I feel like we should create an open source P2P chat messaging with encryption thats super easy to use so that these kind of laws become pointless. Empower criminals so that they cant use this excuse to target civilian infra.

The device is under the power of law. You can already see it on iOS and Android is pushing for it too.

You will only be allowed to install "approved" applications, your device, not your choice anymore.

Tmux prevents vendor lock-in but on Terminal level. It's so established and standard that everyone knows they need to support it, which is great. I don't need my terminal do display pictures, render video or whatever crazy features they come up with next, I want a solid base with the essentials.

The rest the Operating system applications can probably do better anyway. VLC, MPV, Apple Preview IrfanView etc.

That's why I love Alacritty, no fuss, no overcomplication. The basics, fast and stable.

Respectfully, if this guy has been doing it for ten years, it’s obviously not so bad as you make it out to be. It’s not a grind set mentality, it’s just one guys choice to exercise in a certain manner.

I am a runner. I train at what is probably the 80th percentile for longer distances, so I am by no means an expert. But I do understand that if you are running 7 miles a week, most of the time, your body isn’t going to be that beat up, especially if you are taking it slow.

It worked out for this specific person under these specific circumstances with a methodology he might have not even fully shared.

You should not conclude from that, that it is healthy for every person to do so.

Is there anywhere that compiles a database of local control capable smart home devices? I tried briefly to search and I found databases of smart devices but none seemed to have that as a filter.

The Home Assistant docs at least document how the integration works by "IoT Class"

For example Tado: cloud polling

The 'send' example perfectly illustrates why I would find Material 3 hard to use - it makes it harder to write the message but easier to send. It's less usable.

I looked at the 2 screenshots and it took me like a minute to see the send button on the new screen.

I am probably very used to the "old" design. If a user will use this product once or twice, yes then the big button at the bottom will be advantaged. But you are biasing the design for new users.

Existing users know exactly where the button is and will now have wasted space because of a gigantic send button.

Very sad half the comments are asking for MacOS app. The rise of development on MacOS for server development when the final target is Linux will cause long term harm to the newer generation of engineers
gempir · 8 months ago
And the unreasonable hostility towards macOS will have zero affect because in the end the best product wins.

Did the rise of Windows cause long term harm to past generation of engineers? I doubt it since now Windows, which had a gigantic market share, still was forced to implement Linux "compatibility" for developers.

There are three popular operating systems for the modern developer and it's not unreasonable to ask for a build for all of them when presenting a project to a developer focused community.

Fast Fashion in the automobile industry. I wish we would focus on Cars that last 20+ years again instead.

Cars that are repairable, that have common parts across the industry so any mechanic can work on them.

Maybe even upgradeable cars so you can make it more environmentally when new technology develops.

Will they be the most environmentally friendly to drive? No probably not, but the manufacturing of cars is super environmentally expensive too.
