Agreed on there being access to other encrypted messaging apps. But that doesn't account for "app-fatigue" where people are fed up with getting yet another application (think Zoom, Meet, Slack, Signal, Discord, etc) and thus

+1 on Obsidian. Markdown is super nice to use and as for syncing it's open to BYO solution (it's all just markdown/text files!) or you can pay Obsidian to sync for you.

About that community and dedicated resources, though. And branding.

Saving money is another good reason. IO domains are inflated due to popularity, at least last time I checked.

It's been working for me for my personal accounts! For business/jobs, I use Bitwarden or 1Password. Keepass is not the prettiest but I highly recommend it.

Alphabet is used a lot in economic radio programs as the parent to Google, so it's definitely doing its job in non-tech fields.

Agreed. Ten bucks says they'll sell off Fi within the next 10 years. See Google Domains sell off to Squarespace as a recent example.

We have the Metra electric rail from Millennium station that goes south to University Park. I assume it's possible to electrify the other rails but I figure it's because they're shared with freight that it's harder to sw

Yes. I'm an avid user and it's literally just a passed around commodity at this point. This next owner doesn't sound good for it though I may be mistaken. We need a Bandcamp-like entity or service that isn't for-profit b

In my experience: when I had COVID symptoms and took one of these it was positive. So was my partner. I think at the end of the day these aren't going to be perfect but if you combine it with a personal evaluation (do I feel sick, are

Seeing as the license is derived from VVVVV's I was interested in comparing comments so far to a similar one there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22011655 I very much enjoy Melos and Marina's games. "A

I think it's amazing you're starting a new project. You stated two points in your blog post on this project: 1. To push back on Chrome almost-monopoly and 2. As a self-learn project. You'll have to balance the needs between t

You should also cite when "Ubik" was published as it's fascinating: 1969!

I think it's having a general preference over the "original" material. Subs do force you to read and watch so you need to initially train yourself to deal with it, but now I always prefer subs even with my native language bec

I guess an advantage is that it's a competitor to a single Microsoft vertical? So is Notion though and a few others. Competition is healthy.

I love these projects so much. It must be exhilarating to work on them and I'm very tempted to work on one myself as a side project/self learning experience.

I've hit a similar wall and one answer to hurdle over is to organize with more people to push for bigger, community wide changes. This can include making your roads safer for biking, getting your local governments to penalize local pol

I'm not sure if this helps but I started a blog and while I don't create many posts I do have a section for "What I've read" and simply post the book title + author under a certain year and that's it. It's

This is rough for Jitsi / 8x8. Requiring a login puts them at a level of "why not just use Google Meet?" to me unless you go through hoops to self host. I'm down to experiment with self hosting, I just feel that most use

Too late for countless families if you gather all the historical data. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to curb this.

Depends what we're looking at. Ride share disruption was very Jurassic Park and we've been dealing with ramifications ever since.

This is really cool. It does make me miss the Pebble watch though as they dove into color e-ink for certain models as well. They seemed way ahead of the time and it's such a shame they couldn't make it through.

Costs will be appended to the workers. I hope we all realize someday how working from home applies further wear & tear to our amenities and homes compared to the office's. Think toilets, sinks, fridges, chairs, doors, floors, etc.

Academia seems to lean on the side of crap for the most part. That being said I've grown a keen, if naive, interest as I've enjoyed past mentoring opportunities. I remember reading a post of someone hosting a programming workshop
