I have an even more radical solution. The real root of the problem is that we use this "money" concept to represent value. If money didn't exist there wouldn't be any reason to ste…

Spectacle pops up as the first result in KDE's app launcher when I start typing "snipping tool." Props to whomever decided to add that alias. Zero props to whomever decided that pu…

There's a very simple solution to keeping podcasts free and open: don't buy paywalled content, and don't listen to shows that are "only available on [proprietary app x]!" I'm going…

I'm not convinced that tightening up web development practices is what's going to solve climate change, but: > When you push the CPU processing of the UX from the mobile device bac…

On all the pumps near me, the second from the top on the right side mutes the video. Some gas station attendants or kind customers thought to write "Mute" on the button in sharpie,…

Some podcasts I've listened to recently have had local ads injected into them at the start/end. I can tell it's happening because it takes a few seconds for a download to progress …

Ah, I probably should've mentioned that the DigitalOcean article I linked shows how to install/configure a synapse binary with apt-get.

The other comments already gave you some great info, but I'll just link some good documentation for anyone looking to get started. I discovered Matrix the other day and decided to …

They'd just start tracking that info on the server side (while still requiring opt-out per-device), and then we'd have to make the extension copy your session cookie between opted-…

The links I've tried have required I perform additional actions. LinkedIn was particularly bad, requiring dozens of clicks to turn off all tracking.

I don't disagree that it's moving fast, but my experience is that the thriving ecosystem makes JS apps nice to work on. Every project has its own little tech stack, each part being…

Google can't know in advance what the Chinese authorities are going to consider a "problematic" search.

What are some potential solutions here? Some form of intervention by the US government? I think many of us will agree that the sort of behavior these employees are speaking out aga…

Dumb little thing I made after work. Thought some of you might appreciate it. I think the checkboxes are broken on iPhones, sorry.

I can also recommend the Sony WH-1000XM line. I have the XM2, though the model 3 is out now. Some of the only headphones out there that beat Bose in active noise-cancelling. The so…

They definitely changed something about how WiFi calling works, because with this update my carrier was finally able to support WiFi calling on iOS for the first time. For some rea…

Do you know whether Google Play Music's upload feature works in the same way?
