Good graceful fallback with js disabled. Love it :)

Man if I had a coin every time I email the mods and this thing goes down, I'd strangely have two coins.

"but most of all, jaennaet is my hero"

Is this HNs hug of death or has the website always been so slow :/

Edit: No I take it back. It was my derpy connection

It defines Webmention as: Digital breadcrumbs left by internet users to show they've visited a website, usually accompanied by a virtual pat on the back or a confused 'How did I end up here?'

With the humor mode on of course :)

Awesome! Moreover, I love how hyperknot is engaging with the people and the feedback :) This is super inspiring.

I come to HN for exactly this. /srs

Thanks

Mozilla Social in its early days had a really cool frontend I can't seem to recall the name of. Anybody remembers?

I may be in a silly sleepy mood right now but this article is taking so long to get to the point it's agonizing!

Zotero Connector and SingleFile browser extensions work well.

Double the distaste indeed :D

I haven't been able to do that too, but, here's my experience regarding smartphone use--When I was using an Android, I'd go to accessibility settings and turn the display grayscale. It felt so /tasteless/. Like food without salt. And my smartphone use went down.

When I switched to iOS, I deliberately chose the little SE 2020 edition with a terrible battery so I wouldn't use it much and it has worked. I still click a lot of pictures, use the banking apps, whatsapp here and there, readonly email access but haven't been wasting time on it and it makes me happy :D

In fact my first smartphone ever was a BlackBerry Q10 (in 2018!), deliberately chosen to not get into smartphone addiction.

By the way, kome, would you please get in touch with me? My email's in the bio. I'd love to chat with you about your time prior to having a smartphone :)

This is so well put-together. Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

> there's a reason why some want their packages to come from the people who actually made the software

Not necessarily either. Think of the Audacity fiasco. We were very comfortable using the Debain package but not their Flatpack and obviously not the snap. I realise I'm replying to a subtext but the context is the same.

They're already done by the Debian people.

Amazing!

> Is it possible that you are in India

I am, unfortunately.

> Email us and we'll get you up and running

Will do. Thank you very much!

I sort of have a bad taste about this project. I'll use proper support channels and won't rant here, but what happened was that my card was being declined trying to sign up. Thought I could self-host on a linode somewhere given the code is in the public domain, but there is no documentation :/

Apache only listens to us nerds

People on Gnome, try this rn it's great fun https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4648/desktop-cube/

https://ultorg.com might be useful to you!

How many of us get access to that?

Pehle istemal karein, fir vishwas karein!

What would you do with it?

Here's how...

1. Find out where the Edge executable is; copy its path.

2. Open 'Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security'

3. Select Inbound Rules (Left pane).

3.1 Click on 'New Rule' (Right pane)

3.2 Set the type of rule to Program, click Next and paste the exe path and delete the quotation marks. Click Next.

3.3 Set the Action to 'Block the connection' and then select where this rules applies (select all three options). Click Next.

3.4 Specify a name (and an optional description) for the rule.

Done!

I also made a blocking outbound rule, but I don't think it's necessary for this purpose.

I ended up blocking Edge in the firewall so it would at least close quickly without loading any useless stuff. Even then the firewall rule would reset periodically so I made a new one that points to the Edge binary.

The reason I'm sharing this episode is the format (also that this is Douglas Adams :D). I've never seen quite anything like this.

They have Arthur, Ford and Marvin! form the Hitchhiker's Guide TV Series and the Electric Monk observing the interview. Arthur discovering this "author chap" called Douglas Adams who he thinks might be his biographer and Ford trying to reason through his findings!

They have Marvin and the Electric Monk discussing what Douglas would say next in the interview!

Cannot imagine the effort that is gone to produce a show like this, and I wish there were more.

Edit: Sadly, the video only has the right audio channel, temporarily switching to mono audio out will help.

The South Bank Show had a delightful episode with him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMn_1vN7pi0

(p.s.: The video only has the right audio channel; switch to mono!)

When you embed Google Fonts on your website, the IPs of your visitors, the URLs of the pages they visited, and the User-Agent of their browser is sent to Google. Now they say[1] they don't use this information for profiling and targeted advertising, but they very much /can/.

Given Google's business model, I personally don't have a reason to trust them with my visitor's data, no matter what they do with it. Self-hosting the required fonts is a 2-minute job anyway.
