The author should have state from the start that the article he bases this upon is about social science and not the whole academic and science world, it's kind of misleading Social science has always been full of incertainty and biased

For me using elementary OS for a bit was truly awful: its UX was the worst I ever used. It just felt like a gnome reskin, some clunky apps and insane defaults settings on top of ubuntu making everything worse just to please mac users. And y

For those looking for a complete 3D engine already supporting WebGPU and with a WebGL fallback if needed, there is BabylonJs (you'll need the 5.0 version still in the release candidate state) : https://doc.babylonjs.com/

Maybe because Safari runs exclusively on MacOS and so can have a lot of OS specific optimizations ?

Yay, hundreds of millions of chinese dollars invested in a brand new italian payment company doing nothing really new... So exciting, so unicorn. And almost nobody is talking about what Scalapay actually do, not in the article, not in here

Exactly. I never understood why tech-savvy people pay for some private closed-source password-manager while there are some great free and open source alternatives. I also heard good things about Pass "the standard unix password manager

This is excellent news. For years it was the only major browser with no WebGL 2 support : Chrome and Firefox support WebGl 2 since 2017 ... Most WebGL libraries have WebGL 1 fallbacks only to make apps run on Safari.

Well, I hope they'll contribute to Gecko to make it faster at rendering 3D with WebGL, or even help adding WebGPU support. Because for now, perfs aint good compared to chromium based browsers... Firefox is often way slower when usi

I bet if fdroid was censoring an app mainly used by antifa and persons from the radical left you'd be quite happy. But they rather sensor a social network used almost uniquely by alt-right / fake news writers / neonazi
