Summershard··on Show HN: Time Cop – A simple, private, open-source time tracking app
On Windows I recommend Baralga. It's quite old, UI is simple, and it just works. It's still maintained.

Summershard··on TikTok told moderators to suppress posts by “ugly” people and the poor
Maybe it works that way, because users prefer to follow pretty people.
Summershard··on NPM Is Joining GitHub
> Microsoft Teams (Microsofts's surprisingly better clone of Slack)

Personal experience, but I have not found a single person who likes MS Teams. Usually people around me say that Slack is ok-ish, while MS Teams is crap.

Summershard··on Koenigsegg’s 2.0-liter no-camshaft engine makes 600 horsepower
You may be living in a US bubble. Tesla in many countries is still expensive, not that popular, and electric cars infrastructure is just bad.
Summershard··on Firefox is showing the way back to a world that’s private by default
They block certain results because of that, and there is no option to disable that. That's a big no to me. How do I know what results do they consider moral enough to show me?
Summershard··on Markdeep – plain text documents with diagrams, equations, and Markdown syntax
I strongly dislike projects that don't have a visible demo page. How do I even know if I like this without setting everything up first?
Summershard··on Google backtracks on search results design
Well, it does use Bing as its backend. Not solely though.
Summershard··on What happened to Mint?
The best non-US service I've found is Everypocket[1]. It almost seems like a glorified Excel, but it's just so simple. Unfortunately, it looks like the dev has abandoned the project. He doesn't respond on his own subreddit[2] anymore.

I prefer the so-called zero-based budgeting. I dislike YNAB though.

Summershard··on Roam: Why I Love It and How I Use It
> I believe the founder mentioned that they will eventually allow you to encrypt your data.

Well, as soon as the encryption comes this product will be usable. Giving my personal data to a non open source note taking project without any encryption capabilities is a big no.

Summershard··on Thank HN: You helped me get a new job
I've always thought that part of that culture is remuneration. People in IT sector are more likely to earn well nowadays than most jobs. When one doesn't have to worry about money it's easier to be kind, helpful and open-minded.
Summershard··on Show HN: Write a private diary using good old email
But that's the point of ProtonMail. All your data is invisible to them. If you could use IMAP without a bridge app, which encrypts and decrypts all your mail data locally, guys at Proton could read your mails. Not necessarily because they would want to. That's just how email works.
Summershard··on Maybe You Don't Need Kubernetes (2019)
Scheduler Extender was initially released over 4 years ago[1]. What you are referring to is Scheduling Framework[2], which indeed is a new feature (and will replace/contain Scheduler Extender).

EDIT: formatting

Summershard··on Maybe You Don't Need Kubernetes (2019)
True. I'm currently in the middle of writing a paper on extending Kubernetes Scheduler through Scheduler Extender[1]. The process has been really painful.

Summershard··on Firefly III – Self-hosted financial manager
Does anybody know a FOSS zero-based budgeting software? GnuCash or Firefly are great double-entry systems, but for personal budgeting I prefer YNAB or Everypocket styles.
