Just found out about this, seems to recognize my obscure music, at least so far…

I just wanted to show off a cool project I’ve found recently. Dashy is a very customizable dashboard that works perfectly for self-hosting projects. You can monitor any service that is reachable via http/https and use widgets like the universal web search interface, I’ve enabled in my installation....

I’m kind of tired of Google sending me to the same 3 sites whenever I search for something. If not the same 3 sites it’s 7 others that are so generic and boring I just feel they’re useless. It’s always makeuseof, androidauthority, or whatever other sites that have useful information but I rarely feel like they are saying...

So, I was hired to make screen visuals for a beauty contest here in my city. I’ve spent 2 weeks doing the visuals in the computer of the people who hired me for this, with whom I have previously worked in the past, so in that computer I have everything to work with After Effects....

I was forced to fill out an XFA form (that was pretending to be a PDF) from the Canadian government and the experience left me feeling completely subjugated. The lengths that Adobe go to to make sure that you have the most frustrating experience possible is unbelieveable. Searching for alternatives or help leads you to either:...

When Google holds that much influence over Mozilla, I call it a false duopoly because consumers are duped into thinking the two are strongly competing with each other. In Mozilla’s...

I think we have to consider that the principles of the free software movement, revolutionary though they genuinely were, were also set in the same mindset that latterly saw its founder Richard Stallman spectacularly fall from grace. They are principles that deal in software development and licensing in strict isolation, outside...

In the Pixel phones you can select any text on the screen even if it is part of an image. This tool matches that functionality and works quite well....

The Hacker News and reddit.com/r/vim take on NeoVim is frequently that NeoVim has done tremendous harm to the overall Vim community and that the NeoVim developers aren’t respectful to Beam. Having been involved in both commubitues, I have never been able to track where that idea came from. Vim has accelerated in features...

I recently stumbled across this superb little word processor, and I’m just blown away by how good it for being made by one dude for free. It’s like a slimmed down version of Scrivener or Papyrus, with a wonderfully simple and easy to use interface....
