  • They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust.

  • Wikipedia is like our dear friend. It gives us general information, good advice, and direction in life, but never gets too deeply in it. The choice is ours to make.

  • If programming languages were weapons. Old but gold.

  • Then you have Clojure - a machine gun that shoots shivs.

  • Introducing the Proton Calendar Search Feature

    Jump

  • Search is made possible by creating a local index of your events and storing it on your device. When you search for an event, the app goes through the index of your downloaded events and highlights all matches.

    Awesome, it took a while due to the nature of end-to-end encryption. Now my subscription for Proton Unlimited is a bit more worthy. :)

  • ‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google

    Jump

  • So Reddit would go from a social open hub, the "front page of the Internet", to a walled garden? Ridiculous.

  • Outbound Federation Bug

    Jump

  • This :) I made a question post and I've had only my one upvote for 2 days.

  • Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode

    Jump

  • Emacs will be there for you, once vscode Windows gets abandoned.

    FTFY.

  • Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode

    Jump

  • Just the matter of taste. For some users who want to get to code quickly, they use VSCode without the hassle. For some power users who want to have extreme extensibility, they use Emacs/Vim.

  • I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.

  • What is your favorite programming language?

    Jump

  • Clojure. It's just fun to write.

    Firstly, it's functional and "Lispy". My code is super expressive. Writing code is like writing prose where I can choose a word (function) from a large vocabulary [1]. I can focus on high-level concepts and modifying states instead of fighting with low-level logic.

    Secondly, it runs on JVM - an already robust and performant platform.

    And there are so many good things that I cannot simply write in some words. The father of Clojure, Rich Hickey, is a genius in expressing Clojure's design. You should check out some of his talks [2].

    Too bad that Clojure is too "niche" that I haven't got a chance to make a living by writing Clojure, yet. But learning it is one of the best decisions I've ever made in my career. Yes, it's that good.

  • I don't want Meta AI in WhatsApp, even if it doesn't snoop on my texts

  • Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext.

    Jump

  • Good advice only for tech-savvy and people who are interested in self-hosting. There's so many things that can go wrong like improper backups and accidental networking problems.

  • Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024 with listeners migrated to YouTube Music

    Jump

  • Why is Google trying to follow the model of Spotify even though the model is not really successful? I hate when browsing my music in Spotify some podcast pops up. I just want to listen to my music, dammit!

  • May I ask why?

    Personally, I find its UI/UX is annoying. The quality of the sound is awesome, though.

  • Google killing Basic HTML version of Gmail In January 2024

    Jump

  • This, for example I love Proton Pass so far. I completely replaced my Bitwarden with Proton Pass. It (Proton Pass) has built-in 2FA authenticator, password generator, Firefox extension, and email generator to hide my email address.

    Not happy with Proton Calendar (pretty basic) or Proton Drive (doesn't support auto-sync, yet) but I'm patiently waiting for them.

    Jump

  • +1 for Proton Mail. The other day I have switched to Proton (from another mail provider in Germany) and love it so far. I can even use a language to customise my filter [1], how cool that is!

    Not in a million year that I will come back to Gmail.

  • LISP is ugly

    Jump

  • Code aesthetic: If your code looks like a triangle, you're seriously doing something wrong.

  • Any good alternative for Google Photos?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the cool option. But I just checked, and it seems like there's no way I can set up a QuickConnect ID without a real Synology hardware. I'm a nomad so buying a physical Disk Station is not my preference.
