> Do you really want there to be licenses for other industries as well?

Yes. I'm surprised that business licenses aren't already a thing.

I expect a competent government to issue licenses to barbers based off them proving hygiene standards, trained staff with college diplomas in hair-dressing, number of employees, and an extremely limited number of these to be issued based off local need calculated from population by census.

I expect local government to issue similar licenses for all other industries, who should prove their competency, adherence to standards, jobs created, and cater to local needs.

I agree that websites should be printable. I'm a fan of RSS and eInk displays (Kindles, and when I can afford one, a PC monitor), and printable websites would make using them on paper-like displays easier.

I've been using the PrintFriendly [1] browser extension for years (to print otherwise unprintable websites), but it gotten worse, so while looking at alternatives I started with The Printliminator [2] (which uses the Haartija CSS framework [3]) and have currently ended up using CopyAsMarkdown [4] (with Pandoc) and WebToEpub [5]

"Package manager"-like behaviour like this is evil. Importing software/code at runtime from the internet (like Apt, Go, Pacman, Pip, NPM, etc.) is the equivalent of those dreadful online stub installer packages, and it's impressive it's as trusted a mechanism as it is.

Leave the Go code or Linux distro to link-rot for a couple decades and all imports like this will be dead or serving malware, leaving the software unusable.

By leaking American info, Snowden painted a target on his back that can be reached by the USA and all allies with extradition agreements. That leaves him with very few superpowers who won't hand him over to the FBI/CIA and execution or imprisonment.

If I were in his shoes, I too would relocate to a superpower not allied with the USA and avoid getting involved in anything political over there.

I use Betula (https://codeberg.org/bouncepaw/betula/) for this purpose of a self-hosted personal Google (for websites).

(For file search, I use voidtools' Everything, and I'm not sure why anyone other than Microsoft would want to mix local file results and web results)

This project looks cool, though I misread the name as "Hipster" initially [sips almond milk macha coffee]

How arrogant of the Musescore developers to think they know better than hundreds of years of historical music notation by actual musicians. Seems in line with their arrogant disregard for the community and bad Audacity overhaul and nonsensical rebranding.

I am frustrated by the constant rebranding and tech churn (Qt now? Why?) under the new Audacity management. A lesson for other open-source projects: don't be bought out by commercial companies.

Nuclear's great until you have a natural disaster or war. Then every single reactor is a potential Chernobyl. The less of those around, the better.

How much does it cost? I was spooked when there were no prices on the website and it says only "email for quote".

I will be buying a Mullvad subscription because of this. Keep up the good work! Private individuals should have the right to free speech/expression, whatever that is, and that is a value I admire this VPN company for standing up for.

Too many companies pay lip service to the current political fad du jour, and it's annoying. I like an apolitical company that does its thing and doesn't pretend more.

Not Sequel-lite?

Smart criminals go into politics

I wasn't very happy as a user with an interest in tech/internet history to find my old bookmarks and notes had been hijacked by the new renamed project. The Original Freenet (Hyphanet) was quite interesting. The new one, less so, especially with the name hijacking.

Found a link to the Fossil forum thread I opened about this very problem of the split between Fossil Wiki and docs:

https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/e19ed2bfea94fc91f544c...

I wanted to host our company wiki in Fossil, but there is no way to import it because Fossil completely separates versioned project docs and the built-in Wiki function. Our git-based wiki could be imported into Fossil as "docs" but would not receive the nice formatting, GUI editor or dedicated page that the Wiki function does. There is also no benefit to manually converting it all to Fossil Wiki as some of our wiki editors work on raw markdown.md files and commit changes by git which is not possible with the Fossil Wiki; everyone would be forced to use the online editor only, whereas currently we have a choice of markdown or Gitea's editor.

I don't understand why browser-makers don't leave window management to the window manager. Split view has been standard in Windows (and probably Linux?) since 2009. I know Mac doesn't really do split windows without additional software, but that's an Apple-being-awkward problem.

What an odd thing to say.

Someone made a nice player website for the Aadam Jacobs collection (probably vibe-coded): https://aadamjacobs.dunlap.ai/

> use the subscription plans you already have, avoid paying for API usage, and keep the setup simple enough that you can try it in a few minutes.

That interested me, but the article does not explain how to do this at all. I was hoping it would tell how use my work's ChatGPT Pro subscription via the CLI without having to pay per token over their API.

> Unused memory is wasted memory.

Why does my computer freeze and become unusable when the RAM is 90%, then? That myth is complete nonsense - RAM is like a seatbelt or a crumple zone, serves as a buffer between the user and crashes, and will hopefully never be tested under use.

Wagic the Homebrew and MtG Forge are both high-quality FOSS Magic the Gathering simulators.

Once installed, I've found Electron installs tend to balloon from 80-200mb (installer) to 1.5GB or more (Electron + dedicated browser cache)

Thank you very much for that! That might explain why one of the macbooks I installed Windows on seemed to have laggy screensavers, whereas the others (Air) seemed to work just fine.

I installed the MacOS Lion installer from a memory stick to the internal SSD (partition 1), Mac OS Lion itself to partition 2 (minimal size) and Win7 to partition 3 via Bootcamp, and it works well, aside from laggy screensavers on one of them, and losing around 10GB to the Mac Lion installer partition 1 (I don't know if there's a way to force it to install MacOS to 1x partition, rather than 2x, while fully offline)

I had to reinstall MacOS Lion manually recently, as Macs do not have a BIOS and require a MacOS environment to begin installing Windows. I was installing Windows on legacy Macs, because it gives me 30+ years of software and performs well, unlike MacOS (5 years software if lucky, unusably slow performance on older hardware). I intentionally did it all the hard way offline from a Windows host, so that I could replicate it without depending on someone else's flakey servers (which incidentally refused to serve me OS installer images)

I detest crummy Unix-style online stub installers and package managers, because the original downloads are always down when you need them, and it's much harder than it should be to force offline replicable reinstallation.

This sounds like a terrible deal, especially if it involves a flood of immigration from India
