   No but I've got macOS usually set to dark mode. So the whole thing is really a self-created problem :-)

   I have the same problem with MacBooks. I always apply a matte screen protector. If you live in The Netherlands: https://www.smartfolie.com/

   Recently, me and my daughter got some scrap wood from a shop that specializes in laser cutting. We used paper and wood glue to make beds for her dolls. She really liked it. It requires creativity because the scrap wood has all sorts of weir

   Same here. This week, I made an overview of my cashflow, should my current client no longer need me. I’ll be fine but still these layoff news items are worrying me.

   I've encountered it in work-related discussions, where people would confidently label something as "professional" or "unprofessional". When in fact, it would be a completely arbitrary standard.

    They focus on command-line stuff but the graphical stuff is pronounced in various ways as well. For instance, I'm not sure where I got it from, but The X Window System is either "X" or "The X Window System", but not

    It could be an artifact of architectural choices, but Microsoft Teams also has that flickering/loading when switching tabs or chats.

    I could also see it making sense in areas unable to extend the local airport, due to space constraints, for example Singapore.

    Exactly. Some time ago, I used Qt at a job and thus I put "Qt (C++)" on my resume. That was not a good idea since like you said, Qt is its own "C++ dialect". Same goes for Python, but to a much lesser extend. I only used

    You don't have kids? My significant other is an adult, but I definitely have savings that needs to end up with the kid.

    It's been a long time since I used Deluge and found that bug, but I think you're correct. Nowadays I follow your advice and use a third-party option.

    I agree that using “nobody” is not fair, and I’ve edited it. Note that in my opinion, the developers don’t need to do anything.

    Thanks for pointing it out — yes, using “nobody” is exaggerating and I’ve edited it. Note that I’m not demanding anything. Or complaining that it isn’t fixed. How could I? The person developing it, may have their reasons which I don’t know

    SOCKS is sometimes used as an additional layer to privacy. Stock system level VPN will continue without VPN if the VPN server somehow drops the connection.

    Some time ago, there was a Russian developer(s) who built a database that logged all IP addresses connecting to swarms. They then built a nice web frontend for it, to make it searchable. That’s how I found my IP address. If you think that’s

    Oh but I don’t blame him either, it’s not a question of pointing fingers. Saying it’s “likely isn’t used by the majority“ is bad form, in my opinion. You don’t know that. I don’t know either, to be sure, but it makes me personally lose fait

    It's not about whether the client supports one non-essential feature or not. It's about a project that silently ignores a privacy-related setting, which then exposes the fact that people download something.

    In my opinion, nobody (edit: who values their privacy) should use Deluge. There's an issue where proxy settings are ignored: https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/2149 It's been open since 10 years, and this

    Are you sure that the proxy is actually used? Deluge has a bug that's open since 10 years or so, and it's about ignoring proxy settings. https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/2149#comment:43
