8K832d7tNmiQ··on Gpwgraph – PipeWire Graph Qt GUI Interface
Quick question, is there a single GUI app that actually let me control Pipewire pipeline? the command line approach is very user-unfriendly and there are tons of options that no normal user even understand what each of those parameters even mean for.
8K832d7tNmiQ··on Why Disconnecting from Your Phone Is So Good for You – and How to Do It
> Make your phone less accessible

>One of the best ways to disconnect from your phone is to get some physical distance from it. “Let’s say you have your little workstation at home—try to keep your phone behind you on the shelf,” Olson advises. Much of our phone use is mindless, so “putting up these little barriers, like keeping it behind you, face down, can be effective.” Keeping your phone in another room while you sleep is another particularly helpful strategy, he adds.

As someone who spends most of the time in front of the computer, I cannot believe how effective this strategy works for me.

8K832d7tNmiQ··on Bitwarden: Avoid at all costs (outage issue)
>because I'm stupid enough to trust them with my TOTPs and storing temp verification passwords.

I'm sorry, but isn't the highlight of your problem is that you did not separate TOTP with any service that depends on it, including BW?

8K832d7tNmiQ··on MS Teams Linux client is being retired. To be replaced by a progressive web app
and how is that supposed to be a negative thing?

At most, we got one electron app that can get rid off, while at the same time get a guarantee to have the same feature as other systems.

8K832d7tNmiQ··on In Praise of Stacked PRs
> I wish git did is to be able to say that a new branch is based off an old branch (not a commit that used to be that branches head). > Then if I change the base pr in progress (say via rebase or via squashing or the like), I can easily rebase my new commits in the new pr on top of the current state of the branch.

You'd still end up fixing all the conflicts your branch made either way, and also breaking the flow of commits if you didn't update the message. So why bother doing all of that instead of stashing your current project, rebase, and force push it? I believe that's supposed to be the standard approach to handle conflict changes in PRs.

8K832d7tNmiQ··on 4th Gen KDE Slimbook – Linux Ultrabook with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700U
The same exact reason you've never seen an average person tried to even manually upgrade windows using flash drive. Why is this still need to be discussed again?
8K832d7tNmiQ··on GPU-accelerated video decoding
the writer mentions ffmpeg as a simple hardware-accelerated video player, but has there ever been a study on how much overhead added for low-latency application over lower-level library such as VAPPI?
8K832d7tNmiQ··on YouTubeDrive: Store files as YouTube videos

8K832d7tNmiQ··on Ask HN: Long time programmers of HN, what are you surprised does not exist yet?
There is still no standardised method to actually post something on the internet without getting copyright infringement for literally anything. I mean, what's stopping content creators to include certificate metadata inside the video just to proof that they have the right to use licensed music in their video?

8K832d7tNmiQ··on Android loses 8% of its global OS market share in five years
I'm sorry, but I fail to understand your argument here.

Either you are Edward Snowden or Elliot, there is no written rule to use every single Apple services in order to use iPhone.

I've been using iPhone for almost a decade and the only feature I only ever use is Find My Iphone for obvious reason.

> I just want a small phone that gets updates, has maps, and has a decent music app.

And what stops you for doing that in iPhone?

8K832d7tNmiQ··on Ask HN: What should I bring up during salary negotiation as a junior developer?
if you are still struggle even with that advice, just try calculate your bare-minimum monthly cost of living and add 1-5 percent for additional savings and that'd be your initial wage.

Might not be applicable in the US, I guess.

8K832d7tNmiQ··on Ask HN: Why did HN just go down?

hear, hear!

Anonaddy is a godsend to me, for having an additional feature to set which alias are allowed to forward (albeit limited just enough for essential services I can use) and also recently you can reply a message from your alias email

I'm currently using B2 to store 120 GB of my personal backup and only paying 0.5 dollars per month for years and they still haven't change their price for years.

8K832d7tNmiQ··on On iPhone sideloading: it’s ok, I’m changing my mind
really, if they want to monetize sideloading apps, just do what Microsoft did with their xbox consoles by requiring a small, one-time-purchase additional fee to allow sideloading.
