It's particularly interesting considering Israel's ambiguous nuclear capabilities for which international entities have more than simply closed an eye; let alone the shallow, steady claims Iran would be in possession of nuclear

Personally, I wish Facebook would finally get slammed with the long overdue consequences of questionable practices when it comes to data handling and transparency, let alone minuscule control users have on own account and PII. This leak may

Is that not what has been going on with the possibly questionable cost-plus approach of NASA, let alone the US Military contracts and similar government grants for feasibleness research without commitment?

The "lossless tree history" is an amazing feature to have. I have yet to find a modern, usable replacement for the Norwell History Tool XUL extension for older Firefox versions. It allowed one to see browsing as it happened in a l

I don't believe I'm giving credence to any "conspiracies" with that comment, nor was it my intention in the least. May I suggest you stand by your words and consider a skeptic point of view on this alleged threat?

Many were waiting for this moment, and being on the way out I guess it's the most appropriate to take such decision instead of the past 4 years where they may have been hit back. I wonder, though, were will they (as in social platforms

That's very reasonable then. It's not a deal breaking issue especially so moving from or compared to less trustworthy entities already having your phone number (e.g. WhatsApp), but it had left me wondering, I thought it was used i

Google Drive UI makes me want to gouge my eyes out. Even on non-mobile devices obvious actions and behaviours are made impossible. Want to open a new tab for every folder in Drive? Tough luck, you can't use middle click nor "Open

It's a gamble, I surely wouldn't use a KitKat phone for internet browsing, it is probably no different from using an ancient version of IE from 20 years ago, it is just a matter of time before something bad happens. The biggest pr

That also killed support for bitmap fonts, a terrible shame.

I am pretty sure MicroG Lineage builds have NLPs other than Google's own preinstalled and being prerooted (or easily rooted with the extra zip) should be easily interchangeable from their settings. Though this is mostly an annoyance si

Nowadays you need to accept an EULA even just to open a OEM-provided Calculator application. Most people will - justifiably or not - ignore their actual content for they are meaningless to them and have never caused direct harm to most. Wer

Is there anything to admit, though? X.org has been in the so called "maintenance mode" for years and any development on the current main project is dead in its tracks, this is a well known fact. But no "drop in" replacem

Knuckle cracking can become a bit of an addiction, especially so in some circumstances. At some point I had grown an habit to crack my neck too, among other body parts, until I almost felt it "snap" once, with a numbing sensation

Would support for animated patterns and the likes be relatively easy, since it's controlled by an SBC? Seems to me it would be a great addition.

Yes. I suppose, though, it's a win-win situation for both parties because the author can claim to have addressed complaints and hollow threats while allowing anyone to do as they desire and, may we say irresponsibly, remove it.

It is a combination of factors, it always is. At the time of XUL removal Firefox didn't have much else going for it in terms of performance and stability, such improvements came later on around the time Quantum released, at least in my
