Visual Basic (and other 90s visual GUI builders) were great simple options for making GUI apps, but those GUIs were rather static and limited by today's standards. People have now gotten used to responsive GUIs that resize to any windo

Filtering for GP's requirements on GSMArena.com, I only see a handful of recent phones. Some of them do have an unlockable bootloader, but all of those are made by GPL violators, so you won't get the source code necessary to reall

That seems compatible with OP's suggestion, just with X being a large value like 100 years, so sensitive information is only published about dead people. At some point, personal information becomes history, and we stop caring about pro

In the EU, lights have to be sold with a mandatory energy efficiency label. A lesser-known component of this is that this label includes a link to a standardised datasheet, which includes things like flicker metrics, CRI, chromaticity, and

There's software where the continued existence of a diligent community around that project is necessary (web browsers, OS drivers, security-critical software...), but there's also software where I don't need any of that and I

The way I read it, they probably have Ethernet on their gaming desktop PC, just not on a second device to run a local speed test.

It matters in that it opens up competition and allows fully-open designs, which should keep prices low and products available, but you're right that having fully-open state-of-the-art chips is unlikely to happen any time soon.

They're great, because you can use all standard ARM tooling, including CMSIS-DAP dongles for debugging.

That's not clear to me: Will they do fewer releases, or will they have the same quarterly release cadence as now, just with only every second release open source?

You seem to think an SSG is some burden that people put up with due to sunk cost fallacy, but I don't see why. The Markdown-to-templated-HTML pipeline code is the same whether it runs on each request or on content changes, so why not c

Vega GPUs should be very well supported, especially for basic desktop stuff, since Ryzen mobile CPUs shipped with Vega cores for many years after the dedicated GPU line.

I think Linux is the better choice for replacing the entire userland. From what I've seen, the BSDs don't have such an accessible userspace/kernelspace split. With some effort, on Linux you could probably just run an exe as y

10 USD seems like it should cover the electricity for a small mini PC server (counting maybe 30 watts idle), and if your electricity isn't expensive, it will cover the purchase cost spread over a few years too. That of course assumes t

This is very cool. Having to always set up a server is one major downside of Postgres, with cumbersome updates being the second. This solves the first and has potential to help with the second. Is there a way to compile this as a native lib

The code was floating around the Internet some years back, and was probably privately shared much sooner. I just wish these groups making fan-made builds would share at least patches, so they don't become gatekeepers and others could b

Can is the key word here. As implemented today, users can choose whether to use digital ID. In my opinion, problems would only start if the users had no choice and the government was the one choosing for them.

I don't see how that's the case for digital ID by itself. I'm also pretty sure that we can analyse the impact of a single technology without also blaming it for the downsides of other, distinct policies.

by dvdkon 11mo ago
Yes, but that means digital ID isn't the thing to complain about.

I feel like we're talking about completely different things. What's currently implemented in various EU countries is basically OAuth, where user attributes are verified by the state. Being able to map that account back to a specif

At least where I live, there's no extra information being gathered. The only difference is that I no longer have to physically go somewhere to deal with that information, because I can sign in to government services online. Information

You can't ID people on porn sites with what's implemented in most European countries either. I feel like what you mean by "digital ID" is very different to what others mean.

My usual impression of GitLab is that it has too many functions I don't ever use, so the things I actually do want (code, issues, PRs, user permissions) are needlessly hidden. What's your workflow that you find GitLab's UX

Applying your argument more broadly, we shouldn't critique any product or changes made to it, and I don't see any reason why that should be true. Caring about the products you use is pretty standard behaviour, and when the product

At least here in the Czech Republic, ISPs have to also list a "guaranteed speed", and it can't be less than some fraction of the advertised maximum. I don't know what part of the Internet that speed is supposed to be mea

I can see it from the point of view of e.g. a politician, where reduction in reach has a direct impact on the number of votes they can expect. Disadvantaging one is as good as giving advantage to the rest, and in the context of politics tha
