To me, Linux was at its peak around 2005-2010. From then on it went downhill, unfortunately.

This is really nice! I also feel that the same way about how music, and especially the concept of an album, has lost its value in times of streaming due to giving up ownership, having access to everything, over-using playlists, and the abse

Looks interesting, but I don't really understand how it works. I open the website, type a message, then I see my own message. I scan the QR code with my phone, then I also see a message window on my phone where I can type messages. Now

Doesn't seem to work in Firefox. You get just a white view.

Tried again, same result. This is what I get: https://imgur.com/CvqjIhy (And I already have glasses, thank you).

What exactly does this do? They have examples with a divider in the middle that you can move around and one side says "input" and the other "output". However, no matter where I move the slider, both sides look identical

The intersection of not understanding digital audio and not understanding the neuroscience of hearing remains a place that never ceases to amaze me.

Yes, I was also surprised that the new features are only for phones. I guess aiming to be "better" than other chat apps (with the others nowadays being Whatsapp and co) means to be "mobile first"... sigh

I am a bit confused. This seems to be about the command line programme "ffmpeg" that comes with the library, but not the library itself. That programme seems already very well documented, with a help option, a man page and everyth

I suspect because they don't leverage the main advantage of a GUI toolkit: provide a coherent, familiar and proven user interface. These examples all look like websites and all have completely different styles. I can see how this fits

Thanks for your comment! In principle, you could indeed - even with the current FLAC container - have a single FLAC file in combination with a cue sheet. But I wanted more than this: 1. Something that is based on what people do already (e.g

The problem is that those in charge disagree with that. When I brought this up after a recent policy change at my department to not allow hiring own PhDs as postdocs (because they should go to another lab, as this is what your CV is expecte

Nice, but (like most tools) misses the crucial feature of start (or scheduled) dates. I think of one the best plain text implementations of a todo system is the one that is a bit hidden in the task plugin that comes with Zim Wiki [0]. It ha

Nice. I also looked into this a while ago and came up with a very simplistic (few lines) Python implementation that does this and even allows for some customization: https://gist.github.com/fladd/36c422f1c0e9bf02f41f9fa

Except that every app can have its own "primary" colour, so you have to learn as many rules as you have apps, instead of one if a button would just look like a button.

It is not working a all. I cannot verify a single one of my devices. With cross-signing enabled. It used to work just fine, and then one day there was a Riot update that broke everything. The issue seems to be known to you, though. Please s

Shipping next week in Riot "stable" already? Does that mean that also device verification will be functional by then? That would be fantastic (and also pretty impressive, given that it is unfortunately still entirely non-functiona

The fact that there exist other clients that are specifically "built with user experience in mind" (Ditto) or built "to be a Matrix app that everyone can use" (Pattle) sometimes makes me wonder why that would not also be

Oh, sorry, I didn't know Discord gives people their own exclusive servers to host their rooms on for free. I assumed you just create new rooms on their main server, in which case it would be comparable to signing up to the matrix.org h

I now did install it with Pip, and while the REPL now sees my correct Python version (3.7.0), it still does not know any imported packages that are installed in this system Python. Unfortunately, there also does not seem to be any setting i

Thanks for clarifying this. This was not clear from the website. So Mu is actually not a "simple editor", but a full Python distribution :-)

It is entirely not clear to me which Python binary this editor uses by default. It is most definitely not the one that the `python3` command on my system is set to. Hence, it finds none of my packages. The editor seems to use some Python 3.

Looks interesting, but it has the same bug as the normal file editing in Gitlab. As soon as I click on edit, the syntax highlighting (no matter what theme I have selected) changes to something completely different.
