As far as I understand, there is not any boundary about climate change. +1.9 will be worse than +1.8 but better than 2.0 The more we wait, the harder the consequences but, for better or worse, there will never be a threshold where we will b

Since Beeper main product is a multi protocol messaging app and iMessage is the only protocol that resists them, yes, it’s probably both. I know it’s marketing but at the end of the day, they are fighting for a cause that matters to me and

Maybe I was too young but honestly I didn’t care at all. Was it colorful and super contrasted ? Yes. But it was not, at least to me, ugly. Sure, coming from gray OSes from the 90’s, it could have appeared as "childish" but I reall

For your syncthing always on server, that’s a really good job for an old raspberry sleeping in a drawer, cheaper than any web hosting and your storage is basically limited by the hard disk you throw at it. Since it’s only a synchronisation

Thank you, that was my point but I should have been more precise. I heard that some boredom may be "good" to "reset" dopamine systems and try to fix procrastination issues (especially since I have diagnosed ADHD. So I tr

Hehehe. This channel is full of videos about "boring" topics and still you play them and bam, you are sucked into 15 min of nerdy details about a 90’s microwave that doesn’t even exists anymore and now you are wondering why you ca

It depends, do you define endless scrolling as boredom ? Because I think it’s not.

In fact I’d even say that people didn’t need cars but that cars created so much opportunities of extending human cities that once we got there, we made ourselves dependent of cars. And in retrospection, it was hardly a good direction to tak

You can fork it but Google will still be the main maintainer but also the promoter of new APIs so your fork will be forced to either implement those new APIs or to accept their upstream changes. With multiple engines that have a big enough

The thing is we can hardly have something new. A new browser engine is an incredibly hard thing to program and historically they have always been financed by multi-millions (now billions) companies. Even Firefox via Google. If you want anot

My dream monitor is a 22” 4K monitor. I searched it for a decade and this creature just doesn’t exists. There have never been a single 4K monitor under 27”. The only thing that somehow could do the job would be iMac’s panels but I’m just no

I don’t get why you are downvoted. Like, sure, Netatmo probably had to do it for multiple reasons. But still it shows how stupid and fragile our always connected future is. Like, yes, for sure Netatmo is in the good guys team and cut the th

Corporations are organized to dilute responsibility. In corporations, nobody knows what the other employees really do, nobody know where the decisions are coming from and why. Employees and managers make stupid decisions under pressure. You

It depends on what you store and your backup strategy. You rarely have 2TB of really precious data on a microSD. microSD are meant to easily store a local copy of your data, not to be a reliable long term storage. You can also use it to sto

I support the fact that messaging should be interoperable and accessible by any client application. I want applications like Beeper to succeed because I’m totally fed up to be forced to use 3 or 4 messaging applications. I’m fed up to not b

Yes but also in FP perspective, a program without IO will not be ran at all. Except if you count static parameter to not be an input, then you have a static output which is basically a constant. Compiler may in fact try to transform it int

The whitelist would be on the phone number/icloud id and not tied to the device. That’d be pretty difficult to get second hand, especially when you can just spam over SMS. They could even release a new iMessage protocol with another bu
