   Layout breaks for "ko" (and some other sounds) on desktop browser. I was thinking of building similar tool, but using hover and probably doing some smart-ish preloading thing, or adding all sounds to one huge audio file and seekin

   I was hoping to find the list of at least 3 oldest bugs, that probably are close to 25 years old too. And a promise to finally fix them, as a part of celebration.

   Technology was more interesting about 20 years ago. All different phone models, with constant feature improvements, different form factors, so many different things to choose from. Now we have a boring black rectangle running one of two mob

   While I understand the general concern of keeping Android app on latest SDK to keep it secure and periodically check, if it still works on recent Android version, I really hate when new policies are introduced. Had to resort to using ChatGP

   Took me a while to figure out that real content of the website hides under whole page covering popup.

   You know what's astronomically bad? The website that tricks you into clicking on it by presenting newsletter subscription popup and then starting to load all animated videos at once.

   Sad, that shoe phone never got any mainstream attention.

   LibreOffice Writer is still keeping the old meme about image formatting in word document alive. I wonder, why is it impossible to define area, where I would like to place an image, and then fit the image there? Now images usually are insert

   Sometimes is just hard to believe, that you can open Steam, buy almost any game and play it right away without any issues or additional tinkering, on Linux.

    Build a simple Android app, e.g. single activity from default examples, using most recent SDK and all recommended technologies. When compiled it will be 1MB+ in size and take about a second to startup. Take my old Android app from 10 years

    While Flatpak is not the future, today it helps keep $HOME directory clean.

    AppImages sounds good on paper, but when you download one, get library errors and there's nothing you can do about it, you start thinking that Flatpak with its runtimes was not so bad idea after all.

    And if your watch history is turned on - it will keep suggesting the same videos you already watched.

    Most infuriating when you run VS Code in "portable" mode and it creates at least 3 directories in $HOME. Sadly, the only solution is to use Flatpak and prevent application access to $HOME, by redirecting to alternate locations.

    Open source it and upload to F-Droid? Or, if technically possible, build a PWA version.

    This call should be extended to governments and public utilities, maybe with some instructions of easier onboarding.

    This lo-fi trend makes easier to build an alternative to Instagram and Youtube. Using modern compression techniques, low resolution and framerate requirements make bandwidth a non issue. And low user count helps too.

    Are there any "real life" benchmarks, e.g. comparing how long each browser takes for a typical popup, banner and autoplay video laden website to load and finally become responsive for user? And of course this should be a moving ta

    Let's go deeper: website is hosted on your phone, but visitor has to call your phone number to access it, using a dial-up modem.

    Any decent CSS Components for mobile apps? Preferably something a bit different than material design.

    Google could launch a honeypot extension to get offers from those new companies and keep removing offending extensions.

    Domain sellers lure you in with cheap domain for first year, but when the bill for second year comes, it's probably better to switch domains. As for hosting, your recommendation "All plans require a credit card.", and probabl

    Google could easily find a way to display ads for all extensions: pre-roll ads before extension launches, mid-roll ads when user is using extension for some period of time; not sure what is stopping them.

    Nuking all extensions that use any of the listed "monetization platforms" would make Chrome extension store a safer place for everyone.

    Sounds logical, as they keep filling homepage with videos that one has already watched. As a final touch, Youtube should add unremovable "Shorts" block on homepage.

    There are probably a set of top defaults, e.g. "gaming $1000", would be easier to cache those for faster load times.

    It makes me shudder to remember when we had to include some outlandish workarounds just to make shadows work on IE6, not to mention custom web fonts.
