I want to learn more about this! Searching for "bed backdoor " right now

Send is open source. I believe it's a fork of Firefox Send

 

RSS is such a cool tool, and with the rise of the social web, RSS looks to be making a comeback. It would be so cool if there was a screensaver/app that could display RSS feeds in a visually-interesting way. Apple used to have this back in the days of OSX, but now the only thing I can find is Rollgator, which is fine but not exactly the most creative. Can someone build a cool tool that lets us see our RSS feeds beautifully? Trying to find something to put up on my TV during the day.

I was pleasantly surprised. The book is here

 

TBH I expected this to be a cringey 'Orange Man Bad' thing but the villain is apparently Kara Swisher?!?! AND Vance fucks a couch?? This thing surprisingly has the goods.

Filmmakers skewer fascism with satire and tragic heroes. But what happens when audiences miss the point?

This is a good policy but it should only be available to people who make 34.5% of the median national wage or else people might abuse it

When you do this, what do people say? Do they say "Open it!" or do they ever tell you what it is?

What is the point of wrapping the gift if you're just going to tell the person what's inside?

It might not be fair to say they don't give a shit. More often, I've found that productions simply hit a wall of time or money.

Just about anyone can write or edit a great story with enough time. But movies and shows are produced against a running clock, and they have obligations and limitations that go beyond the screenwriter's imagination or the editor's time. There are so many varied interests involved in a single production. Sometimes the issue is TOO many people giving a shit, and not being able to find a workable compromise in time.

"Here, I got you this gift." Hands wrapped gift to the recipient. Recipient: "What is it?"

Motherfucker I swear every movie character does this. It's like they've never received a gift before what the hell

Gadgetbridge is such a fantastic privacy-preserving option for health trackers and it supports so many devices. Definitely check this list to find a compatible device

wow I haven't learned anything from these replies, y'all are about as helpful as the French socialist party I guess

 

Impeachment proceedings against the French president passed their first round of parliamentary scrutiny Tuesday when the assembly's 22-person committee judged the procedure admissable, voting 12 to 10 in favour...

Macron can count on his centrist Ensemble (Together) coalition and the mainstream right Republicans to vote against...

The Socialists have also announced they will not vote to impeach Macron.

What gives?

 
 

I use an Android e-reader (the Likebook P6) and I'm so frustrated by the lack of a good read-it-later app. This chart lays out the shortcomings of current apps.

Pocket used to be good but they dropped support for page turning.

Does anyone have a good app for saving and reading articles on e-ink screens?

There's an Omnivore beta app that supports page turning (great!!) but... for some reason, I can't adjust the fonts on my tablet. (I have this issue with the official Ominvore app, too.) And the Omnivore app doesn't auto-download articles?!?! I have to be online to load each article when I open it, and only then can I go offline. Pocket and Wallabag don't work this way; they'll download all your articles at once and you can read them all later, even if offline.

Are there any other options???

 

New York has a great gallery scene, and every Thursday you can attend gallery openings. But finding out which galleries are hosting events can be a little archaic: The only sites that list openings are really old, and they don't offer any way to subscribe (say, via RSS).

You know what would be great? A Google Calendar that's updated with all the best art gallery openings. For starters, it could source from these sites:

Can someone make this *please *so I can subscribe to it?

 

There's a great newsletter called nonsense nyc that lists great, off beat events for the coming week.

But it's only available as a newsletter, which is kinda annoying. I'd love to have it as a Google Calendar.

I could manually take the events from nonsense and add each one to my calendar, but that's a chore. Does anyone know a good way to automate it?

 

I've just started using Brave on Linux (distro info at bottom) and I have a question about keyboard shortcuts & how the browser manages active windows, because it seems to be doing something different from my last browser.

I usually use Firefox, and I've set it up so that I can open a new tab with the Mail key on my keyboard. Pressing my Mail key executes this command, opening a new tab.

xdotool getactivewindow key ctrl+t

But now I've switched to Brave browser, and that command no longer works. When I've got Brave open and I press my Mail key, nothing happens.

I've tried alternate commands:

xdotool key ctrl+t

and

xdotool getwindowfocus key ctrl+t

but no result. Does anyone know how to fix? What is Brave doing with its browser tabs/windows?

Thank you!
