Would be nice to have a way to show them how much we appreciate what they did. Lastly game editors have been more in the mood to screw players for money instead of being leaders of good will. I could easily just buy the game again lol

In theory it is good, but somehow it is also a big threat to privacy and security of your infrastructure. No need anymore to scan your network to map the complete endpoints of your infrastructure! And it's a new single point of control

"we never sell your data" but we actually do it... For me, sharing my data even with "privacy preserving way" is not ok with the spirit I expected from something like Firefox. Even just something like "someone open

If I just go out of a cave since one year and someone ask me who was on tv last night, I will not invent a name and be convincing that it is the truth. Or invent that you are a famous book author about cooking chicken because it sounds well

Each time I visit a bunker, I'm thinking that I would be so scared to go inside there in case of missile attack or war. What if the gate/access is destroyed by the blast, how do you leave the place? You might just be buried alive

I can understand this decision because even my own Skype account is a ghost town unopened for few months. But it is really a giant asshole move to close that in only 2 months when the thing has existed for so many years and you are a big co

Again, a big misconception that you do Open Source for money and to get rich. Also, the maintainers "burnt" listed in this blog post got pissed off because they can't control another project ("linux"), that doesn&#x

Despite what they say, this is "spyware". First they install it without your consent, but they say that it is just optional, to "detect nudity in messages", then governments and related entity could request that it is s

They could have done like Telegram in Russia and said that they will not care about that and work on ways to bypass any firewall that could setup the authority to block it.

This is so much Idiocracy going live. I understand being against anything woke movement and not caring at the environment for economic growth purpose. But here it is counterproductive. It is like killing a new better technology when it make

Time to leave Apple, to buy and use hardware and solutions that you really own and have control.

Just imagine one second if Poutine really have a file on Trump and this is the ultimate holdup to give Russia access to all US systems...

Honestly they might also totally not care about it. They might want to avoid detection while the hack is working but what is the point of covering their tracks after the thing is discovered? It's not like China will sue them, and not l

If people think that we are safe because it is a democracy, and Trump was somehow elected, let's not forget that Russia is also a democracy and Poutine was also elected and re-elected. Now we can be scared because it shows that "v

As you said it: and then want to use Rust to improve it. They try to use blackmail and shaming to push for the rust in kernel agenda down our throat when they see that the community is not willing to.

I'm quite a free speech guy, and one to expect companies to not enslave you, but it quite makes sense that a company will forbid you to speak publicly about their product or competitors. Even if the guy says "my opinion", his

In my opinion, the issue when using Airbnb is not really to find the good one despite rigged scores, but more that there is usually no interesting offer at the good moment for interesting locations. Reasonable ok ones are really expensive,

This is something that I often say: general population confuse LLMs with a kind of new generation Google and expect it to be a knowledge database. When in fact LLMs are good for some tasks but not for general knowledge. You can think of the

To me, this is more like a Rust cancer situation. Supporting and developing Rust is a nice to have, but too often its proponent try to force stuff it deeply inside important stacks that are using other languages like for Linux, or what is g

In my opinion, Firefox is trying to do things that it should not do. That explains issues that we get with weird behaviors sometimes. Like it is not the role of FF to mess with DNS TTL, that should only be the system resolver to decide if t

Embrace, extend and extinguish. Tell everyone that it is ok to use this crap because it is open source, despite our being impossible to have the exact same fully featured vscode built from source.

Also, you can't rule out the corruption-like part of the situation. When you have billions to communicate, and people like Musk have a full global network to brain wash his ideas, obviously a lot of people might be wrongly convinced th
