These photos are terrible. They have incredible quality, but they're still terrible. The amount of post-processing in them makes them look fake, like somebody took a photo of the background, and then photoshopped the subject on top of

I can't fathom how they'd consider "Private" something that uploads all the sensitive information in readable form to a third party service. In fact, If I were asked to explain the opposite of private, I might give this

This isn't portable though, it's a GNU-specific "smart" things. Elsewhere, this overwrites the target device file.

A dice roll is non-deterministic. Replacing a six-sided die for an eight-sided die also keeps rolls non-deterministic. That doesn't mean it's fine to just replace the dice mid-game.

The requirements for the third party app-stores are completely ridiculous and unreachable by 99% of the individuals and organisations out there. In practice, only vetted partners with huge resources can operate one.

Some brands have TVs share Wi-Fi with each other, so even if you don't connect it to Wi-Fi, your neighbour's TV will silently share with yours.

I see it differently: as a teen, I could remember the exact word for lots of things, I could recall numbers and data with high precision. Nowadays, I'm pretty bad at all those things, but I can very well understand metaphors and connec

I can't fathom why it's so common to run docker as root instead of as an unprivileged user. Docker has supported running rootless mode for years. I packaged the docker-rootless into Arch/AUR over 4 years ago, so it's bee

It doesn't technically have a parliament, it's a presidential system, not a parliamentary system. In a parliamentary system, it's parliament who appoints the head of state. Their congress does not appoint their President, and

This is true in other fields too. Wheel-chair ramps are used by people with baby strollers. Subtitles work for deaf people, those who can't understand the spoken language, or simple folks in situations where someone is sleeping next to

The outstanding thing about these sanctions is that there's no due process: the accuser is the jury and judge. You don't need to be found guilty, or even charged to be sanction. The impact is deep, and global. Each of these sancti

A lot of Flatpak's design is a great prototype, but it's somewhat worrying (for the ecosystem in general) that this was taken as a final design and being pushed out in all directions. Portals are just a terrible design for a secur

Permissions being granted implicitly is awful for security. During installation they're _mentioned_ but the you can't pick which permissions to grant. If the developer requested it, its granted by default. There are third party to

And, of note, online payments across EU countries is most often done with American payment methods. Most Chinese companies only take US-based payment methods. Such a sanction really narrows down where they can buy online — it's not jus

One of my main reasons for writing notes is that I learn while writing: the act of dumping information into textual format lets me re-think though all of it. Sometimes I pause and realise that I need to better understand something in order

The example you're giving is for an application that operates on files. In that case, naming the menu "Files" obviously makes sense. But the obvious example of what op is talking about is Pidgin, an instant messenger. The fir

Qt is fully of bugs on Wayland, some of which are unfixable because the API makes guarantees that are impossible to uphold. I've reported a few issues upstream where there's no apparent path to fixing them (after years), and have

Keyboard-driven GUIs belong in the realm of a lost art called "accessibility", which enabled people with motor issues (amongst many others) to use applications without a mouse. FWIW, most of Windows XP's utilities and include

Agree completely. Higher speeds are a bit pointless for most users. Unless you have an extremely fast NAS, where you need to copy (not stream) data over Wi-Fi, you're unlikely to be anywhere near the current limits. I'm using 802.

The "social media" platform aspect is really offputting. That's really one of the aspects where it's obvious that GitHub lost perspective of its purpose. And atproto isn't really something I'd want to be around
