For some vintage and retro devices (or for a variety of other reasons) you might want a super-lightweight method of searching the web or simple links of news.
I saw @osz mention the SUPER lightweight search site http://frogfind.com (which is powered by DuckDuckGo) and also http://68k.news (which is a simple HTML link version of Google News).
These two sites are SO cool and potentially useful.
Like what can it do that Simple #Queue Service can't? I know it's push based and that has it's benefits, and obvs it has integrations with SMS/email that probably come in handy, but those seem like improvements you could just make to #SQS instead of having a whole separate system.
A few summers ago I was walking through a meadow in Dog Canyon, Texas when I spotted this tiny, colorful wildflower blooming in the tall grasses. I thought it was beautiful in its simplicity.
"The city of Warsaw gets its water from a river and the main water pump has 8 clams that have triggers attached to their shells. If the water gets too toxic, they close, and the triggers shut off the city’s water supply automatically."
Whenever I assign junior #programmers a substantive task, they inevitably return with a #complex solution. I would then analyse their solution, simplify it, and show the simpler version to them, they respond every time, "OK, what's so great about that? It's so stupidly #simple."🤷
Although my #birthday was yesterday, I received two very pleasant #surprises this morning.
(1) Took car to the shop to get a screw in a #tire removed and #patch. Assumed it’d be a couple hours and planned accordingly. It didn’t take long for a worker to put it on a lift that I thought was only to evaluate what was needed. Apparently was #simple and they patched it #immediately. Total time in shop: roughly 30 minutes! (cont.)
Life is often best when it is #simple, #easy, and #effortless. Take this as an example: I get very little of the outside world when I drive a #car (which I consider to be a rather complex matter) and much more when I ride a #bicycle. However, I get the maximum when I simply #walk (which is undoubtedly the simplest of the three). #unlearn#slowdown#backtoperfection
The very first #programming language I learned was Motorola 6800 instruction set. I was a kid who knew nothing about #computing and the Heathkit ET-3400A trainer was the only thing available to me, then. I learned basic electronics, driving 7-segment LEDs, I/O interfacing, etc., all from books. And there were some truly excellent books for novices, back then. I expanded the system memory from 256 bytes all the way up to 512 bytes.
Oh, how I loved that thing. I credit the Heathkit microcomputer and the superheterodyne radio for my becoming an #EE, years later.
As "useless" as this thing was at a practical level, it truly was a marvellous educator. But today's kids do not have access to such a naked, introductory computing hardware that dares to bare it all. The simplest hardware available today are ESP32, BBC micro:bit, and Raspberry Pi. #Simple, are they? No!
Apparently the app suite from Simple Mobile Tool on Android has been sold to an AdFarm company. All the apps now seem to have massive tracking, several of them now require you to pay (even if you have bought the "Pro" version earlier) while the rest have, of course, ads. So my calculator now require internet access and uses several seconds to load.
i just want a simple editor, like a word editor, like a google doc or something, that will spit out a basic accessible static html page or two for me, ptooey!
I can read html/css but not spit it out in my sleep
Wie ich eben hier im Fediverse durch einen Beitrag von @citoyen_candide, weitergesagt durch @anonymiss gesehen habe, wurde Simple Mobile Tools verkauft. Folgender Artikel bestätigt das auch noch einmal. Das ist traurig, da diese Opensource Tools von recht vielen Menschen genutzt werden welchen Opensource, Datenschutz, sparsamer Gebrauch von Rechten etc. wichtig ist. Und so kann man nur hoffen das die Anwendungen geforked und dann von der Community weiter entwickelt werden.
Jakby ktoś tęsknił za aplikacjami z serii #simple to mam dobrą wiadomość.
Wygląda na to, że powstał projekt, który przejął te aplikacje i coś z nimi robi. Wrzucone są także na #fdroid , więc wygląda, jakby to było coś poważniejszego.
