ElectronBadger··on GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple
I've been using /e/OS for years. Since 2025 I'm on Pixel 9A and GOS. It's excellent. Everything I need works great. Updates are so frequent. Attention to details regarded to security is amazing. My favorite mobile OS.
ElectronBadger··on EU to build no-fee payments service like Visa/Mastercard and Apple/Google Pay
Finally.
ElectronBadger··on Apple says it may stop shipping to the EU
Presumably I speak not only for myself. My reply is zero. Zero is the exact number of fucks given.

ElectronBadger··on I still like Sublime Text in 2025
Sublime Text user here, it's been my go to editor for the last few years. The best. A keeper.
ElectronBadger··on Ask HN: Which RSS reader do you use?
The Old Reader (https://theoldreader.com) in the browser.
ElectronBadger··on Rivian's chief software officer says in-car buttons are 'an anomaly'
Touchscreen/voice control are good mostly for manufacturers, since they allow reducing production costs while increasing profit. We must not allow them trying to convince us that their benefit is ours.
ElectronBadger··on Six top Alzheimer's researchers accused of fraud
(active researcher in schizophrenia here)

I don't think we have a better, readily available solution to the problem than a public peer network (such as https://pubpeer.com/) monitoring the published papers, especially those "groundbreaking breakthroughs". Also, AI algorithms should be applied for the purpose. Every research funded from public funds should be freely available, together with datasets and auxiliary data (scripts, etc). Study preregistration should be obligatory.

Coordination of the scientific project is also very important, but that's out of my competence.

ElectronBadger··on Zed on Linux Is Here
I couldn't find anything resembling "Send code to REPL", so no Zed for me.
ElectronBadger··on Zed on Linux Is Here
I'm all for Sublime Text and Merge, my daily drivers for all kinds of writing..
ElectronBadger··on Ask HN: Is Firefox better than Chrome when it comes to user security?
This is only an indirect measure, but:

1. CVE Chrome vulnerabilities: 3415 (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/15031/Google-Chrome.html)

2. CVE Firefox vulnerabilities: 2622 (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/3264/Mozilla-Firefox.html)

ElectronBadger··on Microsoft's official Minesweeper app has ads, pay-to-win, and is hundreds of MBs
I think it's "we'll milk all the suckers".
ElectronBadger··on Ask HN: What software sparks joy when using?
Bitwig, SublimeText, Tusky (Mastodon client for Android), Midnight Commander, my highly customized i3 setup.
ElectronBadger··on The unreasonable effectiveness of i3, or: ten years of a boring desktop env
I've been using i3 exclusively for the last few years. I gels so well with my workflow, I can't see myself returning to a non-tiling WM.
ElectronBadger··on Pandoc
I do all my scientific writing in Markdown (SublimeText + JabRef for bibliography). In ST I have a macro that runs Pandoc to convert .md files to .odt/.odp, including images and formatted references. Wonderful program to work with.
ElectronBadger··on Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
https://codeberg.org/AdamWysokinski/NeuroAnalyzer.jl Neurophysiological data analysis with Julia (https://neuroanalyzer.org)
ElectronBadger··on Studio One 6.5 is now available as public beta version for Ubuntu Linux
And Renoise: https://www.renoise.com

ElectronBadger··on AMD may get across the CUDA moat
On my PC workstation (Debian Testing) I have absolutely no problems running NVIDIA PNY Quadro P2200, which I'm going to upgrade with PNY Quadro RTX 4000 soon. I'd love to make a switch for AMD Radeon, but the very short (and shrinking) list of ROCm supported cards makes this move highly improbable for the not-so-nearest future.
ElectronBadger··on ROCm is AMD's priority, executive says
Really? Than you might explain why this list is so pitifully short: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/release/gpu_os_support.h... and will get even shorter: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/CHANGELOG.html#amd-insti... I'm so for AMD, but in terms of easily-accessible GPU computing ROCm is way behind CUDA.
ElectronBadger··on Yazi: Fast terminal file manager based on async I/O
After using it for brief while, I'd say that I like it. It will not replace may daily driver (Midnight Commander), but it's good for fast preview/rename/delete actions.
ElectronBadger··on What Is Dimensional Analysis?
Similar library for Julia is Unitful.jl (https://github.com/PainterQubits/Unitful.jl).
ElectronBadger··on I paid for Sublime Text
I paid for SublimeText and SublimeMerge and will happily pay another time, when my v3 license expires. While I'm mostly in the FOSS camp, Sublime software, together with Bitwig Studio (https://www.bitwig.com) and Reaper (https://www.reaper.fm), are the pinnacle of commercial products in their categories.
