Wouldn't it be pretty hard to replace a hard drive or something? Is it really worth the trouble for better cooling?

I'm actually very interested in all the input devices for Linux. I feel like Desktop Linux is not as good on user input devices, compared to MacOS/Windows, e.g. touch screen, hand gesture, stylus support, and of course touchpad. W

Interesting. Thanks for the effort! How good is the integration with other ActivityPub-based services? Could I see timeline of users in Pixelfed from other services? Is it going to be possible?

Seen this piece before, still funny to me. > Thought: I guess that's what happens when AI bots discover recreational drugs. That's why engineers should be interviewed by engineers.

I don't think you should blame Google for putting resources into a platform of less than 1% of the market-share that's not built by Google itself. Google has actually been pretty eager in developing iOS apps AFAIK, sometimes relea

Love to see this happen, but how's the performance (responsiveness, memory consumptions) compared to native? I believe the main reason people are reluctant to develop web-based apps is performance, which results in poor user experience

Easy there. Don't you think your prejudice against cryptocurrency is clouding your judgement here? Keybase is an identity tool and it makes every sense for it to make a wallet. Also, you provided no reasons that being involved in crypt

First thing comes to mind is Yondu, from 'Guardians of the Galaxies'. Movies borrowed inspirations from this, maybe?
