Gratz on shipping! I've been eyeing Canine for my next Hetzner setup, but the database support on Mist is a nice feature. Looks like I have some experiments to run soon.

I believe Minuum is the only app I ever paid for on the Play Store, after having followed it since the Kickstarter campaign. It was the only option that made typing on a small touchscreen feel mostly frictionless for me, contrary to the var

For the past decade or so my bookmark has been set to /feed/subscriptions and I can only recommend that. The one or two times a year I end up on the front page act as proof it should remain that way.

> If you don't enjoy composing music, just don't do it This supposes that the music is the end goal, and the very point of my comment is that it doesn't always have to be, and in those cases "just don't do it&quo

The difference between today and the hypothetical case of not one artist making ends meet from their music is what, 0.1%? 0.01%? We would be better off if the other 99.9% didn't have worry about making ends meet, than if we do whatever

If you're trying to maximize employment, composers aren't the first, second, or tenth place to go looking. If you're trying to say artists will bleed income, they already have for decades, and will continue to. The ones that

Not everyone enjoys composing music, and for a large group of people paying an artist is not an option. There's a lot to critizise about current AI tech, saying of all things this has no net benefit seems like the wrong thing to call o

Are there any must-know options for receiving grants?

by nullpilot 2y ago
Yup. Everything left and right of being an email inbox is a bit iffy, and that makes it feel a bit incomplete at times. Like I said, I like it a lot, and it provides a lot of value for the price I pay for it, but I wouldn't mind an opt

Yeah, you're right. Just a hosted inbox alone would be hard to differentiate in the market and I have no answer for that. For hosted email with auxiliary services there is room to carve out a market. At least that's where I see so

I think there could be, sort of. I am currently using Migadu, which works great and I don't plan on leaving. Their selling point is that the amount of domains you add is not limited. It's affordable and reasonable, and a great opt

This about sums it up. Plus donating to Mozilla means your money goes to all sorts of things, but hardly if at all where you want it to.

I think the main conversation to be had is about incentives. As operators of app stores, Google and Apple have no incentive to remove shovelware, as they earn a healthy share of every buck made by their creators, at almost no cost. Similarl

Duckduckgo for navigating around the web (bangs, searching docs, etc.) i.e. I know where I want to end up. Kagi for the rest. Google pretty much only for image search and maps, and even those have better alternatives now.

The only times I clicked on the picture in picture button in the browser is when I mistook it for the full screen button. I have no idea what I might want to use it for.

No doubt that my limited understanding of these technologies came with some naive expectations of what's possible and how it should work. Looking into it, and working through it, part of my experience was a lack of resources at the lev

My experience that played out over the last few weeks lead me to a similar belief, somewhat. For rather uninteresting reasons I decided I wanted to create mp4 videos of an animation programmatically. The first solution suggested when googli

For a second I thought this was about a GPT based product hitting a certain valuation, but I'm much more entertained by the actual content. This is great.

I happen to be using this (present by default on Ubuntu 18 iirc). I'm surprised this makes me a bit of an outlier judging by the comments. EurKEY on a Dell XPS, with the Home/PgUP and End/PgDn flipped to get start/end of

Very cool! And no problem at all, glad I could get you to experiment.

Thanks! In a way it's a mix of generative and manual art, I guess. It starts with gradients or noise. Afterwards it's layers upon layers of color mapping, filters, distortion, more noise, more gradients, etc. - Basically creating

The stock market in the X3 game works similarly I think, by moving the prices of the available assets within a given price range, making it very easy to abuse and grow your ingame wealth.

First of all, congrats for shipping! I am fully on board with the idea that mobile keyboards need some rethinking and hope to see more to happen in that space. I don't use my phone's default keyboard, but have been locked into a d
