    Indeed. QNX is the coolest OS I ever seen and Photon felt the coolest desktop environment. Although I like XFCE in the Linux context (more than e.g. GNOME), I am sad to see it repl…

    I don't believe children need to be guarded from porn and can be seriously harmed by it but if we assume they do - why not just disallow children to use devices and apps made for a…

    EU is just rushing into bullshit dystopia scifi with its useless and harmful anonymization and chat control ideas. These just ought to fail and be rolled back. Imagining these succ…

    The grammar is our enemy here. Blocking a website may be Okay. Blocking a person willing to access it is not.

    I consider banning it uncharacteristic to such. I can hardly consider a state where people are not allowed to access Reddit (as well as HN, Wikipedia or StackExchange) freely and a…

    Blocking Signal or Reddit sounds bizarre for a civilized democratic country. What sense can that make other than denying people the right for privacy of personal communications or …

    What we need is stop fighting robots and start welcoming and helping them. I se zero reasons to oppose robots visiting any website I would build. The only purpose I ever tried disa…

    It's time to stop blocking crawlers and using captchas and start building web sites that are intentionally AI-friendly by design. Even before the modern LLMs, anti-scraper measures…

    In the EU I've never heard of a single union other than itself. Every time I see the word "union" it's about the US. This doesn't mean they don't exists in the EU, in fact it some …
