Irony is lost on this guy ... :D Edited to add: I comment on the guy you commented on, not you. Just in case. I did not want to reply to them to not give offense.

It works on a Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS.

Oh, come on. Freedom of Information Act sounds kinda nice!

... possibly made by Neanderthals

And here is the paper this refers to:

I use https://brouter.de/brouter-web on my laptop. Someone told me that you can use brouter as the nav engine for Osmand and thus greatly improve speed and accuracy for navigation, but I have not yet tried this.

And I recently installed GMaps WV from Fdroid as a wrapper for Google Maps. It gives current traffic information but I don't really know if it is even close to gmaps.

I use Graphene but with Google play store app. Here in Europe my banking apps and 2fa apps (SecureGo) work flawlessly. NFC cards work with PassAndroid and FOSSwallet, both from Fdroid. I've had issues installing rather new games via the play store, but most often it takes a couple of tries or a waiting period to work in the end.

Long forgotten the times back in the days during the Great Editor Wars when Emacs was shunned as an acronym for "Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping". The youth of today ...

Every once in a while I think about using PayPal ... then I do some research and am utterly astonished why people would agree to such T&C. I would never use Google or Apple for payments. So I am desperately looking for a viable alternative. I used giropay until they cancelled service to the end of 2024 and I have to wait for Wero or an alternative. Yes, I do have serious concerns and I do absolutely not trust any American services. Especially not in these times. And I have less security concerns but rather privacy and data protection concerns in this matter. But I do have no illusions. European politicians see digital services as means to surveillance and control. Citizen's concerns, rights or best interests are certainly not on their agenda. This was clearly demonstrated recently when the EU commission refused to publish the names of the stakeholders and institutions working towards even more surveillance and permissions for governmental organizations.

I had to allow d3.js in NoScript for Fennec. Had the same intermittant redraw of the entire screen mentioned above.

I understand that the drum is fixed to the drone, not the operator. It spools off a couple of clicks of ultra thin fibreoptic cable that is cut of by the operator once the drone is detonated or lost. So the Ukrainian landscape by now is crossed with these cables adding to the environmental damage already happening by conventional means? Is there any long time data or study on future risks to the population? As far as I understand, broken FO can easily break the skin and enter the body and you certainly don't want it in your food chain.

"The Midget."

Rogue One, not Solo.

I think this is their point given this threads question for a humbling learning moment. Both ports support charging but it took someone from outside to get OPs fixed mind off their habitual notion that only a specific port could charge. They did not even try that other port.

Schrödingers migrant: taking our job while being too lazy to work. Very common perception over here, too.

Basically yes. But as I understand it this is the reason why some border guard might ask you to boot up your machine to show him your system as a used and "lived in" installation. You might want to avoid arousing suspicion by lugging around a piece of dead metal (a laptop with unusable bit noise on its discs) or by presenting a fresh and empty OS.

Amazing hobby project of a couple of dedicated nerds.

No. It's not. I'm glad someone shared this feeling because I had it too.

Yes, exactly. My immediate reaction was coming back here to see some filters applied whether it's worth the effort.

As far as I remember the explosion created by a lasgun-shield effect was indistinguishable from a nuclear explosion. Nuclear weapons were banned, their use heavily sanctioned. I think there was a hint that the use of atomics would immediately bring in the combined forces of the Landsraad Great Houses totally annihilating the perpetrator. That effectively prevented the use of the lasgun-shield effect. Though the Fremen set up some shields during the final battle for Arrakeen (in the first book) to draw Sardaukar lasgun fire, thus giving them a lesson to be a little bit more restrained on the use of lasguns.

How about calling it evil and nefarious to speak about voluntary statistics when it is not opt-in, but opt-out? There are users out there who will agree to anything. But I doubt those are the ones that really should direct the evolution of a piece of software. And almost no users will agree to telemetry when openly asked what we are talking about. And I have yet to be convinced that telemetry is actually as useful as proclaimed. I don't really see Firefox moving in a direction that enhances user experience based on gathered data. Windows, anyone?

I found your game a couple of months ago here on HN and put it on my backlog of things to check out. But rest assured that I told a couple of work colleagues who went down that rabbit hole and didn't show up again for days due to being fascinated and nerd sniped. Their responses were quite positive and I'm looking forward to finding the time to follow!

I custom compile gtk+ to remove the 'search on type' behavior in file>open dialogs,

This "feature" never fails to amaze me and I stumble over it _every_ time I use the file picker. And for the life of me I do not understand why someone would implement it this way.

What bugs me most is that file name in the name field is already highlighted but instead of inserting text there when typing it starts to fill in another input field. I wish someone could explain. It just feels asinine. Every time.

Ironically, Kevin Mitnick is missing from the list.

It might. But it adds yet another channel with a shitload of information from just outside your immediate surroundings that you have to filter, process and put into relation to your situation. You need to find or create a space and time where you focus on that input while you and your team are under threat. And if you are unlucky and blessed with the right kind of leadership some staff officer in some remote hq will start to micromanagement you.

I think parent is refering to the servo team.

When I used FL during uni mid-90s it was used to optimize revolutions and torque for shifting loads. Another often described use case was a loaded cat on the arm of a crane, that moves along the arm without getting the load to swing.

I can't help but to mention kilo [0], antirez's exercise on writing a tiny editor. It's presentation as a beginners project [1] into C and terminal programming helped me a lot in my understanding. Thanks a lot, antirez and Paige!

I sure hope you used the hotel's wifi in the lobby to do so! ;)

I know here on HN I shouldn't, but I quite enjoyed this comment ...
