I don't use Lobste.rs anymore because the owner irrationally blocked the browser I'm using, and I refuse to switch to a different browser just to read Lobste.rs. The owner seems like he has …

> should be kept separate I think people in this thread have already spelled it out. They appreciate The Pirate Bay and what it stands for.

That the CISA works with the EIP isn't Kool-Aid, it's a fact, no matter how much it upsets the apple cart of established big media narratives. You know what else isn't "Kool-Aid&qu…

As an owner of an Amiga 500, I remember watching the 600 flop even though I was mildly interested in upgrading, but he's right that this was the point where a lot of users like me threw in the to…

There was this open protocol (that still exists!) called IRC. Also: Usenet and email.

Sorry not sorry, but that was no "nothingburger." The fact of the matter was that Twitter under Jack Dorsey had become completely bloated and abusive. You had people working there whose only…

Carl Lindström's political ideology was also inseparable from his life's work.

The only time I use Safari is when the MBP is unplugged because it improves the battery life. I have the AdBlock extension but I'm looking for something better.

I'm a former land surveyor (now DevOps guy) who spent a lot of summers during childhood on the eastern shore of Maryland, where we have relatives. I also did a lot of land surveys in the DelMarVa…

Yeah, I had large corporations in mind.

In Safari, how is AdGuard better than AdBlock?

Yep, I absolutely will not play these stupid games with retailers. If you want my business, don't expose me to malware.

I don't doubt your claim. The only thing I'm maintaining here is that Apple is quite popular in many countries outside the US. Go to Australia and NZ and notice how many people have iPhones.

Is 850W really "overkill"? I don't know. I suppose it depends on how likely it is you will expand and add devices.

As someone who was very active on IRC back in the day and is now forced to use Discord (because that's where certain communities are now), from a design and user perspective Discord is so much wo…

I'd be interested in hearing about the specs. Planning on building a new Linux desktop soon.

Don't most Brave users have all the crypto functionality turned off or opted out?

outside of the U.S., Apple is not really a thing I think Apple is still very much a thing in the EU and the Anglosphere. What platform are you on?

It's interesting to me the uphill battle Kagi is fighting to get people to pay for ad-free search and browsing. I wish them all the best because I think it's a fight worth having. https:&#x…

I think you made the right decision. Becoming an active Orion user will help the browser ecosystem improve, while Firefox is clearly a dead end.

It's time. People can complain that "oh it's based on Chromium" but I don't think that's the hill to die on right now.

>unofficial President That sure is a funny way to refer to a president who was elected by both the popular vote and the Electoral College. I'm no fan of Trump, but it sounds like a form of d…

Dillo is only sporadically developed. They even lost control of the dillo.org domain a long time ago, which pretty much spells amateur hour. Ladybird would be a better choice, but it's not even f…

The 15C is a true classic. I used to be a land surveyor, so the 48GX with the COGO card was my fave.

Licensure. You're talking about licensure, not certifications. Other industries do it. Why doesn't software engineering?

That is correct. I was trying to make a basic statement. We should be careful not to make excessive claims about the benefits of houseplants, but generally speaking I think they are a benefit.
