   I haven't done any Minetest modding, but I'm sure a pretty large part of that is due to the lack of a JVM. Forge can easily enough unpack the jar for clean enough source to plug into. C++ requires the Minetest devs themselves to g

   This is true. MeddleAPI[1] is the new hotness as it allows mods to be version-agnostic, however it's still early and there's little documentation. Mojang has been talking about potentially releasing some kit for modding for years,

   This is disappointing, but I don't really blame them. Thankfully, IMAP is too established to succumb to embrace, extend, extinguish although Google seems to be trying. Chat protocols haven't been so lucky. Hopefully federated chat

   They could set up their own fdroid repo anyone could add to fdroid. Decentralization over an open protocol is a good thing. Guardian Project hosts their own and it's bundled, but there are a few private repos in the wild you can add to

   Thanks for this! Seems to cover most of my bases. Secure, on F-Droid and gappsless. Here's hoping for a mainstream XMPP resurgence. Not holding my breath though. I had played with Jitsi before too, have to see how these compare.

   I'm pretty sure it requires gapps, although I did see a websockets version so not 100%. Also, keeping your own builds up to date is possible, but a hassle. For anyone else doing that https://f-droid.org/repository/

   TextSecure used to be on fDroid, then this happened https://f-droid.org/posts/security-notice-textsecure/ . Now it's a GPlay exclusive. I don't have GAPPS so now I can't get it. I'd assume many

   I recently tried to explain my setup to a friend and realized this is getting out of hand. I like the do one thing/pluggable UNIX philosophy as much as anyone, but saying "Typescript,tslint,gulp,jspm,Karma,mocha,chai,sinon,nightwa

   I believe you have to explicitly state your right unfortunately, otherwise you lose it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berghuis_v._Thompkins

    I generally like Fastmail and the for pay model, but their Employee Access to Data section of their Privacy Policy seems to be a bit too cavalier. I may just be naive though. PP: https://www.fastmail.com/about/privacy.ht

    I would support something like an Fdroid repo for ipas and apks. It supports private repos. Every company having a repo you could simply add would be the best. Would fix trust and maintenance costs too since you control the repo list, they

    Apple supports CISA though which is pretty much poison to privacy...

    I'm pretty far in the pro-user privacy camp, but I feel this conflates things unnecessarily and confuses the end user. Private browsing now keeps your local clean of history and site data on close, but also kind of does some other disc

    Sadly, I didn't have Remzi at UW although I heard he was a great professor. Our OS class used his book and I'd vouch for it in a heartbeat. Worth a read if you want digestible CS. I remember being most interested in the 'free

    If you haven't seen it yet ProseMirror is a hopefully to be open-sourced CommonMark editor. I'm sure LaTeX support could be added as a module. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/prosemirror

    This is disappointing. Everything is becoming centralized, even Firefox extensions. I wish there was an opt out like "unknown sources" in android, but they keep saying we're not smart enough to make or own decisions. They won

    Mozilla hasn't made me very happy lately with their "choice" tactics. Resetting people's default search engine to Yahoo of all things on update was very opaque. Also the AMO signing fiasco, Pocket and Hello. Feels like a

    What I would love to see is JSdoc annotations being output from the Ts->Js step. I already add types to everything, my api documentation should be simple to generate per function. Would be DRY and another feather in Typescript's cap

    I've been using a C720 Chromebook with custom SeaBios firmware and running Linux. While not a beast, a Haswell i3 with 4GB isn't bad at the ~$300 price point. Throw in a 128GB ssd and it's good to go. It's been my daily

    Cool, reminds me of EGATrek an old dos space sim based on the Star Trek text game. Was really into it as a kid. Thanks for this and the nostalgia.
