danmur··on Monica: Open-source personal relationship manager
Is the Chandler name a reference to the Chandler PIM?
danmur··on Meta fires a software engineer two days after he relocated from India to Canada
Responsible companies will make these situations right even where the law doesn't specifically require it. Hope that's what will happen.
danmur··on WeChat users are handwriting apologies to get their banned accounts back
You don't really need a YouTube account though. Not saying it doesn't suck, but you don't need it to buy groceries. Don't even need a Google account.

Plus IMO Google aren't trying to censor your speech, they just have asinine systems and zero customer support.

danmur··on Show HN: I'm trying to guess your personality by your comments with an NLP model
That one claims I like Nioh, which is a damn lie. Maybe it confuses like with white hot rage.
danmur··on Infosys asked HR not to hire 'Indian-origin candidates', 'women with children'
I dunno what other industries are like but I've interviewed quite a few software engineers this year and only had a couple women apply. I don't have much of an opinion on hiring incentives but it seems like focusing on the education system would be more effective.
danmur··on Telefunc: Remote Functions instead of API
This would be a good contrast, rather than a vulnerability being hidden for years in rarely-updated software, you get a vulnerability that sneaks in without you knowing you've updated anything.
danmur··on Adobe to acquire Figma for $20B
I can hear the collective wailing of a million designers, like obi-wan when Alderaan got nuked
danmur··on Django 4.1
I just make normal money and I don't want to have lunch with Jeff Bezos. Maybe in this scenario you lose money each time you hear it and you're so in debt that Jeff Bezos has basically purchased you :P.
danmur··on The Unofficial Simpsons Cookbook
All I saw was 50 different types of cookies
danmur··on Logitech MX Products are incompatible with AirPods
Mine get knocked out by cats running over my desk sometimes, that must count as interference
danmur··on Thunderbird 102
I use this one and can definitely recommend it: https://www.beonex.com/owl/

Works very well, calendar too

danmur··on First triangle ever rendered on an M1 Mac with a fully open-source driver
Yesss, let the hate flow through you!
danmur··on First triangle ever rendered on an M1 Mac with a fully open-source driver
Surprised there's not an NFT of it :P
danmur··on Elon Musk Tesla email: Remote work is no longer acceptable
I wonder if it's ambiguous to the exec team as well and they're all hurriedly trying to guess what it means
danmur··on The Story of Heroku
Lots of developers just weren't/aren't good at deploying things, I don't think Ruby was any more difficult personally.
danmur··on Plans to Re-enable the GitHub Integration
They could use the access again without revealing how they got it. Double nitpick!
danmur··on FTC fines Twitter $150M for using 2FA phone numbers for ad targeting
Bitwarden (and probably others) store the TOTP secrets and are persistent. This isn't a recommendation per se, I'm not sure how I feel about it being stored in the cloud, but it is a bit friendlier.
danmur··on Symbian Source Code
My MC218 still works, pretty crazy. I had the IR modem for it too but lost it somewhere.
danmur··on AutoAnimate – Add motion to web apps with a single line of code
The first example on the page is actually decent I think, visually showing the two elements swapping so you see where they moved to, but making it so automatic is going to be an irresistible temptation for many people.
danmur··on VoCore – Coin-Sized Linux Computer
I want to know too, it's driving me crazy
danmur··on Liberating out-of-copyright photos from SmartFrame's DRM
Oooh, or electrolysis!
danmur··on Web Scraping with Python
I think it's a pretty good article personally, sounds like the complaint is just about the title :P
danmur··on Own your calendar and contacts with OpenBSD, Baïkal, and FOSS Android
Nextcloud is pretty low maintenance in my experience, at least for a few users doing fairly normal things. I've been running it for about 1.5 years (calendar, tasks, documents) and haven't needed to do anything except bump versions.
danmur··on Nota: A Document Language for the Browser
Thanks, it's very cool :)
danmur··on Nota: A Document Language for the Browser
Cool language, I wish it wasn't react though. I guess there's more interactivity possible than shown in the demos; the only thing I've seen are popups for terms. Don't really need react for that.
danmur··on Pages that didn't make it into “How DNS Works”
Not about this either unfortunately: https://bind.zone/
danmur··on Apple is discontinuing the iPod
Most of the time when advertising says "while stocks last" it's not an indication that something has been discontinued, it's just a prompt to make you want to buy one.
danmur··on Apple’s Self Service Repair now available
"Genuine Apple parts and tools can now be purchased by US customers" it's great us non-US people know though, kudos to them :)
danmur··on Panic Playdate In-Depth Review
I was thinking of getting a steam deck, is it no good? (I have not followed the hype so my mind is open)
danmur··on Things I can’t do on macOS which I can do on Ubuntu (2020)
So much angst in this thread! I'm going to bed.
