I feel like one of the worst things to happen to software engineering is telemetry. It just leads to companies cutting all the features that I like.

Did they eventually fix the story around being able to make screenshots and screen recordings? I haven't been following Wayland much because there didn't seem to be much interest in enabling basic functionality like this early on.

I think it's completely legitimate (not necessarily the music, but the launcher has enough issues). I'm not sure why we're expected to put up badly designed software just because at some point we get to play a good game. I wi

And you're just as much a part of the problem. You're blindly punishing him for pointing out that the system is unfair und his post is not and was not deserving of downvotes. It has nothing to do with the content of his actual com

I wish the site would just get rid of downvotes. Your post is constructive and well-written, doesn't say anything egregiously offensive and isn't trolling and doesn't lack effort. The only reason why you're being downvot

Man, I'd love to get this but that price is steep. I just hate how small smartphone displays are in general and how constrained multitasking is. Say I'm chatting with somebody and I nerd a source for something I'm arguing. I

I'm not sure how it couldn't be a business. The App Store currently takes a 30% cut of every purchase. The business is running and developing an app store and we already know where its revenue would come from. It wouldn't be

Any app can prompt you to install another app without root on Android (since Android supports installing app packages outside of the Play Store). So if somebody wants to make an app store, they just need to publish an app that provides down

You know, I feel like there's a connection between companies paying off scientists and growing anti-science sentiment. Am I wrong?

This looks great, but this feels way too skewed to people who are popular or in roles of power. Is it really valuable to know what Trump is reading? Emma Watson? Ashton Kutcher? Oprah? Ellen? Musk? Tom Hanks? Like, at least Obama was in aca

Zettelkasten in digital form has been largely bastardized for some reason that I haven't quite figured out. The original ZK doesn't have timestamps and timestamps are such a terrible, uninformative, non-contextual way to codify no

I also use Squid. It's the app I'm talking about it. It effectively holds your data hostage and if there were any other alternative, I'd use it. The UI is also quite bad and the functionality just isn't there compared to

I feel like this is half a solution to me. I use Git too, but it does nothing about how notes are structured or linked, for which I lean on sublime, Obsidian and Zettelkasten.

I'm constantly annoyed that there are no decent stylus apps on Android. The only one with an infinite canvas has more annoyances and issues than I can count (beginning with how scheduled backups can only be pointed at cloud storage, an

The problem with that line of thinking is how it creates systems like the H1-B and doesn't really solve the problem of "we aren't educating enough doctors". Instead of thinking both long-term and short-term, the solution

Look, when most virologists/epidemiogists look at this "evidence" and consider it too flimsy and flawed, then I wonder why people here are so eager to jump on it as "I'm not a biologist, covid19 is so unusual, it&#x

This seems like a very cool way to tap into the dopamine reward system to encourage positive behavior (saving more money). For people who don't have savings and have a very high rate of temporal discounting and high impulsivity, this c

I'm confused. Lisp does 0-based indexing. Lisp predates C and C-like languages by decades.

That's interesting, thanks. It's going to have to wait until I buy a new phone though, since my phone doesn't have anything like this. Which leads to the next problem. I bought my phone because of its crazy long battery life.

I'd say this is the biggest issue. I own both a rooted, unlocked Android phone and a locked Samsung tablet. I have no way to know how safe any particular custom ROM is, so there's no way I'm willingly going to use any of the

Wait, this is possible without wiping data/apps? That's insane.
