That licence is neither open source, nor free/libre software. Almost all licenses that are open source are also free/libre, and vice versa. Exceptions are very rare, because of how similar the definitions of open source software a

NTFS actually does support permissions, it's Windows that doesn't. NTFS also supports symbolic links and hard links.

That's quite different! Thank you for pointing that out.

Please don't make Indie Hackers invite-only. The Indie Hackers website is surely for people who need to find an online network of like-minded people, especially for those who struggle to find it elsewhere. They might not be part of a s

Likewise, I really doubt that all the African countries marked as iPhone really are "iPhone territory". The key sentence is this article is: > Published by Electronics Hub, [these maps] are based on a qualitative analysis of al

This bug report is at risk of turning into a bike shed flamewar and I don't think it needs more attention from the masses. Please don't upvote.

To me, the bigger surprise is that these ads on YouTube promote that Brave blocks YouTube ads.

On Spotify, there is some music that is only available in some countries. But it's a small fraction of the music, probably less than 0.1%. When switching countries, those songs will be kept in your playlists even if unplayable, IIRC.

Spotify's innovation and differentiator is that it offers music legally for free. Yes, they have a paid plan, but it's the free plan that is the bigger competition to piracy.

I don't think that Arabic users all require that all the controls be flipped. It's mainly the text that needs to be right-to-left, plus a couple of other things. Counter-intuitively, it may well be easier to implement mirroring al

That's incorrect. GMT is always the same as UTC for all intents and purposes (setting aside things like leap seconds). British Summer Time is GMT+01 (which is the same as UTC+01). The time zone in England is Europe/London, which u

I agree. I think a high level programming language like JavaScript should default to the more "correct" (least surprising) behaviour, and let the programmer opt in to floating point numbers when needed for performance. In modern J

In Javascript's Date API, the month number is 0-based (January is 0), but the day number is 1-based (the first day of January is 1, not 0). That inconsistency is unexpected and makes it harder to use. I'm glad most modern date API

Even if we only consider the direct self-interest of website owners, website owners may want to disable FLoC in order to prevent competing websites and adversaries from being able to target that website's visitors with ads. The more ef

I think there is another factor missing from both equations. If someone is willing to be available for overtime, that is valuable in and of itself, even if that person is never asked to do overtime. The company has the option of asking for

There might be a baby boom after Covid-19, but right now, we are expecting a baby bust. Economic uncertainty is leading people to delay having children, at least in certain countries.

I just checked on a website I maintain, and it's looks like Google Fonts behaviour has changed. It definitely used to prioritise local fonts, and now it doesn't. In a way, I understand, because local fonts aren't always ident

To answer my own question, these are the domain registrars that I have found support multi-user access: - https://domains.google.com - https://namesilo.com - https://namecheap.com - https://gan

Yes. Interestingly, this actually depends on the TLD. Some TLDs do not support changing the nameservers to be in a foreign country, which limits your choices. I learnt that the hard way.
