nerd7473··on Show HN: Slim – Build and run tiny VMs from Dockerfiles
A neat idea
nerd7473··on Introducing a new HTML element – welcome <clippy>
If I don't like something, I'm going to talk about it. The plusses, and the minuses. You can't have everything in life and that is the way I veiw everything (although that has little to do with these odd new html tags).
nerd7473··on WeChat is Watching: Living in China with the app that knows everything about me
I love a regular serving of six cups of almost dark coffee. I can't stand real sweet foods as my sense of taste is overwhelmingly strong (yeah I have sensory issues, it's part of life for me).
nerd7473··on WeChat is Watching: Living in China with the app that knows everything about me
Absolutely right, people need to get up off their asses (sorry) if they want coffee.
nerd7473··on Japan outlaws flying drones while drunk
Never heard that one...
nerd7473··on Microsoft Alternatives project (MAlt): Taking back control using open software
I agree with you there. It's an important service that was orginally created by the military (though I'm not sure which one).
nerd7473··on Desktop Neo – rethinking the desktop interface for productivity
I don't think this is a good idea.
nerd7473··on Matrix 1.0 and the Matrix.org Foundation
Matrix really is an awesome clinet/service. Really glad this Matrix exists and allows for security and privacy.
nerd7473··on GrapheneOS – A privacy and security-focused mobile OS with Android compatibility
I'm really excited for it. I also have my eyes on the Pine phone project.
nerd7473··on GrapheneOS – A privacy and security-focused mobile OS with Android compatibility
I need to try this, I also need to get a Librem 5, and build my project for it. Anyone know of any good projects for replacing google services with FOSS services that do the same basic things?
nerd7473··on Kill Instant Messaging
Exactly!
nerd7473··on Let's make them pay for using our personal data
Although the idea sounds nice, I think it's impractical. Large companies don't care about you, they care about profit...
nerd7473··on Breaking the physical limits of fonts
This is really cool.
nerd7473··on Google CEO Defends YouTube Practices
Thay seems to be a problem nowadays, title text conflicting with article content... I wonder why? More views?
nerd7473··on Kill Instant Messaging
You have a point there. Although it is good to at least reach out and speak to others once in a while.
nerd7473··on The Open Source Seed Initiative
I never have been big on planting, and didn't really know theee was an issue with companies holding large amounts of seeds...
nerd7473··on Fortune 500 company leaked 264GB in client, payment data
I wish companies were responsible, open, and honest.
nerd7473··on Blender Is Free Software
Blender is one of those projects that even people who aren't into FOSS have at least heard of. It's pretty nifty!
nerd7473··on Opera, Brave, Vivaldi to ignore Chrome's anti-ad-blocker changes
Good news :D

I need to check this out!
nerd7473··on GnuCash: Open-source double-entry accounting software
I use GNU Cash all the time! It's simple and does what you tell it to :)
nerd7473··on Japan eyes legislation to regulate global IT giants
I wonder how this could affect other countries' IT infrastructure? Seems interesting, and needed.
nerd7473··on Microsoft’s ‘mixed reality’ headsets are a bit of a mixed bag
Isn't Microsoft jumbled anyways? In my opinion they're just wanting to get third hands in everything...
nerd7473··on Catching the Great American Eclipse at 35,000 Feet
Who's ready for the next one?
nerd7473··on Despite privacy outrage, AccuWeather still shares location data with ad firms
Why can't we all use FOSS? Oh yeah, people are greedy...
nerd7473··on DIY Powerwall Builders Are Using Recycled Laptop Batteries to Power Their Homes
Sounds interesting
nerd7473··on Google Issuing Refunds to Advertisers Over Fake Traffic, Plans New Safeguard
Not compromised... But you know what I mean.... :/
nerd7473··on Google Issuing Refunds to Advertisers Over Fake Traffic, Plans New Safeguard
You'd hope that Google would be better at such... Oh well, everything is compromised eventually.
