Passkey was a great idea. A brilliant solution which could have solved authentication on the web once and for all. If only Apple, Google and Microsoft had not completely ruined it by tying it to their platforms and using it as another moat

Because Deutsche Bahn has been on steep decline for nearly 2 decades now and is the laughing stock of Europe right now. Witness the calamitous state of getting the fans to stadiums during the current Euro 24.

It was absolutely based on location. after ICQ, from what I remember AOL Messenger was the dominant force in the US, MSN was very popular in many countries, but across Asia, Middle East, and many Eastern European countries, Yahoo Messenger

WhatsApp and FB Messenger are equally popular in Australia. I'd pre pandemic FB Messenger was definitely more popular but there's been a gradual but noticible shift to WhatsApp since.

I think this is an outdated view. I run a dev shop which develops applications in . Net + Angular. We have always given devs freedom to buy whatever laptop they want and put whatever OS they want on it, as long as they can work with everyo

It's not fud. 2FA traditionally means relying on one thing you know (i.e. a password) plus one thing you have, or one thing you are (biometrics). Every single one of my passwords is unique and randomly generated and at least 32 charact

There are different ways to avoid this. Nearly all of my 2FA are in Bitwarden, because it's just so damn convenient. But my Bitwarden itself uses YubiKey as 2FA. Since I adopted this setup last year, it's been the best if both wor

I once emailed Dijkstra. I was 14, it was the mid 90s, and I had just connected to the real internet a few months ago. I had just come across his name as a prominent computer scientist. I wanted to be one just like him, so I asked him what

This is true of some languages which have a high rate of change, such as English, but much less true of others. As a native Persian speaker for example, I can read the Shahnameh (Book of Kings) of Ferdowsi, which was written around 980 (ver

The only other (semi) alive browser engine today is Servo, originally by Mozilla (and the reason Rust was created for), which is these days a Linux Foundation project funded by Igalia. There are small web engines anymore. Every other one, f

Horses for courses. I loved KDE 2 and KDE 3 and even contributed minor patches to it (using CVS. .. shivers) Back then there was no contest IMO on what is the best Linux DE. KDE 4 was an unmitigated disaster of course, which pushed me to l

Kagi has just also integrated with Wolfram Alpha, so it is now much better at answering factual questions such as population of a country or timezone. Wofram Alpha has always been more accurate than Google on these questions. Showing the sc

Indeed. The last car I drove with such terrible handling and body Rolle was a 1984 FJ Cruiser. They certainly are a class apart.

and once you're done with that, put James Joyce's Ulysses into ChatGPT and ask it for the points. You know what I find "insufferable"? That more and more people seem incapable of reading or writing beyond dot points.

If you put any restrictions on usage or what can be done with it (like selling), then it's absolutely not open source. open source doesn't mean source code is there. open source has a specific definition. There is a list of accept

I second this. Seriously, don't use AKS. It looks so nice in the docs. In practice, you'll run into so many issues, I'm convinced no one actually uses AKS in production for anything major. If your apps are simple enough that

There are also browser extensions which can do that redirect, but of course the story of browser extensions on mobile OSes is quite sad, and I'm sure Reddit will get rid of the old UI of these days anyway

Every once in a while, I looked for an alternative to Google. I have given them all a go, but none of them stayed as my default for more than a few days. Until Kagi. I absolutely did not think I would pay for a search engine. Especially as
