  • None, he gave up after Apple blocked them once.

    There were actually a couple attempts, but it's kinda in Apple's hands... I think he was hoping he could generate enough public outcry to force them to not block it. You can also still access it now, if you have your own mac.

    Further, Beeper is just a re-skinned Matrix client with the Beeper company hosting the open source bridges between services

    It's their own client, not just reskinned, and it has a bunch of new features designed to make cross-service nice and simple. Also, the bridges ARE open-source, but the beeper company wrote a few of them and decided to open source them.

    Don't let Migicovsky take your money and mismanage it again.

    He refunded everyone who bought a subscription when Apple blocked it. Beeper main is also free.

  • You could've made music out of ejecting/retracting those all at different times!

    Would've actually been fantastic distributed systems practice, synchronizing all of those to tight tolerances of music across a network connection...

  • Yeah, but what's the relative quality of responses? I feel like the bar for "tech savvy" or "competent at programming" has dropped precipitously. And unfortunately, the number of people confidently asserting a wrong answer online is high in my experience, including on programming forums.

  • Another really helpful tool is to use the fish shell instead of bash. It has tons of useful features, but my favorite is by far the autocomplete. It parses man pages to provide suggestions for flags, subcommands, even passed arguments, and each item in the results list has a description, and it's all searchable by hitting shift+tab.

    That's what leveled up my cli game from 0-100. It's a massive difference in usability and discoverability. And unlike things like nushell, it's close enough to bash that you won't feel confused if you have to use bash instead.

  • And I bought it last year! Just because it's been out for a while doesn't mean people aren't still discovering it. Especially true for a 2d, stylized game like Terraria where maxing out the performance and graphics isn't essential to make it competitive with newer games.

  • Actually, when I was in Paris in high school, I had the opposite experience - I kept trying to speak French (which I could speak conventionally after 6 years of study), and many people would refuse to answer me in French, instead answering me in English.

  • My best recommendation is a good git GUI. I really like Gitkraken (proprietary & freemium unfortunately, but a pretty generous free plan). I'm now more advanced than many of my coworkers because it helped me form an intuitive understanding of git.

  • Lol chill, I use Firefox. I can still call out good things in other browsers even if I don't like the browser as a whole for other reasons. None of what I said there was in support of chromium.

  • Brave can make micro payments to content creators based on the number of views to the site, directly supporting content creators without ads or the need to join the patreon for each creator. It's a fully optional system, off by default but prompted upon opening the browser for the first time. It's a cool idea but they kind of spoiled it by making it be a crypto wallet with ads to earn the crypto.

    Also, Brave doesn't have a subscription...?

  • I did one similar! Used autohotkey to hide the task bar at random intervals and pop up a warning that said "system out of memory". Only way to get it back was autohotkey or a reboot. It would restart daily and on login so it would keep happening. And I hid it as "Nvidia game scanner service.exe" in the Nvidia bloatware folder so it looked innocent. Had a good laugh about that one
