Besides Tex there is also git. Written only as a SCM for the linux kernel it went on to be used basically anywhere.

Yes, that's terrible. The finished text was not corrected in that time, was it?

Actually the trapped without internet thing makes me think. Why not do some sort of dead-man-switch? I.e. when you haven't committed (or been online) in X months the project is tra…

Not easy to set up. But perhaps easy to maintain

Your edit to google maps is a competitive advantage. Your edit to OSM is a public utility.

No and that is IMO the point of using OSM in the first place. The data is public and free for everyone and if you contribute there's the possibility of other services adopting your…

Cool. I suspect this model will mostly work, but only if the price of the app is low enough to not justify a lot of inconvenience by compiling it yourself or maybe getting it from …

apparently co2's density is only slightly higher than the other gases, so they all mix. Otherwise all of the atmosphere's co2 would be at ground level too, wouldn't it?

Don't swift and rust share a few of these things that make it "feel right"? With rust the whole ecosystem thing seems to be a lot better. Also rust has C(++) interop (so you have e…

I don't know if this is a thing, but chess players might also steer the game in a direction/position which their opponent hasn't studied much, but they have. There's a "social" sid…

It states that amazon deforestation is driven by demand for beef and leather. Presumably leather is easier to transport and hence global leather demand plays a role here? Just a gu…

I find the Markor app (open source) great for editing text files, you can also customize it quite a bit. Then for uploading possibly syncthing would work. (I do this to sync my tex…

You're right. I'm so annoyed by firefox changing its interface every once in a while instead of coming up with a good one that they can actually keep stable for years...

price possibly security free software (if one cares)

many, but not all of them

I believe the option is only shown if you are offline, so you need to disconnect from the internet.

Yes. It seems a more powerful cpu was the most requested improvement to the original Pinephone. I'm glad they listened.

I mean, couldn't you dual-boot android on this thing? Or is the SoC not supported?
