The real hegemony is the Blink hegemony. Google (an advertising company) can pretty much unilaterally dictate web standards. A terrible state of affairs for the web. That's the real issue and using another Chrome reskin is never going

At some point, Backblaze just silently stopped backing up my encrypted (VeraCrypt) drives. Just stopped working without any announcement, warning or notification. After lots of troubleshooting and googling I found out that this was intentio

YT decided to build their site on top of the world wide web; a technological foundation that inherently gives users a lot of control. If I decide that I don't want to render some specific HTML element, then I'm not going to render

The upside of starting with Consider Phlebas is that the story doesn't really take place within the Culture. It provides you with an outside perspective. It also sets up some things that are referenced in later books. The downside is

If (under our current economic system) it is impossible to run generally useful services like that without subjecting their users to advertisements, then clearly, there's something wrong with the economic system itself and we should st

Deployment is generally pretty easy, but there's still a lot of stuff an all-in-one cloud product could add: * Automatic Scaling * Additional processes like queue workers, crons, ... * Managing rollouts and rollbacks * Manage

Really? WoW used to work just fine back in the day (~2010). Is that no longer the case?

Almost nothing in that article is true for modern versions of PHP. It's definitely obsolete.

Turns out ads aren't just annoying little acts of psychological terrorism that eat up a lot of bandwidth and computing power, they are also the #1 vector for spreading scams and malware on the web. In other words: If you're trying

I've had the exact same problem for a while. Here are some of the sites I've been unable to access (found by searching for "just a moment" in my browser history): - https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in

If the current economic system doesn't allow for a web where I can watch cat videos for free without being psychologically terrorized by megacorps, then perhaps the economic system is the problem.

Looks nice, but I can't register because Cloudflare hates Firefox users. (I was able to register an account using Chrome)

Hm, I don't really see how this is Reddit-like. It doesn't seem to have anything like subreddits. If I wanted to recreate a subreddit on non.io, how would I do that? How would I enforce rules?

It's really kind of crazy to see. I just checked some of my favorite subs and out of 22 subs I checked, 20 are currently private. I've seen some people claim that it's just the "powermods" pushing for these blackout

Safari doesn't even meet the most basic requirement for a web browser: Support for uBlock Origin. If Apple cared about privacy, they would support uBO.

Phabricator, much like WordPress, kind of lives in its own world and hasn't adopted most aspects of modern PHP. Even as someone who works with PHP and enjoys it, I wouldn't want to use Phabricator.

There's no double standard. All the other secretaries of state and presidents are, of course, also war criminals.

There is no "Chromium without the Google". Chromium/Blink is made by Google. By using a browser built on Chromium/Blink, you are actively supporting Google's browser engine hegemony.

Reducing reliance on Google by partnering up with a different ad company instead. What good does that do? I don't want ads anywhere near my browser. Here's what I'd really like them to do: * Stop paying out millions to execs

Yeah, it really sucks. I've been using Firefox for 15 years or so but this shit is just so discouraging. Can't we have one piece of good software that doesn't try to shove "relevant" "suggestions" from &qu
