- Comment on YSK theres a open source tool to cleanly read webpage articles called 'NewsWaffle' 1 week ago:
That’s really good, but it suffers from having a “good enough” competitor built in. You’re already using an ad block that prevents loading ads, trackers and other nasties. Then you click Reader mode to get to a result that works well enough most of the time. A lot more convenient than handling finding a website to paste a link into, let alone self hosting a tool.
What this project needs is a browser extension to make it more convenient.

Thank you for your service.

Leave it to the French to simply ignore a whole syllable in the middle of the word.
- Comment on YSK that in the US, denaturalization, the process of revoking a person's citizenship, does not require proof "Beyond reasonable doubt" 1 week ago:
Is it? Because war crimes are only defined in the context of a war, and I can’t see this scenario of an enemy combatant that is also citizen of the country it’s fighting and had no other citizenship. And even if it is, war crimes are only enforced after the war is over, on the losing side. Not on internal dealings of a country.

Haven’t had issues since the 2000s. Use a separate boot partition, use UEFI, you’re golden.

When I read your comment, the post already had a link. I guess they added after reading your comment.

I don’t think so. At least I couldn’t find anything on my settings app.

IIRC, it uses a free (libre) font license. So you’re free to do pet much anything. Changing the font might have some restrictions.

- Comment on Discord going public. Plz help a future refugee. 3 weeks ago:
Really? Is there an alternative that hits all the points above? I’m really asking.
- Comment on Discord going public. Plz help a future refugee. 3 weeks ago:
- persistent IRC style chat rooms
- virtual “servers” to organize said chat rooms, manage privileges, control visibility
- integration with bots for all sorts of things (moderation, user welcome, dice rollers, etc.)
- integration with games/music players/etc (I don’t use it but it’s very popular)
- privacy and moderation controls
- client allows fine grained notification controls
- voice, video, and screen casting simultaneously
- “server” templates: use an existing server config (roles, permissions, rooms, etc.) when creating a new server.
That’s just off the top of my head.
It’s enshittifying, but the value proposition is still hard to beat. I’m really hoping Matrix catches up with the feature set soon.

Nheko provides an interface that is reminiscent of Discord. Fully featured and fast Matrix client.

- Comment on Don’t Panic! How to Fight Fascism as a Student of the Past 5 weeks ago:
Let’s be naïve and think either approach alone can win this. We need the backing of physical violence to back the right ideas, and we need the right ideas to steer action, or it won’t work.

Oof. Take it to a machine shop and grind it down?

Cast iron works great on induction though.
- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 5 weeks ago:
That one that works with all pans is an electric resistance coil. It’s slow as molasses. But hey, more power to you if you can use it well. I have a standalone induction unit as well and it’s amazing how little I have to use anything else.

- Comment on Engineers achieve multiplexing entanglement in quantum network 5 weeks ago:
Tunneling electron microscopy exists for over 30 or 40 years. That’s a direct application of quantum physics. IBM even famously “reversed the polarity” on one of its sub-10-atoms tip in order to pick and place nitrogen molecules on a flat surface, writing their logo with it. (And proving they could build nano machines.)
