Must be a regional thing, because where I live, mass internet adoption pretty much started in the 90s with the dedicated Ethernet connections. As such, every PC had its own IP address, it was a time before home routers. Later, the dreaded N

The "free" hosts were already harbingers of the end times. Once, having a dedicated IP address per machine stopped being a requirement, the personal website that would be casually hosted whenever your PC is on was done.

People mourn general-purpose computing, because the writing is on the wall for future generations. The living room computer is dead, your average "normie" only has a phone, and maybe a tablet these days. What really opened my eyes

> 800$ for 720p screen and 3GBs of RAM > Can't even use a bank app with it I'm sorry, but this will never see adoption wide enough to be useful. I can't imagine paying 800 and still having to carry a "backup"

Call me selfish or old-fashioned, but my approach to open source software I make is just to "throw it out there". And what I mean by that is unless one of my projects is going to go big and have enough users to generate revenue

If this comes to fruition, my next phone is going to be Harmony OS. I hate the CCP with passion, but if there's sideloading on Harmony - that's where I'm going to go.

Python 2 situation opened my eyes to this. To this day I see a lot of py2 stuff floating around, especially around work environments. So much so, in fact, that I had to make scripts that automatically pull the sources of 2.7.18 and build th

Adding to this - that's why I insist all my students should learn touch-typing, for at least 10 minutes per lesson. It really changes how you interact with your computer, and how much touch typing quickly makes you able to type as fast

Waterfox got bought by an advertisement company System1. You should looka at Zen Browser or Librewolf instead.

I've been using shorthands for websites for a while now, "aw pipewire" looks for "pipewire" on Arch Wiki, "c cassandra" looks through my confluence, "re hotas" is for reddit and so on. It's

Try Vivaldi! It is the most feature-complete and pleasant browser I know.

I think that if you'll focus on just the HTML5 and new stuff without any consideration for legacy things it's still a big undertaking but not impossible. There are projects focused on new browser engines, for example - Servo.

I had to modify userChrome.css twice to make it work over time, because obviously, you don't want the old tab bar there at the same time as TST. But also it was very unstable for me because every time I needed the left bar for somethin

I've been using Firefox for as long as I've been on the internet, but I got really tired of using it just because "It's not chromium". Mozilla been doing really stupid and frustrating decisions that made me feel lik

I'd pay for Vivaldi if I had to at this point, it's the only browser that feels "feature-complete" to me

The problem here is how tobacco smokers are affecting people around them. Passive smoke consumption is very dangerous, and the smokers tend to ingore any regulations for smoking. Take public bus stops for example, if someone starts smoking

While both alcohol and weed can give you altered reality experience, tobacco can not. Tobacco smokers are a major annoyance and a nuisance to the public, on top of killing themselves slowly, so if the tobacco cigarrets would've been st

I feel like with the modern rate of browser development by the time you have identified and fixed the bug the fix may no longer be relevant

I am very happy with NixOS progress. It is my OS of choice for personal servers, nothing comes close to how great it is. I've been learning Nix for the past few months, and it's been a challenge tho.

And I agree with your very broad statement, our views aren't opposed to each other. Just don't confuse "the society" and "me, the individual". As an individual, I don't care about retribution, I never said

See, I'm not an american, as I've mentioned before. I can see both points, and this is my view of the situation, that you are free to call hypocritical, yet I wouldn't be able to offer anything better: Both views are right de

I think this comment is really good at highlighting the rift here. So the "poor kid" should know that it's OK to steal from decent folks, because they would never "devalue" his life for such a small thing. But, the

Not the idea, but the act, if I'm going to be pedantic. If the law would've been on my side and I would've seen my car broken into with someone in there, I would not hesitate to use lethal force at that point.

I think you're confusing rights with something else here. I'm specifically talking about natural rights, and I don't know if you're trying to steer the dialog into "what is a right" or just have a wrong idea, b
