Walt https://walt.is/ is building exactly that in Europe. They claim first tap to pay will happen later this year. Some European banks including mine offer NFC payments via their a…

It does and it's unfortunate. Perhaps Codeberg might try to block AI crawlers access to the entire website. I know it's all jazz nowadays, but I'm not in favor of using other's peo…

I've actually been thinking it'd be nice to have something like GitHub, but only for hand-written code. If anything, for now I'd like to learn primarily from and perhaps contribute…

From System76 website: > Our lightest ultraportable, the Lemur Pro, now comes in a 14" and a brand new 16" option with 2K display, weighing just 2.2 lbs and 2.96 lbs. Enjoy multi-d…

That's what I'd probably do, but I'm a software engineer and devops person that also likes to tinker, so I like to have a lot of packages available. Fedora with its 80k packages (~…

I've been CatchyOS curious, but AUR is exactly what's been keeping me using Fedora. I hope official, veted Arch repositories grow over time.

Zig by Example seems to target Zig 0.14 at the moment. The links I posted should hopefully target version 0.15+

Simplicity is one thing Zig excels at (at least from my early observations).

I just looked this up yesterday so sharing some more up-to-date resources for those interested in Zig: - Learning Zig by Karl Seguin: https://www.openmymind.net/learning_zig/ - htt…

The thing with VC-founded projects is that there's some kind of rug-pull, ads, privacy violation or "feature enhancing" subscription likely coming and as users we should know. I do…

The problem with VC-founded projects is that there's some kind of rug-pull, ads, privacy violation (e.g. using repos to train AI) or "feature enhancing" subscription likely coming.…

I don't say you specifically have bad intentions or that VC money is all evil. But now you need to grow fast, which greatly increases the risk for me as your potential user, so you…

Tangled is VC sponsored. It doesn't scream stability to me, but rather "we need to grow at all cost". I don't see the appeal. Even though it's federated, when development stops, wh…

Campaigns like this need more info. This page doesn't answer any basic questions. How much money do you currently get? How much money do you need and how will you use it? Does it e…

My favorite reads of the year: - Futu.re by Dmitry Glukhovsky (author of Metro 2033 series). Interesting take of how life would look like if humans became immortal. - Blackout by M…

Thanks for sharing! I've found your perspective interesting. I mostly listen to audio dramas, which are linear so I indeed didn't think about non-linear listening. I agree that add…

> I’m likely further hamstrung by the fact my content is high-brow & long-form, which comes at a disadvantage in the contemporary media landscape. I think it comes at an advantage …

Genuine question: what's harming your experience in current podcasting apps? I've been using AntennaPod for a while and used a few different ones in the past. They all seemed to wo…

I really like it. It makes being a more conscious customer easier and you can make your own trade-offs by looking at a product and price. Hopefully online stores will add ability t…

Only one was obvious in the hindsight: management stopped caring and sometimes attending product demos, but really cared about India's part in the deliveries (justified as we want …

I've experienced a company not only treating its employees as numbers in a sheet, but also actively lying to them. I was part of a well performing team in a corporation in the US. …

CalyxOS is the alternative to Graphene mentioned above. CalyxOS has a bit different goals - it cares about privacy more than security and complete removes Google services instead o…

The way I see it, is that being able to demonstrate specialist-level skills in something is a good signal no matter the problem you need to solve. It means you can learn. As a spec…

Moka pot is such a wonderful little invention! If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend giving it a shot (pun intended). It produces great tasting espresso (the flavor is ju…
