Yup noticed this. Which just reinforces my belief that MacPorts is better designed than homebrew.

by vin047 3y ago
Used to feel this way until I discovered MacPorts. So much faster than brew and prefer it placing everything in /opt and not relying on system binaries. Now I only use homebrew to manage Casks and a few esoteric binaries (really rare).

It’s a classic startup mistake – alienate your current evangelical users so you can appeal to the (uninterested) masses. Paul Graham has a line about how you should aim for a deep but narrow well rather than a wide but shallow one. Sad that

Looks like the language search in GitHub only finds users where the majority of their repos are in a given language. If your repos are a mix of different languages then you won't appear in the search results it seems. https:/&#x2

From the extension description, Tab Stash seems to save all open tabs as bookmarks. But this feature is already built into Firefox. Am I missing something? I’ve never used either of these extensions (will be trying out TST) so forgive my ig

I’ve been trying [Lemmy]( https://join-lemmy.org ) for a while - it’s an open source, federated alternative to Reddit (and uses an interface similar to old.reddit.com). The main instance has a pretty heavy left bias, and like all

Perhaps Mozilla should put the more advanced features and customisation options behind a monthly subscription. I know people dislike monthly subscriptions, but the browser is perhaps THE most important tool you can use. Maybe it's time

Thanks for the info. I was under the impression that you were claiming that Matrix is less secure than WhatsApp. If they both leak metadata then they're roughly equal from a privacy perspective no? I guess with WhatsApp you can't

I agree with your sentiment, but this actually highlights just how necessary it is to not solely trust the large players with our personal memories; by relying on a single, walled garden to play host for our memories, we're increasing

Two issues, one is cost – TV's are expensive as is, so consumers don't want to spend extra to purchase a standalone set-top box right after spending a large amount. Second issue is that the average consumer wants smart TV's –

Protocol Labs (the guys behind IPFS) have been working on https://filecoin.io to address this exact concern – incentivising people via micropayments in their cryptocurrency (filecoin) to pin and seed files.

Interesting project, though to be clear, you're using the Sia network and not IPFS right? Also do you have Swift bindings for use in an iOS app?
