Not right off, but I could possibly look at the book this evening and reply some of them here.

I just got done reading a book called "Shareware Heroes" that mentioned various shareware apps providing source code to users who registered. The free versions never had source provided; the…

Well, by we I did mean HN people.

Basically, yes. I think we've all come to expect freeware to also be free (libre) software. I certainly am in favor of free software as well, but I think that we assume at this point that if you …

I've realized that every few months somebody posts a link to one of the many (cool) things on oimo.io. I wonder what the next one will be :)

What else do you expect from the airline that breaks guitars[0]? [0]: https://youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo

Hot take: ligatures bother me nearly as much as a proportional for would bother me.

I'm not sure why you don't trust Element. It's open source, so you could just look at the code yourself to determine whether you can trust it. I personally use the nheko client since it…

Or, as The Register likes to call it, the Calamity Capsule.

Obligatory relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1279/

Power delivery should absolutely come on every device, period.

This is why I own a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga :) It also has quite nice system specs - 11th gen i7 and 32 GB RAM.

Can this get a "[2022]" added to the title? I remembered seeing this last year.

That may be your experience, but for the right kind of app (e.g. simpler apps) I can confirm from experience that apart from setting up the Android app manifest, Qt apps don't need modifications …

Wrong - I can use Qt and QML to make an app that compiles and runs, unmodified, on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and others. It can even run on web with WASM. And I wouldn't call web apps …

The main problem is that Microsoft is trying to use a WebView. If they really want a single cross-platform app, they should develop a native framework that will work everywhere instead of shoving ev…

OK, the page gives us a guide to submitting feedback about the feature. Everybody with Edge installed, please fire it up just this once and submit a plea to revert this! We can make Microsoft notice!

This is pretty good! However, there are some unusual splices. One I found was with a recording of Cumberland Gap[0]. If you run a 10 minute loop, you'll find that the first splice in multiple tra…

Any speculation why the AMD cards require twice the VRAM that Nvidia cards do? I have an RX 6700 XT and I'm disappointed that my 12 GB won't be enough.

Android devices could push something like https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore or even F-Droid to get a preinstalled store that's not completely evil. For Linux devices,…

Just the HN Hug O' Death at work again :)

Don't worry, it's probably just the ol' HN hug o' death.

I actually have it installed on my work PC, which has Windows, and would personally use it daily if there was a Linux build out. It's beautiful, and it's doubly appealing to me as an existin…

Yeah probably 3 people In all seriousness, yes, unfortunately, I know at least one person who daily-drives the Samsung browser. Why, I can't imagine. I mean, even Chrome is better than Samsung In…
