The "how" is very obvious, but not the "why". I'd assume this much would be very apparent from the OPs complaint, but apparently not I guess...

If their target audience is someone who remotes into a random machine because a opaque landing page them to, it's probably not gonna work very well. Those people are too busy sniffing glue.

+1 This is my go to way of buying a new laptop. I've gone through 2 machines in the last 8 years (Dell 7270 and 7330). Both bought for <$400. Linux works ootb, though I haven't tried any of the more obscure distros. Though now

Same here, I somehow acquired a pirated copy of Flash when I was 10 or 11. Went through the included offline manual and within a few days somehow knew I'll probably end up doing this programming thing for the rest of my life :D It&#x27

Is it unrelated? From the parent comment: > Come on, pre-Elon you could click on a Twitter link and read the entire thread as well as the replies , now you just get a single tweet with no context above/below. I don't want to n

Here's me complaining[1] about the login walls way back in 2021, this was before the Elon takeover. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28268365 Edit: Some more posts - https://news.ycombinator.com/i

I work on building a support system right now at my job and this is the point I've been trying to make for the past few months. No, the AI chatbot should not have access to sensitive customer info. But our product manager is all-in on

Spring and the associated enterprise spaghetti developers have done more damage to the platform rather than the language itself. I've managed to work for almost a decade with Java without using Spring at this point (and count myself lu

Ha I was going to mention Star Sector as an example of a great game that's not on Steam, but looks like you've already got that covered. Highly recommended space sim for anyone else reading this!

The offending repository is copying files verbatim while removing off the license header from the said files. It's not "standing on the shoulder of giants".

Me and probably a couple of other cave dwellers use Mate (someone must be, because it keeps getting maintained). It has a the Win 9x-era aesthetics and simplicity that I've not found anywhere else.

Contrary to the popular belief, Apple is not the second coming of our lord and savior. We can thank Compaq[1] for the open PC ecosystem though. [1] https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/how-compaqs-clone-comp...

Refurbished enterprise laptops like Thinkpads and Dell Latitudes are highly sought after. They generally have better build quality than regular consumer models along with good Linux support out of the box. I've been using refurbed Lati

Flash circa 4-7 era had a really nice scripting environment for ActionScript where you could select instructions via a drop-down and edit fields for each instruction (with the fields being of dynamic input types). I've never seen somet

I recently had a PR rejected because I used the name of a fictional character from a 90's movie in my tests. Keep in mind the character itself was not controversial. The reason given was that it's not professional. Tbf, I chalked

You could try Chromecast. I've used it occasionally, never had any issues with UI, pretty smooth with no lags or crashes. It does have the Jellyfin app on it too.

Actually I was wrong. Just checked and Telegram does require a phone number to sign up. I haven't used it myself much, but was relaying the general reasons why regular people use it.

Anecdotal evidence, so take this with a grain of salt - I work with a bunch of people from Ukraine and almost all of them exclusively use Telegram to keep up with the news and family back home. From talking to them for a while, it's mo

I'm not from US actually, but from India. Nevertheless I don't think I'm the right person to answer this question :) I've never really fit anywhere, so moving to a new country wasn't a big deal, just a change of sce

I wonder if mods would be interested in hosting a official IRC channel for the site. Though now that I look back on my own memories of IRC, the amount of drama is probably not worth the hassle for the them hah. Perhaps an unofficial channel

Indeed, I am confused what's so bad about this license? Commercial use requires buying a license, and free for non-commercial uses. The website isn't using some bait and switch pseudo open-source tactics too, it's pretty clea

A genuine question, why is that a bad thing? The worst thing that could happen is someone would get curious about the word and try to learn more about it, consequently reading about Hindu mythology. There's tons of material in Hinduism

Same here. The first season was fine, but literally every character is a spiteful grating moron. Couldn't really finish the second season. Tried the first episode of Season 3 to see if it had changed, but nope, they've just dialed

Indeed, today if you want a phone that isn't gigantic the options are really limited. Zenfone also had benefit of being quite sturdy since the back wasn't made from glass/metal, so you can go without a protective case. I have

Asus allowed bootloader unlock up until a few months ago, which is why I bought the device, i.e even if the company abandons it I can just unlock the bootloader and slap on LineageOS on it. Seems like a mistake now. > Why not go for some

Asus? Though I'm not sure what's it sending in the background, but there was no legal jargon that I had to agree to, to use any of the apps. There were barely any custom apps, it pretty much relies on the stock Android apps.

The bloat depends on the manufacturer. I've used a bunch of Android phones over the course of the last 15 years. Sony Ericsson, Motorola - Pretty much stock Android. Though this was almost a decade ago, so not sure what's their st
