On my Paperwhite from 2018, the battery life is better on KOReader than on Amazon’s firmware.

I use it on my Kindle and I love it. I can use better and more dictionaries, the controls are ergonomic and customizable, I can easily override the font so that every ebook looks e…

Ecosia is a non-profit, so being profitable is not their mission. Each month they publish a breakdown of their expenses and donations. In January they got around 4 million euros, s…

As a stylistic note, it’s funny that philosophy graduates often can’t help but mention that they are one at every opportunity they have, as if that carried a particular a certain i…

Sometimes the writing itself is a guide for the mind of the reader, and the indirect path prose can take is part of the message. Not everything has to be written in digestible snip…

While you're definitely right about it having a steep learning curve, it's also true that not many RAW editors do what Darktable does. Darktable aims at serving advanced, tecnicall…

Still happens to me when using software that is GPU intensive, like Blender. When I drag a slider, I hear the buzzing of the GPU.

They’ve been there for a long while, I don’t think they’re new.

After being a user for a long while, my enthusiasm for Kagi has decreased. Their UI is lovely, but I feel in the end they are just repackaging other indexers. I’ve started using Go…

There is a certain justice in the use of OpenAI as a name for their product, given that OpenAI has turned the generic technical GPT name into a brand.

Thank you for your work. While looking for references of past artifacts, this website has been so valuable.

Sorry, but I don’t think families who escaped in those times were exactly just innocent property owners.

I wish this worked on Windows too. In general, I'd love to see all those lovely GTK4 apps on Windows, they look so nice.

The two best SDF modelers in existence are MagicaCSG[1] and Adobe Substance Modeler[2]. There are also a few others, like Womp, but those two are the most feature-complete. Blender…

I do not understand how a browser can launch in 2024 without caring for privacy. Arc is probably the worst browser ever in this regard, making it mandatory to have an account.

Their interface on top of Chromium is written in Swift, so they're bundling all the stuff that is necessary to make Swift run on Windows, top of of Chromium.

And the fact that humans have feelings does not mean we can’t use them as slaves when needed. See? Ethics are like that: there must be something we give value too, if we want to st…

And RPGs, which have probably gifted some of the best written games ever (Planescape Torment, Fallout 1-2, Disco Elysium).

Some video games have shown you can have incredible writing and narrative in the format (recent ones that stuck with me: Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds). The vast majority of video …

But BlueGriffon is discontinued. Today, nothing that is actively maintained fulfills this purpose, except from SeaMonkey Composer. I wish there was a WYSIWYG editor that has CSS su…

Obviously, this is about creating the infrastructure for a continent-wide surveillance program, using children pornography as a troy horse. The problem is that EU institutions are …

I’d love to see more about the artworks the author shares at the end. The idea of creating renders of realities where light works differently from ours is fascinating.
