fair. I use the webapp on desktop

Almost every email is going to or coming from US servers anyway. Better to treat email as insecure and use something else for more secure communication.

For me it was search. The proton apps are the only way to access email on mobile, and on them and on their webapp the search barely functioned, even with full text search downloade…

I don’t think that’s really true of driving, pedestrians and cyclists are at a much higher risk of getting killed by a driver than a driver themself. There are huge negative extern…

I love fastmail, I switched from Proton a couple years ago after deciding the trade offs to have encrypted email were not worth it, since even if I fully trust Proton, most emails …

I did the same except switched to fastmail. I love it, it’s such a great service.

Sorry, I meant ridership per capita. In Seattle about 15% of people commute via transit (and I believe it’s the fastest increasing in the country), but LA is 6% and flat. Seattle’s…

Interesting! How long ago was that? Seattle has higher transit ridership than both those cities and is rapidly expanding its transit system. I believe we are still leading the pack…

Depends on the city. In LA, yes it’s very hard to live without a car. I live in Seattle and I live car free as well as many of my friends. It’s not that we can’t afford it, we’ve j…

Even if you split up the bundle you will still need multiple round trips to the server to fetch the data.

I mean the state from the client, like cookies and URL params. You can get access to that in SSR through the framework specific APIs like getServerSideProps in Next, but it’s not a…

SSR is different and does not provide the same performance of RSCs. With SSR you get the advantage of an initially rendered page, but you don’t have access to data or state. So you…

Without RSC you have to wait for the user to download the application bundle before the request for content can even be sent to the server. So that means that the db queries and st…

Transit lines in many countries do support themselves by increasing productivity and tax revenue near the stations. It is not as direct as in Japan, where the train company itself …

This problem, along with general annoyances at Proton’s lack of focus on a good email experience pushed me over the edge to move to Fastmail. I’m so much happier. Proton Mail Bridg…

How is Skip’s support for building apps with maps or other more complex UIs? Can I build map overlays that work cross platform?

I got a Garmin watch after being frustrated with the tech company watches lasting only hours on a charge. I charge this watch once a week and it does everything I realistically wan…

I work on an open source server project that is deployed in many different contexts and with many different clients and front ends. GraphQL has allowed us to not feel bad about add…

I want to be able to sync Orion with Firefox. I use non Apple operating systems on some computers, and I would love to have Orion sync with Firefox on them.

I have all my self hosted services set up with authentication through SSO now. Does this support that?

I have tried jj several times but I feel like it slows me down significantly because I can’t grok the workflow. I like to do a bunch of changes then quickly select them in my edito…

US is the same. I dialed 911 once as a child from an American phone in Indonesia without a SIM card in it. Freaked out and hung up.

I am involved with the OpenTripPlanner project, which is a Java trip planning application that also uses the RAPTOR algorithm! It’s used in cities all over the world, with the bigg…

I have location shared with a dozen or so of my friends. It has many times been useful to find out that we happen to be near each other and end up hanging out.
