Do some people seriously care about what colour the fecking bubbles are on their messaging app? Jeebus! --talk about 'first world problems'!

ADDED: While I'm on a "Why are all browsers so shite, these days?" rant... what is it with the so-called 'Sync' festures that they all tout? None of which actually sync everything properly anyway. Yandex is proba

I've just this morning given up on Vivaldi. I'd switched to it last week as part of my recent search to find a browser that doesn't annoy the hell out of me. So, at the risk of going off on a ranty tangent... I have been us

This is complete bollox. My [small] crypto portfolio has lost about a third of its value since the beginning of the summer and, outside of the normal daily fluctuations, has shown no signs of recovery at all, since the € and £ tanked.

No. But on one of my computers, StartPage will frequently block my search with some message about my IP address submitting too many requests and accusing me of being a bot. It only ever happens on that one machine. Never on any of the other

Just fix the outstanding usability issues you've been ignoring for years and stop wasting time adding crap no-one needs.

What an odd article. None of the software quoted [at least none of the ones I've ever used] has an 'infinite canvas' in the generally understood sense of the word.

Was going to make a similar comment myself. Supporting 'internet freedom' by blocking the accounts of people just because they happen to be born in a country you don't like. Talk about hypocrisy!

Let's all hope that 'asteroid' wasn't actually a cunningly disguised reconnaissance probe, from a technologically advanced and extremely hostile race, based somewhere in our neck of the galaxy.

Call me old-fashioned if you like. But I want my note-taking app to be a lightweight launch-in-an-instant when I need to quickly jot something down' kind of thing. A ~500MB behemoth Electron app seems like a poor fit for this.

I thought of doing something like this a while back. Yet another of my 'great ideas' that I never got round to! While the images are cleverly done, I don't find them at all convincing. People's faces trend to fill out mo

Not really going to help the unemployed or people on a low income though, is it? ASIDE: yet another example of the spread of shoddy journalism there. The article says: >He also said he would cut the basic rate of income tax to 19 pen

But wait... the scientists were Chinese. So presumably they got lured to the US in the first place, with financial and other incentives. That was OK. But when China lures them back home again with [presumably] even better financial incenti

That pretty much echoes the reputation Ryobi tools have. ie. the tools themselves are really good but the batteries don't last.

That's a bit of a disingenuous comment though. I'd make a distinction between forcing standardisation on something like a power supply connector and forcing standardisation of actual products themselves. Standardisation of the for
