I love this feature in Gnome and use it all the time, I actually miss this feature when I use macOS, would love to be able to hold command and drag a window without needing to select title bar. It sounds like System 76 are really working on a super productive desktop, I look forward to trying it some day.

Looks interesting, but there doesn’t seem to be any licence on this project, and it is not clear if the source is available via the repo linked from website. Anyone know if this is FOSS?

The amount of entitlement ringing through the comments on the issue is crazy. It really makes me frustrated to see as it just adds fire to putting companies off the idea of developing open source software.

Why do you hate snaps?

This is great to see, well done ProtonMail. I asked Fastmail if they would open source their email app on Android but was told no.

> the probability of the app to be opensourced is very unlikely

No mention of Linux I see, guess market too small to care. Seems to align with the recent decision to weaken the supported filesystem sync options on Linux as well. No real loss, as there are excellent open source alternatives luckily.

I am pro net neutrality, and would like to see a completely decentralised internet. It is not nitpicking to question the integrity and veracity of the messenger.

To be clear I am not saying they’re wrong. It’s like being told to recycle everything in a magazine that is full of adverts funded by the toxic waste industry. Yes, I agree with recycling (and do so myself) but it’s hard to trust the source. I guess this is more of an idea than an organisation though, so I hope they will do some good and wish them luck.

I just loaded this article on my mobile device. An ad on the website triggered with auto playing audio that stopped background media playback of my device. I class these type of ads as a type of vermin, and generally avoid any website that contains them. Why should I trust an organisation that chooses to run user hostile ads on their site line this to make a better internet?

Yes, that is sort of the point of the EU. Whatever I wanted though, the vote has already happened, and the leavers won. We'll all be seeing what happens to the UK as a result.

The EU is far from perfect, but the UK government has proven time and time again it requires oversight. The UK governments stance on e.g. encryption is nothing short of an international embarrassment. I am woeful for the future of this tiny island (I am a UK citizen).

Tl/dr Hacker News, Podcasts, RSS, YouTube and Reddit.

Perhaps because I've been on internet since early days I still use RSS (self-hosted Stringer + Unread app). I keep RSS feeds as selective and few as possible. I have a couple of dozen podcasts I listen to, some of which deliver daily episodes. I subscribe to a fair number of YouTube channels which is (mostly) good for conference talks and tutorials. Reddit I am getting close to ditching.

For me, browser integration is an anti-feature for password managers.
