The images show up just fine for me? If you're like me and don't like Twitter, use nitter instead; it works just fine without javascript (the entire thread is there on one page)

The mobile app is horrible. It's a webview or something, and works like total crap on old devices. If you open a notification for a group discussion post, it tells you what the title of the discussion is--but not what group it's f

This was one of the only games I actually played in the Macs they had at elementary school (we spent most of our recess time on Napster...playing 12 different songs simultaneously in the same room, and nobody cared). I spent so long looking

There are only two references to Windows in the article. The first one says Microsoft might push an update to the UEFI revocation list blacklisting the vulnerable binaries. The second mentions that dual-boot systems are affected, basicall

If the games you play are single-player (mine are), then simply run steam in offline mode to play your games. That way anyone sharing your account is unaffected. You can also use shady steam_api.dll replacements to not tell Steam you'r

There's more than one way to do this. If the purchase is refunded on the device, the app can be uninstalled at the same time; this is how Google does it. If the app is refunded on another device or in the browser, then all it takes is

CSS spec doesn't mandate specific font names, those are decided by the font creator or css author. San Francisco is Apple's new (?) font that replaced Helvetica Neue. The typo might be intentional--I had to intentionally use the

Many sites are seemingly not tested at all. I recently tried to open a concert site and couldn't get any details on a concert, because their PDF viewer was buggy; I tried on both Firefox and chrome using three different computers, as

Bad analogy. WINE doesn't use Microsoft's services to run, and it doesn't cause the application to run in a different manner than intended; NewPipe connects to Google's servers to fetch video, and unlike the way Google i
