Why not to migrate to another one? There are plenty of them nowadays

Thanks! Can you recommend some tutorials/channels on youtube by any chance?

Thank you, looks like exactly what I need! For some reason I've got only 3-day trial, but considering the price and upcoming weekend it seems reasonable for me.

How does one start creating digital music (today)?

I've got a midi keyboard to practice singing and there was free light version of Ableton included. I guess it is in the same category as PreSonus and GarageBand from the article. I studied music ~10 years ago but have no idea how to start creating digital music.

How and where do I start if for example I like ATB (DJ) and would like to (try to) create something similar?

It's interesting if they count people that "have no account" data of which they also monetize.

Isn't dockerhub much cheaper (for private images)?

Unfortunately, I do not remember. I've bought my miband and set everything up last fall.

I will definitely try Gadgedbrige again when there are less active covid cases in my city so I can continue working out outside.

My main sport activites are free weight lifting and longboarding (long distance, 10+ km, no trick like on skateboard).

In my current app I really like trend charts, especially weight trend (and recommendations on how to lose more weight based on my activity). Do not remember if they were present in Gadgetbridge when I last checked. But I don't like that the app I use now is slow on my old android (looks like unoptimized react native app).

It does.

My point was that for me disabling history disabled _good_ recommendations based on my activity (and some other features), which is different from anecdotes in parent and sibling comments.

> may spook some people

Right. I think the word "hacked" feels more aggressive and even scary than something like "This printer is vulnerable. We are security researchers but it could be real hackers. Here is how to secure it..."

It definitely draws attention, but in a very uncomfortable way.

It's even worse for people who do not speak English. As a Russian, I guess "hacker/hacked" is recognizable in a lot of non-English speaking societies, but other parts of the printed page are less so. So it definitely can unnecessarily spook some of those people until they find a way to understand the entire message.

Recently I've disabled search and watch history, and home page content became very similar to the Trending tab in my country (i.e. pure garbage). Also I've lost ability to resume playback from last known position across devices, so had to turn watch history on back. And it made my home page great again.

I believe you can achieve something similar with cheap tracker from xiaomi (like mi band) connected via "Notify and Fitness for Mi Band" (I use paid PRO version) or Gadgetbridge [0] (I didn't use it).

Gadgetbridge looks better in terms of privacy, but for some reason I'd chosen Notify and Fitness for my mi band 4 and some xiaomi body scales. Probably because it had more features than gadgetbridge.

Maybe weighing daily IS productive, but looking at the result daily is not :)

To avoid this, there is wordsafety.com, recently mentioned on HN[0]

It's much better with computers, though. I am able to decently run modern games on 2015 gaming PC.

My 2015 flagman phone from meizu seems to have the same processing power as potato. And I don't even play games on it.

Maybe it's because I've never owned a dedicated TV and used a lot of computer monitors, but I've always treated TV as just another kind of output device, not independent system.

They try to use "smart" features to promote their products, but instead what they do with them shortly after the purchase has exactly opposite effect.

Also some of them (Samsung) intentionally break some (or all) smart features in some cases [0]. Even if they are legally allowed to do so (And of course they do. Who reads TOS...), it makes me really uncomfortable to buy any "smart" TV. It's a pity one cannot buy a dumb TV with quality picture and sound today.

3300 feet = 1 km (for people outside US)

What are polite ways to introduce colleagues to this concept?

At the same time other people will be more motivated not to include one-liner libraries to not further dilute donations.

Maybe the real reason of disconnects in my case is that I log in once a week or even less often.

> What do I get from using a client?

Recently I've started using OS search to launch apps on my Ubuntu workstation. One day I've tried the same with game launched. When you have extensive libraries on multiple platforms it definitely helps.

Also some clients support achievements. It adds incentives (or meaning, if you will) to play some good game even after completion of campaign or something like that. Yep, not for everyone.

BTW, you can download and install games from Steam using official console client [0]. Not sure if will allow to play [all] games, though. I had limited experience with that. I managed to download windows versions of doom and quake 2 for Oculus Quest from Ubuntu.

Sometimes it looks like this. But in some sense unlike this new "standard" previous 14 standards don't really cover "all use cases".

Only the app from GOG shows games from other platforms, that's why I prefer to launch everything from there because when I launch my windows rig on weekends no chance I remember where I bought that game.

There is GOG Galaxy[0], that is trying to gather all your games from different platforms in one place. However all platforms (except Steam) constantly disconnects from the Galaxy which is really annoying. I understand there can be a lot of reasons for this. But I like to think that those emerging platforms simply do not want being accessed from the Galaxy. For this reason I prefer buying games from GOG and Steam when possible.

Also, to install games from those 3rd party platforms one still needs to install and launch those platforms. So this limits usefulness of the Galaxy.

... all else being equal

Haven't used the service from original post. But I already feel like that about the stuff I saved in Pocket since 2011 (now owned by Mozilla). Back then it was called Read It Later

Is it browser's limitation?

I had issues, when tried to search in a very long <textarea> with scrollbar. Firefox was able to find only currently visible occurrences. That was not a viewport issue, of course, but looks very similar. Would love to know more about all this.

Really enjoyed the video (I speak Russian though).

Interesting solution. Unfortunately, it seems it doesn't play nice with screen readers.

Just curious, how many extensions do you have? I'm trying not to bloat my browser too much with them, but have 3-4 privacy related extensions and a couple of utility ones. Right now I have 22 tabs and Firefox uses 5-6 GB of RAM. Restart decreases RAM usage, but Firefox slowly eats RAM again.

I remember recently I freed 10GB of RAM just by restarting Firefox. I literally looked at Ubuntu's System Monitor. And I keep everything updated.

Tried to play with settings in about:config, made even worse and reset.

Or Firefox. (writing this from Firefox on Thinkpad with 16GB of RAM)

What's wrong with them? Maybe it's because I do not use project management features much, but I like new UI more.
