    I saw this over on lobste.rs and came over here to see if there were any comments, because it looked like a cool project. Alas, it got even less traction here.

    Tree style tabs works as well as it did before, except that it's more difficult to get rid of the top tabs.

    You can probably access CR for free through your local library!

    I looked at a bunch of these 2 years ago and ended up using PhotoView for a private gallery. It had the right mix of simplicity and features, and I was actually able to get it runn…

    With Temporary Tontainers you can just install one of the cookie-ignoring plugins, since cookies don't do much if your containers are ephemeral.

    Temporary Containers is fantastic. Its functionality should really be a core feature of any browser that claims to be concerned with privacy.

    Also the bird is gigantic (relative to the laptop)!

    I'm confused as to how this compares to tools in the workflow manager space such as Airflow/Perfect/Dragster. The words describing the software are almost the same but it seems to …

    This is good as far as it goes--I think better information can help consumers at the margins. But it's hard to imagine this will do much to actual induce competition in markets whe…

    Congrats on the launch, guys! Hamilton was the first MLOps library that really seemed to fit the challenges we face, because it offered a more granular way to structure our code. R…

    Alas, Foobar2000 has started crashing regularly on me after a few seconds with Wine version 7.19+: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53818

    Sorry, my comment was a bit misleading: as the other commenter noted, they are doing testing in rivers, etc. When animals defecate/urinate onto the ground, some of it eventually ge…

    Wastewater surveillance is a pretty crazy technology. My neighbor works on projects using it for wildlife tracking, and they can get startling amounts of information about what is …

    This is far more impressive than the almost-blank screen on Firefox Mobile led me to expect. It looks like it's mostly engineered this for personal use, but as somebody currently u…

    Anyone's ability to broadcast on Twitter is only as far as the system dynamics of Twitter and its users allows them. Retweeting is not some pure expression of speech that needs to …

    This is very interesting! For some reason the name and crown logo rub me a bit the wrong way, but I love the way they dissect and categorize different models. Edit: just to add som…

    Looks nice! Do all of these shell history replacements completely override native history functionality or just add on to it? (and if I delete something using `hishtory redact` doe…

    Does anyone know of any DOT -> mermaidjs format converters? I was looking for one recently and was surprised not to find anything more robust than someone's quick search and replac…

    I triggered some Discord flag where now they require me to give them my phone number to log in via the web. I won't give it to them. Luckily I have a still-logged-in instance on my…

    The HOA comparison doesn't make much sense here. Unions give people a democratic way to exercise power against an existing powerful organization (corporations), in what would other…

    Asking for help by submitting your data, instead of contributing or actually having any deliberate influence over the project, is a bit on the nose for a desktop environment so fam…

    This looks great! I'm curious though if there are ways to get a bit more control over page layout. For example, can you put three charts on one page and have them resize appropriat…

    I tried the KDE spin of Fedora recently but it was just too buggy: - Right click menus didn't open in the right place when using a second monitor - Basic applications like terminal…

    This looks pretty cool, is there a way to do column layout (or any kind of positioning) when making a PDF, or is it just flowing the notebook html?
