dest··on Introducing Ad Blocker for Firefox on iOS
Not in my knowledge. It would be hard to have the same amount of funding as they have now from Google.

If only we could pay for Firefox so they could get rid of that Google funding…

The housing market is a bit broken: either expensive private housing or affordable publicly managed one, but very hard to get. People often cannot relocate. Big debt. Security, with addicted errands in some districts.

Soon we will lack letters for funding rounds!
dest··on VLC's Jean-Baptiste Kempf Receives the European SFS Award 2025
Same. Maybe it's the open source ecosystem that forced him to be overly self confident, to fly above the cognitive noise.

Slightly related: squash kill shot https://baptistedarboistexier.wordpress.com/2015/01/12/the-p...

Do you have more details on which aspects of Epictetus' philosophy are related to hating to outsource mental work? I'm not familiar enough with stoicism. Thanks

(I could ask chatgpt, I ask you instead =p)

PS: Claude 3.5 Haiku take on it: "For Epictetus, the process of thinking is more important than the result. By outsourcing mental work, people surrender their most valuable tool for self-improvement - their own mind."

More probably code available on demand but without any license attached
dest··on Show HN: Quadratic – native JavaScript support in a spreadsheet
Interesting product. We would use that as a backoffice that would be self hosted, fetching from and pushing to backend APIs. Is that use case on your roadmap?

Basically an alternative to Google sheet with JS macros in it. Gsheet is no good for us because we have data protection requirements.

dest··on Iron as an inexpensive storage medium for hydrogen
The energy density of the system is surprisingly high (in my modest perspective). It looks like 800kWh per ton of iron. Isn't it ~five times as much as the batteries we have in cars?

[OP] Oops, error in copy paste, sorry for that.
dest··on Google refuses to reinstate account after man took medical images of son’s groin
For private medical communication, one should not use Google services. Those are just incompatible.

I'd say the same for communication in general, if possible, but using Android without Google is difficult for the average user.

dest··on Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED
Parent of three, eldest is 8. For quiet time, she reads a book. No screens, no smart devices.

On this topic, see the excellent website https://whatisnuclear.com/ and its webpage about economics https://whatisnuclear.com/economics.html

There has been a very nice CCC talk on this topic… but I don't have the link :/
dest··on Dell deletes Latitude CPU Throttling issue after link is posted here
A 2015 Dell XPS 13 9343 is still running fine today. I replaced the battery twice, DIY-sourced on AliExpress. Stellar machine for the price (< 1000€ at the time)
