That's on my roadmap! Do you have ideas on how a testsuite for that might work? I am open to suggestions.

bobblywobbles··on If Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness, What Does?
Happiness is a transaction, you don't get it for free. I'm convinced after searching for over 13 years to people to make me happy, the only thing that really makes me happy is helping others.

It's ironic, isn't it? To feel happy you have to do something for another. We only feel happy giving to another, any selfish want in and of itself will never lead to happiness.

bobblywobbles··on Google cutting web cookies, ending lucrative tracking tool for advertisers
Great, so what will be tracking us now, something harder for us to block? The article says there are already things in place that won't affect the bottom line if cookies are cut, so, what are they?
bobblywobbles··on How to get in touch with small businesses?
Why not talk with them about their business? Everyone likes when people listen to them, even help them solve their problems - you should get to know them and that can help you where they are coming from.

In addition, this builds trust that will be pivotal at getting your product in front of more people.

Great post, I enjoyed reading your insights!
bobblywobbles··on Show HN: coolLabs – 3rd party free, privacy focused and community driven project
I love the fact you are helping support anonymous data; it's really a good push and I hope you succeed!
bobblywobbles··on Thank HN: You helped me get a new job
I'm happy things turned out well for you. Let's make the world a better place for all of us =)

Yes, it is quite possible to do that. One of my down the road goals is to add light obfuscation to the source code upon packaging. If anyone is motivated, they can break into _any_ source code and repackage.

I'd also like to add some form of checksumming, but again if they have access to the source code they can change anything they want to.

I just did, the repo is now MIT. Enjoy!

Is now MIT licensed. I realized after you said GPL that this isn't what I wanted for the repo!

Yes, I need help as I wasn't able to test the security recommendation. I found some snippets but they didn't work when I tested locally.

Thank you, I will read up on this!

Thank you for your feedback. This template has not yet been reviewed but I hope to get candid feedback like yours on spots that may have been missed.

I am planning to change the way the IPC renderer is exposed; Marshall from the Electron team pointed me to a better way of doing so and I hadn't had time to update the repo yet. That will be something I update soon in the code and in the docs.

The best practices I take from Electron themselves; https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/security. If there are other security reports please send them to me and the template can be enhanced further.

bobblywobbles··on Create Your Own CRM: How Much Money and Time Does IT Take?
This is a well-thought and written article, thank you!
bobblywobbles··on Dark Patterns After the GDPR
A real effort to protect the information related to users using a website or webservice is not a trivial effort. Extensive re-architecture and forethought is required in order to fully comply, or at least that's the amount I estimate it would require to be fully GDPR-compliant.

Small firms won't be able to take on the cost, which will hurt new businesses.

bobblywobbles··on Wolff 2 released: Ridiculously small framework for building web apps
Did you build this framework yourself?
bobblywobbles··on Are we living in a simulated world?
Sometimes we live too much in our mind and question each source of information that we read because of such misleading sources that we begin to question our very understanding of life itself.

That came out a big too "prophetic", but I think it's fairly true if you think about it.

bobblywobbles··on Get Substantial Sustainable Funding for Your Projects
Thanks for sharing this announcement, it will be exciting to see what projects get funded through these grants!
bobblywobbles··on I'll pay you $100 for an Electron PR
Bumped up the bounty to $230! https://www.bountysource.com/issues/85135915-ipcrenderer-doe...
bobblywobbles··on I'll pay you $100 for an Electron PR
Just wade in and around the code a bit, think about it. It always takes some time in a new codebase. We aren't all perfect, and it definitely doesn't come instantly to us as we all learn at our own pace!

I've made some progress on the issue if you'd like to take a peak at it now.

bobblywobbles··on I'll pay you $100 for an Electron PR
Both of the platforms seem pretty inactive, but I can try - thanks!
bobblywobbles··on I'll pay you $100 for an Electron PR
That I cannot afford, sadly!
bobblywobbles··on I made a website that helps you name your startup or website
Neat site, I hope you do well with it!
bobblywobbles··on Help me quit my day job
If you want to quit your day job, be smart about it. What is bugging you about your current job; coworkers? work/life balance? compensation? distance to your job? don't do what you enjoy?

I always applaud a good project that aims to inspire, but it seems to me you are asking for permission here. It shouldn't be up to us to tell you to quit your job. In fact- asking us to tell you tells me you want to, you just don't yet on what grounds.

Take some time to think it over and try to understand if it's a rational or emotional reason why you feel this way. If you can see this reason for yourself and it persists for at least two weeks, you'll know for sure why you want to leave which will help you decide what things of your new job are something you are looking for (ie. better pay/commute/coworkers/work-life balance/etc.)

Best of luck!

Truly sad they must live in this area. Let her story stir our hearts towards compassion and let us drive to grow to support those who are less fortunate than us.
bobblywobbles··on Creating an open-source solution to the headaches of headless browsers
Looks interesting, however I can't view your webpage - I am getting this error: "The character encoding of the plain text document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the file needs to be declared in the transfer protocol or file needs to use a byte order mark as an encoding signature."
bobblywobbles··on Friended is a new social network that wants to get real
I like the enthusiasm. It's always a good idea to try and help solve the ever-present problem of "I don't have enough friends, I need more inter-personal connection."

Fundamentally, I believe we _can't_ solve this problem through technology. I think it can be used to initiate the friendship, but never sustain it. I feel the problem is you can't be vulnerable on a screen, it just never replicates the face-to-face interaction with someone else.

I've been there for many years looking for that online substitute, it just doesn't ever fully work. However - I wish you luck on your network.
