What I always missed when dealing with i3 is sane defaults. i3 right after installing is ugly and needs small tweaks in config to fit to my needs. Regolith is exactly what I needed: you install it and it's usable right away. Too bad it's specific to Ubuntu, I wish I could use it on other distros as well

Can you share some recommendations of where to begin? I've always wanted to try it, yet when I did it, I was kind of overwhelmed by amount of options you have (clients to choose, servers to join)

> The nice thing with password managers is you only have to remember the one password. That means it's easy to make that password very strong.

And the BAD thing about password managers is that you need to type that password every time you want to access your database. Of course you can set some strong, complicated password, but you need to remember it and you need to type it sh*tload of times :) But I see your point

Thanks for tips, I didn't know about it. I need to try it out

> Keepass just stores everything in one encrypted .kdbx file

I've always wondered if this might be a potential vulnerability. If a file leaks some day and attacker gains an access to the file, he has infinite time to try to break a password and you cannot do anything about it. Using online password storage in theory could limit amount of login trials. Also, changing password in kdbx file has no effect as attacker still have physical access to previous file with previous password.

Seems to be no Linux version of postbox unfortunately.

Actually, I would really want something like that to happen sometime. There was a really fun April Fool's experiment on Reddit a few years ago called Robin. Gathered bunch of people in small groups, active groups would then merge if people in there were active. Conversations there were much more spontaneous then on typical IRC/discord groups in know. I hope someone will manage to do something similar at scale, ideally on HN.

It's too late to capture mobile platforms, not only because the market is stabilized but most importantly: computing moves to the cloud, where Microsoft is already a big player. IMHO there is no point for them to do that.

I'm Firefox user, but those arguments are ridiculous for me, it almost sounds like conspiracy theory. You just keep convincing people to use software not because it's better, but because of some blurry ideological reasons.

I keep reading articles like that on tech-related websites and they all miss the point which is: if Chrome-based browsers one day manage to gain 100% market share, what will it change if it is open source? What stops anyone from just forking that browser if Google makes anything wrong with it? And what did Google do with browsers so far, that we hate it?

> From a read standpoint, all data is essentially open source

Unless you encrypt things you put on blockchain. Or use clever ways to hide information from others. There are cryptocurrencies like Monero.

Shooting down satellites might be the same kind of threat that dropping nuclear bomb was during cold war. Technically they could do it, but potential consequences to everyone on planet are so devastating, no one would make such move. It would basically stop any advancement is space for years

The question is: should we trust small, underfunded, hobbyist servers more than large corporations that have a money-driven reason to maintain high quality of services?

From what I see it's the kind of library for people preferring usability over good looking appearance. Of course you can make it "look like anything", but sane defaults are also important for rapid software development and this definitely lack them

Is that password sent anywhere or is it just used on client side decryption?

Are you referencing some specific event? Never heard of controversies linked to food pyramid

I imagine that this is how social media platforms create "information bubbles". In terms of politics it won't work: people that agree with your political views would get more "trust". Is agreeing with your views an indication of good content? I'm not sure.

The biggest issue with it is a really large binaries that have to be downloaded on page start. So it isn't necessarily suitable for use cases where speed matters. But at the same time, it's perfect for dashboards, I really like to work with it.

You are assuming that AI will magically appear in one hands only. We can prevent that, as developers we can make AI research open and provide AI tools to masses in order to keep "balance". If everyone had the same power, then it wouldn't be such big advantage anymore.

Maybe consider streaming your work online? Of course it depends on what you do, your clients could not like that xD

From my observations, people that don't act certain are not necessarily respectable among other people. I mean, I agree that saying "I don't know" is morally correct, but in practice, in real life, it's not the best strategy.

I've never encountered with "improvisional theater". How does it work? What practically is "performing without a script"? You stay on stage and say anything that comes to your mind?
