That's been up for quite a while, actually, to help low-bandwidth and screen-reader users. What's new is that they're redirecting to it if you're EU (like myself) Edit: It's a pity there's no real archive in th

Everything is, there was a big deal here in the Netherlands about the local governments having to be compliant as well. The first thing that the dutch agency will check (no fines, but just make sure) is that each municipality has things set

Explain? I mean it's running and there's a sizable amount of people using it?

You can type, you feel that you're typing, and you kind of start to understand why typing might even be considered fun. It's a bit hard to explain, the travel on the keys is just really good, comfortable size and shape, etc. See i

Ive got a x250 and no WiFi issues ever, fwiw, but I'm running Linux as well. Have you tried windows vs Linux, or checking drivers etc?

Mentioned elsewhere in these comments but they got deleted for violating a no-cryptocurrency that medium added a week ago. also they never wrote about cryptocurrencies, they're a free alternative to things like patreon, and only accept

Neat to see it all together! I'd heard of most of these projects, but there's some I hadn't heard about so I'll be sure to check them out. One issue I've got is that there's no real rhyme or reason to the layou

I use Materialistic[0] which besides the usual features has a "catch up" function which can be set to past 24 hrs, week, month, year. I don't use it much, but it just crashed when I did, so ymmv 0- https://f-droid.

This is often mentioned but the examples for it keep changing—any of the small nice communities that grows too large will become filled with noise and become unpleasant. It's the reason I've been moving to lower-volume/higher

The problem with those are that they're more complicated (even when perfected) than current treatment. Immune modulation would require either suppressing the entire system (or very large chunks of it) which is done with some other dise

I've got a wileyfox (s2) and it's one of the options on there? If not there's apps for it, I remember seeing something on f-droid for it, but since it's built in I don't use it.

Thanks for the article, really good to see, and reaffirm what most of us guessed already. Might I suggest another round of trials but changing up the message when someone joins? It reads quite like a bot/automated system/interacti
