bradyo··on If you get rich, you won’t quit working for long
This is very cool information. It's too bad his vision never came to fruition. On the contrary, Stanford grads seems really bought into the capitalistic system.
bradyo··on De-Googleify Internet
There's always Gigablast (gigablast.com)! And it'd be sweet if YaCy (yacy.net) took off.
bradyo··on Ask HN: Is there an “open source” version of zapier?
There are a few listed at https://alternativeto.net/software/zapier/?license=opensourc.... Huggin has a big community.
bradyo··on Pebble's next step
Pretty sure this is still under active development, but it's supposed to be a completely open fitness tracker: http://openhealth.wemaketotem.org/

There's also the FOSS smart watch OS Asteroid OS: http://asteroidos.org/

bradyo··on Signal for Beginners
Except is rather everyone be using an open source, minimal logging version of WhatsApp
bradyo··on MicroG Project: A re-implementation of Google's Android apps and libraries
To be fair, Moxie appears to have been right at the time of writing the linked comment according to the commit timestamp. Thanks to you (and the comment or above for the link) for pointing this out though. TIL. The documentation does say it is unlikely and other documentation has not been updated to point to this feature, such as the developer FAQ: https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/FAQ_-_App_Developers#Can_APKs_...

This is a very clean and straightforward article demonstrating how to do it! Nice work.

The whole thread is a good read too haha

bradyo··on MicroG Project: A re-implementation of Google's Android apps and libraries
the Izzy on droid blog has a series of posts about it: https://android.izzysoft.de/articles/named/android-without-g...

Edit: The series is a little out of date, but should give you the general idea. ROMs that are probably new since that article was published that have no google dependencies are Replicant (entirely libre), OmniROM, Copperhead OS, and CyanagenMod w/ a no-gapps-script.

What does breaking a terms of service mean legally though? Like they're spoofing the signatures so it all appears to google that it's the same, so I'm not sure how they'd enforce it?

I don't think f-droid will accept apps that have a requirement on the Google play services framework, even if you can somehow reproducibly compile against the microg version instead.

But it does mean you can install apps on the play store that have a dependency on gsf but are otherwise open-source (e.g. maps.me, signal, tomahawk).

bradyo··on Instapaper Premium is now free for everyone
Just use wallabag. Its the FOSS / optionally self-hosted alternative. Haven't we learned what storing data in proprietary services leads to?

You should check out wallabag. It's a FOSS alternative to these services. Can self-hosted it or use framabag hosting already set up for you. Build upon it as much as you want!
bradyo··on Disrupting Uber
What is so hard to understand about this? These drivers could create an app that results in the exact same price for consumers, except that any profits go to the drivers instead of Travis Kalanick's pocket.
bradyo··on Show HN: PlateJoy (YC S15) – Algorithmic meal planner with integrated delivery
I tried simulating this by checking Clean Eating and either checking off the pre-populated meats or searching for meats I could think of and selecting all results and plenty of recipes came up, so it seems like these two dietary restrictions should be allowed to be chosen at the same time.

Also, I checked off the pre-populated "Beef" option and a recipe came up for breakfast involving sausage and another came up for dinner involving Filet Mignon.

bradyo··on Show HN: PlateJoy (YC S15) – Algorithmic meal planner with integrated delivery
This is great. It seems that I can't select multiple dietary requirements though (like vegetarian and clean eating). On Firefox mobile. Is that intentional or are some of the dietary requirement s non-compatible?

Also, is there any way to specify I'd like to meal prep more than just sharing a dinner with the next day's leftovers? E.g. Make a weeks worth of meals at once by scaling a particular recipe? I suppose I could do that myself buy having the software advise my grocery list would be awesome.

bradyo··on Tripadvisor now lets users rate flights like hotels
sleepinginairports.net focuses on, well, sleeping in airports but it also has guides and amenity/facility lists for most airports world wide
bradyo··on Google Play Music – free, ad-supported radio
Internally, they actually had this responsive at one point, where the menu would be by default open on large screens and hidden with the option to expand it on smaller screens. Also not sure why they changed it.
bradyo··on Google Play Music – free, ad-supported radio
On Linux, check out Nuvola player (https://github.com/tiliado/nuvolaplayer) - it basically wraps the web UI and provides integration with global media keys / shortcuts and the underlying sound menu (in Ubuntu). As a plus, it integrates with other cloud music streaming services too.

There's also Tomahawk (https://www.tomahawk-player.org/) but I found it a bit too buggy, and unable to canonicalize songs across the streaming music providers.
