A very relatable struggle. Cool project! I remember getting into WoL as a kid playing with our home PC, felt like magic to press a button on my phone and watch the fully powered off machine come to life. Never sorted out a reliable enough s

It sucks, but it's the only service anyone ever uses. Doesn't really matter what I prefer when every financial service i want to use offers Plaid or nothing.

I like RebornOS, also got frustrated with Manjaro I didn't have it installed more than a day. Immediately ran into package conflicts trying to set up because their repo hadn't updated with versions AUR packages depended on.

Yup, I'm moving to a new ptimary checking account currently because I'm sick of my local credit union that is apparently so incompetent they can't handle sending email alerts correctly. Also, any bank or credit card that won&

I was expecting this to be containers under the hood, instead it seems the idea is basically to bundle your virtualenv and ship it to prod? I think I'll stick with Docker...

This is interesting, I haven't ever used the Qt framework but I'm surprised that it would even have an SSL implementation, sounds a bit out of scope for a GUI toolkit. I think I'd prefer to do all my networking separately and

I'm going to ask a lazy question instead of figuring it out myself for the sake of discussion, feel free to ignore if I should just Google it: Where would one start in building an alternative to libtorrent? Have there been any attempts

Gut instinct I was with you, but actually yes--there's some places I definitely want to be aware and/or involved when software updates and the torrent client is one of them. Not that it should force you to go download and install

I like your first point, hadn't thought of it that way; makes it seem just a bit more reasonable. Regarding "create value" though, that's where I think a lot of the negative sentiment comes in: the vast majority of these

But that's why the government had to regulate it. If companies have financial incentive to do something they're going to do it, to make them stop that incentive must be removed. I don't think that comment was intending to jus

Yeah to be clear I only meant to summarize their position as I read it from the paper, I don't know enough to make a judgement on who is right. Appreciate the summary of counterpoints though, very helpful for my understanding!

It's a bit dense for sure, lost me a few paragraphs in but this sentence got the point across well enough: > It is not based on consistency with the observed data, but rather on the highest rate of appearance of the image morpholog

I keep my Waydroid session running in the background, managed by a systemd user-level service. Works great, and if it increases resource usage I don't notice--this is on a converted Chromebook so pretty low specs.

I would go for multiple air paths over a wider one, don't want to end up with a smoothie straw you can suck liquid vape juice out of. But yeah length can be an issue and width also, for the ones that wrap around the cartridge to be mor

Rechargeable vape pens are incredibly cheap, and disposables aren't noticeably more expensive overall so the cost difference is insignificant. Couple reasons for a preference (personally don't vape nicotine and I've never car

I'm not sure this will actually end up changing much because of how they've carved out exceptions for refillable or rechargeable devices. I don't vape nicotine but I occasionally buy a disposable THC vape, and nearly every on

I mean it reads like ad copy, and the entire first paragraph takes so many words to say nothing more than "I agree." As comments go, I have to say I've seen better.

This sounds better if you never use cloud editor platforms; devcontainer can be useful if you jump between local coding and say GitHub Codespaces where devcontainer.json is automatically recognized. IME a hybrid of your approach and devcont

Maybe on iOS? On Android the keyboard app is fully in charge of autocorrect so they all behave a bit differently.

I think the GP was suggesting, and imo it's a good idea, that you should first ask them to update your birth date saying you entered it incorrectly. Then you can request deletion again and your ID should be accepted.

Interesting, yeah could be. Disabling Play Store auto-updates for the app if enabled might help. Actually I'm not sure how you installed Amazon Shopping from the Amazon store anyways? I installed it a while back assuming they would hav

The identifier would be the package name baked into the APK, "com.amazon.mshop.android.shopping" in this case, likely the same for both versions. I'm sure there's several ways that issue could have happened but my first

I don't think the new manifest rules are because of any actual restriction or the engine, maybe I'm wrong but it was my impression that the change is mostly just Google wanting to control what users can do with their browsers even

I really wish I could agree but sadly this has not been my experience with Firefox, and I have so many issues I've started to switch away recently. Wasting way too much time fighting with websites that turn out to work perfectly fine o

That was my first thought, sounds uncomfortable. Hopefully you'd just get used it though and to be fair, it's definitely less uncomfortable than dying from preventable diseases.

I'm not familiar with the security guarantees of WASM in the browser but I imagine they're more along the lines of preventing data exfiltration from the browser/OS, it would be difficult to prevent something like abusing your

This sounds super frustrating, as someone who has an idea or two for browser extensions I'm not looking forward to all the bureaucracy. I actually love the idea of requiring and validating reproducible builds but they really should inv

Thanks, what an awful article. I gave up after eight paragraphs in and it had said absolutely nothing.

I honestly can't think of any drop-in libraries that would give you much .NET (wow that name sucks to type on mobile) doesn't already give you, though if you're struggling with a particularly slow implementation of something
