Lightning allows single sats worth of micro-payments in real-time, perfect for tossing a few bucks someone's way vs. paying much higher fees and waiting for blocks. The Podcasting 2.0 spec also i…

Actually the Podcasting 2.0 app Fountain does have a web app!
https://www.fountain.fm/radio By all accounts though (podcasting stats) people almost always listen to them on mobile dev…

Wow that was a fantastic read, didn’t expect to get completely sucked into that.
comment
A lot of the work with Podcasting 2.0 is moving things into apps like Fountain or Castamatic. By all accounts, people are way way more likely to engage if they don't have to leave their app. Ther…

Quoting OP > Cookie prompts is the best example of bad faith compliance If cookie prompts are used by both by the official EU and GDPR sites then that was clearly the intent of the law.

I am once again posting the EU official site using cookie pop-ups https://european-union.europa.eu/index_en …

This is either amazing satire or the most Hacker News comment ever written.

The nice thing about Minecraft bedrock is it runs on many platforms that can all play LAN together, like phones, tablets, or consoles.

With regular Blurays it's pretty easy to find a good USB3 model on Amazon for MakeMKV. I have the prior model of the Pioneer BDR-XD08 and it works great - the current model uses USB-C even! On th…

Have you looked recently? It's pretty easy to get models from Dell and Lenovo.

I’m personally cheering for Bcachefs now.

I disagree. If GNOME does anything I personally don’t like it’s usually the result of a grand conspiracy by Red Hat to make the Linux desktop worse, increasing their consulting profits. (/s)

Secure Scuttlebutt is probably close to what you want but it seems dead (all the main implementations seem abandoned).

Yet I still can’t go a day without being sent a Twitter link or seeing comments on HN. Twitter will be dead when people stop talking about it dying.

Barely moderated?
Part of the issue with modern Reddit is newbies can’t contribute in subreddits without breaking the numerous Byzantine rules powermods make.

What would've happened to humanity if we had that same outlook during every hardship that faced them?

I feel like it’s a harder sell than it used to be because post-Ryzen there’s been real increases in CPU performance. Modern NUCs and prebuilt also having native NVMe is a boon too. All depends on wha…

If Linus got hit by a bus gregkh would step in the next day.

Just to be clear though, this will make the TVs cheaper for consumers?
comment
Yeah I also had hiccups with the USB. Nothing as extreme as you but it wouldn't be detected by my BIOS/UEFI - that was fun to debug! :D The new rpi module is flawless though, great change.
comment
Love the New Model M keyboard. I have one for my personal setup and one for my work setup.
Recent batches also use Rpi Picos now which let you flash custom firmware. https://github.com…

My model Ms are older than me, I don't think it's nostalgia.

These users can't buy an Android phone?
