Did you do it before they did so?


Looks like I judged them well in not doing so. I would have been such a sucker. After all, donating to corporations is for bootlickers.

So they’re just shilling their own search product on their own browser. No different from Google and Chrome. Except with some corporate bootlicking from running dog lackeys.

He literally sold it to an online advertising company lol.

EDIT: haha, the best defence of this guy you guys can muster is "If you don't pay me, I'll sell your data to online advertising companies" and that this is some kind of good thing.


Right. So you don't ever donate to anything, right? Just in case. The future. You know?


It's somewhat funny that this guy asks for 850$/hour for consulting (in his hn profile description), never donates to anything, and writes multiple comments complaining like this.


Donated to Bram Moolenaar or rather to the things he asked me to donate to instead. Didn’t sell vim to an ad company and then send his friends here to HN to act all holier than thou about selling to an ad company. At least Firefox didn’t get sold to The Trade Desk. Vim, brought to you by Doubleclick. Yeah never had that happen.


Maybe if you donated some money he wouldn't have had to.


I'm impressed by how thoroughly you ignored the question of whether your own inaction was partly responsible for the outcome that occurred later, and which you dislike.

It has persuaded me that your own inaction was totally unrelated to this outcome.


I suppose you could have a gasoline powered battery and then charge electronics with that, no?


Stationary exercise bike, large hobby BLDC motor (or random PMAC motor from some AC appliance) plus some diodes (fullbridgerectifier meme goes here) to rectify the generated voltage. :)


The obnoxious hijacking of the scrolling is present on desktop too. Can't read the small box because it'll scroll to the next project. Why?


"May be able" refers to collect, which is entirely up to the app. It does have access to password as you write them with it. It doesn't know what you're writing and it MAY collect. But it's not clear if it does collect.


But does it have network access, or access to other apps (perhaps via shared storage)? There's no reason for it to have any of that, and there exist systems for tracking whether an app can do those things.


So you don't grok it. You understand it, but don't grok it. Respect the martian :)


But Linux is getting better each year (seriously, KDE is amazing, Gnome works well if you like it), made by hundreds of independent people, while Mac is getting worse, made by one focused company.

I've had no problem whatsoever with 2 laptops regarding power management or audio.

Get a major distro and major software if you don't want to wander into problems.


I agree, but it is there: perfect amount of sugar: 0, perfect milk-to-coffee ratio: 0 to 1.

What really gets on my nerves is the justified text...


My point is that it's not a personal amount, but an absolute constant.

If you need to mix other things with it, then the coffee isn't good.


Well, the idea of Linux was "a better minix" and "I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones".


The idea behind unix was a single user operating system. Hence the name.


As I thought: you can set a different shortcut for "Beginning of line" and it will work in Qt input fields but, sadly, not others. I don't know if this is the step you're on.


I'm not sure this is the reason or a big reason, but I think this is very difficult to do in Linux, sadly.

What makes Linux great is also its biggest handicap, in my opinion, when it comes to User Experience: the fragmentation of UI frameworks and libraries.

I imagine having this control between Qt, GTK and other UI libraries and electron-type-apps os difficult if not impossible.


It works perfectly on Gnome (ubuntu) though. There is simple toggle you have to do in one of the standard control panels as well.

I am surprised this issue is not gaining traction with the KDE crowd, as I imagine a substantial part of the userbase are emacs users and used to emacs keybindings.
