I wonder if more differentiated branding would have helped. Chrome/Chromium is another example that came to mind: Like "Code - OSS" (the open-source base of VSCode), Chromium works just fine as a browser but with fewer Google

Your devices will connect to each other peer-to-peer (even behind complex NATs) with no manual configuration, subject to ACLs you centrally manage. It just works. People sometimes dismiss Tailscale as "just" a WireGuard orchestrat

Not Nintendo, but you as a modder need to block Nintendo's servers when inside the custom firmware, otherwise you risk being banned.

I'm talking about RBI, not browser automation tools which could be the basis of RBI. I guess the core value add of RBI are two parts: Integration with the client (e.g., `<input type="file">`) and the streaming technolog

This is the right way. I mentioned in another comment, but abbreviations also shine when screen sharing: Everyone can follow along quickly without having to ask the "what does this gcob command do" questions.

Yes, and this is why I recommend against the alias-y wrappers. Personally, I like using abbreviations ("abbr") in fish, which automatically expand as you hit space. This is especially helpful when screen sharing: No more "wha

Would be neat if the author added some text to the demo page when prefers-reduced-motion is in effect, similar to <noscript> tags alerting you to the fact that JavaScript is disabled.

There is no "independent fork," unless you consider the Chromium skins independent forks too.

Not really familiar with costs at this scale, I'm interested to see HN's take on whether this is considered cheap or expensive compared to other federal projects (both contracted and in-house). My naive view is that this was a gen

For the record, rebeccapurple was ratified in June 2014 [0] and was added to mainstream browsers late that year [1]. I imagine it wouldn't be "web-safe" until 2015/2016 at the earliest. (Not doubting your anecdote - Just

If you use a VoIP service like Twilio and voip.ms, you can set up a very simple IVR menu that just asks unknown callers to press 1 to be connected to you. No AI involved. For me, this has been surprisingly effective against robocalls. Obvio
