Pi-hole is still very much niche, and outside of that and enterprise network admins, the majority of users are stuck using the trash resolver of their operating system directed to the trash DNS servers of their ISP. If DNS level blocking ev

I dunno, the profits are easier and risks lower to just license the tech. Sticking to your core copmentency so to speak.

Assuming that ever happens, they will likely just license it from Waymo. I don't think Waymo intends to run a full stack taxi service, easier to just sell the self driving tech itself and let other's doing the work on real world

The "system is not hung" signal is dead now due to modern platforms making sure that nothing happens on the UI thread. Now we get buttery smooth 60 fps spinners and loading bars, but if the thread doing the real work hangs, there

If you can reliably break down your complex flow into a tree of checkboxes, you could just as easily render a truthful progress bar based upon how many sub tasks are done.

Yes, I don't see why they wouldn't. If everyone is wearing masks then the likelihood of transmission is lower. Also the viral load of any transmission may also be lower, which could improve the outcome.

Oh wow, I was wondering why everyone was talking about AMP. That is a really dramatic change.

I'd much rather the only open source phone in the world not focus on proprietary messaging protocol, especially one which is overly hostile to third party clients. I think Anbox is a mistake for the Librem. If you want android apps ju

Woah. Is there much if any criticism of Apple customers? I can't recall a single instance in all the Apple threads I've read here. Plenty of criticism of Apple itself, but that is not a criticism of their customers.

IPv6 is relatively simple. However it is hard to learn if you are coming from IPv4 and you try to relate everything back to that. If you approach IPv6 as "oh so this is how IPv6 does X" or "this is the IPv6 name for Y"
