A browser with a subscription. I have no words. People try to make money out of anything. And they succeed in this. The world is an insane place, really.

They should start a Kickstarter campaign to introduce a complete UX overhaul. I want to pay for it. I want to have an intuitive way to do stuff.

I'm not a heavy listener. Most of the time I prefer silence. So I just wanted my music to be accessible when I need it. As for the recommendations, occasionally I listen to the bandcamp feed. Not even sure if it's based on my foll

I get your point in a way. If we get into details of owning different stuff, then yeah, there are pros and cons of this and that. Btw, I actually set up a server using Raspberry Pi with 1TB of storage for my music collection to be able to a

Ownership is a pretty practical and obvious thing. It is either mine to use/do whatever I want with it or it is not. Whether it's a car or a piece of media. So I can't agree with you here. Yeah, a vinyl is much less important

Oh, man. I get the social thing around these experiences. People nowadays asking me what I watched and the next question is it on Netflix? Yeah, alright. I don't want the life to roll back to old days, I'm completely fine with thi

Yeah, I agree. If I was not a minority, the market would be different. I don't mind buying major updates for the software I'm using. The issue with software subs is that the moment I stop it, I don't have access to it anymore

After the purchase you get to download the audio files. And it stays available to download in your profile.

For me any modern service that uses subscription model feels like unnecessary fraudulent scheme. I use bandcamp to buy music, because it's a clear and a straightforward way to do it. Never ever am I going to subscribe to anything, beca

Been using it for my personal website for over a year as a self-hosted solution. Not great if you want just to set it up and forget about it. There are breaking changes every now and then on every part, DB and the FE. So at some point it ju

My distro path was Ubuntu -> Solus -> Fedora. Never looked back. There's nothing stable in the world of linux distros, but Fedora makes this a lot less painful. Most of the time I just don't have any issues with it. Even my

I never understood people discussing JS and TS as different entities. TS is JS, but with types. But to be fair I can't imagine now using untyped JS without an LSP of some sort.

This is such an old topic. Every time something related to the Telegram happens, somebody starts a discussion about how it's not an e2e-by-default. But the reality is nobody cares. And considering this, it's ridiculous now that Du

Hm, if my personal decision to not use streaming services can be perceived as boycott, then ok. But looks like too big of a word in this case :)

Interesting how the reasoning is on the UI/algo side when it should be about how artists are treated. I "quit" Spotify or any other streaming service without even subscribing to them.

What I really don't like about Duolingo is how they try to progressively increase your load. Whether it's the monthly achievement or friends' quest, if you try to go faster, then you'll have to go through much more in or

I have an old Intel Mac Pro 2015, which slowly transitioned from my working laptop to a personal use laptop. I'm using VSCode there and it works fine. I mean I've never faced any slowdowns because of the VSCode. I had a small proj

A good interview is an absolutely rare thing. I can't name the chances, but throughout one's career it's going to be close to amount of jobs one's going to land. More likely less than that number. From my experience you

Not sure if it’s a valid point, but what I would like to have - kind of a regex or a template for strings or numbers. Otherwise, it’s still just a sting or a specific value. It’s not like you are free to update backend to prefix ids to your

I would understand pros of the physical keyboard if there was no slide to type feature. But it's there for some time already and I don't see how having a physical keyboard is going to be beneficial. The issue with typing on touchs

It was simple not so long ago. You either buy stuff or pirate it. Then everything moved to the subscription model. You don’t own what you’ve bought anymore. And now you have to watch ads while being a paying customer. It feels like pirating

No Cyrillic languages. It shows only few ligatures for JavaScript. And with this in mind it costs $75 when there are plenty free alternatives. Who's the target audience here?

Looks nice, but seems like it has too much of customisation. I'm using Fira Code for multiple years now and the setup is super straightforward. Just install, add it to config, enable ligatures and you are good to go. Looking at the Ios

Doesn't seem to work on macos. It opens up, but has visual noise while I move the cursor. And I couldn't open a folder, because the dialog was unresponsive.
