Mini has historically had the most amazingly satisfying physical switches/knobs/dials. I mean, the Start switch is fantastic [0]. But unfortunately, it looks like their newer models are now adding a touchscreen :( [0]: https:&#x2

Attaching a crypt coin to it only makes sense if it's more fully decentralized. The fact that it is centralized is why it's confusing. We run the VPN and they get the money. In something like Lokinet, the whole thing is distribute

For me, Get Programming with Haskell by Will Kurt was much better than the 1300 page Haskell book. I loved it. https://www.amazon.com/Get-Programming-Haskell-Will-Kurt/dp/...

There used to be a list of deplatforming events that had the person, the platform, the date, and the alleged reason for deplatforming. I have no idea where that is hosted now though.

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Would be great if this was on iOS too.

In the ProtonMail Threat Model document[1], in the "What ProtonMail does not guard against" section, you should add "Dissenting Opinions". I know of at least one case where a vocal right-wing personality had his account

You may also want to look at Odin: https://odin-lang.org/ I found it by hyping up Jai's "using" keyword. Then someone told me that Odin has the same thing: https://odin-lang.org/docs/over

Assuming the hardware kill switches work, you're right that the wake word is a big issue. Would be nice if it worked offline with something like this: https://picovoice.ai/products/porcupine.html A demo of it work

If so, you don't have to trust Facebook, which is nice. But it's why I'd like to see this in the hands of a reverse engineer. Maybe Purism can review it haha.

>You can completely disable the camera and microphone on Portal with a single tap or with a sliding switch. A red light next to the lens indicates the camera and microphone are off. I think a hardware breakdown video would go a long way.

"but for dashboards and other sites which require server data anyways it does fine." I understand that apps require data anyway, but I find offline-first design to be much more compelling for most apps. Things shouldn't halt

Yeah, it's not clear to me. Do the limitations of the Free tier still apply to open-source projects? It may help to just add a third box up top for Open Source or something. I didn't think that there would be a totally different t

by olah_1 7y ago
It's $7 per user per month unless you are a favored open source project that they want to bless. Unless I'm reading the pricing info[1] incorrectly, it seems like the free plan wouldn't be even close to being usable for a pro

I think people are moving to discord as a stop-gap because they place user experience above everything else. There's a lot of alternatives, but until they provide a good user experience, I don't see a point in purposefully making

by olah_1 7y ago
That's a good point. But does Nerves advance any kind of offline-first design? It still assumes a constant and high quality network connection, right?

by olah_1 7y ago
LiveView makes basic functionality of websites only work if you have a constant, high quality connection to the server. Even things like UI changes require the server connection.

I think the reason that SSB isn't super well documented yet is probably because the protocol is still subject to change and not yet set in stone. I think Manyverse tweeted something about how SSB might get mutability and a delete propa

Probably, thanks. Iris (built with Gun) has "degrees of separation" as well. https://iris.to/ I believe SSB does have degrees, but I'm not sure how many.
