I reiterate what I said in another thread (and invoke Don Mattrick): If you want AI slop, there's a perfectly fine*** product for you already out there - it's called GitHub. For those of us who are tired of AI messing with things,

He was the original "uncle who still runs Windows <3.1/95/98/XP> long after support ended because 'Nothing newer is better'" guy.

KeePassXC "supports passkeys" but the website/app that offers the passkey needs to offer it in the correct way for KeePassXC to ingest it. I've found a fair amount of scenarios where they don't correctly let you dro

Passkeys bother me because they depend on the availability of another device. That just won't cut it for a lot of folks, especially people that are prone to losing devices. It's also annoying to have to deal with the 50,000 places

Reddit HAD almost 20 years of comments, until about three years ago when they started to lock down APIs, remove moderators, and make poor choices. Users reacted accordingly and now you will just see a whole lot of [deleted] or comment conte

This is nothing but a good thing. We need respite from the chaos and unrefined unregulated slop-filled AI coding world. If you want all that, I got a product for you - GitHub.

You didn't try changing the user agent? That usually defeats whatever monopolistic mechanisms they put in place.

I have used 2FAuth for years and it is rock solid. You can self-host it on a NAS or a pi or local computer via Docker. https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth

It isn't being retained in the way it is now. You won't be able to open Intel apps, and won't be able to use x86 CLI items like wine.exe Some dev support is being retained but you shouldn't consider that "will be re

The edition of Minecraft on phones/tablets/etc is more locked down and limited than Java, so unfortunately your options might be somewhat limited (though not impossible). I have run a Docker Minecraft Server (itzg/docker-mine

I disagree. When OS X went to Intel, there was an explosion of Mac games on Steam. Valve went all in with big ports of TF2 (complete with exclusive era-appropriate in-game items like the earbuds), and all their other games soon followed. Ap

Game Porting Toolkit will be irrelevant unless it's as open and free to use as Proton is. Linux has far and away taken the lead here. It also doesn't help that x86 compatibility is being ejected, so you can't even run basic W

I feel this would have been incredible....in the 2014-2016 timeframe. There just isn't any room for this product anymore. Pebble was at the top of their game before Apple came in and showed them up.

Edge has less browser market share than Firefox right now, it's not the "vast majority."

Waterfox has one built in, as does LibreWolf. Regular Firefox is bloated and contains poor decisions made by Mozilla. The best way to use it is to use the aforementioned forks which remove the excess and add sensible conventional features f

Just a little tip - If you can't put the context in the title, please add a comment that provides it. It's annoying to see titles without context.

I don't understand - why not just make a Mastodon server and join the fediverse? Bluesky is a dead end.

This can't exist in 2026. Sorry. It's just going to be AI bots claiming they're not AI bots, racist/awful posts, or just dangerous activities. It's not the 90s anymore.

This article feels like ignorance. The best "Windows Lite" is a Linux distro with VSCode, .NET, PowerShell, etc. There is no hope for improving Windows at this point.

To me em dashes have always just been an annoyance. For example, Word and OneNote were (and likely still are) very keen on converting every dash to an em-dash by default, and I frequently find myself needing to immediately undo that.
