What you are saying goes beyond software, should all books be in English? Should all content on the Internet be written in English? In my opinion it would create a really sad mono-culture... Each language carry part of its history and cultu

It's based on marketshare. iOS doesn't have enough marketshare on the smartphone market to be bothered by those laws. If apple was controlling the whole smartphone market, it could fall under those laws, even if its operating syst

Those aren't based on nothing. There is laws and being a tech giant doesn't grant the right to go around those. If those fines aren't justified, those companies can use the justice system in place to fight back, like everybod

If iOS would have the marketshare of Android, it would be hit by the same regulations.

Tiling manager remove the need to resize. You use virtual desktop to switch between apps. If you need several apps side by side, tiling comes in place. Tiling manager are often keyboard driven. If you use mainly your mouse/touchpad, it

When I had the need for a video editor a few years ago, i was quite happy with OpenShot. I have nod idea how it evolved though, but back then I found it was the best balance between being easy/efficient and not crashing with the hours

I wouldn't call the campaign demonizing, it's not like cigarettes are just a slightly bad for your health... There's way enough studies to back campaigns against it. I wouldn't call this moralistic... I have the feeling

I'm not confusing anything. Our current way of living is supported to the availability of labour that works for wages and in conditions that would be illegal in our countries. And there's no way this will never change

Indeed. Usually the number of actions to get to something or do something is a big part of UX. It becomes critical when the software is a tool used for repetitive tasks. This sounds like a project where the users haven't been involved

I wonder if it is possible to licence myself, the same way a software, for example, is licenced. Meaning that any company like facebook monetizing data whithout any agreement between me and them would fall under my licence. I have absolutly

Don't mistake a country and the regime that is leading it. Is punishing a whole country (so including the population) an efficient way to change a regime behaviour? I'm not sure history proved this right... Just look at Cuba ... C

From a documentary on channel 4 about this, the risk was more to run out of coal before arriving as the fire would have been ongoing since the departure and been quite big.

Yes indeed, I'll double check. I have one router (my ISP one) that is definitely using google DNS. My other router is supposed to provide DNS and forward it to my own sever, but I'll have to double check my setup then...

by boudin 8y ago
Thanks, I'm quite curious if it would be the same for you. Since it didn't use the server DNS I had set on my router, I assumed it was always using google DNS, I didn't look further.

by boudin 8y ago
Maybe both my cell and my home ISP use google dns then... I tend to use a VPN (wireguard) to use my own DNS (without my server having to be public)

by boudin 8y ago
By default it still uses google dns I think. But other than that, not much. What you describe is what this project is about though, i don't think they are saying that alternatives like lineageos are tracking you, they just compare to s

I personally prefer creativity over everything looking the same. I also prefer that people who build things I use spends time on the actual features of the app rather than hoow it looks on this or this operating system. Some level of integr

Performance-wise yes, logicaly the difference would come from the driver part. For the firmware, it's hard to know, i think only someone from AMD can answer this. It's technically possible if part of a firmware is used only by th

by boudin 8y ago
Firmware isn't opensource. Kernel and userland drivers are. There's RADV as an alternative to AMDVLK which was created while AMDVLK was closed source. Both are maintained.

by boudin 8y ago
Indeed, AMDVLK was part of the AMDGPU pro driver first and was opensourced in december 2017, so it's not new.

by boudin 8y ago
It really depends. Hardware with support in kernel does work really well. I have less issue with my AMD graphic card on Linux than I had in Windows (random blue screen, gpu resets, a random driver version that will just not work). Granted,

I've been living in central London (zone 1) for 3 years now and never had any issue (nor my partner, nor anybody I know). It might also be due to the area being touristy or not. I remember a crime map (I can't find out this link a

Not really no. It's more problematic, a good amount of vendors doesn't allow applications to run in the background and it's not a matter of notifications. It's a big issue with IM apps like Conversations or calendars and
