I wonder how it ranks against Windows. But yeah, I accept that's still an issue. While I'll concede that I'd rather have the ability to choose zero, I think iCloud connections are expected if you're actually making use o

Yeah while it is genuinely the substance of nightmares with Windows 10+ with its insistence upon using a remote account. But Mac OS will ask once and it's perfectly skippable. Of course, if you wish to access iCloud or the App Store, i

Seeing as you're posting from the 1980s, would you mind buying a few stocks for me? I'm not born yet but we'll split the difference when I am ;)

Nextcloud has a rss feed module available to install. There is also a compatible mobile app that will sync your feeds from your NC box. Quite handy.

It makes you wonder how parents coped before the advent of modern medicine. Infant mortality was so very high - many of them wouldn't even get marked graves. This is also why the median age of death in the middle ages was so low.

I see quite a few opinions here detailing the pain of PgSQL upgrades. From those in the know, if you've time to bestow: how does it compare with the main rival relational db engine, MySQL, or its offshoot MariaDB? (I know I could ddg

No good deed goes unpunished, especially thanks to the reach of the modern state.

Correct. The man isn't hiding anything. He once said: "The only patches we won't accept are those targeting BSD or Hurd". Gnome 3 isn't worth the price of Systemd.

That sounds a bit like UDP multicast. One of those tragically under used features of the networking stack. Ripe for abuse were it exposed on the open Internet certainly, but still very cool.

This looks like a souped-up Outlook Express. I like that.

The changes were contentious and generated some of the liveliest discussions about any feature change ever made in NetBSD. Parts of those discussions will be covered to provide insight into some of the design and implementation decisio

We're slowly closing the gap with China, aren't we? What will happen when this technology is applied more widely?

Excellent lightweight and pure Win32 software, always finds its way into the system whenever I need to visit MS-land. Never change, and please never do a "modern" electron.js hell rewrite, Sumatra PDF is an exemplar of something t

Hah, the former. My work isn't that arcane; I've a habit of saying XLS when I mean all things Excel. But there are compatible CPAN modules for either format!

I'll speak up for Perl. I learntbit voluntarily in my own spare time and actually get a lot of delight out of the language. I like that it is very unrestrictive. The sigils make sense when you wrap your mind around them and you miss th

This + mouse to focus. Give it a week and you'll never go back. Even Windows has a hidden "mouse to focus" mode it calls X-Mouse.

The specs of the device linked in OP aren't that far off the PineTime. Maybe if we ask very nicely we can get the source code and begin work on a PalmOS port!

Limited and deflationary currency is a good thing, because it limits power and disincentivises impulsive decisions. An umlimited supply of currency like that underpinning our current financial system is hugely predatory and benefits only th

Yep. That would be the legacy (predatory, inflationary) financial system.

Not quite, MSN messenger had the option to save all your conversations as XML. I still have them in old backups. It's a wild throwback. Even though it is mostly mindless chatter, it is nice to have. It's definitely a shame that th
