    iirc I can use Firefox's reader mode on websites that if I simply disabled js entirely would refuse to load anything at all. The viewer itself might have minimal or no js but it's …

    The progress each month is so impressive to see, I'm always looking forward to the next blog post from them. > The Gtk port is gone . We’re focusing our efforts on making the Qt po…

    I think it's interesting that most of these were cancelled ages ago. The most recent cancellations seem to be in 2012.

    They're known for asking odd questions like "how did you perform in math in high school" and "please justify your performance in math in high school". It was actually my guess as w…

    This would be really cool. With the process of allowing fediverse logins it would be nice to also be able to use lemmy accounts since right now those don't seem to work. (That migh…

    I can't speak to other fediverse software but I tried a few lemmy servers to no avail. My mastodon instance is under maintenance so I guess I'll have to wait until that's done to s…

    This is similar to my experience doing a research project for a fellowship. I had a barebones LaTeX file but I pushed doing the proper formatting for when I was finished writing an…

    This project and especially one of the closing notes[1] reminds me of a more mature DIY project to make a mesh node using a simple solar lamp[2]. I love the creativity on display h…

    If just using all the same pieces verbatim is a liability then "cobalt vault" would be at risk since after a quick playthrough I haven't run into anything but the original shapes.

    I wasn't aware he was behind the oldest view. That makes me more excited to see this movie because that was really good on what couldn't have been much of a budget to begin with.

    Yeah the appeal to me would be the ability to have my desktop experience spread throughout an established home built in minecraft. I think in reality the added friction in a setup …

    Yep this is how I use HN as well. /new is definitely interesting when I do open it (usually after submitting) but because of the lack of existing discussion I don't usually seek it…

    I think this would be an okay place to ask about the vouching process since it seems like a big part of the /new sifting system. When I'm browsing on /new as well as on /active (wh…
