Comment on You can now use your Gmail account in Proton Mail in ~tech

The biggest argument against encrypted email providers like Proton is that it's barely a half measure — sure, Proton can't read the email contents in your inbox, but...When your friends and family use Proton Mail too, messages exchanged between Gmail addresses connected to Proton become end-to-end encrypted, so Google will not be able to read your data anymore. That’s why it’s worth inviting the people you email most to join Proton and connect their Gmail accounts.
I think this is fascinating. The biggest argument against encrypted email providers like Proton is that it's barely a half measure — sure, Proton can't read the email contents in your inbox, but literally everyone you send an email to is using Gmail, so Google is still reading all of your emails.
But if Proton is able to detect when the recipient is using Proton as their mail client and automatically encrypt emails sent to them, then even without switching email providers, suddenly it's a lot more feasible to get some of the people you email the most to be using encryption when you email them.

It just feels like such a relief and joy that a company like Libro (an employee owned social purpose corp!!) could compete with an evil behemoth like Amazon. It practically forces itself out of my fingers. The world has to know!

Comment on The unreasonable effectiveness of ProseMirror model in rich text transformation in ~comp
smores Link ParentThanks! And thanks for that Bluesky link, that is interesting. I think that's similar to how Swift represents rich text, as well. Oh, yup, you're right.

The actual recipe...Toasted gnocchi! I like to do toasted gnocchi with some lemon garlic butter sauce. Good with all sorts of veggies, recently we did asparagus and arugula, which was pretty good.
The actual recipe is pretty simple:
- Melt a decent amount of butter in a pan
- Toss in some minced garlic for 30 seconds or so
- Toss in some lemon juice and take off heat
- Cook some gnocchi in boiling water, as you would normally
- When it starts floating, strain it and put in it a pan in a single layer over medium high heat
- Let it toast for a minute or two, until it starts to brown, then flip and toast the other side
Combine (optionally with some sauteed veggies) and eat!

I have also been eyeing Silverblue. I'm sure at some point I'll end up switching to it, it just seems like a really neat system. But I have the same problem — everything just works now! It's hard to imagine tearing it all down and starting fresh haha

The man is just a preposterously good guitar player. To The Light just sort of melts my brain. He has such outrageously clear tone and picking.

This was, I think, the perfect time to do it, because I wasn't all that good at QWERTY (and hadn't learned correct finger placement for touch typing, which would have been hard to correct), and I had a bunch of free time to drill touch typing (which I did, because I was and am a nerd).
Ultimately I think it was great. I do think that Dvorak reduces RSI, especially in the pinkies, and my wife actually switched to it as an adult after developing some RSIs and switching helped considerably. I don't really know if I'd recommend it, cause it's goofy and it genuinely does take quite a while to get up to speed, but I like that I know it, and I certainly prefer it to QWERTY!

Comment on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire with Tehran saying it will reopen Strait of Hormuz in ~society
smores Link ParentI was (too obliquely) referencing Iran's own statement about what they were allowing through the Strait during the cease-fire:...It's been less than 24 hours. I don't think that's enough time to see if shipping will increase?
I was (too obliquely) referencing Iran's own statement about what they were allowing through the Strait during the cease-fire:
Iran told mediators it would limit the number of ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz to around a dozen a day and charge tolls under the cease-fire struck by President Trump, showing Tehran plans to tighten its grip on the world’s most important energy-shipping lane.

Seems like they got quite a lot out of doing so, until they called it off over Lebanon — they didn't actually open up the Strait, and the US didn't "destroy their civilization" last night.

Completely functional for browsing without javascript
Tildes will always be functional to browse without javascript enabled. Someone with javascript disabled should be able to look through all the listings on the site, read all types of posts, and so on.
It won't be a priority to make interaction work without javascript. Some features may end up naturally working due to how they're implemented, but I'm not going to worry about making things, like voting, functional when javascript is disabled.
So I believe it is essentially "by design" that replies don't work without JS, but it does make sense that threads should be expanded when JS is disabled. Threads are only collapsed on page load when Tildes is showing updates to a thread you've already visited, though, so just refreshing the page should also expand them, I think?

Comment on Israel passes death penalty [as default] law for Palestinians convincted [in military court] of lethal attacks in ~society

The original bill had mandated the death sentence for non-Israeli citizens convicted in West Bank military courts of deadly terrorist acts. The revised legislation includes the option of life imprisonment.
I'm interpreting this as saying there are circumstances under which judges are allowed to downgrade the sentence to life imprisonment, but if those conditions are not met, they must default to a death sentence.

Comment on Making React ProseMirror really, really fast in ~comp

I think it's actually performance! They have to download and index your entire inbox in order to search the body of the emails, which can take a long time for large inboxes. Since the index and search happens locally, I don't think there's much of a security risk.
