Viewing profile — cimm

I like the idea, but I wonder how this works in practice. If I grant ACME Inc. access to my “profile picture,” for example, won't they just copy the file and store it on their own …

Another vote for the Pocketbook (~€100 on online stores in Europe). As the parent above, I never connected it to the internet, not once. I use a USB cable to add new books. The Poc…

How should one take a turn in a swimming pool with this?

This year, I discovered "The Invincible" by Stanisław Lem (after seeing a video of the game based on the novel).

I got myself a https://paperd.ink : a 4.2″ screen with battery in a printed case for $90. I wrote a small calendar application for it to replace the paper calendar at home: https:/…

I recently got into Morse and was so proud I could send a message via your tool. Thanks!

I tried Acrobits Softphone today and it works! Thanks for the help!

Thanks. Linephone does support push notifications, problem is I don't have a way to tell Twilio to send push notifications since it's not "their" mobile client. Any idea if you can…

As am Twilio as the backend with Linphone as softphone client to get started. Easy enough to set up and seems to work fine. Only problem is the lack of push notifications on iOS, i…

I simply stopped reading HTML emails and read everything in plain text. Works fine for most of the emails I receive, the ones that don't are almost always marketing emails anyway. …

I am a freelance developer and added footnote to my invoices explaining I donate 1% of the amount to an open-source project used for the assignment. I ask them to propose the proje…

I use an ad blocker because I hate the idea being tracked. Hiding ads is simply a plus. I like the idea behind Webpass but they do nothing to prevent the tracking part of the whole…

What about a Jabber client? ChatSecure and Monal are both excellent Jabber iOS clients that support encryption with Adium on the desktop? You can run you own Jabber server (ejabber…
