Firefox is a dying horse on its last throes before Hades claims it for its own. Mythology aside, I find it truly sad to see the state Firefox is in. A browser is an incredibly complex piece of software and what Mozilla did with Firefox is n

Here's how I use workspaces (I am on KDE by the way): I have 1 workspace dedicated to programming. It has all the terminals, the code editor, and everything else. The 2nd workspace is for browsing. Incidentally this also includes web a

This makes a lot of sense. I use Notesnook [0] which also encrypts everything client side. It also doesn't export attachments in the automatic backups. I asked the devs and this is done to save user's bandwidth and also to make ev

I think journaling can be a great funnel to collect everything of interest during your day. Like anything general a lot of it is just noise but the few gems inside can really be worth the effort.

Last version I tried (5.4 or something), it took >10 seconds to open. I didn't have too many extensions either. My PC is far from slow since Chrome/Brave open in <2 seconds.

I don't see how this is any better than opening a browser tab with a mail client in it? But putting that aside here were a few problems with Vivaldi and their Mail client the last time I tried it. 1. Vivaldi is slow. It's so slow

Would it be possible to migrate from IdentityServer4 & ASP.NET Identity Core? I currently have a SaaS running those 2 and would love to eventually migrate all users to Kratos.

I think what changed over the years in the "product discussions" space/is that the sentiment has shifted from "users will come to us" to "we must go to our users". Platforms like Twitter (surprising as it

> Fast gigabit internet is cheap and everywhere (5G or mesh wifi) Right. Most of the world doesn't even have 5G yet. Besides no matter how fast you get with internet, its still internet. There is still latency which makes for a frus

I think we are way past the stage of "files as an offline singular entity" thing. Most everything these days is meant to be synced, shared, collaborated on, copied, sent etc. We are in sort of a transition stage between files and

I wish this was made impossible by browsers. It's like making a user chase their tail; they won't ever catch it. They just keep going in circles until they explode with frustration. You can't even cancel the requests to load

Do they actually? I would be interested in reading some literature about this. How have they used/exposed/sold user's data?

This is a very interesting situation for privacy respecting products. Say you want to advertise to your potential audience, what do you do? You have very few privacy respecting methods. 1. You go with passive advertising like billboards, TV

The fact that they have to explain themselves with an article speaks a lot. Was this specific method necessary? I am sure it cost them quite a bit and were the results worth it? How many people would read the article? How many people would

This little stunt by Brave was clearly not the right move. Marketing is a necessity but if you sacrifice one of the core principals of your product i.e. privacy & security, what's the point? The scenario is something like this: Ran

You don't realize what's required for all that to work properly. Webpack + Babel at the least. Expecting that a beginner developer will have to learn these to write even simple programs is absurd.

It's still mostly the same. Nothing much has happened in the JS space in the last 2 years that would make all this easier. The JS ecosystem suffers from a huge issue of duplication. There's multiple module systems, multiple ways t

This looks really neat and handy especially the type annotations part. I always got frustrated when accidentally putting the wrong type into a column. How's the Language Server support for this? Last time I tried ZLS, it was quite well

Looks like I am installing Windows. One thing that has kept me away from getting into .NET terminal & desktop apps is the binary size. Even a hello world app is quite big compared to Go, Rust etc.

The most interesting thing here is that all of the 6 million articles on Wikipedia have been seen by 1 person at least once. So if we take all humans and ask them to search 1 unique thing on Wikipedia, would there be any articles that would
