Just here for the tech discussion.
- Comment on Let's take a quick look at how software was built in the MS-DOS era: Borland Pascal 7. 1 year ago:
As a sheltered dialup kid, I learned Turbo Pascal and later Delphi back in the late 90’s.
Imagine my surprise when I found out it wasn’t used anywhere at all.
- Comment on Discord is Now Officially Verified on Flathub 1 year ago:
I don’t use Discord but this is great for Flathub. It seems that the community is coalescing around flatpak as the distro-agnostic package manager for desktop Linux moving forward. The next biggest targets should be Steam (kinda sorta official already) and Spotify.
I would imagine VSCode stays a snap only app so long as Ubuntu is now Microsoft’s baby.
- Comment on what custom rom do you use? 1 year ago:
CalyxOS
- Comment on I have a junk tablet, wifi, and around 5 bucks to spend. I need some ad free clean radio or playlists I can stream for 12 or so hours. 1 year ago:

Out of Chapel Hill. Funded by donations.
- Comment on What's your go-to Android Browser and why? 1 year ago:
Firefox Private Browsing is the default browser, so that any app that launches a surprise browser on me gets its information thrown away when the browser is closed.
Firefox for general browsing. It’s sync’d with my laptop and desktop (which is just a really big laptop). It has my Add-Ons installed including uBlock and some other anti-trackers.
I’ve used Firefox/Mozilla for many decades and generally trust the organization.
