Some public networks (like those at airports and coffee shops) still do sketchy things like injecting ads into HTTP sites and breaking DNS. A VPN is a great solution to these problems.

Are you running that on iSH or a jailbroken iPhone?

In that episode of The Office, Clark uses that Star Trek reference and his superior knowledge of the position he's applying to to get the job instead of Dwight's friends. I'm aware that it's from Star Trek (that's a

I wish more permissively-licensed projects used libedit instead of requiring their users to use rlwrap. It could be a simple choice for package maintainers at compile-time.

It's not a comment that adds anything to the discussion. That's why you've been downvoted.

What does Google do in this regard? I don't work there, so I'm curious to hear about their solution for endpoint security. From what I've heard, they don't allow sensitive data on laptops in the first place—you mostly SS

"Everyone" meaning a few people who care more about the social network's design than communicating with the people who use it? I find it very hard to believe that there's going to be some kind of mass de-platforming even

You can understand how C/C++ builds and dependencies work by reading a book, yes. But you can still criticize it—there's lots of stuff there to criticize! Modern languages have shown that dependency management and builds can be ea

This is just a natural consequence of programming becoming more accessible, I think. And let's not pretend that C and C++ package management is "good but misunderstood"—it needs a lot of work.

Oh, I totally agree—Sway is my favorite window manager on Linux by far. systemd and Wayland and other similar projects are controversial, but they're making huge improvements in the Linux desktop space and the lack of fragmentation is

Configurability is great, but that isn't an excuse for having poor defaults. A child comment to yours mentions that Sway now uses a heuristic to find a "reasonable" default scaling factor, so it appears that Sway currently do

It's worth mentioning that Apple's human review can be very incompetent. They rejected an update to iSH on TestFlight ( https://ish.app ) because the reviewer thought that the app's shell prompt was a "blank sc

Or at least not a serif like that in that color scheme. A thicker sans-serif in white on black could work.

It should start with a reasonable default and then give the user the choice of different scaling factors like macOS does: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/380570311227342859/...

I don't think we'll ever get into that situation. Mir is gone now and Arcan is a pretty niche solution, so I think that Wayland will continue replacing X.org unabated now.

It really depends on what you're doing. Anki is the perfect tool for memorizing vocabulary in a new language, but it's not a replacement for practicing your writing or other creative endeavors. Each technique has its place.

Working towards perpetual motion would probably lead to advancements in low-friction materials, which might make cars more efficient, for example. I think you're right that it's not an entirely pointless endeavor, although the act

I'd say that CommonMark is a pretty widely-utilized standard defining formatting including `inline code` snippets.

I don't think that Apple usually reads an app's code as part of their review process. They might check out certain parts to see how pieces are implemented, but that's about it, as far as I understand.

Go to the Alpine Linux downloads page, get the mini root FS image, and boot from that instead of the default filesystem.

You can use /dev/location, which allows you to access location data from software you run within iSH.

I am very surprised that Apple allowed this on the actual App Store (and not just TestFlight), but I'm also pleased! Hopefully it will be accessible to more people now.

Ok, it’s a young, relatively privileged, “conformist” American thing. I think that just about covers the demographic.

You must have an absolute beast of a desktop :) I have a reasonably recent mid-range desktop and zooming in and out is impressively slow in Safari. It's even slower in Chrome.

Yep, it's totally an American thing. The rest of the world uses WhatsApp, so it's much less of a big deal. But people actually do leave other people out of group chats because it would downgrade the experience from iMessage to MMS

It increases the number of people who get family Apple Music subscriptions, so it makes sense from a business standpoint. iMessage on Android, however, would kill the iPhone's biggest network effect.

It's also volatile and not easily predictable.

(H1N1)pdm09 was the worst illness I've had, both in duration and severity. Interestingly, that flu virus mostly affected younger people. I'd be interested in reading a thorough comparison of H1N1 and SARS-CoV-2.

ARM SBCs often only work with a few "approved" distributions (downloaded from the SBC vendor) because the kernel patches required for it to boot aren't in mainline Linux.
