They need to find a way reinvent "channel surfing". Discovery via "flipping" has lead me to watch things I'd otherwise never would click in an app interface. I've always been surpr…

Super smooth on desktop, but a horrible experience on my handheld device. I've never had a good mobile experience on any scrolljacking site, even the ones done by Apple or Google.

Noted and appreciated. But the fact still stands that that all-cause mortality was up about 40% at the time this was recorded. (See: https://www.usmortality.com/excess-percent ) Re…

And you're engaging in some kind of ad-hominem fallacy -- refute the claims with facts, don't attack the messengers

I've gotten around this by disabling cookies and javascript on a per site basis. These sites require blocking both javascript and cookies: NYT, Washington Post, MIT Technology Revi…

Do you assume all HN users would reach the paywalls' read-limits through organic everyday use? I felt forced to disable cookies and javascript on the following sites just after exc…

Chromium is the only app I compile that still uses Python 2, but I do know Google utilize's it in many repos. I'd love to read anything that would cover how they're planning to han…

I'm always left perplexed when projects like these don't make F-Droid distribution a priority over the Play store. Regardless, I'll check it out if it ever finds its way to F-Droid…

Blocking cookies from the paywall content providers' domain is alternative approach that doesn't require an extension. I've done this successfully for medium.com and nytimes.com. I…

As a catch-all you could start regexing messages' content and deny the abuser if one of their common patterns matched -- you'll still be in a never-ending game of cat and mouse. Th…

+1, very much looking forward to that Show HN.

Directus is always at the top of self-hosted CMS lists, but one of the reasons I avoid it and other PHP self-hosted headless CMS solutions is due to the difficulties(tech debt) of …

It'd be rather refreshing if one of the headless CMS PaaS solutions could follow an open model similar to WordPress/Gitlab

I've been using an X1 Gen 4 w Arch as my daily driver for the past 2 years. It's an extremely reliable machine minus a few annoying KMS/Xorg issues I've encountered -- to be fair t…

Download each tab to preserve contents and enable offline access. Your local directory's `file:///` URI can be used as an index view to avoid the need for a file manager

I wish someone would file suit against both the DNC and RNC for conspiring against the American public and third-party/independent candidates

What's unfortunate about Directus and Cockpit, is they still have a hard dependency on a PHP. If I'm going headless, the last thing I want to do is setup a PHP stack.

Wasn't aware! I use it mainly as a "reader" and usually only comment on desktop. Nice to know though, thanks for pointing that out!

Materialistic, it's available on both F-Droid, https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.hidroh.materialistic/ , and the Play Store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.g…

Ideological reasons. I'm no Richard Stallman, but try to exclusively use FOSS software. I have made concessions for requirements at work (G Suite, Slack, Ngrok for conference calls…

I must have overlooked this when I unhappily settled for ngrok -- thank you for sharing a FOSS alternative.

In NYC and I've always just brought along my Linux laptop - no one's ever told me it's not allowed. Disclaimer: I use Linux because of the philosophy, hate mega-corps and will turn…

Thanks, had no idea! Instead I was wondering why HN Special broke for the second time in the past few months without the extension getting an upgrade.

Any particular reason this isn't FOSS? Seems like a nice alternative to Bartender, but making it "free as in speech" rather than "free as in beer" would make this much more attract…
