Having done pretty much this a lifetime ago: A lot of the first level bug support work is basically deduplication (Incl "have you tried...") and asking for aditional/specific information. Excessively browsing a bug tracker is

> adding a second component you need to trust I'd even say "adding a second vendor you need to trust". Yes, these days there seems to be a strong drive to just get a big package out of a single hand. Like having the browse

I did consider paying. But I also want to do quite a bit of YouTube in private browser tabs. their age gate already makes that quite annoying. I certainly won't pay and still get such blocks...

Agree, am on Sony as well. Just make sure to pick one that is widely used and thus have other distros available. Had that with my previous one, so didn't check with my current... AOSP available, but not great. I went back to a stock im

For Android, Firefox still only allows a small list of "recommend" add-ons. The developer workaround requires listing them in some online account. I want a way to instal things on my system without a third party graciously allowin

So only WMDs are prohibited? :( A laser being able to destroy a low flying high speed missile hardend against those is probably also able to a lot more. Like destroy enemy planes. Or combatants. Or heads of states. Or pesky journalists&#x2F

Having settings is nice, but I'm not gonna spend a lot of time configuring something that I'm not yet sure will even be useful to me. Power users of / users already invested in your product will use settings to great effect,

Same. Ear pads and cable are consumables. Especially the latter rarely lasted more than a year back when I was actually using headphones 12h a day on average. Thankfully, replacing cables on big headphones is a fitting challenge for newbies

Jup, gp was talking about unregulated markets. Those surprisingly often have winner take it all outcomes. I don't want to go back to company towns. BTW back to the current situation with streaming services, we nearly would have had the

I do look at mine. Rarely for something special / useful. Sure, i won't ever again need the drivers for that dell c600 that died 15 years ago. But just seeing that installer brought back fond memories! Randomly looking in there is

Source? From my understanding, tiktok leaves the algorithm highly unconstrained in figuring out what the user wants, compared to its domestic counterpart. Yes, this alone might end up bad, but any restrictions would be exactly the political

Any program is opt-in, so you just don't have to use it. Mayor bummer. Assuming data collection is properly disclosed, ofc, but i don't see anyone here arguing against that. The "there shouldn't be any" argument jus

Idk, having other, especially adversarial, companies between service and a customer just sounds like a recipe for bad things being pushed. Like IE toolbars. Or addblock (i use it, but it certainly has societal downsides). Or all the things

> more likely an eventual move to a single pronoun that applies to everyone Oh god i hope. As a german, we have pronouns for all nouns. So far no societal backlash against those, but they just seem totally useless to me (beside maybe a t

I agree with your original example ("good reason => OK", "bad reason => BAD"). But for the in-between we should default to "not OK" as well, since stopping on a highway is just dangerous. But damn, I real

It's also incredibly slow. It also needs a way to send back the data, unless you expect it to slowly return to somewhere "civilized". So there is either tech on board or they have tech capable enough to pretty much just obser

How great are the IDEs over there for Swift? A quick search indicates jetbrains just shut down theirs, apple.com/swift/ really screams "this is apple stuff" and swift.org/getting-started/ seems like they use VS

As a layman trying to understand all this, doesn't the latest BDO report on their transparency page https://tether.to/en/transparency/#reports indicate ~40 billion usb to be in US treasury bills? That sounds

Yeah, posting that picture of them wouldn't be legal here. But the US seems to value freedom of speech a lot more than e.g. personal rights. That obviously facilitates cancel culture.

The reliability data will be collected by inspections. Also from memory, their fleet leaders tended to do Starlink launches. Loosing one of those might suck, but can still be sold as due to pushing boundaries and something that wont happen

I remember this as well, generally for nasa launches, initially. But certainly isn't the case anymore for commercial crew. B1061 launched both Crew-1 & Crew-2, B1067 both Crew-3 & Crew-4 (with a commercial launch in-between). C

We should keep in mind that Soyuz is the name of both a manned space capsule (like dragon / cst100), but also a rocket family (like falcon). You link seems to be specifically about Soyuz MS, a capsule. No idea how much SpaceX spends on

Idk man, I totally expected them to launch in 2022. They don't seem to have much confidence, or they would have done so. Especially since the "regulatory considerations" you mentioned include limits per year. Their production

Yeah, we will simply use an AI to summarize the article and comment section for us and skip all the spam and crap. Jokes aside, now that i think about it, "article summaries" are kind common on reddit, but i've never seen suc

Sure, people will complain. But at the end of the day, you platform either has it or will actually be drowned out by bots. Just like everyone is complaining about moderators, but all the "free speech" have them anyway. Bots doing

There are strong incentives to use the built-in String class. APIs for UI will use it. The first google result for "c# Clipboard" certainly uses string. It'll be a lot of extra effort, that you might not have with a different

I'm sure it will be quite easy for you to find data points indicating vaccines are bad. The reason i will nonetheless simply disregard your conclusions and stick to what to me seems to be the scientific consensus is, that it is very ha
