Unless you are playing the competitive games that won't turn on anti-cheat for Linux, this seems statistically incorrect. Valve prioritizes fixes for the most popular games, so the games most people want to play will work (if they are

Jesus, this just triggered another nightmare scenario I should have thought of earlier. People are going to have it write and/or comment a function whose purpose is non-trivial and not straight-forward. It will be not or imperfectly ch

That's interesting thanks. I wasn't aware of the Singapore one. It seems to be the broadest, but based on the linked page, it's not clear to me how it would come down here. It requires legal access to the material first, but

None of those tools have actually been legally tested, and there is a reason much of it has been using data sets laundered through academics.The companies behind them know this is not at all a given, and academics make for more sympathetic

It is built into every browser's dev tools, but the point GP was making is that the way many websites are built now means that for an external observer, the way you refer to an element changes with every reload, or with every new build

From the post: "The CRAPL says nothing about copyright ownership or permission to commercialize. You'll have to attach another license if you want to classically open source your software." It is explicitly the point of the l

Does Vivaldi support add-ons/extensions on android? I don't see it mentioned on the landing page. Granted, ad-block is the primary one and included by default in Vivaldi, but I still like there being a possibility for extensibilit
