I love this feature in Gnome and use it all the time, I actually miss this feature when I use macOS, would love to be able to hold command and drag a window without needing to sele…

Looks interesting, but there doesn’t seem to be any licence on this project, and it is not clear if the source is available via the repo linked from website. Anyone know if this is…

The amount of entitlement ringing through the comments on the issue is crazy. It really makes me frustrated to see as it just adds fire to putting companies off the idea of develop…

Why do you hate snaps?

This is great to see, well done ProtonMail. I asked Fastmail if they would open source their email app on Android but was told no. > the probability of the app to be opensourced is…

No mention of Linux I see, guess market too small to care. Seems to align with the recent decision to weaken the supported filesystem sync options on Linux as well. No real loss, a…

I am pro net neutrality, and would like to see a completely decentralised internet. It is not nitpicking to question the integrity and veracity of the messenger.

To be clear I am not saying they’re wrong. It’s like being told to recycle everything in a magazine that is full of adverts funded by the toxic waste industry. Yes, I agree with re…

I just loaded this article on my mobile device. An ad on the website triggered with auto playing audio that stopped background media playback of my device. I class these type of ad…

Yes, that is sort of the point of the EU. Whatever I wanted though, the vote has already happened, and the leavers won. We'll all be seeing what happens to the UK as a result.

The EU is far from perfect, but the UK government has proven time and time again it requires oversight. The UK governments stance on e.g. encryption is nothing short of an internat…

There was (or is) one called Mycroft which had promised big things but didn't deliver a compelling recognition and synthesis, although the recognition seems better than synthesis f…

Almost ironic really, since git was created for development of the [Linux Kernel]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git ).

Tl/dr Hacker News, Podcasts, RSS, YouTube and Reddit. Perhaps because I've been on internet since early days I still use RSS (self-hosted Stringer + Unread app). I keep RSS feeds a…

For me, browser integration is an anti-feature for password managers.

I'm hoping this puts a dampener or even better kills the May-driven Conservative manifesto pledge to "create a new internet".

I am a British citizen. There will not be any significant public opposition to this, a few articles in The Guardian and a small mention on the news between Trump stories. I have on…

I've built up quite a digital collection on iTunes, all purchased more than 4 years ago when I realised my investment in content was completely locked to the iTunes platform, with …

I use MySQL Workbench if I need a GUI, works well and is actually more powerful than Sequel Pro, however the UI is nowhere near as pretty. Still, it is an adequate replacement reco…

Apparently Infinality has been abandoned, and can cause problems, so might want to be careful installing it. I recently had an issue where I could not log into Gnome, I took it as …

Much like the hideous legislation passed in the UK, at this point I just think bring it. The more governments overtly undertake efforts to wrestle control of the internet, sanitise…

> It will allow the Federal Intelligence Service and other agencies to put suspects under electronic surveillance if authorised by a court, the defence ministry and the cabinet. I …

I have respect for BSD and am very thankful that there is more than just Linux (my preferred OS). One thing that I've noticed is that, warranted or not, a lot of BSD users seem to …
