CRA has been a maintenance burden for my team for the last couple of years due to security vulnerabilities and incompatibilities in old packages. We have several React apps (create…

Are these types of repos trust worthy, or is it best to download straight from Signal’s site? Similarly, I noticed Signal is on Flathub [1] for installing via Flatpak, but the deve…

I struggle with reading speed, and concentration in general when reading. No idea why. However, I love listening to podcasts, audiobooks, videos etc. at 3x speed. Using text to spe…
