Who cares about popularity? It often brings more trouble than anything. Emacs is a gem and will probably stay like that for decades to come. The only thing I wonder about is how it is possible that Stallman seems to have never heard about o

I'd say via Emacs is the easiest way. You can use org-mode as well which is the best (most customizable and individual) TODO solution that exist IMO. When you want to adapt Emacs to your workflow you are kind of forced to learn Lisp an

I like this description why people should mention GNU. With "open source software" or "Linux" or "Ubuntu" there are no moral implications, nothing to stand for except that it should do the job. But GNU is diffe

not it's not just a backup. I backup my vault of course. it's: 1. a way to access most of my passwords from everywhere even when I don't have access to the vault 2. a way to access most of my passwords even when all of my vau

I also found that having one master password like that is probably not so clever. But who is saying that you have to use the three input fields like this? I came up with my own system. So I'm kind of using lesspass now as a password ge

good question. of course I got older which helped in bringing the inhibitions down which made me more aware of myself and of my own feelings. then going after those feelings and trying to figure out what they mean I slowly discovered what w

it's not so hard when you know how. so when a person looks at you and you feel insecure the normal reaction would be to look away. now just don't look away being conscious of this feeling that makes you want to look away. the key

I have struggled with "depression" for decades. Now I'm healed. I went to countless psychiatrists, took drugs and everything. I didn't really help much. I told them I feel bad, they labeled me "depressive" with

I'd say you brought your takeaway along already, i.e. your conviction on how the world operates - and you "took it away" again since all that we can "discover" is usually a subset of what we believe already.

It's nice to see MS pushing for tracking protection as well. Firefox now takes the lead on privacy issues. Google will try to hold it off as not to hurt their own business. People will eventually migrate away from Chrome because of thi

Well, actually it was introduced after Chrome switched to this same model. So it looked like Chrome is advancing faster because they released a new major version every few weeks and it got more press. I suppose that's why they really s

as already mentioned, Firejail https://firejail.wordpress.com/ is easy to use and was made at first to run Firefox in a sandbox. It has pretty neat options and can isolate the FS, make use of a temporary home etc.

I agree, what I was getting at was that requiring detailed information upfront is going to give you even less reports, so it is advisable to get the information you need afterwards as I explained here: https://news.ycombinator.co

yeah, I understand the practical side of the problem and is certainly not easy as you say. as for issue templates, reporting guidelines etc., they make it even less likely that people report a problem. as the article mentions, even on a pro

and then consider the typical project on Github which makes it intentionally hard to open up an issue, like with a template where you need answer 10 questions right down to your underpants size...

Another approach that leads to similar results: try to apply the Golden Rule to your life... "do unto others what you would have them done to you" Then in every situation try to think how you would want to be treated or how you wo
