I have a use case for a niche audience: The videogame Final Fantasy XIV has a lot of text. A LOT of text. Someone has made a plugin to pipe text to external tts services, or a websocket. You talk to characters in game and hear the dialog re

Free speech means he can say (edit) legally protegted speech* on his own platform. No company is obligated to provide that platform for him. When judging a company for what content they decide they don't want to host, spinning "vi

You seem to be willfully ignoring the demonstrable harm he causes. You're promoting a false balance. You're saying "Alex Jones robbed a bank, other people eat their coworkers' lunch, so who are we to judge?" Absolut

Your definition of "free speech" includes not taking action against truly malicious and slanderous and manipulative people like Alex Jones? And there is no "who draws the line‽" argument here, Jones exists miles beyond w

Yeah, right now my biggest challenge is VR. I have been able to work around everything else, but VR is increasingly becoming the domain of those with 10 fingers and two wrists. I can play beatsaper by taping the controller to my arm, but th

Rather than simply disabling the tabs, I find it useful to conditionally disable them: ``` #main-window:not([customizing]):not([tabsintitlebar="true"]) #toolbar-menubar[inactive="true"] + #TabsToolbar { visibility: col

I used to run foobar2000 in wine, because no other linux media player scratched some of the itches foobar covered. There is even a foobar2000 package in the arch aur so it simply installs like any other pacman managed program. However, once

This genuinely surprises me. OpenVPN is a dense and obtuse rabbit hole of many poorly named configuration options with terrible documentation. WireGuard asks so much less of you.

I was interested until I saw the gestures. I don't have a left hand, I don't have six fingers, guess I'll stick with my mouse. I'm sure this could be adapted for one-hand use, but- and maybe I'm slightly biased, but

What is "ricing" in this context? I do agree I need to come up with a better way to maintain and distribute this, I'll look into LARBS.

I could imagine a "resistance" bombarding wechat with so much garbage that the PRC wouldn't be able to trust intel gathered from it.

All you linux veterans may cringe at it, but maybe check out my dotfiles. I have spent years cultivating a complete DE experience around dwm. It shouldn't be too hard to drop in your wm of choice. I have used it with HiDPI but only bri

My 2c I recently got signal because some friends made me. Given how old it is, I was shocked by how poor some aspects are. I liked using it as an android sms app, until I replied to one too many sms over signal because signal always default

How many employees from Microsoft in the 90s are still there now, calling the shots? Microsoft is a company like any other, and like any other company we should keep an eye on what they're doing. But too often the people who "reme

Could you give me a little insight into your use case? I'm personally excited for ipfs, but I've stopped following releases / am feeling burnt out by the slow pace of development. Still, good to see creative uses pop up in my

I find the ZUI style navigation works particularly well for finding large files and folders- this requires weighing larger folders with a bigger size, rather than just representing each file in a static grid. My favorite example: https:&#x

It's entirely marketing, there is no actual data supporting the claim that it's healthier for you. It succeeds by the "appeal to nature" fallacy, which causes a bunch of problems and gets decidedly anti-science in a few

I am wary of making predictive generalizations, but I have been thinking about the effect of "just works" computers for roughly ten years. The robotics program in my highschool folded after I left, in part because no one was left

This is just blither. They were right: Microsoft and corporate Linux provide security patches for older operating systems for quite a long time. Your obvious animosity for Microsoft has no bearing on that fact.

Why would you want to constantly recompile documents every time you make an edit to them? Why would you want to juggle two files for every document you produce?

One of the things that can really make or break a project for me is how its developers behave towards the users. The developer of this project is a really upstanding, responsive, kind human being. I think his project deserves all the attent

If you think different profiles is comprable to container tabs, you haven't really understood how to use container tabs, or possibly even what container tabs are for.
