You are most likely trying to type too fast. Focus on your technique and then, try to type faster once you feel comfortable. In any case, how fast you type is rarely what limits your coding skills.

It looks like they didn't learn from what happened to Gab. I will never understand why they don't use a mastodon or pleroma instance instead of trying to maintain yet another centralized social media platform.

If their customers are being refunded, it's better than expected.

That's why you can't trust encrypted closed source apps. This time it was the "good guys", but you never know who is behind a software company.

>Clearly Musk is neither famous nor admired just because of “trolling”

Yes but actually no.

None of this nonsense would happened without the GME/AMC reddit scandal. But because he was with the good guys, nobody complained about it.

What a turn of events at the end. Without this lady, even though Edward Jenner may have survived and even though this method was already a thing in other parts of the world, I think we can say it was a big influence in his career as doctor later on. Not only because he received the treatment as kid but for all the political nonsense around it.

It's cool, the video is clean and it's an impressive piece of hardware overall but what's the real usefulness about this product? It looks fragile and it'll cost a lot more than anything you can attach to a raspberry pi. With a normal computer you may want to swap the screen or adding a Bluetooth dongle. But in this case, you buy one of this boards to make a project, you don't buy it for the sake of it and a few months later think what you are going to do with it.

I hope we are going to see an old web resurgence in the coming years and personal blogs will once again populate the hn frontage. If we can't keep the old web, nobody can. We are a niche, a tech niche, but we have to stop visiting medium or other centralized services.

Crop tops are everywhere when nobody expected then 30 years later after all.

I bought the stove-top Fellow Kettle [0] a year ago and it's a fantastic kettle. Boils water surprisingly fast, has a thermometer attached to it and the polished steel is beautiful. They don't have filters because you are supposed to filter your water, a bad water isn't going to produce a good water based drink.

There are good kettle for enthusiastic coffee or tea lovers, but you have to be ready to pay a fair price for a product focused on a niche market in the west.

Yes, I wanted to use sfeed and they show how to get the good url in their config example [0].

With a simple for loop in bash, I added them to the list of my rss feeds. I had 50+ youtube channels and didn't want to make something complicated.

It's a shame he didn't recommend cli programs like sfeed or newsboat.

I recently also stopped using youtube to be notified about new videos from the channels I follow, and now I use exclusively RSS with some scripts to made my life easier. Because youtube doesn't provide a RSS with all your subscriptions anymore, I had to extract all of them using the browser console[0] and convert all the links to the (hidden) RSS feed. This issue also happens with LBRY but this time I had to use an external service (I don't blame them because by design, you can't have something like a linear RSS feed in a blockchain).

I also used twitter for a while but at one point I felt tired of letting them tell me what I want to read. I was usually distracted by other tweets and feelt like I was wasting my time and didn't find any important or interesting stuff. Because there are still good twitter users in this platform and they don't support RSS feeds anymore, I managed to follow them using nitter[1].

I can tell you that, now, I see those two platforms like they were 10 years ago and I'm enjoying them like never before.

I think the reason chat applications like Discord or Slack, are usually a clusterfuck, is because the people using them are not used to have an organized conversation. They are used to talk about everything without thinking about it too much.

IRC has also the same model and people usually stay on topic, because that's what they are used to, it's on their culture. The same goes for other forms of communication, if it is old enough to survive, it'll have a culture around them and newcomers will have to adapt to the old ones if they want to be part of the community. Doesn't matter if we reinvent the wheel once again, if you can't discuss about something staying on topic the chat room is going to become a mess in a couple of minutes if there are more than 10 persons involved. You can have 50 different rooms for different topics but people go where there are other people talking (nobody wants to talk in an empty room), you need to moderate those rooms but at one point you can be there 24 hours a day if you had just created your chat group for fun.
