Thanks for newsminimalist - other than what comes up on HN it's the only news I read these days. It's usually just enough to keep me in touch without any of the outrage.

That's a false equivalence which is at the heart of the issue. You seem to be be assuming that "being informed" makes you better placed and/or more willing to take right action, bu…

Yes but unfortunately that doesn't make it false.

> too young to lie or corrupt In my experience, youth has little to do with honesty or corruptibility.

It's the circle of life

> I wish to see a FOSS incremental reading application in the very least, such an underrated concept. There's an Anki plugin[0] though I know almost nothing about Anki or increment…

I recently ditched Spotify for Qobuz. Spotify has always been a bit of a letdown, even though I've been using it since Rdio went bust (so ~10yrs). The thing that finally pushed me …

This looks cool, but I'm not 100% sure what it does. Is the "music server" part just a backend for the web UI, or does it serve via other protocols like DLNA?

> What do you think happens once a company knows you are looking for a job and then you don’t get the new job? Maybe it depends how useful you are. IME, they're grateful to have yo…

It's a job; not a cult. People come and go. If I were working somewhere that made me feel like I couldn't leave without being super secretive about it, that would be a huge red fla…

The big thing that got me to move off passwordstore to BW (and self-hosted vaultwarden) was sharing passwords with family. The app and browser extensions are nicer, too.

> No one is going to let you talk to your current manager and let them know you are looking for a job. What on earth do you mean? Who is going to stop me from talking to my manager…

It's not at all false IME, though I'm not in SV or the US. Most job want up-front references from at least 2 people, one of whom must be your current supervisor/boss (or someone el…

The question to ask yourself then is: why is it that the behaviour that brings you pleasure/meaning/satisfaction happens to align exactly with what the company wants? I spent most …

This is a good point. I have a backup strategy that includes cloud and offline HDDs, but at some point, when I'm not around to keep it all running, it'll probably just be family ge…

I thought that was a strange approach, too - I'd have thought it'd be far quicker to cull post-scanning. Plus, then you have the whole catalog digitized in case someone else wants …

I take a ton of photos. I cull probably 80%. The remaining ones are all pretty good/interesting/meaningful. I end up with maybe 1000 for a year, then pick maybe 100 of those to mak…

The best solution I've come up with is jpgs in a yyyy/mm folder structure + EXIF metadata. I know it's not your ideal, but it'll be supported and platform agnostic for the forseeab…

That's like asking "is there a building industry" just because every industry uses buildings. Every (well, most) industries use software; but the production of that software is its…

> I'm curious why you are confident they would be more intelligent than a modern toddler? Because we have intellectual artefacts from that time that show us. Artefacts that underla…

I think you're under-selling your point. Forget highschool students - some of the greatest thinkers in human history lived 2000+ years ago.

I used to work somewhere that had a similar licensing model. I believe it was perpetual access to all updates (minor or major) released within 12mths of purchase, along with free s…

Look, I love FWWM, but that's a brutal way to start. Firstly, it works a lot better if you know TP. Secondly... it's a brutal film. I've seen it a bunch of times and still find som…

It also happens to be just a beautiful film.

There are a bunch of hifi brands that are making great products but don't have great name branding: SMSL, Topping, WiiM, Fosi (I own 3 of those 4, lol). The upside is that they mos…
