They pinky promise they don't maintain these relationships. Maybe even they really don't. But they have the ability to, if they were to change their mind, and that's the problem.

Use secure protocols which don't give anyone that ability.

Private trackers have REQ section for asking for content and setting a bounty.

That's not the same at all. Archivebox would do the trick if it was pre-populated with every page Google Search has in its index.

Fuck them, but it's not like anything changes for people who currently watch ads, or who pay for Premium. It's us who they're fighting, and we don't generate any income.

I use a single plastic bag for few months, it fits in a back pocket if you fold it nicely, and it's rainproof. All the fabric ones make a bulge in the pocket or don't fit at all.

Plot thickens

Trail Sense, it's all the "survival" tools in one great package. Do I use it often? No. Does it feel like unwrapping my favourite toy every time I open it? Absolutely.

Anyone else wondering what that bed notification is?

Fair enough

But the trick with these is, in order to check email they need to connect you to the internet, even if just for a minute. If you just need the internet to sync the latest IMs and emails, that is good enough.

Connect again in 3 months when you forget

But I don't want to learn. I want the machine to free me from tedious tasks I already know how to do. There's no learning experience in creating a Wordpress plugin or a shell script.

That's the point, it's not flashy but everything loads instantly and you get work done in no time. 2000s style.

I haven't had any problems with redmine itself but with dependencies and the Ruby runtime.

And if you're saying I don't have enough experience to make claims about Ruby dep management, I can say the same about you Python. Works flawlessly for me.

Yeah, phones are a lost case.

I'd like to use good GUI programs designed for using with a keyboard, but it seems touch UI is the main theme for bigger developers these days, and keyboard is an afterthought at best

Since when is it not okay to have an opinion on how you'd like your computer to work? You're saying it as if usability was an objective truth, not a preference of majority of users. People are different, everyone is talking about neurodiversity, and you're saying that loving lowest common denominator UIs are the only acceptable opinion in the light of objective facts.

Thankfully, the normies are moving away from computer and maybe the ecosystem will heal in our lifetimes 🤞

https://www.redmine.org/ is a standard rails webapp. Nothing special. Straightforward to update, just a few commands, the only quirk is that at least one step always fails. Some obscure bug in a dependency, some problem with expected vs installed system libraries, or my favourite, a Segmentation Fault.

I'm not donating to them because of where the money goes. Would donate to Firefox the moment it becomes possible.
