Re:Valve's Proton Has Enabled 7000 Windows Games on Linux on Friday March 05, 2021 @04:07PM (#26362130)

Since you mentioned Nier: Automata, I'll just add that I've been playing it with proton for the past 2 weeks. I'm at ~20 hours of playtime and it's been flawless so far (without resorting to any 3rd party patch like FAR).

Re:Ask HN: What do you use to keep track of bookmarks/notes/snippets? on Saturday April 04, 2020 @04:11PM (#22781103)

I store my text notes on Dropbox, using various subfolder layers. The android app allows both creation and editing of .txt files.

Re:Typora: A truly minimal markdown editor on Wednesday November 06, 2019 @09:37AM (#21462969)

What a very complete and interesting writeup, thank you for sharing.

I've also recently started using iA Writer, on Win 10 and Android. The program is solid to a fault and extremely well designed, with the flexibility of saving .md files that you can save and export everywhere. Highly recommended!

Google's drive... Had to read that twice, for a moment I got really confused about my cloud storage subscription!

Re:Get your loved ones off Facebook on Monday May 22, 2017 @07:03PM (#14397561)

That's exactly what I do. I only use messenger.com and the fb messenger app. My friends warn me when there's something of interest on one of our college groups, but apart from that I don't go to the main site at all.

Re:Lessons from last week’s cyberattack on Sunday May 14, 2017 @07:26PM (#14338085)

No system is perfect. Remember Heartbleed? Microsoft released a patch to correct this particular issue in March, however the IT infrastructure in companies is slow, the whole process is convoluted, yada yada.

The point is: the NSA caused this particular problem. Steps should be taken be everyone to ensure something like this doesn't happen ever again.
