I'd hardly say the jury is still out - Bitwarden has been around for 7 years, GitLab for 9, and New Vector for 6. Granted, they may not have reached the level of success that some software compan…

Well, I would agree that "humane" is a poor term to use when describing software in general, but especially for open vs. closed source. I also realize that my comment was a bit harsh on Obsi…

Ha. All the purists will now yell at you because you enjoy progressive "newgrass".

My favorite Jerry Douglas (at least for now): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whg2viEY3eU

This is just another reason for me to add to my list of "why I don't use WhatsApp."

Of course, I feel a bit sorry for the folks who will have to add a Matrix account to their list of accounts to check, but I'm really happy to see KDE embracing fully FOSS communications platforms…

Ads are fine, but please try to use an ethical, privacy focused ad provider and please don't throw angry popups at people who are using ad blockers. I understand that my ad blocking is possibly r…

Hoo boy, looks like I will have to work through some Jerry Douglas! (and a lot of others...)

Hmm, can you provide a source for that? Anyway, as far as I know, it should be a fairly simple process to convert a Leap installation to Tumbleweed, so I'm not too concerned.

Wow, that looks like an invaluable resource! I will have to browse through there and see if there is anything that looks useful.

To answer my own question, I am working on setting up a server with openSUSE Leap as the underlying OS. It's using BTRFS on top of hardware RAID 5 (with 8x 4 TB disks, giving me 28 TB total - amp…

I'd prefer to see Brave be the de facto default. Except for some crypto stuff that is bundled by default, it seems to be really nice and even ships its own privacy focused search engine. (Disclai…

Bing back <blink>!

Attention HN: this comment is spam promoting a gambling site. Can we have that removed?

I imagine a lot of people's websites would still be accessible indefinitely since they are hosted on GitHub Pages. A lot of others would probably expire within a month due to cloud hosting not be…

Absolutely, emoji used spontaneously are great. When they are used as qualifiers or attributes constantly, it becomes just as bad as typing "feat:" or "chore:" or something similar…

I never have understood the push to emojify everything. But commit messages, options in menus, status outputs, you name it: I think we'd be better off leaving it in plain ASCII (or Unicode if you…
