Indeed. QNX is the coolest OS I ever seen and Photon felt the coolest desktop environment. Although I like XFCE in the Linux context (more than e.g. GNOME), I am sad to see it replaced Photon on QNX. Photon just looked and felt so lovely an

I don't believe children need to be guarded from porn and can be seriously harmed by it but if we assume they do - why not just disallow children to use devices and apps made for adults? Why not just give kids locked-down phones with s

EU is just rushing into bullshit dystopia scifi with its useless and harmful anonymization and chat control ideas. These just ought to fail and be rolled back. Imagining these succeed seems nearly as wild as waking up in the world where peo

Sure - the reason is the want more control over their people, they want to surveil them (hence blocking Signal), they want them to only read or express "correct" texts and prevent them from participating in open loosely-moderated

The grammar is our enemy here. Blocking a website may be Okay. Blocking a person willing to access it is not.

I consider banning it uncharacteristic to such. I can hardly consider a state where people are not allowed to access Reddit (as well as HN, Wikipedia or StackExchange) freely and anonymously a healthy civilized democracy. It can still be a

Blocking Signal or Reddit sounds bizarre for a civilized democratic country. What sense can that make other than denying people the right for privacy of personal communications or uncensored information access? I am very surprised Nepal goe

What we need is stop fighting robots and start welcoming and helping them. I se zero reasons to oppose robots visiting any website I would build. The only purpose I ever tried disallowed robots for was preventing search engines from indexin

It's time to stop blocking crawlers and using captchas and start building web sites that are intentionally AI-friendly by design. Even before the modern LLMs, anti-scraper measures apparently were primarily befitting Google whose scrap

In the EU I've never heard of a single union other than itself. Every time I see the word "union" it's about the US. This doesn't mean they don't exists in the EU, in fact it some googling uncovers they pretty

32-hour workweek still is too much. For six-hour workdays would be a reasonable change. Specifically for the United States - also a mandatory 20-workday vacation (I live in the EU, heard Americans only have 2 weeks an that sounds nightmaris

Better avoid living in states (not only American) which claim a right to surveil, let alone decide what takes place within your body. If your state issues such a law - run, it is fascist now, no matter how nice it seems in other aspects so

Does anybody know a good service providing an API capable of categorizing URLs? I have a big collection of unsorted bookmarks I want to categorize by subject. I was planning to use Pocket for this. Is there any good alternative?

What is Oberon useful for? Apparently it's not very feature rich: limited Unicode support, limited graphics support, no XML, no JSON, no HTTP. Or am I wrong?

This depends on whether you want to exchange data with other computers using even removable media, let alone the Internet. Also whether you want to use Unicode. In case you only want to hand-type, edit and print a plain English paper right

Your comment seems too charged emotionally and politically (so I'm afraid people are going to downvote) but makes a lot of sense. That's so weird they focus on videos when eInk lovers mostly are readers and mostly own other device
