Maybe if f-droid is important to you, donate, so they can buy newer build server?

Did and doing regularly.

I gave it an honest look for 5 minutes and after still only having found a 3-line hello world I gave up (and came here to complain).

It's great that you have all that philosophy behind it, all sounded great, but if you don't show me a compelling example in the first minute or two, not even in tutorial, then you'll fail to capture my interest.

They're on HP https://www.ponylang.io/ unfortunately the article link points to /discover/

I wish these language websites would put an example of some code right there on the homepage so I can see what the language "feels" like. I finally found some code in the tutorials https://tutorial.ponylang.io/getting-started/hello-world

I use tmux in all my terminal sessions. It can search. It's not grep, but 95% of the time it's enough and the 5% I capture the output to a file myself using tmux's it's copy/paste function. I wouldn't mind such functionality if it wasn't mouse-based. But switching terminal just for this not. But seeing an idea executed it always nice.

It's unfortunate that holding down backspace does not keep deleting characters (or better yet delete word by word like Swiftkey does)
ratdragon · 2 years ago
Delete word is "swipe left on backspace". The autorepeat is definitely something I'd like to see too.

> people claiming industrial-scale solar and wind is cheaper than burning fossil fuels

It's a lot cheaper if you price in the externalities.

ratdragon · 3 years ago
Depends on when, that's why we need gas and other dispatchables. We've no grid-scale energy storage as of now. So saying they're cheaper isn't comparing apples to apples.

I love LD_PRELOAD hacks, too bad it is less & less binaries that can be "hacked" like this.

Apps have started locking you out if they detect you have an unofficial build. Even dumb apps like McDonalds. Good luck using mandatory banking apps there as well.
ratdragon · 3 years ago
I've deleted Revolut some time ago because of that. Well, they've since reversed their stance. Not sure why but now it works with Lineage.

It’s a huge pain in the ass. Usually trips up the android safteynet drm and doesn’t give kernel updates because no one has access to the proprietary driver blobs which no longer work with new kernels.

You can often get android api updates like this but not any real security updates.

ratdragon · 3 years ago
I'm planning to test (but I hate reinstalling) https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk for safetynet whatnot.

But lack of kernel updates is pita and absolutely true :(

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halicin - a recently (2019) discovered ATB with "an unusual mechanism of action" has been found to be effective against Acinetobacter Baumanii in mice. Found using deep-learning.
