Software development and computer stuff in general is my passion. I enjoy doing it as a hobby even after doing it at work. If I didn’t have to work for money, I would probably work on some open source software. In fact that’s kinda my dream / goal - achieve financial independence and work on open source as I please.

Very interesting experiment. Thanks for sharing! Maybe I’ll find some time to run the benchmarks on my Pixel 7 in the upcoming days.

I don’t see how this supports your point then. If “setting up proxy” means “packaging it to run on thousands user machines” then isn’t there obvious and huge potential for a disastrous fuckup?

Setting up proxy is not engineering.

Man, I didn’t get what I’m looking at at first. But after reading the description and watching the video - pretty amazing!

Ente is as close as you can get to Google Photos with E2EE right now. I recently migrated there. The migration wasn’t painless and involved some scripting to handle albums and duplicates but the service itself is really good. Can recommend!

I really hope this happens. NFC payments are the only thing that keeps me from switching to GrapheneOS. Seeing how the situation with big tech unfolds, it’s not impossible that I will decide to give up this convenience though.

But Nothing Phone isn’t a Pixel, is it? Yeah, I think it’s probably closer to the Pixel’s clean software experience than Samsung’s bloated one, but still, this doesn’t seem to be fair comparison.

Hey, I’ve been really careful with my words to NOT say that. I was just wondering and I acknowledge that it might be nonsense.

US has a huge influence on the entire world. Could it be that it started (or got amplified) in the US due to poor healthcare and then spread out to the rest of the world? I’m not trying to put all the blame on US of course, but it doesn’t sound that unreasonable that it could be partially responsible.

I used Samsung until about a year ago and now use Pixel since that time. Pixel software experience is infinitely better for my tastes and needs.

I mean, ok, you do you. There’s a huge amount of people (me included) who find paying with their phone extremely convenient.

Also, this article is about giving users more choice, not forcing anyone to use a wallet app.

I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I love it. I like it more than any app I could find on the Play Store and the fact that it’s open source is an awesome cherry on top.

You don’t need diffing to find something like that, bisect should handle this easily.

When I receive a notification I don’t need to switch away from my editor to check it, I just glance to the left and continue with my work or react if needed. Constantly switching windows in front of me would be so much more distracting for me.

Also, being able to read docs and google stuff on a vertical monitor on the right, while still seeing the code in front of me is incredibly convenient. Again, I can’t imagine switching away from my editor to the docs and to the code again.

I need to be able to effortlessly switch attention between code, tests, logs, docs, notifications. If I can’t do that by just shifting my sight in the right direction, my brain doesn’t function.

It’s so interesting how different people are!

• Left (horizontal) - communicators, btop, Spotify.
• Middle (horizontal) - browser with GitLab, terminals and editors, main development in general.
• Right (vertical) - browser for googling and docs, terminals for tests / logs / whatever I want to see at the same time as the editor, Obsidian for notes.

Anything less than that will completely ruin my workflow. I’m even trying to come up with a feasible way to fit a fourth one.

I’m pretty sure I have aphantasia. My mom, on the other hand, is an artist with very powerful imagination. She would often tell me how she sees something she’s imagining and I never really knew what she meant. I just assumed that it’s kinda a figure of speech. Only when I first read about aphantasia I realized that it probably really works completely differently for her.

I would like to know whether aphantasia has any practical impact on one’s life. For example, I had this suspicion that differences in my “mental image processing pipeline” might be a factor in my terrible driving skills. Quick visual assessment of the traffic situation, at an intersection for instance, is very hard for me. This is just me making stuff up though, no idea if it makes any sense. In fact, I think I’m going to research this topic and look for some papers now!

I’m well aware of what Vivaldi can do but I refuse to support Chromium’s monopoly. In fact, it’s the only reason why I use FF.

Oh god, yes please. I would love to have that!
