For a niche market, possibly. However, I just don't see Valve as a company being interested in becoming a phone manufacturer. What would realistically be in for them? It's strategically mostly irrelevant to their core business, wi

Simple answer: no. Apart from Android that is. Non-specialized Linux will never be supported by manufacturers because there's simply no economic incentive to do so.

That may be the case for geeks like us. We’re not Apple’s core customer though. For the vast majority of them, Apple does indeed know better. The iPhone is proof of that. And now that most buttons are controlled by software anyway, where’s

I have decided some time ago that I will not work for any company who is engaging in such practices. I will not feed the manipulation machine, to the best of my abilities. I don’t have to quit tech entirely but focus on parts where I can do

Sadly, this is irrelevant. Running a corporation within a capitalist system will always optimize for maximum value extraction. Even if they can charge more in base price, this scheme always yields even more on top.

Those are the first signs of the beginning of the end for personal transportation as we know it. Car ownership as a whole is inevitably moving towards a subscription model. Which in turn obsoletes car ownership, which in turn will lead to a

Given that I have a GitHub repository with 26k+ stars, what do you think an equivalent amount of money per month that should work out to?

Interesting theory. But the IPBL doesn’t even have a robots.txt and a different, larger site from a German celebrity I host does have the same directives and is indexed, although incompletely. My working theory is that Bing’s selection algo

Sure. A very simple one would be https://ipbl.herrbischoff.com , a public blocklist page referencing a resource used by a couple dozen users. The HTML doesn't get a lot simpler than that and is entirely valid markup. It&#x27

I do too. However, I am responsible for a couple of sites that Bing absolutely refuses to even index. Google has no issues with them, not for 10 years running. Those sites are effectively invisible in Bing and therefore DuckDuckGo. I’m not

Thanks for the info. I’m suspicious of every service which is not upfront about pricing. I couldn’t find anything on the linked website regarding what to expect to eventually pay. Instead, a large “sign up” button. Which, from experience, u

For me, cryptocurrencies are comparable to a (for now) unregulated variant of the gambling industry. It’s probably a net negative for society but there’s still lots of supply and demand. Speaking of net negative, enough people work for Big

The consequences of “free speech” are way easier if you’re the one doling them out as opposed to receiving them. There’s a massive power imbalance that this particular billionaire is looking to escalate in his favor.

I feel entirely exhausted by the JavaScript ecosystem. Just for me, it takes all the fun and workmanship out of building something. I tend to spend so much time on tooling that by the time I get to do anything creative, my motivation is nea

Same here. It feels out of place, unnecessary and its rationalization unconvincing. Considering Python, an outright weird suggestion.

Entirely agree with that assessment. All my clients love the Kirby backend and as a developer it’s a pleasure to work with the system. Documentation for first-time users could be better though. The YAML page structure took some time to wrap

Recently, I’ve come to appreciate Kirby ( https://getkirby.com/ ). It’s commercial but reasonably priced. Clean, powerful and relaxed with updates.

An interesting thought. This relates to DANE if I understand correctly. This can work on existing infrastructure. But what about this “distributed domains“ thing though? Unless I’m understanding it wrong, there’s blockchain technology invol

Interesting idea. This can be done with the existing DNS infrastructure I believe. It really sounds like a workable solution.

by hrbf 4y ago
This is an honest question because I really don’t get it: what problem does this solve, especially with regard to “distributed domains”?

That may well be. However, I’d argue that effects like these are just the cost of doing business at their scale – and therefore entirely their problem. No one outside of the affected corporation should need to care at all.

Indeed. If you censor the past, you’re doomed to repeat it. I absolutely support mandating giving proper context, to aid understanding. That’s what school curriculums could be about. If you change the teaching of past events (or worse, the
