People hate change, that's not a reliable indicator. You could increase the quality immensely, most users would still feel attacked because they have to spend an extra effort to adapt.

And as soon as Apple fixes it, they're out of business? I really don't understand how any of that works.

For years I thought I was crazy or stupid, whenever I heard this story of "air has to go faster" I was like "but how does air know?? It's not like it has a Google maps plan telling it it needs to reach the other end of t

Tip: zoom doesn't list pulseaudio monitors in the available sources, and trying to set zoom's input to anything manually from pavucontrol fails silently (even if zoom is set to "use system default" or whatever it's

Are you using this with zoom, by any chance? I had no luck trying to capture my Webcam with ffmpeg, add text to it with ffmpeg, and output everything to a fake Webcam with video4linux. Actually, it works perfectly well, but this particular

Yeah, I'm not sure I understood OP's innuendo at the end, but this is totally against GDPR right?

It would silently introduce bugs, that's the whole issue.

Today I spent quite some time looking for the mobile app created by my town to allow people to anonymously denounce street harassment and catcalling when they see it. Then I found out it's just a website, and they call that "an ap

An abusive wife can force her husband to vote for X and mail the envelope in front of her. She couldn't do that if the husband was voting alone in a booth.

This website is barely usable on mobile. Slow, full of ads, and the entire page becomes dark as if a modal had been opened, yet it's nowhere to be found and closed. Won't read.

"You break the law, you go to jail. Simple as that." This is laughably ignorant. It's absolutely not simple as that, by chance.

by Biganon 7y ago
...yeah? And? Everyone does whatever they want, not even criminal law makes it impossible to act a certain way. What's your point? It's still a terrible design choice, and it alienates a great number of potential readers.

They certainly DON'T interoperate. I have a mail-tester score of 100, use SPF, DKIM and DMARC, yet Microsoft still sends all my emails in the spam folder. There's nothing I can do about it, it's a black box. The only suggesti

320 kbps mp3 is not horrible at all. You wouldn't use it to archive your music, but it's barely distinguishable from FLAC.

With "philosophers" like Bernard-Henri Lévy, who keeps getting invited to TV shows despite being considered a phoney by pretty much all his colleagues: yes.

That's not the point. In a decentralized system, every actor needs an incentive to mine new blocks in the chain. In cryptocurrencies, the incentive is the creation of new money attached to your name. But what if we're not dealing

They're saying it's cruel, but some cruelty is sometimes needed if the benefits for humanity are worth it.

Yeah people are conflating two things. If you're not responsible for your situation, you should not be punished for it. That doesn't mean a court cannot sentence you to medical measures, I'm only talking about punishment. At

Yes, two issues are a) knowing what to escape and b) what is supported or not. I was weirdly surprised to discover that there are some useful functionalities that are basically supported nowhere... except in vim. I think it was variable-len
