That's the problem with many proprietary consumer devices (take the iPad into this category as well). 1. Vendor lock: You can't install or change most of the things including OS and Apps. 2. Locked down OS: You can't do anyth

I agree. The auto-features should be default for bash as well as it would really help some novices to get more fun out of the experience learning to use a shell and also as an experienced user I wouldn't want to miss this. Because of t

Thank you for the hint, I used AnyDesk (think it was built by people who worked at TV) but I'd enjoy an open source solution even more if it does what it should.

- I agree, it sucks - A friend just had to use similar BS when he started at another company and I am already excited about all the funny stories he'll tell me - We can already minimize resource consumption by using apps and OSes which

Sorry please see the other answers as you share some of your thoughts on my words and I've already given my answers to that.

I don't see how he arrives at the conclusion there would be less pollution. Compared to when? What exactly would he define as such? I could counter all the stuff he proposes now with bringing in more of the bad news but I've alrea

You are absolutely right about the design of the news but despite this very bad things are happening (just the facts). Let me bring in some of those facts: 1. "25.9 million refugees globally -- the highest level ever recorded" acc

Why am I not surprised? The world is really going down right now and just following news what's going on is reason enough to cry like a baby or lose it completely. That's one of the main reasons why many people take drugs - it hel

And when you understood how it works you may want to try Symfony. Laravel also uses some of their libraries.

I don't believe it as it just gets worse and worse. I always pity the people who think they are "more productive" with a MBP while our Linux-on-TP users seem to be quite fine with their tools for at least half the price. On t

And of course the trustworthiness of Facebook. I think the others wanted to know what's going on with this project but in the end no sane person want's Facebook to have control over currency ("to move fast and break things&qu

Thank you very much for creating this - I love it! :-D I don't know about all the licensing stuff and will have to evaluate if I can use it for official business but I'm glad I can just use it for my own stuff in private without p

At least they are not the same warmongerers as the USA. Their tactics to use the legit ways of business to gain more power is really smart compared to many western countries who just invade others with brute force, military and bombs. China

Isn't this the case for a lot of tools? For me Thunderbird is one of those - there's no better open source mail client to be found and you use it because it works (most of the time). The problem with this is that creating GUIs is

It's called "remembering things" and we all used to know how it works before we outsourced that to computers ;-p Back in school we needed to rehearse latin vocabulary and lyrics of ancient stuff that I sometimes still remembe

Simple: Build the binary you upload to the App Store with the code from the repo ;-p OSS ist the only solution and finally also governments seem to accept that. I don't trust most OSes, that includes iOS & Android. My phone is bein

I don't want to be an ass but: We've been told that too many times. If it's not open source I won't trust my private images to an app. Great idea though!

We'd need some officially accepted labels which are controlled by organizations that share absolutely no interest with the share holders of these businesses. But it seems we have like 20 different labels for everything, one less worth

That sounds like a very different experience than the one I had with studying CS because it had not much to do with the things I learned and needed at work as a Software Dev. It was about stuff like cryptography on a theoretical level and l

It's not about those brands really being sustainable etc. - it's about their claims (the same with food and their labels). If those claims seem authentic enough they will ease the mind of the customers it helps them enjoy their sp

Of course one can do this. On the other hand you'll be forced to learn stuff you'd have skipped otherwise. Those contents can be an asset in your professional career and that alone justifies to study. It's not necessary to st

+1 I have few male friends I can share feelings with and most of the females I've dealt with just don't want this while wishing for men to be more sensible.

Exactly. Can't believe we are already beyond noticing that -.-

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
That's so true and I'm happy people begin to realize that. The worst for me is the vendor lock in, directly followed by the costs.

Though it's nice you built this I'd wish we wouldn't need it because of governments who do their job and protect the people they were originally intended to serve. How long can we keep up arming us in the battle against power

I think it's just stupid to trust anyone with your passwords even when they are encrypted. We all know how just after some years all encryption can be rendered useless by some technical advancement or mathematical brake-through (potent

It's their loss and it's a huge reward seeing their faces when you touch something that becomes a really good business after they declined ;-)

Very cool idea - thank you for this! On question: How does it handle those cookie pop-ups, gdpr-warnings etc?

We'll have to get used to this and I think it's actually a good thing. Of course a lot of folks speak English but Chinese is also very important and will be more so in the world.
