I use Vim and sometimes VScodium. for some reason `ctrl-C` gets you out of insert mode. That's been my little hack.

PeerTube is also special because it uses the activityPub format, so anyone on Mastodon or GNUsocial can follow somebody on PeerTube.

Purism has two lines of computers that has Linux on them.

WSJ tech columnist Joanna Stern wrote about this, too. But Stern got an apology from apple about it. They said "a small percentage is having issues with the new butterfly line"

Although `.com` domains seem to do better for any product not for devs.

Protonmail is really good for email. Proton also had other services like protonvpn.

I turned mine into a simple Apache server. It's really nice to save a file and instantly see it live. If I like a program, I just save it and play around with on my server.

Most devtools on browsers have "responsive tools" - letting you change your screen to mobile or adjusting pixels. I use it sometimes for my web apps.

Re:Ask HN: I need ideas to impress fifth graders with technology

When I tried to make a little class for programming, my go to option was scratch.mit.edu , a little hub for coding with blocks. But since this is 5th graders, I recommend code.org , which is "coding" AKA using blocks to get steve from minecraft from point A to B.

I heard that Nexus phones are special and have direct support to ubuntu touch. I hear it's a really interesting OS.
There is also sailfish, which is meant for Enterprise and can support Android apps.

Ask HN: Downvotes?
Before I start, I need to say, I am very new to HN. So after a few days of using HN, I thought my karma was off to a good start. But then after commenting on an article, I got lots of downvotes. That was a 30 percent blow to my karma. My comment said nothing uncivilized that's against HN's terms. So why am I getting downvotes for saying something different? Will I ever get more than 501 karma!?!

I hear it's hot to make Alexa, etc apps. It's a free dev service, it only takes a background in node.js (lots of courses on that) and an idea (who knows, maybe a calendar app?)

Well, this may drive a crowd away, but maybe the best way for monetization is to make Uber a subscription based thing. Obviously, it would have to be cheap though.
