Yeah no shit. I use Feishin personally: https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin But I think it is very fair to judge the OOTB experience as a whole as a reflection of the company'…

Sorry, but you're wrong. Music-dot-app is a great example. Check out all the ways it tries to upsell you even if you just want to play local files: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v…

My screenshots directory says you are wrong: https://i.ibb.co/cKjL8qcG/Screenshot-2025-02-18-at-09-07-06.... My last (and first, and only) iPhone was even worse. At one point the…

I don't want to use a computer whose greatest aspiration is to be a sales funnel even if I am personally strong-willed enough to say no when nagged.

Dumb comparison, because buying a Framework is a single transaction where I exchange money for a computer, and buying a Mac is an entrypoint to “The Ecosystem” where Apple wants to squeeze me for $<…

I support and encourage the death of “““open source””” so that we may retvrn to Free Software.

You're conflating the two unnecessarily. There's no reason Jekyll's server has to run on the editor's local machine. See my other comment about jekyll-admin which can be used colla…

I am a fan of jekyll-admin: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-admin/ Its project page doesn't seem to have a screenshot of the post/page editor, but its editor is s…

Why would I want my WIP site to be on the public internet? This has been built into Jekyll for years. Probably other SSGs too but I don't know/use them. jekyll serve --watch --incrementa…

Corollary: we should collectively stop referring to WWW clients as “browsers” because the metaphor no longer fits. They are Web Grazers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browsing_%28…

I am eternally annoyed at GNOME Project for, among many many other reasons, forcing the removal of bitmap font support as of Pango 1.44 due to forcing Harfbuzz as the only supported shaping library: -…

Points against: “Two Fields, One Problem” :)

Don't victim-blame.

I don't agree that using the ADA in this way would be abuse.

> At some point, you have to cut off previous technologies because virtually everyone's moved to something better. I don't agree that it's better. Why should I have to worry about my…

Tailscale is probably what you want, but if you care about privacy you'll have to be sure to disable the telemetry/logging/spying option on each of your nodes. By default it will leak y…
