Woah, I have been watching all of this guy's videos recently, I love how deep he dives into niche topics. His video on segmented displays got me very interested in the clever designs that came out of technical…

Nice :)
Yeah, I guess probably "free software" was a more appropriate term
I think the gnome project deserves a mention here, their docs program is really complete, and covers many high level aspects of how to use the software. Most gnome apps also use it
This article is from 1999, what do you mean?
I'm not defending Amazon
Yeah, it even seems very weird as well that a company would paint this image on themselves
This article is so wrong on so many levels. First off, Amazon is definitely not selling "suicide kits", let alone advertising them. What they really meant here is the automated "people usually buy this with" section…
HackerNews is basically just text and links, so... I don't see how a CDN would only complicate things, honestly

I used to be on twitter (wonderful thing, I know) for about a year during 2020-2021. I never really any social media accounts aside from that, but anyways, during that time on the site I felt so stressed, anxious, and…
Agree. Still, this is horrible
> I was frankly astonished that Windows would drop them into a temporary user profile without dire warnings about its transience Does it? I recall using Windows 7 and being dropped into ~TEMP sometimes, but I was warned…
No, this was on a clean install
Cloud apps != Web apps I never had a problem with the former, and appreciate their capabilities. Many cloud apps are also web apps, but not necessarily (see Sketch)
> just brushing off anything made with web technologies because “it wasn’t designed for this” feels very shortsighted in my opinion That's more of an ideological reason for me. But even setting that aside, you can't…
Yes and loads more. I don't use notepad++ on the daily but it is a far superior experience than whatever VSCode gave me

Agree with it being weird but intuitive != commonly known. Just because windows does it a certain way doesn't mean it is intuitive. It's just widely known and assumed. If GNU developed to be the worldwide market leader…
I'd say macOS actually is a lot more polished than Windows, but I agree with you that it is damn confusing. Try "closing" an app for example and you'll find that half the time it will not have closed properly, or maybe…
Something to note which wasn't mentioned here is that `cd` is not a binary executable, but instead a shell command. You won't find it anywhere in /bin, /sbin and so on. That's also why `sudo cd ` doesn't work, `sudo`…
Wikipedia hands down because it includes about all the information I could ever need from the internet at any given time
Yep, and that's the story of how I lost years worth of discussions and chats because Discord thought well that linking a phone number doesn't automatically allow you to verify yourself with it.
