Even everyone's favourite Gary Brannan, Gary Brannan?
Tried it out. Liking it so far, but I might have soft-locked the demo? I think I got into a state where I can't get a key to progress. Or at least I can't seem to find it. Happy to send pics of map or copy of save file if it would be valuable.
You could probably do a season about how all the people making up and spreading the conspiracies are all part of a conspiracy...
I'm already on an independent git forge, so I have that covered.
I only read the protocol document and skimmed the guide, so I didn't see the cryptocurrency angle of the funding company. Yeah, that's a bit of a warning sign.
Um... It's literally hosting itself, complete with issues and PRs (which they call patches). So to me it seems to replace a forge.
For private repos, it could be quite a good fit. No need for other contributors/users.
I was looking for something like this as a private alternative to GitHub/GitLab last month. Awesome to stumble across this.
In fact, Lord Rutherford said that "ALL models are wrong, but some are useful" 🙂
This is interesting because I've been thinking about switching from Debian to Arch. I'm already running Nix inside of my Debian installation to get more recent apps (I don't like how snap interacts with the rest of the system, so I avoid it if I can).
Is there anything else on a more base OS level (like apt v pacman) that you've noticed is different, if you're willing to share?
TIL about Rainmeter. This thread has done some good, beyond the obvious good of mocking Dev Home.
Makes sense. I can't blame you for taking that position. I think we need a paid search engine: if you're not paying you're the product, after all.
IIRC, most legal scholars believe that shrinking the court doesn't get rid of existing justices as they are appointed for life. It simply prevents the appointment of new ones.
DDG has gone downhill in recent years.
Not as much as Google though, so I've been feeling like it's been getting better and better, but it's just a comparative feeling.
I tried to switch to Tidal, but I found their app not as good, their integration with Sonos lacking, and no parental controls, which is important to me. Music selection was pretty good. A lot of niche stuff isn't there, sadly. For example I sometimes listen to college acapella groups, and there just isn't as much there. All the popular music is there though.
I keep waiting for Robert Reich to end up on Game Changer somehow. I want to see the two of them make some shenanigans happen.
Reading the article, you do some registry edits to tell Windows that it's in Europe. Then you uninstall as if you were in Europe. No word on what other consequences this might have.
IMO since the app is Louis' project that is primarily being financed by donating his personal money to FUTO (AFAICT)
For clarity, FUTO is privately funded by an independently wealthy person, not Louis. Louis is an employee who believes in the mission.
I mean, you got my upvote already, but one big reason is that Robertson wanted to control all the manufacturing of the screws and the bits. Phillips licensed his patent out and let anyone make them just taking a tiny licensing fee. Made a fortune on volume. Robertson: good engineer, bad businessman.
I don't fully agree with these, but these are the cases I've heard of:
- Deeper integration with webcams
- USB authentication devices like Yubikeys
I think these are better served with extensions or specific browser protocols that communicate with native apps in order to keep the crazy web world more isolated from the high-value computer world, but what do I know? My guess is that someone at Google went "You know, we're creating a lot of these specific protocols to communicate with webcams, printers, and now we want to do authentication dongles. You know what? They all use USB? Why don't we just create a general way to access USB?"
