But a bookmarklet saves you from having to run an extension at all times.

First time I've heard of pastel outside of my mother's family. I thought it's a very local thing. My mother is from Santa Catarina, but I grew up in south west Germany.

It's somehow still using more bandwidth than Google Meet with the same number of video streams.

No doubt. But isn't that unrelated to what I said? I was just explaining my grandparent's comment. To provide the same API for such a broad set of underlying technology, you necessarily have to shoehorn a few things to make them f

A pandemic might have helped here in prioritizing. ;-) But does it also work with multiple external displays? Because it worked on a single screen for me back then, too.

Possibly the situation is better today and it might be even better once GTK5 will make it to end users. But if Wayland folks think that having two external displays and screen sharing is an esoteric workflow, I know that my decision was cor

It means that GTK itself (internally, not necessarily its API) has warts.

It's been a while. The last thing that was an absolute mess was screen sharing via Google Hangouts/Meet. You could share individual windows just fine, but I had two external displays attached to my notebook and wanted to share a s

I won't give Wayland another try until I absolutely have to. And I might even consider going back to Windows before doing so. Every attempt to do the switch (sometimes forced by bad decisions of distributions) broke essential functiona

I think the points in the article are all very good except for the conclusion: cheap and easy web hosting can't change the current situation, because of the number of people without a technical background (1000 to 1, as mentioned in th

Building a new decentralized social network reminds me of building yet another Linux desktop distribution. While you might find a niche, you'll never get enough traction to compete with the big players, being Android and Windows for de

Do you know how Ars Technica does it? Is there some personalized URL to the suscriber feed? I imagine those are pretty easily shared among a group of people?

As he had problems with Node.js dependencies, switching to Python might not be the best idea. I suggest an engine that compiles to a static binary instead. Hugo is a popular solution like that.

Why should Clojure benefit more from Loom than other languages? I think it simplifies reactive/concurrent programming in any JVM language.

That tool is a gem! I didn't have many situations where I could have used this during the past two years, but things seem to become a little better now.

I can confirm that theory. I wrote my own HTML5 template for my blog when HTML5 was pretty fresh. I don't recall where I exactly got the boilerplate from. I thought it might have been html5boilerplate.com, but I just checked the v1.0 t

I don't get it. If there are stores that sell half loaves of bread, can't you go to any of them and just buy half a loaf? Even if they don't have half ones, they will cut one into two halves, won't they? Otherwise, I don

Mercedes had a self-driving car prototype in the 80s and got it to drive at high speeds on the Autobahn in the 90s. [1] So it took them only 30 years from protoype to product. [1]: https://www.politico.eu/article/delf-d

Did you have a look at https://htmx.org/ ? I think it solves the "just a tiny bit of interactivity on an MPA" kind of thing.

Since joining NATO is a process rather than will happen immediately, this is not really an option. This caused the mess the Ukraine is in in the first place. Putin is really clear that he won't tolerate NATO to expand to any more dir

This is a real gem. I really like the quotes. But for some reason this page loads and renders much more slowly on my phone than I would expect, telling from its content.
