IseardMi··on GrapheneOS' rewritten Messages app is released
Isn't the whole idea behind Fairphone that they are more expensive because the parts are responsibly sourced? That they pay a fair price for labour and materials? And that the phones are highly repairable?

Why would that mean it could compete with a Pixel which generally has none of those goals?

IseardMi··on Penpot: The Open-Source Figma
They are actually working on a new canvas-based rendering engine in order to get away from using the DOM so that should help performance quite a bit.

IseardMi··on GOG's Preservation Program Is the DRM-Free Store Refocusing on the Classics
I have flip-flopped between GOG and Steam for many years. This has correlated with my use of Linux and Linux's support for gaming.

When I first learned of GOG and I was still primarily gaming on Windows I tended to choose GOG over Steam since I prefer their DRM-free games. However since it became much easier to game on Linux (thanks to Proton and the work of Valve), I tended to start buying more on Steam since it was so much easier to get games working through their platform. Since Heroic launcher came out I have now switched back to primarily buying from GOG again.

IseardMi··on Show HN: Proxmox VE Helper Scripts
Oh yeah I definitely won't be doing this for all my containers, the majority will stay within my VM. However it is worth noting that in many cases the LXC scripts install most of the required packages by adding their official repositories, so this seems like a well supported way of doing this.
IseardMi··on Show HN: Proxmox VE Helper Scripts
I have been using Proxmox VE for several years now and have most of my services running as docker containers in one VM. This always bothered me because I wanted to be able to control the individual services and their backup jobs using the Proxmox interface. After checking out these scripts I already moved a couple services (Caddy and Wireguard) over to LXC containers and am very impressed by how easy it was to do.

Basically I just wanted to say thanks to everyone involved in making these scripts, it has left me with a great first impression.

IseardMi··on Apache Open Office as an unmaintained project?
It looks like most of the recent commits are done by someone as mostly a way of learning and not for the sake of the project itself.
