   Asymmetric encryption learning would be a lot quicker if they'd call public keys "locks". Maybe not very accurate, but when I heard the word once, I immediately understood the whole concept, easily.

   GitHub became more a social platform rather than just a code repository and it let you build up a community - I can't argue with that. But it's a large commercial company that doesn't really care about you. Now, when it'

   Very cool! Not exactly to _my_ personal taste, but objectively a very nice project! Kudos for USB-A 3.0. Love the openness, Coreboot and the configurator. The warranty is impressive. I wish more products like this existed! On the design dow

   At least someone talks about more or less natural regeneration, not inventing more crutches (like mechanical organs or nanorobots).

   Because there are many people who oppose mandatory Rust integration. For various reasons, not just plain dislike of Rust itself. And, for example, there's a Libre Kernel that is blob free and it has its users. There might be an audienc

   I've recently came to despise HDMI too. When I realized how many OFFICIAL standard revisions are there and how many fakes are on the market... With DisplayPort you have one cable serving you for a DECADE of HW revisions, supporting all

   And firmwares, especially from Samsung since around 2010, come with all sorts of encryption, protection, DRM and stuff. (

    The only "smart" thing I wanted in a TV is a SMB-capable media player. And nothing else, literally. I had to hack my tv to install CIFS module and a few dirty hacks to mount the NAS, but it was worth it. Because I hate to have an

    So, I assume soon there'll be a pure-C kernel fork and some distributions adopting it. And I'd switch to that.

    Many people download once, use constantly and on many machines. My dev PC was never online since it was put together, all patching and updating was performed offline. All builds were bit-to-bit reproducible.

    That's exactly why people hate tar/UNIX generally. Tons of parameters that don't EVEN CLOSELY represent their purpose. For example: -j -J if noone told me, I'd assume they were "join" or "jump", or so

    Lots and lots. Opensourced everything I could (some were made for employers), under different names. Even maintained them for a few years. Won't name any of them, sorry. But mostly 2D/3D CG-related tools, file conversion utilities

    Don't extrapolate your own experience to everything else. I've seen quite opposite.

    Call me when something "finally makes it unnecessary" to update browser or throw away perfectly usable devices. Tables work with IE6 and NetFront, so they rule. :P

    Domain names are just bytes. Call me a romantic or a maniac, but DNs must be free. Period. That's why abandoned all of my domains and stopped paying for air. Moved to OpenNIC. But I don't run an enterprise though )

    FOSS projects never fail to surprise me in their creativity of making weird, unintuitive, terrible names. Just install the damn Linux, list all packages and try guessing what's for what. Even worse than forced codenames in place of dis

    Holy shivers... That is something of a 1984-esque level! I can't give any recommendations, but, at least, I thank you for reminding us to NOT to buy things we won't (be able to) own!

    WOw! At least this one works. Thanks! But it's not for mouse drawing, more like scripting.
