Is there a path forward to writing a guide for how users can contribute back to OSM if they wish? A "thank you for your contribution, if you wish to learn more about OSM and how ou…

It does match statcounter if you filter for North America.

> Orion uses WebKit and _I assume_ they try to track as close to the release branch as possible. So if you trust WebKit, you can trust Orion. The problem is you're stuck at assumin…

> But I'm glad he stayed honest to himself instead and didn't have a PR team ghostwrite his thoughts. If there's one thing I learned in this debacle is "I should spend 1-2 days and…

This sidesteps xochitl and the normal remarkable display adapter. You should assume this thing can't render anything a remarkable normally renders, but does smooth fades instead.

I saw 2-3 flavors of this news. None of them include a basic “how do I check if I need to do anything” guide that a linux newbie can do.

> I really want to find reasons to like this But why? Why would I want to like a project which seems to invent problems rather than solve any? I don’t want to like this.

No, water filtration sounds like the first part the device will cheap out on to cut costs.

Massive Theranos vibes. You don't market medical imagery to the regular public and build a random wellness spa and talk about "shallow pools of golden light" if it actually works w…

> This is a bash feature, not POSIX. dash (Debian’s /bin/sh) and zsh don’t have it, so a #!/bin/sh script can’t use it. Call bash directly. This is why we can’t have nice things. T…

I’m fairly certain if you give any substitution cypher to an LLM it will decipher the message. And that’s all I see here, a substitution cypher in a private area of unicode. At bes…

It's impossible to say. But as a reminder from Cory's first talk on enshittification... When Google and Facebook were small, they would argue for open protocols and competition. Fa…

That's like saying users have no right to push against certain features. It's like saying Windows Recall was always ok and there was never any reason to demand it not be installed.…

You use eID when explicitly interacting with a govt entity or bank or otherwise similar institution because you have to and want to prove who you are. Yes, I do want to prove who I…

I just grabbed one of the examples there which was readable and didn't require the reader to know all the extra flags passed. One that would illustrate the purpose of the website. …

Cool, so it is what I imagined, thanks!

I am confused. Is this saying that if you don't have access to `cat`, instead of `cat /path/to/input-file` you can use `base64 /path/to/input-file | base64 --decode`? Or is it sayi…

Damn, I really wish there was a T in "Quick jazzy vibe flows from exploding pixels", 'cause the sentence is just cool!

Ladybird is many years away from being usable by a casual human. The hope is it turns out to be a great browser eventually.

The first thing I tried to do is resize that rectangle in the default diagram... and the resize handles do not affect the height, only the width. What is this "better" than?

1. The video is amazing. It does deserve a shoutout. 2. I actually prefer when HN links to articles rather than videos. I kind of expect interesting reads, not watches when I open …

If that's so, it's really poorly communicated. I strongly recommend full sentences for that.

> It points out that the compliant subjects who delivered the shocks weren't always following the procedure they were given perfectly. Which is, of course, expected, since people i…

That’s my feeling when reading nixos forums. People are willing to help but don’t realize how little newbies know about nix when asking for help. The first month of nixos was a mas…

Can you share some good examples of how you use nix shells with python for one off scripts? I am still figuring out how python interacts with nixos :(
