FWIW, you might also consider Firefox’s built-in reader view, which can be configured to use a dark theme.

1·10 months agoI’m with you.
Also great: Willow, Tombstone.
4·10 months agoI noticed a change in your titles a few days ago. What happened to “until l forget to post Screenshots”? I don’t think you forgot, did you?
Qt is still the only excellent cross-platform desktop GUI framework.
It’s a pity that its current custodian’s commercial licenses:
- are subscriptions
- are painfully expensive for a solo developer or small group
- have a reputation for triggering legal threats and badgering from The Qt Company if one ever wants to end their subscription or (separately) use the open-source license for a FOSS project
This situation makes me afraid to use their commercial offerings, which in turn means they won’t get any money from me at all; I feel that I can safely use their libs only in open-source code. Their business model is their decision, of course, but I can’t help wondering if their whale-hunting approach actually nets them more money than a more accessible, lower-cost, one-time (or one-major-version) license option would. In many other industries, high sales volume reaps more profits than high price.
Thank goodness for the KDE Free Qt Foundation.
2·10 months agoTo be fair, OSS is not comparable to a sound server, and some people have a genuine need for one.
(I’ll never endorse PulseAudio, though; it’s garbage.)
4·10 months agoI wish we had generic links for posts and comments like we do for communities. It’s problematic in several ways to have to follow an URL like this one:
Looks like others have noticed the problem as well:
Yes, this is the way.
Sure.

11·10 months agoDisappointing that it doesn’t show anything at all without javascript.
2·10 months agoI don’t follow Meta services, but for the record, I think you’re talking about the EU Digital Markets Act and its interoperability requirements of gatekeepers.

15·10 months agoYou had cassettes? We had to manually transcribe machine code from printed listings.
Long ago, I solved all of the ways in which PHP made me sad…
…by abandoning it.
Nowadays we have better languages that can do the job at least as well.
I love this instance in principle, but it has had recurring technical problems since before I joined, and I don’t have any reason to think that will change. I suppose they just don’t have the resources to keep up with lemmy issues. I’m using a different instance now.
