This is a false dichotomy - the nature of the colony matters a LOT more than you allude to here. Singapore got a heck of a lot better deal as a colony than e.g. African colonies because we didn't get ruthlessly exploited and instead ju

It is not nonsensical in the slightest. The government does their best to maintain a monoculture while promoting the farce of multiculturalism, because a monoculture facilitates easier economic growth which is the overall aim of the governm

The reason for your last point is that Singaporeans are taught in school that we were nothing but a fishing village until first colonialism (and Chinese immigrants) arrived and turned us into a major port, then the PAP (Lee Kuan Yew's

No, I'm not jumping on you. I'm asking why not base your personal software on Immich so you get the benefits of a mature (ish) software. Sorry if it came off that way, but I'm not saying you need to share it - I'm saying

Do you also have .DS_Store tracked? If not, you are obviously not who the commenter is referring to and missing the point

This is a horrible title. The developer has kept the entire source code open and you can build from source to get all paid features, and offers a free 14 day trial for all new users. The core functionality of Alt Tab to switch windows is st

It resonates with me. I grew up coding with basically zero network - software engineering basically only became viewed as a viable career in my country when it became lucrative, right as I was beginning my schooling i.e. I walked into a sna

You are being needlessly combative. Please take a step back and look at what you are doing - I don't think this is positive for you or anybody

You're not wrong, but a fork of Immich would achieve much of the same, no? I understand this is probably a detour from the conversation, but I've been thinking of doing the same to add some niceties

ah, great idea. I stopped using a multiplexer when i switched to using a terminal with tabs - thank you for the tip

They don't get enough credit? Anthropic is making an insane amount of money. More popular software projects have made exponentially less and have received even less media attention/fame/whatever metric you might use to define

What? I would much rather be the world's best basketweaver than the 10,000th best SWE at Meta. Are you sure you aren't projecting your biases on what you think is more fulfilling?

Are we gatekeeping being a hacker based on wearing cargo pants now? Such a weird point to take a stand on Phones have not been communication devices for a decade unless you want to extend the definition to social media and media consumption

I did not watch Terminator 2 as it came out before I was born I find it hard to disagree with you though - I like what the flipper team is doing but I think yeah I would be hard pressed to find a use for a device that doesnt have a keyboard

From the FlipCTL description, I'm surmising the intended use case is this as a cyberdeck aka using it for external tasks, vs. hacking on it at home with your actual keyboard. For example you make a config for X task at home and perform

How many people wear cargo pants or would be willing to switch to wearing them to carry a GPD Win Mini around vs. how many people would prefer a device that fits in any of their pockets? Look at the market share of phones vs GPD Wins and yo

Feels like this may run into a no true scotsman but this is demonstrably false if you look at the number of marijuana smokers in countries where they impose severe penalties (up to life) on them
