_elf··on Show HN: New Ensō – first public beta
I've always felt that the best part of writing on a computer is the ability to edit while you write, however, I also understand that doesn't work at all for a lot of people, so I think this app is neat even though I personally wouldn't use it.

I'm unaware of a large non-Christian population living in the Confederate States of America.

_elf··on "We ran out of columns"

_elf··on Three years in North Korea as a foreigner (2021)
You frame this as a contradiction but a moment of reflection reveals that it's not.

If the US continues to aid Ukraine, then it's likely that Ukraine will be able to beat Russia eventually, due to the West's superior military equipment and tactics.

If the US stops aiding Ukraine, it will be much more difficult for Ukraine to beat Russia. If Russia achieves its goals and gains control of Ukraine, then yes, other NATO countries will be in danger.

Some of the "russia is loosing hard" news is propaganda of course, to raise the morale of people fighting for their homeland. I find it hard to get too mad about that.

_elf··on Changes we're making to Google Assistant
It works in Firefox and Safari too. I like it a lot and pay for it.
_elf··on Google is already pushing WEI into Chromium
I hope this is something that non-Chrome Chromium-based browsers can omit from their builds.
