It's always interesting to stumble upon a bubble you never heard of. This is super interesting. I will probably (hopefully?) never need to use it, but interesting nonetheless. It a…

The political aspect might be a big part of why and how the systems are chosen. Didn't know about that!

Native German speaker here. It fits very well here, too

I'm honestly surprised Hepburn wasn't the official standard yet. It sounds way closer to the spoken sounds, at least to my western ears. > The council’s recommendation also adopts …

I moved away from tinkering, ever since I had to juggle family, job, chores, and social contacts. I don't want to spend the little free time I have fixing broken configs. Instead o…

I tried an ergonomic keyboard with just 3x10 keys (or rather since it was a split keybaord, 2x3x5). I found that I am unwilling to spend the time to learn how to use it, type speci…

I'd say it still is. I wouldn't even know how to begin if I were to write one.

This whole article is a single big "but what about X?" argument. The main concern stays, even if it's just a tiny bit of your genome, even if web-fingerprinting is also bad, the se…

Looks great! Useful for privacy but also to keep work and private life separated. Will be on the lookout for other OS versions!

Slightly related: I'm currently reading manga on a normal Android tablet using Mihon. I'd love to read on an eInk display, but I'd rather manage my library on device instead of hav…

The one thing that bothers me about Lidarr is that it is album based, not song based. Before streaming services, I managed my local music library with albums as well, but my habits…

All those different subgenres are quite daunting as a newcomer. I've listened to songs labelled as “Psytrance” by Spotify, though I couldn't pinpoint the subgenre after listening t…

My thought as well. I'd suspect Valve's work with SteamOS and Proton has a noticable effect on Linux adoption rates

As a parent working a full time job - I can finally play games again. As weird as it sounds, there was always a pychological hurdle to go and sit at my desk, boot my pc, select a g…

I wanted to give OsmAnd a try, to replace my dependency on Google services. I could not for the life of me find a setting to correclty transliterate Japanese names to my native lan…
