  • How valid is the claim that people coming or going to blue sky/mastodon/X/Truth Social will cause echo chambers to increase? is it bad?

  • Oh, I've questioned everything.

  • Unpopular opinion: It's time to bring back church.

    No algorithms controlling you; locally based and strengthens community; a broad spectrum of rich and poor meeting and being seen; opportunities to care and be cared about on a weekly basis; opportunities to develop social skills and to really make an impact in your community based on social missions like food banks and myriad activities. Plus, you meet people not because you want to change their minds, but because they're just there, trying to be better people. And then once in a while, good conversations turn into minds changed.

    Context: I used to be Mormon and left because I no longer believed, but I now see a hell of a lot of good in church, as long as it isn't a control freak over your life and sense of self.

  • What are your thoughts on Zen Browser becoming a lot more popular than Floorp?

  • There is a certain strain of open source development that is nearly anti-marketing, as far as I can tell. They choose names like "gimp", "git", "frotz", "borg", "pooch", "butt", "slurm", "mutt", "snort", and "floorp".

  • [rant] everytime i give it a chance, btrfs lets me down

  • I had some trouble with ZFS and kernel compatibility when upgrading the OS, so I switched to btrfs. It's been fine for 3 years now, including a kernel upgrade.

  • I love this approach.

    Nit: "If you can find prior art that describes such a system before June 13, 2013, you could be a winner." ... 2013 is a typo I'm guessing?

  • This is almost completely true, but I would add the caveat that PWAs (progressive web apps) are not as easy to discover and less familiar to install as an app in an app/play store. It might also be because it's in Apple and Google's best interest to not streamline that. But it's still an obstacle nevertheless.

  • Aegis on Android is also very nice (and open source).

  • Working development system. I got quite far, but after so much work, became very frustrated when a VSCode plugin wouldn't work properly because it needed (and assumed) read/write access. I didn't want to have to manage and think about every little plugin I experimented with at the OS level.

  • I really wanted to like NixOS (and I do, theoretically), but I couldn't dedicate more than 5 full days over Christmas to learn how to get to a working development system.

  • Authy got hacked, and 33 million user phone numbers were stolen

  • Check out Aegis if you're on Android. (See my other comment).

  • On Android, I replaced Authy with the open-source Aegis app. It's just as functional, allows exporting, and doesn't tie your data to your phone number (nor store it on a central system--not sure if Authy does this or not).

  • Very interesting. Do you have any more info about the relationship between 1080p/60hz and battery? It sounds intuitively true, I'd just like to learn more.

  • Very nice! I was just looking at reviews on this. Really nice machine in every way, except maybe for the camera, and minor points off for the display being "only" 1080p. I have a lovely framework 13", but am jealous of the Lemur's battery life.

  • Is there such a thing as split-screen grep?

  • Thanks!
