They need to find a way reinvent "channel surfing". Discovery via "flipping" has lead me to watch things I'd otherwise never would click in an app interface. I've always been surprised that Netflix, and other s

Super smooth on desktop, but a horrible experience on my handheld device. I've never had a good mobile experience on any scrolljacking site, even the ones done by Apple or Google.

Noted and appreciated. But the fact still stands that that all-cause mortality was up about 40% at the time this was recorded. (See: https://www.usmortality.com/excess-percent ) Regardless of whether it's from second-or

I've gotten around this by disabling cookies and javascript on a per site basis. These sites require blocking both javascript and cookies: NYT, Washington Post, MIT Technology Review, Wired, National Geographic and LA Times These site

Do you assume all HN users would reach the paywalls' read-limits through organic everyday use? I felt forced to disable cookies and javascript on the following sites just after exclusively clicking on links submitted to HN: NYT, Medium

I'm always left perplexed when projects like these don't make F-Droid distribution a priority over the Play store. Regardless, I'll check it out if it ever finds its way to F-Droid.

Blocking cookies from the paywall content providers' domain is alternative approach that doesn't require an extension. I've done this successfully for medium.com and nytimes.com. If those content providers' start being

As a catch-all you could start regexing messages' content and deny the abuser if one of their common patterns matched -- you'll still be in a never-ending game of cat and mouse. There's also the possibility of false positives

Directus is always at the top of self-hosted CMS lists, but one of the reasons I avoid it and other PHP self-hosted headless CMS solutions is due to the difficulties(tech debt) of automating dev environments and CI/CD pipelines across

It'd be rather refreshing if one of the headless CMS PaaS solutions could follow an open model similar to WordPress/Gitlab

I've been using an X1 Gen 4 w Arch as my daily driver for the past 2 years. It's an extremely reliable machine minus a few annoying KMS/Xorg issues I've encountered -- to be fair though they weren't really "is

What's unfortunate about Directus and Cockpit, is they still have a hard dependency on a PHP. If I'm going headless, the last thing I want to do is setup a PHP stack.

Wasn't aware! I use it mainly as a "reader" and usually only comment on desktop. Nice to know though, thanks for pointing that out!

I must have overlooked this when I unhappily settled for ngrok -- thank you for sharing a FOSS alternative.

Thanks, had no idea! Instead I was wondering why HN Special broke for the second time in the past few months without the extension getting an upgrade.

Any particular reason this isn't FOSS? Seems like a nice alternative to Bartender, but making it "free as in speech" rather than "free as in beer" would make this much more attractive.

Yes - and while I'm no Richard Stallman - I try to only use FOSS software but have made concessions for requirements at work (G Suite, Slack, etc). Would have been an instant install otherwise.

I wish SaaS companies (not just DatoCMS) would learn that developers will not adopt their products if they don't have source access. This product could have easily been FOSS with it's pricing model based exclusively on support&#x2

Personally I hope that crew is joining the "anything but proprietary" group. Sorry, I'm sure you were fishing for a more pro-MS response.
