I think this is that episode Hyperfixed
Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee? But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.

I know that extensions are mostly written in js, but why codebase? Any legacy reason I wonder?
That statement made me happy and sad at same time
That's just boiling water with extra steps

As an Android developer and as an user, I would prefer a standard and tested set of rules rather than reinventing everything. I know everyone have different taste, but I would trust an expert (someone who designed and defined Material rules) rather than my own judgement. Don't have an eye of a designer
The Hidden Brain explores the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior and questions that lie at the heart of our complex and changing world.
99% Invisible Design is everywhere in our lives, perhaps most importantly in the places where we've just stopped noticing. 99% Invisible is a weekly exploration of the process and power of design and architecture
Geomob Geomob is an event series and podcast for geospatial enthusiasts. Discuss some softwares, technologies etc regarding GIS
Invisibilia Unseeable forces control human behavior and shape our ideas, beliefs, and assumptions. Invisibilia—Latin for invisible things—fuses narrative storytelling with science that will make you see your own life differently.
How to Fix the Internet It seems like everywhere we turn we see dystopian stories about technology’s impact on our lives and our futures — from tracking-based surveillance capitalism to street level government surveillance to the dominance of a few large platforms choking innovation to the growing pressure by authoritarian governments to control what we see and say — the landscape can feel bleak. Exposing and articulating these problems is important, but so is envisioning and then building a better future. That’s where our podcast comes in.
Symphony github link It has nice UI, very polished and have folder view and lyrics support But there's a major catch, unlike other players, you will need to keep the app open in background
Gramophone github link Also have a nice ui, but not very polished. Absolutely usable. Have folder view and lyrics support
Working for a certain big fucking corpo(that I utterly hate from bottom of my heart but don't really have an option to leave), I see those patterns all over the product. Not just that, its practically impossible for non tech savvy to choose a non bundled or cheaper product or plan because it's burried somewhere out of your sight
I use input leap and it works flowlessly with Wayland. One PC has KDE and another GNOME 47. Even through tailscale tunnel
I see what you did there
URL Check It acts like an intermediary to open in browser when you click on a URL. Its useful to kinda look at the URL before it opens and choose browser.

Lemmings are bashing Mozilla because they are expecting better from them, while I don't even expect Google to not be evil
I remember listening this song but didn't know there's no official version available. That's kind of.. Odd because it's quite a well known song
Thank you. I will try these. Have you tried PostmarketOS or have any idea how it works on surface?
Quote of the day:
"Naturally, were I to buy one, I would have to install Linux onto it."
That really explains my first day.
I installed Arch on Surface Pro 6. And have GNOME and KDE installed. Pen and touch works perfectly (when it works), like it recognizes pressure, but sometimes need to restart the surface after putting it in standby because it fails to detect pen(and touch as well).
Camera is kinda wonky, it kinds works with cheese but not with other applications, and I couldn't manage to make the back camera work.
WiFi and Bluetooth works fine (there are some issues with bluetooth when standby but haven't looked much into that)
Downsides
Neither KDE nor Gnome is optimized to operate as a touch DE. Pen on KDE is detected as mouse(well its detected as pen but proxy as mouse input if a program doesn't support pen; like if I try to scroll firefox using pen, it works like I have right clicked mouse and am dragging up, so selecting text instead of scrolling), but touch works as expected.
And UX for on-screen keyboard(OSK) is not on par with Windows. It kinda works with GNOME, like a program window slides up if it were to be overlayed by OSK but its still wonky. And I didn't had good xp with OSK.
But overall, I like it. Its not really powerful enough to do any development, but I use it for multimedia and eBook reader
Isn't that the premise of Westworld S3
What desktop environment is that? Or is it built in by default or doesn't work quite similar to linux?
Kagi is also experimenting with small web

Gravitricity: Storing energy using gravitational potential
I have been following them for a few years and they are making some slow and steady progress
From their page: As the world generates more electricity from intermittent renewable energy sources, there is a growing need for technologies which can capture and store energy during periods of low demand and release it rapidly when required.
At Gravitricity we are developing innovative, long-life, underground technologies which store energy safely and deliver it on demand at a lower lifetime cost than current alternatives.

Enshittification of GitHub?
First, they restricted code search without logging in so I'm using sourcegraph But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in.
It was a nice run

Living off grid and documenting
Stumbled at this while exploring small web. Not sure if it belongs here but however they are living is pretty solarpunk
From about us:
Hundred Rabbits is a small artist collective. Together, we explore the planned failability of modern technology at the bounds of the hyper-connected world. We research and test low-tech solutions and document our findings with the hope of building a more resilient future.
We live and work on a 10 meter vessel called Pino, we have sailed around the Pacific Ocean and realized how fragile the modern-day computing stack was. Living in remote uninhabited parts of the world has offered us a playground to learn how technology degrades beyond the shores of the western world.
