This is a great deep dive! I am curious how difficult/slow it is to extend the modern xterm interface. For example, I saw that some terminals now support squiggly underlines for errors. What would it take to build a terminal (and associated interface) that supported things like text size? (Of course it would break a lot of applications that treat the screen as a two dimensional grid)
Last time I used warp it also wasn't super customizable. I like messing with the prompt and stuff. I wonder if that's changed. I did get a t-shirt from them for doing a user interview though :)
For a mainstream press article about science, it's pretty good. I do wish they had touched on the failure of recent experiment to verify some of the theoretical particles predicted by the standard model.
Careful... This hobby will make you spend hundreds of hours personalizing and perfecting your layout, changing keycaps and switches, trying new board shapes and so on. I've only been part of it for a month 💀
I really love PowerPoint. I feel like the automatic snapping features and general polish allow me to make very pretty slides
with a high level of control, and it feels way better to use than e.g. web-based alternatives. Admittedly, I haven't tried a foss alternative in years.
Since this issue is most prevalent while browsing new, you could temporarily store (a hash of) the titles and contents of each post during a given browsing session, and if a post matches another post on the same page (e.g. one set of posts from Everything/new), hide it and allow the user to see comments from each instance of the post when they view the canonical (earliest, or most active, or returned first) post.
If another duplicate post is later loaded (through scrolling) the post could be hidden and replaced with a smaller indicator telling the user a duplicate post has been detected, and they can click it to view the comments.
I am not an AirVPN user, but you might want to look for whether AirVPN supports filtering traffic based on port numbers, and then you can set a fixed port in your torrent client which AirVPN will always route through the VPN (and allow other traffic such as DNS and HTTPS to go around it).
Some VPNs support app-based split tunneling (such as Mullvad), but it seems from a quick search that AirVPN doesn't. But if it supports port based filters, you can accomplish the same thing.
Regardless of if this is intentionally designed to be misleading, a stack of sliders is the wrong way to show portions of a whole. I wonder what a better way would be for the web? A single slider with multiple knobs? Or like a single stacked bar with draggable boundaries between sections? I bet you could accomplish that with multiple sliders and some CSS to make them look like a single thing
In the statement from the NGO they threaten legal action. Is there grounds/precedent for such a thing? Don't you use open source code at your own risk?
