about but no one had actually linked to until then? I checked it out, I just

Exactly. I also have a 6-year old child with severe autism. He's a really happy and playful child, he actually makes good eye contact, especially when having fun, enjoys hiking and swimming, and loves affection. But he simply cannot c

I view my lawn the same way as the author, in that I do want there to be a good amount of biodiversity there. I let everything grow in the yard sections and even have parts that I leave almost totally wild without even cutting. But I also

Sometimes the title itself generates a kind of excitement in your brain and you start answering it before you even read the blog post. And in this case as others have noticed, it's not exactly answered in the way some of us would. I do

That's why I'm happy the KDE developers and others have acknowledged this is actually a problem and are creating solutions for it, unlike many GNOME developers who say "it's your fault it crashed!"

Came here to post this. It's insane how he manages to condense these concepts so succinctly, and this only took one panel!

What I mean is I'm not constantly fighting to keep messages under a certain size, getting message rejections, weird formatting, or even annoying tapback quotes anymore: basic functionality is all I care about and working fine. Plus I c

100%. It's nice to have the typing status, delivered/read status, higher quality of pictures, etc. But I could care less what color it is, and group conversations with SMS/MMS work pretty darn well. I would like a desktop SM

rockbox + sansa clip at the gym + live jamband shows were the best. rockbox made it easy to just throw stuff on and play from a folder, no worrying about a "database" or how the mp3 tags would be interpreted or sorted, just put th

Seriously I don't have the chops or time to do it, but creating a Pidgin wrapper around this tech would be awesome. Just for basic texts/emoticons, it helps a lot with Teams and WhatsApp chats already for me (along with the Pidgin

Couldn't agree more, though when I see this brought up, I've always seen "people who seem to know more than me" saying that it just leads to other problems, and they kind of hand-wave it away... but I still think there s

This comment made me go down a serious Matrix + bridges rabbithole. Seriously considering getting a cheap VPS and doing it. But would you recommend using matterbridge for all the protocols or using some of the individual protocol bridge pro

Spot on man. I think we've all learned that the best tech stack will not win without also having a good sales, marketing, and management team to support it. And if you are completely incompetent at those things it doesn't matter

I think this is the webpage of one of my favorite YouTubers VWestlife: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1ydE9gDHTdvbNVIgEKIKzw He makes all sorts of cool retro videos on computers, hi-fi systems, records, tapes, etc.

No, but we're not talking about that. We're talking only about if these particular videos cross some kind of imaginary line which is different for everyone and constantly shifts in our minds based on the last comment we read on HN

Same here. I need to restart gnome shell everytime I update an extension for some stupid reason, but it's easy and I don't lose any work. This is a sucky design decision that is just a showstopper for me. I wish it the best I gues

We use Rublon for adding MFA to Remote Desktop and other VPNs too and it works very well. It’s not an over engineered monstrosity like Microsoft solutions.
