As an engineer and self-hosting and self-coding enthusiast, I would agree with a lot of the points. I have spent most of my life in IT advocating for decentralization and democratization. However, as someone who has had enough experience in

You know that you are dealing with a fascist scumbag the moment you hear "terrorist", "antifa" and "law and order" in the same phrase. Flock is a disgrace for the industry, and this fascist sociopath is a disgr

I don't get it. If you hate Windows just use Linux, BSD or whatever. I'm sick of all the "Windows 11 sucks" folks that yet keep using Windows. Just boot your laptop from a Linux ISO and you've got the best way to by

Or just use the Surfingkeys extension - it has a bit of a steep learning curve to customize it, but it's worth every piece of effort.

My advice is to build such solutions around open products like Signal, XMPP or Matrix if possible. Or even Telegram. On top of providing a better developer experience compared to Meta's ultra-locked and limited APIs, they aren't s

As the developer of a GPS tracking app that relies a lot on OpenStreetMap, I've faced many of these problems myself. A couple of learned lessons/insights: - I avoid relying on any generic location name/description provided by

The irony of watching this 2017 TED video in 2025, and find out that my NoScript extension reports half a dozen of JS trackers and ads providers on this page - including Google, doubleclick.net, sail-personalize and sail-track. Oh, and if y

Of course, I'm not saying that one size fits all. There are cases like media apps, camera apps, videogames, terminal emulators, clipboard managers etc. that won't become Web apps any time soon. Either because they need to operate

All the features you mentioned can also be achieved by a well developed PWA. Of course, minus the widgets or some deeper system integration (like controlling phone calls etc.)

It doesn't sound like anything that a PWA (paired with some a sync mechanism like Websockets) can't solve. And with WebAssembly the convergence is even more compelling.

I'd assume that self-hosting is not an option for this user? Otherwise the alternatives would be pretty much a nobrainer for me: Microsoft Office 365 -> Nextcloud Bitwarden -> self-hosted Bitwarden/Vaultwarden GitHub -> S

This got me genuinely interested - until I cloned the project and saw the docker-compose file. Minio + Celery + 4-5 services just for the main app + Keycloak? I'm sorry, but this isn't something that "anyone can run". Th

It depends on how much Firefox enshittifies. If it's just about removing some telemetry configuration from upstream, then a couple of downstream patches will still do the job. If, say, Firefox decides to fully embrace the spyware busin

The thing is that, in a platform based on link sharing, it should be known which domains point to URL shorteners. Even if you automate their handling, the algorithm should know that, if it bumps into a say signal.me, bit.ly or goo.gl URL, i

I did my Github -> self-hosted Gitlab -> Gitea -> Forgejo journey over the years, and I haven't looked back. Forgejo is great and it's probably going to become even greater once federation is done (having distributed fork

I wish this was the case, I doubt it'll be the case. Suppose for example that the foundation agrees that Manifest V3 is a bad idea (and, objectively, it is an awful idea). I can't imagine a world where the contributors from Google

Just install a PiHole in your home network. I've got a Samsung smart TV I purchased a couple of years ago. I've never seen a single ad on it (the drawback is that the TV's app store doesn't work either as it belongs to a

Platypush isn't a stand-alone app, but it provides a PWA for mobile - if that's what you mean. My main goal was to make block editing available through a Web-based interface. Extensibility is a good point, and one that at some poi

The release 1.3.0 of Platypush adds a visual editor for automation snippets that takes inspiration from Tasker and IFTTT. I did some small jobs nearly two decades ago introducing school kids to programming through Scratch and the Lego Minds

Been there. There was this old fashioned developer in one of the companies I worked for a decade ago who never understood nor embraced version control (we were talking of SVN at the time, not even git). Luckily that wasn't the case for

If my understanding of the article right, the counter needs to be updated by the business logic every time the underlying array is updated. This doesn't seem to solve any problems. Indeed, it's just synctatic sugar to wrap up what

Are there people who still watch videos from that cesspit domain called youtube.com? Do yourself a favour and use Libretube/NewPipe/Tartube/mpv, or any other youtube-dl/yt-dlp based wrapper. No trackers, no ads whose agg
