lcnmrn··on OpenBoard – FOSS Keyboard for Android which respects your privacy
Simple Keyboard is both on F-Droid and Play Store. https://github.com/rkkr/simple-keyboard
lcnmrn··on Diskitude: Disk usage visualization tool in 10 KB
Running Diskitude or WizTree in Wine? Or with CMD+J in Finder > Calculate all sizes.
lcnmrn··on Firefox 82
Click ••• > Always open this in a Container > Pick one. Done.
lcnmrn··on Ask HN: What RSS Reader do you use?
https://artificialfeed.com/

The feeds are predefined (curated), but the articles are sorted by Facebook engagement.

lcnmrn··on Why is Apple acting like an asshole?
Apple isn't one person any longer, just Steve. There are thousands of Apple employees following guidelines set by other hundreds of other managers and executives who don't know what they are doing.
lcnmrn··on Firefox 80 and my confusion over its hardware accelerated video on Linux
I see two parallel processes here: "decode video and render it" and interpret JavaScript/WASM at every frame.
lcnmrn··on 5G Just Got Weird
Can we skip 5G already?
lcnmrn··on Del.icio.us
I'm doing the same thing with Subreply against Facebook, Twitter, Gab, Mastodon. There are others like me: GoatCounter, Micro.blog, Midnight.pub, Lobste.rs, etc.
lcnmrn··on IBM looking for 12 years’ experience in Kubernetes administration
Probably just time dilation from those quantum computers IBM is working on.
lcnmrn··on Palm – The best small phone for minimalists, athletes, and kids
XZ1 Compact dimensions with an edge to edge screen makes a lot of sense to me. I need some screen real estate to read stuff. For you maybe a Nokia N9 with edge to edge screen would work because it's smaller. I read and wrote this from Opera on XZ1C.
lcnmrn··on Palm – The best small phone for minimalists, athletes, and kids
Sony should bring back XZ1 Compact form factor. I use XZ1C daily, it's perfect for everything.
lcnmrn··on Quit whining about Apple and just stop using them
By not using Android you're missing a lot of good free apps that don't display ads.
lcnmrn··on Reuters killed their RSS feeds?
I used to include their RSS feeds on radfi.com and now I have to find a replacement for them.
lcnmrn··on Apple is threatening to terminate my developer account with no clear reason
We need third party app stores and there should be a section on the Apple App Store dedicated for installing these.
lcnmrn··on Apple Mail randomly becomes the frontmost application in macOS
I keep it minimized to avoid the issue and to get notifications.
lcnmrn··on Strava cuts off leaderboard for free users, reduces third party apps
I switched to Runkeeper 5 years ago. It just works.
lcnmrn··on If I could bring one thing back to the internet it would be blogs
I'm working on Pressdown https://github.com/lucianmarin/pressdown to do just that, bring back blogs on a easy to setup and use CMS. It's inspired from Jekyll and has less to do with WordPress.
lcnmrn··on Podcasts are my new Wikipedia
I prefer Reader Mode in Firefox and the Narrate feature, it turns every web article in a podcast. Samantha voice on macOS is real enough and speeding it up to 150% is faster than reading the article.
lcnmrn··on Shell Productivity Tips and Tricks
I like fd more. fish already has autocomplete.
lcnmrn··on Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 Moving into General Availability
With scoop.sh we don't need WSL1/2 any longer on Windows, except for when we want a real VM.
lcnmrn··on Colornames.org – A collaborative effort to name all 16.7M colors
They should have named 12-bit (4096), 15-bit (32768) and 18-bit (262144) color spaces first then the 24-bit (16.7M) color space. It's easier for humans to manage smaller data sets at first.
lcnmrn··on Not everyone has an internal monologue
When picturing things or dreaming I assign colors by the shape of things.
lcnmrn··on Fortran.io – a Fortran Web Framework
Pascal web framework?
lcnmrn··on Progress of anti-aging therapies by clinical trial stage
But it's not actually AI, it's just programmable probability.
lcnmrn··on ClickLock: A Mac menu bar app that locks your screen with just one click
System Preferences > Mission Control > Hot Corners... > Lock Screen

or System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > Lock Screen (Cmd+Shift+L)

or Add Lock Screen to Touch Bar.

lcnmrn··on Jimmy Wales has quietly launched a Facebook rival
Well, https://dubfi.com/ is there already and it's free. And yes, it's coded by me.
lcnmrn··on 16-inch MacBook Pro
I don't understand why they don't let users remap Fn keys in System Preferences. That will pretty much replace 90% of Touch Bar use cases.
lcnmrn··on Python should take a lesson from APL: Walrus operator not needed
:= wasn't needed. = is just fine.
lcnmrn··on My Favourite Git Commit
Someone typed and commited that whitespace character on purpose.
lcnmrn··on Apple: We're not handing over Safari URLs to Tencent, just IP addresses
Apple should rely on its own server to check for safe browsing lists with Tencent, Google and other providers. An Apple API that encapsulates these external APIs.
