Looks nice! Reminds me of a similar program (a bbs door, really) named ‘yogurt’ by @sedatk — I remember using it to improve my fast-typing around 2002-2003. This brings back memories :) “Time it needs time to win back your love again”

1. I’ll give you one guess why that is. 2. It is possible, and you better believe it. They haven’t updated it, because there is no need for it. Signal is simply not interested in your messages. It’s also not interested in your metadata, bec

Useful as a for-profit cryptocurrency? I think zero chance. The only way I see anything like that incorporated is a folding@home kind of thing that could help humanity as a whole. Of course, if someone makes it work like you suggested, and

I have always denied Instagram access to my camera, microphone, photos, and location, on top of disabling background refresh. Sometimes, upon switching to the app, I get this screen: https://i.imgur.com/Sj8Dikg.png This has

Depending on the flavour of the linguist, they could say "as long as the correct meaning is conveyed, go wild" :)

Wayland? Sure does. I have been using sway for a while with three monitors; two of them 1080p, one 1440p.

I'm talking about the difference between making money off a good product, and being on a quest to enrich yourself at all costs, even if it's detrimental to virtually everyone on the planet, and the company in the long term.

I thought it was a very good description. The person mentioned is responsible for turning one of the most important pieces of software used by billions, into user-hostile experiences that's better for only a few, including himself, jus

It feels like some people don't imagine these companies to be ready for compliance. As if they don't have all the knobs ready to turn on a per-region/country/state basis as soon as the law changes and it becomes possible

I don't think believing why the most valuable company in the world with the highest and thickest walls around its garden, and a track record of not playing nice with others, is doing this, requires much explanation except that they wan

I'm not trying to discredit GDP; I don't think it is a useless metric. Lawmakers around the world—some that are paid handsomely—care about it and obviously quite a bit can be inferred from it, but in this case we would be better s

Maybe what we should question is the relevance and importance of such metrics.

If a friend of mine had written this article as a joke, I'd laugh my ass off because it's that funny.
