I really hope this works out well. Maybe then we can get it on the desktop! It really shouldn't be this hard. I personally had to do a lot of hacking to get my password manager to work consistently. UX designers are really determined t

Actually, that's not completley true. pv will detect the file size if you use the shell to read a file into it, like pv < file.

> The problem here isn't that browsers are getting better. The problem is that you paid for a router that evidently uses some broken and unsupported web interface. Not blaming you; that kind of thing's happened to me too. I&#x2

Indeed. I have worked in assistive technology consulting, and it is very difficult to keep up with all of the "upgrades". It is clear that we value shiny bullshit more than being accessable and inclusive. And nobody can even make

I can see how my comment wasn't clear. The fact that disadvantaged people are being driven off the web has nothing to do with the fact that I have a highly customized browser setup. I probably should have made that more clear.

No, I wasn't advocating that anyone use my advanced browser setup. I was just illustrating that there are reasons why someone would want to do so. I really shouldn't have to do this. Mozilla should have put more effort into add-on

I remember having these conversations with web designers so many times about Flash. I can't tell you how many times I was told that HTML4 was "obsolete", and why can't we just do everything in Flash already??? So what if

First of all I'm sorry for my forceful language. I was in a rush and needed to get lunch > Sorry, I don't have time to go into the specifics of all the APIs that modern browsers have started supporting since 2014, but they&#x27

Stop using vague language like "moving forward". That is exactly the same justification for "deprecating" America's public transit infrastructure in the 1950s, and replacing it with highways. I don't consider a

I use Firefox 29 for most of my profiles. Because I have a very specific workflow with add-ons, that runs circles around any Chrome user. It's also more secure, because of my external sandboxing. I also have my own container mechanism

Well maybe companies that create this stuff should be more flexible in accommodating the users. It's not our responsibility to work around someone Else's updates. If something works now, why should it be changed because it's

When was it decided that it was the users responsibility to use the latest version of a web browser (regardless of how inconvenient it is for the user)? Oh right, Google and the cabal that runs the web decided so. Just because something is

What happened to filing counter-claims? Someone can just file a DMCA against you and get you permabanned from twitter? I don't think the IOC would have any serious standing to claim copyright infringement. Why don't we retweet tha

It's ludicrous that we in this country can't have modern infrastructure. One thing that bothers me, is that there is this narrative that high speed rail just somehow cannot work, and is a pipe dream, and not right for America. We

Example: Apple held my iPad 2 hostage until I stopped using iOS 8. I forgot my unlock pin (because I lent my iPad to someone else) and there is no way to factory reset it without also updating the OS. So now Flux no longer works, and there

I was forced to "upgrade" my iPad 2 to iOS 9.2, because I forgot my pin to unlock it. There is no way to factory reset it without updating the OS. I mean, I didn't have to update it, but then I wouldn't be able to use it
