Putting my vote in for this feature as well... Also, why not compile VNC into WASM and get full remote desktop experience for graphical apps. It seems that hard work has already be…

My fear is that something similar will slowly happen to everything "compute". How long before my bank's website won't let me login if I don't use a computer with secure boot and a …

Still rocking Dell Precision M4400 from 2009 with Intel Core 2 Duo and NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M. Arch + XFCE + Nvidia drivers from the AUR (not in main repos anymore). On my 5th batte…

Attestation is great for consolidating power and eliminating competition. As far as the cloud goes - you will only be able to use AWS, Google or Azure, because they will have prope…

It will make web scraping impossible. You will not be able to install any software that can do that because it won't be let in to app stores (i.e. it will never get the right keys …

What about `skim` - integrating it as a library? fzf is nice, but it is external - you have to pre-install and configure it.

I disagree with "bloat" comments. First, the binary will only have stuff you use. Secondly, the fact that you are not writing from scratch code that someone else had more time to w…

Awesome alternative. I've been using Shaarli for a very long time. Very stable, always works, everywhere works. Doesn't look fancy, but reliability is off the charts.

Didn't EU freeze all Russian dollar accounts? That basically means Russia never gets those dollar payments. Why would it keep delivering gas for free? Does that "contract" even mea…

They say 2 generations need to pass between large wars reoccurrence on the planet. 1st generation that largely participated in the war will never do it again, whatever the cost. 2n…

Well, it is at the top of Hacker News. If everyone just goes to https://github.com/httpie/httpie and stars it again - we'll fix it in a jiffy!

There is also another differentiator - companies buy insurance for all employees (i.e. in "bulk") when if everyone were to buy it privately, insurance companies will have to sell i…

I think there is a difference between features of the editor and editing method. Following your logic - if there is already Notepad, why create TextPad, Atom, Word, VSCode etc...

A couple of times i found myself clicking on various text labels just to see if it is a title or a button. All these flat minimalist designs are a step in a horribly wrong directio…

I am surprised by this shortcoming of Calibre image. I guess the trade is learning how to install calibre vs. learning how to deal with docker. I'd also agree that even if you use …

To do this right you should also think of backups, updates, and monitoring. Self-hosting is true freedom but doing it right for things like email is akin to running a small busines…
