When it's your time it's your time. And in comparison to the empires of old, the American empire is far more humane to it's subjects. The biggest mistake our nation has made in the last 100 years is being merciful to the war mongers; Perhaps if they received justice instead of undeserved tolerance they wouldn't be so insolent to complain of what is put in their bowl.

She said she was ready to die. It seems like that gave my parents peace, but I always thought she was deluding herself or us or both.*

Review is worth reading as well, but you should read the original post beforehand.

I think this depends a lot on the operating system, desktop environment/window manager, and tools you are using. Tools that are more opinionated are naturally going to have less need for additional niche software to accommodate different workflows. Of course it goes the other way as well.

If you are using Linux and a tiling WM like i3wm, xmonad, hyprland, sway then you quickly find there are many different tools that don't exist that would be beneficial to your workflow.

Just some examples from my time spent using i3wm as my primary WM:

1. key hinting (like which-key for vim)

2. drawing on desktop

3. non-visible window / workspace previews

4. key hints for qt/gtk/etc buttons (like vimium)

5. detection and automatic mode bindings for communication with applications through ipc (most likely using dbus)

I will say coming up with ideas for a project with a non-niche/tech focused audience is significantly more difficult, but the most fun I have programming is when I am building stuff that would help me.

Computers are tools. I challenge the notion that Computers ought to be intrinsically entertaining. If you no longer have fun on your Computer then it's probably best to focus on other things.

I created this because I have a lot of bookmarks across devices that I want to batch edit/delete and I can't always just directly modify the local browser db.

Not many filters implemented so far, but I made it easy to add filters see: https://github.com/ediw8311xht/cl-bookmark-tool/blob/main/sr...

> CPE generally refers to devices such as telephones, routers, network switches, residential gateways (RG), set-top boxes, fixed mobile convergence products, home networking adapters and Internet access gateways that enable consumers to access providers' communication services

From my understanding any type of device that is used to extend or facilitate provider services is a CPE. So a router just acting as an extender would still be a cpe, as would a modem, as would anything that is on the customer side and facilitates provider services. Only situation a router wouldn't be a cpe is if it was just for a local lan network.

I typically use marginalia and wiby to make finding posts from blogs easier, but I like the idea of providing hn style mechanics to blog posts, so many of which lack the ability to comment/discuss the material. At the same time, while I think this is a useful tool, I am a little weary of the aggregation and consolidation of the web.

Configuration is in scheme (guile) so that may be a turn off though.

It's utterly pointless and degrades one's life into voyeurism. Many don't think of this, nor think about the food they eat, the work they do, the "life" they live, they only think of the consequences if they become painfully visible. Even then you will see people unwilling to get out of the bond of slavery, and form lies to protect their habit just as an addict of heroin addict would.

Non-fiction can be as bad (biographies, documentaries), but (for the most part) it's primary purpose isn't a voyeur's pleasure, so it's rarely abused in the same way.

Furthermore, on reading the wikipedia page, his conviction was vacated.

> On April 11, 2014, the Third Circuit issued an opinion vacating Auernheimer's conviction, on the basis that the New Jersey venue was improper,[60] since neither Auernheimer, his co-conspirators, nor AT&T's servers were in New Jersey at the time of the data breach.

> While the judges did not address the substantive question on the legality of the site access, they were skeptical of the original conviction, observing that no circumvention of passwords had occurred and that only publicly accessible information was obtained
