sfs VS hn-search

I absolutely agree that we need to move away from the idea of physical folders. The file hierarchy IS very useful way of categorizing your data, but a file should be able to belong to multiple categories. That's why we have hard links, but I digress.

I wrote an emacs package called SFS(search file system) to solve exactly this set of problems. It is just an interface on top of the excellent Recoll full-text indexer. Among other things, SFS allows you to create hierarchies of queries, the search analog of a folder hierarchy. A parent "directory" is just the logical OR of all of it's content named queries. Everything works great for me, but the installation process is a bit painful(especially cross-platform), and indexing can take a serious amount of time and space initially, so I would say it's still a ways from being really comfy to use. But it is totally possible to have your own little google for your file system. I have gifs on the GitHub page to at least give you an idea:

I first heard of Solarpunk from the Imaginary Worlds podcast:

Which I prompted me to post the Wikipedia link 4 years ago, several others posted similar links prior to that, and others have posted interesting links hear too:

I will deeply deeply having someone so well connected to such incredibly complex contemporary digital rights issues in a place of power. Patrick Breyer's work in advocating & sharing what's going on has been such an incredibly high form of service, has illuminated such a dark & scary part of governance, and it's hard to imagine who else in the world is going to step up & be the light in Patrick's absence.

Patrick, thank you for the many years of incredible service. Your writing online about what's happening is without peer. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=patrick%20breyer&sort=byDate

Anything this common becomes noise, since it doesn't add any new information.

Heres' another way to look at it: since the idea of HN is to be intellectually interesting (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), repetition is the most important thing to avoid (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

At least as far as Hacker News is concerned, I'd call htmx way more marketed. It has hundreds of HN submissions in the past year alone [0] including one that broke 1000 points, compared to Hotwire which is sitting at about 40 submissions in the past year [1], the most popular of which is this one.

Authorities compel tech companies to hand over data and place backdoors. They typically abuse secrecy laws to avoid public backlash, but their public demands have gotten bolder since the Snowden disclosures.

They even also do it without the companies' knowledge too.

Have you been living under a rock this past decade?

This is some droll trash. And it's being reposted every couple hours. Frag this. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=The%20End%20of%20Software

Yes but please try to avoid repetition on HN. The GP's response was rude and broke the site guidelines but https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... does look excessive to me.
