I don't know what's your benchmark to say those things? OnlyOffice works better than LibreOffice, which is a native app. Photopea works better than GIMP, which is a native app. These devs clearly know what they're doing. Reac

Seriously it's just bizarre how obtuse HN can be when it comes to piracy. Nobody is dumping their own games. Very few buy the switch games they emulate. The following usual claim is "it's Nintendo's own fault for not rel

Why make it sound as if either of those things mean anything? PG&E provides natural gas and electricity to 5.2 million households in the northern two-thirds of California. That's 2% of one country... Even worse, this news

> They’re not secure because all it takes is a trusted person to go rogue. That's right, which is exactly why we have hefty consequences when someone does it. What would you suggest be an alternative? Have no secrets? Give medals to

I went through the same process you did and tried to make edge work for me and failed. I don't want to be constantly fighting my browser to respect my choices. That being said, the following is incorrect: > Even after you change tha
