The javascript people should stop innovating for a couple of years. To much innovation that lead nowhere. How many ways can one build a web javascript project? Browser people should pick up slack and start developing sane components for the

I'm of the strong opinion that statism is the way of corrupting any ideological revolution. From communism, to democracy. I'd be interested in hearing your opinion as to why letting the status quo be is a good thing. The path soci

You might want to bookmark https://openwebsearch.eu/open-webindex/ While the index is currently not open source, it should be at some point. Maybe when they get out of the beta stage (?) details are yet unclear.

Thanks for calling this out. Apparently on iOS it's complicated, for some reason https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007317471-Vi... On Android I tap on the image in chat, 3 dots and save. Wa

Don't you find it problematic, as a framework that's 8 years old to already have reached version 15.x? Assuming they follow semantic versioning and those are 15 different backwards incompatible upgrades?

What distro are you running? systemd-oomd kills processes a bit quicker than what came before (a couple minutes of a slow, stuttery system). Still too slow for a server you'd want to have back online as quickly as possible. At least no

I would recommend giving Xfce spin a try for comparison, and when encountering similar issues logging in a separate tty (ctrl-alt-F2 to F12) to check the logs for issues. (journalctl --boot=0, for current boot and journalctl --boot=-1, for

It costs 600 euros in europe (plus shipping?) I don't know why they expected that it would have sold more. Even the "200 dollars" PinePhone is 350 in euros. It was on my list of devices that would have been fun to hack on, bu

Extract expression is such a common refactoring, happy to see support for it. I'm even more curious to see now if there are going to be more advanced refactoring possible. A List.map, to for loop, and back refactoring would be such a g

Looking at the problem differently. Say some change would make Hacker News unusable, the data would support this and show that it practically affects no one.
