I don't agree with you. A key reason to host your email with a reliable cloud storage provider is to have backups handled for you. Fastmail is particularly good in that respect, since it takes periodic backups for you, allowing deleted

An interesting service, and very competitively priced. But for me, my email is fairly mission-critical. It's not something I'm prepared to endow in a one-man shop. I don't mean to offend, but it looks like something that migh

Which desktop environment did you select? I run Debian 12 bookworm with the Gnome desktop environment. But I suspect KDE or MATE may be more appealing to Windows converts.

I have little confidence that a bug report I make to a large company is read by anyone. Particularly when it's in a generic feedback form. That applies to feedback for Google products. I suspect this post on HN is more likely to make i

This is why I preferred console gaming. You never encountered cheaters until very late in the console's generation. Crossplay ruined that.

There are also cheaters on old games (Modern Warfare II (2009)) that will inject code into your client to disable the quit menu, so you have to dashboard. I can't imagine what psyche someone must have to not only cheat, but force peopl

Actually 0%, assembly language is assembled to machine code, not compiled.

Shift is not ideal either. On Microsoft Windows, pressed thrice in quick succession will prompt to activate sticky keys, and divert focus from the web browser.

I do the same. If I agreed to subscribe, I’ll click the link. If I didn’t, I report it as spam. If Gmail offers me to unsubscribe, I will not do that and will still go ahead and report as spam. I’ll also do this if a third party has has reg

Well, physical lending and electronic lending are not directly comparable. * It's challenging to copy physical items (you have to photocopy every page which few people do) and you can't do it verbatim (you can't make a '

Thanks for the detailed response, I wasn’t expecting an official reply. I can understand the reasoning. The mitigation is good, though I did like pressing tab and having @fastmail.com autocomplete, which doesn’t happen now unless the inpu

What are people’s thoughts on the UIX of a sign in page initially with only a single username input? In my view, it is a backwards step. First, I can’t do username <tab> password <enter>. Secondly, with auto fill, it requires tw

I wish macOS had maximise buttons and window snapping. They would bolster their appeal with Windows expats if they did.

In the enterprise, I'm convinced the effort to move people away from Active Directory Domain Services to Azure Active Directory is also a backwards step. For an enterprise without extensive working from home, the new model seems to cre

They can't be compared because Signal's criticism of Telegram is legitimate and warranted, Telegram's criticism of Signal isn't. Telegram isn't even an encrypted messenger.

You're moving the goalposts now. Your comment was factually incorrect on a very basic point, own it and move on.

This simply is irrelevant. A FOSS licence fully permits what Debian has done here. So, that is beside the point.

Pragmatically, the software powering most their properties, MediaWiki, is not suited for it. It's hard to see them investing in development of a new platform given uncertainties of success.

I think he analogised it to riding a motorcycle while Windows/Linux was driving a car or something. Dangerous but fun.

You're right, it's not real mode. I think I should have said ring zero.

Not to trivialise his achievement, but I'd be willing to wager any moderately competent systems programmer, if given 10+ years and no other commitments (work or family) could write a programming language, compiler, and real mode operat

An internal crisis-management paper gave advice on what to say if discovered. What the internal crisis-management paper did not give advice on is what to say if the "advice on what to say if discovered" was discovered.

Whenever things like this come up with the non-tech folk I deal with, the conversation tends to turn to "Oh, well, I don't have any of that sort of stuff, so nothing to worry about", or "Good, child abusers should be in
