Would love to see the base of products like this open sourced.

I'm able bodied, but years back suffered tremendous pain, that led to me having to lie down on my back and use the computer with a keyboard. And TBH even that was a pain. I got quite far under OSX tiger, and browse the web. Use a te

Using google to find specific websites, only amounts to me typing hacker news or facebook. That's about it. My main bulk of queries are question based, but I'm also from a previous era, where I throw keywords at Google rather th

People kind of go through a contrarian phase. I read something the other day, probably on Twitter, that to get the answer you want, you deliberately put out the wrong answer. And leach out the bile to get results. I think there are still

I struggle reading threads on Twitter, just as I do on HN. If I could watch the thread grow organically perhaps possibly via a visual map, I'd stand a chance. Fork a thread on Twitter and content can end up totally buried. It's

I wonder if we could make a more semantic web by enforcing some meta data standards and having more piecemeal content.

I was reading some tech article the other day. Something like 10 best Foos or something. And there was no date on it. A commenter said, great article but no date, and the author replied that the page was refreshed with evergreen content.

What was bump.me? Photo sharing is why Instagram, Facebook and Whatsapp is insanely popular. Sharing photos is just difficult. I've had to resort in the past of putting a small web server on the phone, just to get files off it via WI

I abandoned bluetooth early on, because I kept having issues. Stubborn pairing is still a pain. For music, I bought a DLNA renderer (more like a Chromecast), and just assumed that lots of software could remotely talk to it. But about the

Aha, that's why I never spotted it. What have I missed!?

Never seen the option in compose for a fleet? How do you do one?

So does this still use Presto, and is there any forward movement on it?

Crashed it, before even getting going with it on the content blocking prefs. Otter 1.0.02 on Manjaro. qt.qpa.xcb: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 580, resource id: 8418551, major code: 40 (TranslateCoords), minor code: 0

Logo could do with a makeover. Possibility of a really nice cute graphic. Firefox seem to have repeatedly missed that opportunity. And the O is a bit reminiscent of Opera. ( I read it hopes to ape some of the better bits of Opera's p

Yeah, I thought canned beans would be cooked and fine. But I guess one bad one can get through.

Oh man I got poisoned by some bought canned kidney beans used in a salad, and it wasn't pretty.

I went through a raw food phase, and there was something distinctly satisfying about bean sprouts. And crunchy salads. Cooked food seemed so dull by comparison. The jar method is good, I had one with some plastic mesh that I'd leave

I tried win 10 recently on older hardware with 2gb ram. Long story short: totally unusable. Turned on Win 8.1 on machine with 2gb ram. That was pretty usable and almost pleasant by comparison. I used to think that distro was a stinky tur

Oh come, Linux's UI is completely inconsistent, between toolkits, desktops, distros and the like.

It doesn't always work. I have two machines, one that has issues with a north bridge, which initially prevented shutdown and prohibits, suspend and hibernate. And another where the Bluetooth dies until reboot on an Intel wireless car

I get this. I have a low spec phone by today's standards, and it has android 10, it is pretty useless practically. It is pretty much stock. And I would gladly go back some versions for speed hikes.

There are shells that help with discovery. And auto completion helpers. These are great. You might infer from documentation. There was a big thing about spacial awareness years back, my brain works well like that, familiar brain paths f

I know this is vaguely off topic. But main point was that boot up times aren't bothersome for stable systems with long uptime. When boot loops feel almost mandatory to get anywhere, with pretty much a virgin OS, and it takes days to

So many versions. I just remember wrestling with floppies getting dial up networking on a wIn 95 laptop.

We ran a small drop in cafe and we're excited to run win 2k and xp on something like 600mhz Pentiums. Someone donated an old pc. We turned it on and it had win 3.1 on and it booted in a blip. We looked at each other in amazement. It&

I have a friend that has run blackbox style desktop for an age. He still prefers it over native win 10.

But it does play a part if you are forced through lengthy updates and reboots. I was stuck on a 1.3mbits/s link and waited a day for a dist update that never happened. I walked away from Windows then, and came back 6 years later. Win 1
