In multilingual text, a foreign word/phrase/snippet is often shown between << and >>. Not always, but often enough that it's an informal standard.

I've found that to be pretty common. I guess sites don't want to risk you losing your hardware and then not having a backup method.

If you're running a Web etc app, you can always run a STUN server too. It's not perfect but it's a step in the right direction. I'd love to see a pool of STUN servers available for this, with some randomization.

You could skip buying another display and just add a red filter to the existing screen.

I see this all the time in well-intentioned "agile" projects. They fail to fully understand the domain and then micro optimisations like this lead to features breaking in interesting and unexpected ways.

How exactly do you think Facebook are telling me this lie? You realize that I am speaking from experience not hypothetically; I don't have Facebook and there's been a marked decrease in both the number and frequency of messages fr

I did just that and it's surprisingly heart warming to know my site could run on a calculator if need be. No JS, no tracking, no nonsense. 100% content.

There are definitely a couple of big one. They get posted on here every now and then but I can't remember them because I'm in Europe and if they don't want me, I don't want them. I'd rather not interact with a compa

For traded companies, the stock price usually takes a bit when this happens. That put a fire under their ass even if loosing a load of money doesn't.

Dark mode is actually a CSS property and can be implemented by webpages directly. I use FF daily and it uses darkmode in sites that respect my system settings, because I have my system set to darkmode. I use a Mac. Darkmode is a native feat

You shouldn't need to jump through hoops of you're not already running the _next_ beta. I believe there's a beta switch in the general settings menu.

It's a real shame that FF isn't on feature parity with Chrome in some ways, but 7% is not "practically nobody". With Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Brave all running on Chrome, we're getting awfuly close to a browser mono

It's been pretty amazing since the start of the Quantum project. At least since FF70. I also switched to Chrome rims ago when it came out due to how buttery smooth it was, but switched back after it starter to get slow. Chrome's a

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, I disagree with the message. If I don't message my sister via Facebook she won't see it. She doesn't do email for private stuff and she's not going to install another app. If I don&#x27

Yes. If "do everything in their power" includes crippling global resources. Of the US did this to the regular internet, the rest of the world would be pissed.

Maybe I misunderstood you message, but I was quite surprised to see Spanish as the second most spoken language in the world. I just looked it up and the rankings are a little less black and white than I expected too. A lot of the numbers se

Should they still endeavor to avoid this adversarial relationship if the alternative is to not be treated well, or to see the company they work for do immoral things. If the alternative is to sit down and shut up, I think it's time to

But a union doesn't have to set a price for work. And the company can often hire outside of the union if they want (many are opt-in for employees). Moreover, the free market still has checks and measures to ensure workers are treated f

That's not always the case though. There's plenty of industries and workplaces the world over that benefit from unions whilst still maintaining the discretion to hire who they will. I've worked in a company with both union an

I find it so hypocritical that so many people espouse the "American Dream" of working your way up and earning more and more, they get so upset that someone might want to protect what they've earned. The truth is, many Google

I'd love to see a write-up of something similar from the EU - preferably continental, not the UK. Does anybody have any good links?

Absolutely the latter. There simply isn't any support for the vast majority of people. Yes, you can argue that some communities have support groups or employment opportunities specific for ex-prisoners, but this isn't available un

There still are a huge number of fan fiction movie projects. They just end up on YouTube now rather than going to Cinemas. If we're we're inundated with low quality fan films, Cinemas simply wouldn't screen them. At the very

The person you're replying to didn't do the research themselves. They said as much. They were just sharing something they were surprised by/interested in. I was surprised to read that's how editing PDFs works too.
