I think the general attitude was not that these people are conspiracy theorists and making these things up but that there response would be something like "Why does it matter, how does it affect me?" and the answer would have been

Gitlab is meant to be an alternative to entire suites of products from competitors so it makes sense. At work we make use of most of the features of gitlab so its a really great thing they include them all. Honestly I'm not sure how yo

This is rubbish. Github is massively more useful than dumping the source on your own webserver even if you do not want PRs. It would be a fairly simple change to simply add a button and remove the PR tab.

Its not simply better. Going HTML only means killing features and conveniences that users want for a benefit they mostly won't see. Its perfectly possible to make web apps run very fast.

With DNS over HTTPS and encrypted SNI, soon the only information you will get is "They accessed a website on amazon/cloudflair"

I'd flip that and say you should only support http if your website absolutely requires it. Unless you absolutely can not avoid supporting old devices you should just redirect http to https. The privacy of all users is more important th

I had always been using 2-3 year old android phones for the last 7 years and I was unable to comprehend how anyone uses the web on mobile because everything was so incredibly slow in the browser while native apps were fine. Then I got the l

Rails is an excellent choice for the backend but on the frontend its much less productive than react. Most rails apps these days would use rails as an api backend and react on the frontend.

Almost every JS app I have seen uses a tags though. Even if they are just links to # pages. With most router libraries you can even use real paths and it works all on the front end. Sounds like you found one anecdotal case that didn't

>The issue is that a lot of developers will want to use React for everything else on the page, because they think it's "icky" to use other kinds of tech in other parts of the website. It is though. I work on an app thats 8

Some interesting thoughts in here. I guess the main thing is that there is basically infinite demand for more things in software. You can take almost any feature from any product and come up with new things you would like it to do that woul

Its no wonder there is a trend now of just outright rejecting information presented when our "trusted" sources of information are very susceptible to malice and error without any real tools to combat it. My current view is that ac

I have already covered that case though. Google provides a tool to dump your data locally which they can never touch. Put all your photos on google first and then do a monthly backup to your local computer. Its verging on impossible that go

These tech companies make it harder and harder to avoid their lock in platforms. They crush and buy all the competitors and end up with userbases so big that if you do not participate you will be missing out. I never wish to sign up for fac

I use an ergodox at home and the macbook keyboard at work. I don't really have any issues these days. What does stuff me up for a while is when I remap a key on the ergodox it takes a while to stop hitting the wrong key but I guess the

Honestly not a whole lot. I have the much more expensive ergodox ez and the main features would be mechanical switches, full customization of the keyboard layout and the fact that you can spread them further out. On the ergodox you can have

Its a backup of whats on your google account. You set your phone to upload to google and once a month or so you download the backup.

Basically. I get the "its their service, and you agreed to the terms" but these tech corps are so big and powerful its on a scale unimaginable when these laws and ideas were originally created and its probably time to rethink how

The current state of things is that dpi scaling at non fractional rates works perfectly when all screens are at the same scale. Everything else works if you use Wayland and your applications support wayland as well. So basically what happen

What do you actaully want to use a computer for when on holidays? That probably determines the answer more than anything else. Without any information, have you considered an ipad and maybe a bluetooth keyboard? You can pick up older but st

This is too much for almost all users. IMO the best method is to simply store them on google and keep a single local copy. Its almost impossible that google will lose your data since they keep multiple backups and the local copy will save y

Exactly the same as with the hosted version. All you would gain is unlimited CI minutes but you can configure the hosted one to use your own CI runner anyway.

There is a feature that lets non users report issues via email which might be usable. It would prevent them participating in more advanced issue tracking and seeing other users issues though.

Was also doing this for ages but eventually caved since spotify is so so much easier. The DRM on spotify is really stupid since every single track on spotify is trivial to find a torrent for yet no one bothers torrenting since spotify is ch

Bitcoin is actually not limited by compute power at all. Its an artificial cap on transaction rate to prevent the blockchain from expanding too large and preventing normal users from hosting the whole thing. You can see the blockchain size

Its worth noting that running certbot / LE twice a day doesn't actually hit the LE server twice a day. It just checks the certificate dates locally and if they have been renewed in the last month it does nothing. I guess you still

That just means multithreaded will become more and more important. Languages like rust may gain some usage as we start to require safe multithreading.

Why assume this has to be a traditional cable. I'm imagining something in the middle of the car park that latches on to the bottom of the car. Maybe it could be 10 charging cables in a base that rises up which gives you the amp rating
