I'm not happy about tracking (I personally use Firefox + uBlock) but with the state of the web as is, I'll settle for the browser not stealing confidential info, thanks.

Chrome's entire reason for existing is that Google wants control over the client, so they can control the capabilities of the web. If they are snooping on the data of webpages or what you type, they will lose that. Also the fact that

Like my bank balance? If you have proof of that, I'd love to see it.

I second the bugginess - I gave it a spin (despite my paranoia...) and a lot of my favourite ff extensions don't work well, if at all. Chrome extensions fare better. I'm really tempted by the idea of a way more battery efficient b

That's funny, but Google has extremely powerful incentives to not snoop on me while I check my bank balance.

Idk if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but a browser is one of those things where I simply am not comfortable trying out options that aren't big or well known. At this point, the browser is essentially a window into my entire life

Idk what you mean about threads. They were a long time coming and as a member of several communities most mods were well aware of them before they came up.

If you want both face and fingerprint unlocks, the Android ecosystem has many options for you, even though I don't think any of them has face unlocks that are as "secure" as the iPhone's. If you want to stick to iOS, the

I think LTT has mostly figured out a sustainable model: 1. Make low(er) budget videos regularly that may not earn you a ton but keep the algorithm happy and the money flowing. 2. Every now and then, make a few high-budget videos that "

I imagine GP was setting up to redirect there, given the very deliberate choice of language.

Or, maybe, hear me out here: deliberately posting a link to an issue to a widely-visited community with an inflammatory title, with the explicit intent of dogpiling the maintainer led to them locking the thread? You know, something like w

It lost me in the first paragraph, because I honestly couldn't tell it was CG, even after looking at it closely.

Actually, I think Elixir's pattern matching is slightly worse than OCaml simply because there's no in-built syntax for multiple matches pointing to the same clause. Ex: (* In OCaml *) type t = A | B | C | D match A w

A lot of people seem to have missed the point I was trying to make. I'm not saying that it's unusual for Google to engage in anti-competitive dumping or kill their products; I'm wondering why so many of these actions were tim

What is it with Google pulling off the bait and switch on so many products at once? Unlimited high quality photos for Pixel owners, free workspace for personal/family users and unlimited drive storage for education are all going paid

A follow up tweet ( https://twitter.com/BWJones/status/1490802663499317250 ) mentions that they are maintaining their own servers and don't have to migrate data.

The 14 and 16” MBPs aren’t due for a refresh. The ones up right now are the air, the base model 13” pro and the mini. You can buy the 16” now and expect it to be top of the line for at least one more year.

I was sure it was satire until I started reading GP's past comments. Definitely a very post-ironic moment.

Here's a 27" 4K at $300: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PGL2WVS I have the slightly better version of this. The only major difference is the stand AFAIK - but if you have multiple monitors you might as well get

I use FFR on my Oculus Quest 2. IME, text quality is more constrained by the res of the device, and I personally find it painful to read on my Quest - whether in FFR or Immersed - for extended periods. Others don't seem to have the iss

It's a bit of a mixed bag, but overall I think it's been a positive influence. I've tried to mitigate the negatives by assiduously avoiding threads I know will have meaningless flame wars or absurd overreactions in the commen

Not likely! I'm a happy owner of the 2020 SE and I don't think people will come out in droves to buy the 2022 SE - especially if it looks exactly the same. I personally think it looks great, and I really don't mind not havi

I personally am ambivalent about it, but the argument against let is generally about keeping as much of the context of your tests inside it. The error message of the cop in TFA alludes to this when it recommends using the four phase pattern
