It's disappointing that things didn't work out. I'd looked at Xi about a year ago when I was finally running out of patience with Atom's terrible performance, but the lack of a workable Windows solution pushed me to VSCo

I have a light sensitivity condition; large patches of white really hurt to look at for any real amount of time. Please consider implementing an optional dark variant in the vein of https://github.com/StylishThemes/GitH

It's been a bit since I've last used AHK, but I believe you can also compile your script to .EXE and just take that to work with you.

Which is why you'd end up implementing tunneling for your DNS requests like cloudflared provides.

I've read in the past (sorry, don't have the link right now) that Sony also did some hardball with licensing. In particular I've been told that they threatened Capcom over Mega Man 8 and X4, saying that if those didn't a

Five years? Make that ten; the progress since Sandy Bridge has been incredibly slow. If you take a Sandy Bridge i5 or i7 CPU and turn off the mitigations, it's still within spitting distance of the current i5/i7 models. The only r

I get occasional instances. I've let everyone know to let me know if they're experiencing issues and I can check the log and whitelist specific material that needs it. That comes up now and again, not as much as you'd expect

Absolutely. Defense in depth; Pi-hole will cover devices that you can't install an ad-blocker on while the ad-blocker will cover some edge cases where Pi-hole can't do it. It should never be considered an "or" situation;

I wonder how this affects offshoot distros like kubuntu? I'm currently on Debian with KDE, but I think I might need to move to a rolling release distro due to some issues with SMB/CIFS (that have already been fixed in newest build

If you have proprietary drivers, you'll need to prepare a USB stick with them downloaded onto it. They won't be on the installer image. On my older 2011-era laptop, that's the wifi and wired network that need those drivers. I

This has been my experience-- I don't check Amazon and stop for almost anything at this point because I often find computer hardware might be cheaper elsewhere. Newegg is hit and miss but sometimes comes out way ahead-- I saved $100 on

I remember reading these over ten years ago; probably posted on Slashdot back when that place had only started its nosedive. Still pretty funny ~15 years later.

I'm generally not a hamburger menu fan, but I've come to accept it in Firefox/Chrome/Edge/etc because I rarely ever need to bring up the menu anyway so it conserves precious vertical space on a widescreen display. W

I have severe photosensitivity; large blocks of white hurt my eyes. I use userscripts with Tampermonkey to change sites like this one and Github to a dark color theme that my eyes will tolerate much better.

Your responsiveness on these questions is seriously making me consider picking up an account. I, too, am looking for an excuse to migrate off GMail (It's a significant project once you have 30+ accounts) and your product might just be

FF74 on Windows works great, so it sounds like it's something specific to that setup. Can't use Wayland on my Linux laptop, but I should at least try this on that config to see if it works on X.

This was actually one of the things I was going to reply with-- it also crashed significantly less on Windows than Netscape 4 and ran faster up until Active Desktop started to clog the whole thing up.

I'm a bit surprised at the lack of VSCode extension considering that VSCode does do Markdown.
