I can see that Browsh's injected JS isn't able to hide your text to take the screenshot, which in turn means that Browsh can't parse the text. There could be a number of reasons for this, but it's very much Browsh's

Thanks. Yes it's like the retro 8-bit style, it has a certain charm I agree. Damn, I can't believe I missed that! I fixed it in the code and will deploy soon with some other fixes.

Lynx doesn't even support modern SSL,let alone HTML5, CSS3, JS, WebGL, WebAssembly - all of which are supported by Browsh.

Some of you may have seen this before under its previous incarnation of "Texttop". Then it was just a hack, but I got some great feedback, so I've spent most of the last 12 months turning it into something serious. It's

Listening is like walking alongside someone, whereas informing is like walking in front of someone. Ultimately life itself is a "problem" that has no destination, it's just nicer to know we're in it together.

It's a shame you got downvoted. I agree with you. I too have mixed feelings about the implicit normalisation and glorification of such an activity through profit-led media projects. Most curiously it's not just the media community

In case anyone else is interested, the name comes from the Welsh for Merlin[1], made famous in Arthurian legend and medieval Welsh poetry. I went to school (and had my first ever paid software job) in Caerfyrddin (which can be translated as

I didn't see a price in the article. But there's a page on the Purism website to calculate prices: https://puri.sm/shop/librem-13/ Judging from that, I'd guess the model in the article is about $170

I must unreservedly restate, Buddhism is sexist. This is not a casual statement. I retort that anyone that considers otherwise has not seriously studied Buddhism. There are those who legitimately go even further to say that vast swathes o

I assume you've come across Stephen Batchelor? He has a lot of positive things to about the secular approach.

Glad to see this article getting some attention. My university training is in Religious Studies and it became clear pretty quickly that Buddhism suffers just as much as any other religion from the pathologies of global institutions of power

It very much is scandal-filled. Just take the recent coming to light of Sogyal Rinpoche's abuses of power: https://www.lionsroar.com/letter-to-sogyal-rinpoche-from-cur... Not to mention the extraordinary mess that was

It would seem there's a spectrum of them. In a sense all anxiety could be existential in the way it presses on the nerve of one's own particular instance of existence. Though I think we'd all describe Neo's awakening in

But the final site is static right? Because a Nuxt site even works with JS disabled?

Is it anti-US or rather just not pro-US? Arguably the biggest problem that Western democracy faces is apathy. So I think many of us take the opportunity to ride the wave of ire that China's policies illicit and attempt to funnel it int

I'm British and been in and around Asia about 18 months now. I agree with the article's sentiment. I might even take it a step further to say that such tourism is a metaphor for the West's relationship with Asia. I'm cur

Whilst I think there's some merit in the recent increase in China articles here. The tone of this one seems sensational. What I find most intriguing about discovering China is what it says about me and the so-called West. China's

Nothing valuable to add. Just wanted to tell someone that I grew up not only playing and loving Llamatron, but I lived just 5 miles from Mr Minter, out in the sticks of West Wales. I never met him. Now I too am a software person, championin

Whilst I agree, such conviction of argument does raise my alarm bells. I feel just a little too comfortable in the knowledge that China is of a distinctly "worse" political category. Actually, if I'm honest, this sort of argu

Good god. Also I wonder if Randall Monroe knows this somewhat ironic fact? It would make a nice addendum to the alt text on https://xkcd.com/936/ (which BTW is the origin of correcthorsebatterystaple for those wonderin

It seems odd to me that Golang treats Github as a first class citizen for package management, yet a second class citizen for core contributions. I'm really only a dabbler in Golang, so would appreciate any context. For instance I was a

Just through SSH, they're essentially identical to keyboard input, just wrapped in different ANSI escape codes.

Just to be nitpicky, the Cyrillic is ресторан, so it's pronounced something like; "restoran".

Interesting. I've actually completely rewritten the app (see the webext-rewrite branch), so now the main code lives in a webextension (ie inside a tab). Researching, I can't unfortunately see any way to get the audio for a tab :(
