Ultimately, they need to monetize. This is just my prediction of how they will do it. And it capitalizes on the same processes as Twitch, YouTube, etc. You will be able to pay one offs for a tweet you like, like Reddit gold. Or generally bu

I should have left a "sequence shortened" warning. Windows 10/11 offer you 4 options when an update is pending. "Update and shutdown", "Update and reboot", "Shutdown" and "Reboot". Perf

The biggest problem is that Firefox updates the next time you open the app, without warning. That's not a sane decision. Sane would be to update on closing. Same way Windows offers to "Update and Shutdown" (you don't nee

I said that dictators are *willing* to make their countries poor. That is different from wilfully make them poorer without marginal gain.

Yup excellent if it pans out - although Kazakhs remain sceptical. But it is quite extraordinary to see parts of the government lead by Tokayev, eject an autocrat (Nazarbayev) and begin the process of democratisation. And it does seem to ste
