anderber··on App Should Have Been a Website (and Probably Your Game Too)
Safari has always hampered PWAs, and probably for the reason that they want you to use the appstore instead ($$$).
anderber··on Bluesky is ushering in a pick-your-own algorithm era of social media
You can still see the content, right? So it's just a label, it seems.
anderber··on uBlock Origin is no longer available on Chrome web store
I'm not sure why it would be in their own interest to be the only ad blocker. What do they gain by not allowing other ad blockers?
anderber··on Brazil's X ban is sending lots of people to Bluesky
I think you missed adding the "/s" at the end of your sentence. I can only imagine you're kidding.
anderber··on Telegram boss banned from leaving France in criminal probe
UAF itself is on Telegram. I think that their decision to not use a social media type app for war inter-communication makes sense. Not matter what country you are in.
anderber··on Chrome is entrenching third-party cookies that will mislead users
Curious about what needs you had that Brave didn't fill?
anderber··on Ocean 2.0 Reader
Ocean is a custom ebook reader designed for exploration and study of the sacred literature of the world's religious traditions. It provides a simple cross-platform reading experience with an immersive audio-integrated reading experience and useful study and research tools.
anderber··on Telegram boss banned from leaving France in criminal probe
I believe so are Ukrainian forces.
anderber··on Moments in Chromecast's history
Technically, the controller can also be used as a Bluetooth controller.
anderber··on Rust on Dreamcast
The Dreamcast was such a great console that was the ultimate hackable piece of hardware for a kid. Super interesting why it didn't become bigger.
anderber··on Supreme Court rules ex-presidents have immunity for official acts
But each party will protect their president, and you need a two-thirds to impeach. I just don't see the modern senate ever impeaching a President. We've seen today how far they will go to ignore reality and lie to make sure their leader doesn't suffer any consequences.
anderber··on Making the Kinopio source code public
I love Kinopio and I really appreciate being able to look around the code and perhaps even help make it better. Hopefully, this will spur innovations and new updates.
anderber··on Steve Jackson Games, Inc. vs. United States Secret Service (1993)
This hits me with the nostalgia of playing GURPS with friends. GURPS Cyberpunk being one of my favorites.
anderber··on Spotify is increasing US prices again
I've found that Deezer and Apple's discovery to be equally good. But then again, this is very personal in how good it is.
anderber··on Spotify is increasing US prices again
Part of the reason I use Deezer, it focuses on Music (for the most part). I can also upload my purchases from Bandcamp.
anderber··on Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died
Companies are people ʅ(°_°)ʃ
anderber··on FCC votes to restore net neutrality rules
I'd say 50/50
anderber··on Porn restrictions are leading to a VPN boom
I've been using Windscribe for several years and have no problem at all with them.

ControlD[1] will do that for you. 1. https://controld.com/
anderber··on Apple TV's Fantastic "Silo" Plays Out Like Great Sci-Fi Literature (2023)
For anyone who liked Silo, I'd recommend a quirky sci-fi from 1980's Poland called Sexmission [1]. Similarly, they live underground and try to escape. Fascinating ending too, and I wonder how it matches with what will happen in Silo.

anderber··on Mastodon for Android Update
I love the continued work that Mastodon has put into making it easier for everyone to use their platform.
anderber··on The day I canceled my Spotify subscription
Deezer is really great, not enough people talk about it. It has a simple and great homepage, you can upload your own MP3s, playlists are still mostly human curated, it has a shazam-like feature built in, the playlist management is the best, and the recommendations are second only to perhaps Spotify.
anderber··on The day I canceled my Spotify subscription
Deezer is actually a great replacement and competitor to Spotify. I like that their playlists are still human curated.
anderber··on The day I canceled my Spotify subscription
You might like Deezer, it's very similar to Spotify but with the added bonus of being able to upload your own MP3s.
anderber··on “Wherever you get your podcasts” is a radical statement
I think one big difference is that Youtube Music allows users to add RSS feeds, keeping that option open for podcasters. While Spotify would rather not add this feature because it wants all podcasts to go through their platform.
anderber··on .ai website registrations are a windfall for tiny Anguilla
Notion for some reason still use Somalia (.so)
anderber··on ICJ orders Israel to prevent genocide in Gaza, stops short of ordering ceasefire
Hard for them not to when there were missiles fired at them the day of this ruling. It would be difficult for them to not pursuit the removal of Hamas. Although, I agree that they have been heavy-handed in their operations.
anderber··on IRS Free File is now available for the 2024 filing season
I think the issue is that our taxes are so complex that we have to pay a 3rd-party to do it for most of us.
anderber··on Ask HN: Would you fly on a Boeing 737 MAX?
If I had no options, yes. However, since there are plenty of options, I will be avoiding it.
anderber··on United Airlines CEO says the airline will consider alternatives to Boeing
Same here, I'd love to fly on an A380. I've flow plenty 747s as a kid, and I have great memories of them. The last one I flew was an A330-neo that I thought was really nice as well. Looking forward to fly the new Embraer E190 at some point.
