   Before trying to answer you, let me just reassure that I am not, by any means, preaching that people should stop using ad blockers. I was just sharing how I manage to not bother using one anymore. You're right that using an ad blocker

   I'm not the person you're asking to, but in case you're interested in another opinion, I also no longer use ad blockers. I think it's fair to consume content in the way the author intended, especially because it seems th

   Isn't it the opposite, though? The whole thing was caught precisely because it was open source. Sure, you can argue that the vulnerability was introduced by a contributor, but what prevents the same thing from happening in a private re

   > maybe it would be better if instead of VMs it moved to containers? Don't Flatpak apps run in "containers" already? They're not exactly like Podman but are containerized nevertheless. This should probably work better

   Agreed. Shipping earlier and often gives the project lots of traction and makes it easier to prioritize features and to correct system requirements. When I'm asked, I often suggest taking the opposite route, though: build the UI first,

   Nice hypothesis. I've always thought that it had to do with the percentage of life already spent. When you're a teen, an afternoon counts as 0,004% of your whole life thus far. In your mid 30's, it gets down to 0,001%. So to

    I used this technique a few times until I realized that spammers and, most importantly, companies that sell their user databases also know about it. So it's actually pretty trivial for them to strip the +something bit before any shady

    We could generate an "untrusted" cookie. This prevents clients using it from meddling with "trusted" clients. It's not really fine grained and also doesn't prevent untrusted clients from meddling with one anoth

    Doesn't Xauthority solve this? I thought we could use xauth to generate an unprivileged cookie and launch the program using it. Then it could not meddle with other X clients or even the clipboard. Of course you should also prevent the

    You can use xauth to get an Xauthority cookie for untrusted clients, so they can't meddle with other X clients. The biggest downside is that you lose access to the X clipboard - which is also good, so its data doesn't get compromi

    Just tested it and it seems really promising. Great work! I wish it could replace the formatting syntax as you type, like Typora [1] does. The document becomes much cleaner to read while still being efficient to write. [1] https:/&#x2

    One could also setup aliases for some of the incantations. I personally have `git uncommit` aliased to the proper command line that I never remember.
