why?
pedrogpimenta··on Ask HN: How long until Google charges for private Gmail accounts?
Moving away from Gmail is an hassle, but it's ultimately eady. What I can't do without is Maps. There's no real alternative (I don't know about Apple Maps, don't own an iPhone), nothing gets even close to Google Maps.
pedrogpimenta··on Analog Television Simulation
Maybe it's the fact that it isn't really a tube screen, it's in fact a simulation of one through a modern screen. But thanks for such a constructive comment.
pedrogpimenta··on Gemini is Solutionism
Yet you are clearly not ignoring it.
pedrogpimenta··on Tell HN: Reddit was showing “Blocked” when accessed with Firefox
Yes but it's not complete in any way. You can't login, you can't comment, post or save your subreddits.

You can only see subreddits and comments.

But it is my daily driver.

It's at https://reddit.pimenta.co

pedrogpimenta··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2022 – Show and tell
Not really, because the O is only open when alone, or a longer word. This reads Óku, not Uku. At least that's how I read it being Portuguese.

The defunct social network Orkut is a good example of this. It's Órkut, not Urkut.

Of course, none of this matters :)

pedrogpimenta··on Tell HN: Reddit was showing “Blocked” when accessed with Firefox
Indeed. It sucks so much I built my own :)
pedrogpimenta··on Tell HN: Reddit was showing “Blocked” when accessed with Firefox
For a while now, Firefox blocks requests to reddit.com when visiting other websites. I mean, if domain.com sends a request to reddit.com, it gets blocked through the Enhanced Tracking Protection thingie. I know this because I built a front-end for reddit and I have to turn Enhanced Tracking Protection off for the domain.
pedrogpimenta··on Lagrange: A desktop GUI client for Gemini
It's OK not to like it. We don't want your negativity there anyway :)
pedrogpimenta··on Netlify Drop
Last company I worked for pushed me on multiple occasions to install an FTP extension for VSCode that would upload files on save. Glad I got out, everything was a nightmare there.
pedrogpimenta··on Why did the web take over desktop and not mobile?
Same with Medium, can only see posts on Incognito mode...
pedrogpimenta··on Why did the web take over desktop and not mobile?
You must be using a different reddit website, the one I know is horrible. It's slow, it's buggy, videos don't always work without a refresh after waiting 10 seconds to be able to click play. The UI is all wrong:

for example, you open the comments of a post, it opens a faux-modal with a X button. You tap it, it closes the post but opens the subreddit. It doesn't go back to where you were.

Another example is how to collapse a thread on the comments you need to press the empty space beside the username?!?!

It's so slow and wrong that I've built my own front-end, but it's virtually impossible to load reddit videos correctly...

pedrogpimenta··on The open calendar, task and note space is a mess
Well, Dribbble itself is 11 years old so the "dribbblisation" of design as a concept couldn't be older than a decade.

Obligatory comment about how you must be great at parties.
pedrogpimenta··on Ask HN: Where can I live off 1k USD per month?
I love your country, your people and your food. I've been several times and considered living there (ultimately, plans changed). By all means, promote it. But not with lies. Corruption is a big problem in Romania: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Romania
pedrogpimenta··on Sailfish 4
I don't think so, the model numbers are specified:

> Sony Xperia X Single SIM (F5121) > Sony Xperia X Dual SIM (F5122)

Get the compact model's number to check.

pedrogpimenta··on Apple closing down internal Slack channels where employees debate remote work
Because things can change. If it weren't for these talks and changes, we would still be working in horrible conditions because "that's what it was when I was hired and it was very clear this is the way to do it and I have agreed to this".
pedrogpimenta··on Google Translate pronounces 'rooster' in Spanish
"polla un garabato doo" is the literal translation. "garabato" means "doodle", "doo" doesn't have a translation, "polla" means "cock", but surprisingly, the totally slang way of "cock" as in dick or penis.

The correct translation is "¡qui-qui-ri-quí!" which is the sound a rooster makes.

What's the problem with the Dock?
pedrogpimenta··on Ampache: An open source web based audio/video streaming app and file manager
The UI is pretty good by modern standards, the existing features work very well, it is very stable IMHO (at least with my 9300+ songs), it is very easy to install.

I have tried 'em all and I'm sticking with Navidrome!

Edit: I forgot, it's fast on a Raspberry Pi 3B, which some aren't.

pedrogpimenta··on Show HN: Neverinstall – A platform to bring desktop applications to the browser
I think people that have low power machines will also have slow internet (with exceptions, of course)
pedrogpimenta··on Full Throttle
That last line is pure joy :)
pedrogpimenta··on Reviews of Android TV launcher after Google added ads to the homescreen
As is with everything like the uproar Facebook as had with their changes. They even admit it with "we will not apply these changes for now" becauae they know it will die out.

That's why we need alternatives.

pedrogpimenta··on Sorry, we replaced that old technology, “see-through glass”
Ads.
pedrogpimenta··on Minims
There are some aggregators for this kind of discoverability, but there's nothing like this currently, no.

Hey, how about setting one up? :)

pedrogpimenta··on Minims
Maybe, but I said nothing about that, only answered to the comment and gave an opinion about what the person said, not about the original link that sparked that discussion.
pedrogpimenta··on Mastershot – Web based video editor
Ah, so it's a sarcasm-based comment, not a thoughtful one.
pedrogpimenta··on Minims
Hey, give Gemini (https://gemini.circumlunar.space/) a chance. Things like https://cosmic.voyage/ make me happy to just browse stuff, read some stuff, have fun, not just consuming random posts on reddit.
pedrogpimenta··on Minims
This is silly. I love it.
pedrogpimenta··on Twitter confirms Twitter Blue
I know, I understand it, I thought that too. It's just my opinion, I still think it's a silly name.
