People acting as if they’re brave for voicing an “unpopular” opinion, when they’re actually with the vast majority on that platform…

Calling HN a privacy nightmare is pretty wild. But sure, let’s dilute the term even further until it loses all meaning. Websites that are truly privacy nightmares will be delighted.

He was not believing Trump’s words, you’re misinterpreting his post

I do, too, and I hope they increase their own search index to reduce the dependency on Google/Microsoft. I love the great search experience but I hate that I’m (indirectly) giving those companies my money.

Yeah, their world view is incredibly negative, and they harbor so much hate based on things that seem to happen purely in their mind. Sadly, they don’t seem to truly engage with comments (other than criticizing the neighbor more), so I’m not sure we can do much.

Why? Just because two (or more) people work on creating a song doesn’t necessarily make it boring or lifeless. The song writer can put his emotions into the song and the singer adds his own interpretation and feelings into the performance.

Yeah, I wish for a “Blender” moment for GIMP. Big improvements to the UI/UX to bring more (non-tech) users and code modernization to bring in devs.

While Krita focusses on drawing, I found it basically just as good at photo editing as GIMP. So today I don’t use GIMP at all and do everything in Krita.

Noticed that as well, it’s absolutely ridiculous. But judging by the amount of serious replies most people don’t seem to care.

I tried a few apps initially but stayed with Boost once it was released. It’s just what I’m used to from Reddit.

It’s crazy that you’re getting downvoted. It seems, people WANT to be fed fake news as long as it aligns with their beliefs.

None of the items in your screenshot are games?

Not the person you are replying to but Reddit does not make the content you created available for everyone (blocking crawlers, removing the free API) but instead sells it to the highest bidder.

Disclaimer: I haven’t read the article

A wise choice in this case. It’s 23 paragraphs that mostly describe standard Thunderbird features (as the author usually does not use email clients) and only one list with three (!) bullet points of new features in Betterbird.

Edit: to save you a click, here’s the list from the article (the actual feature list on the project page is longer):

Some notable features include:

• System Tray Icon (Linux)
• Accent Colors (for folders)
• Multi-line Inbox View (disabled by default)

Thanks for posting this. Been using Linux exclusively for almost 10 years now but I still miss scrolling by clicking the MMB. I have some problems with my fingers so using the scroll wheel is rather unpleasant, yet necessarily, especially when scrolling down slowly and steadily for a long time (e g. while reading/scanning stuff)

I for one appreciated your post and the insights it gave me (an outsider).

Yeah I think most complex and long-term OSS projects have “employed” contributors paid by donations or sponsorships (e.g. Linux, Blender, LibreOffice, …)

Thanks! No idea why we’d have to fake the photo if the original is pretty meme-y already

I mean it’s just copy and paste boilerplate and has nothing to do with the problem so I think it’s pretty accurate…
