Well, unfortunately for them, reality begs to differ.

Of course, but that "homework" would also include considering the incentives and goals of the authors behind the toolkit. If we took the authors of Qt as an example, their incentives and goals are clear. If they needlessly break t

Moving from one toolkit to another is an expensive and tedious process. Speaking from experience, those who need to do it tend to do it once and they do their homework to make sure that the toolkit they choose has a sane API development pro

If you use system tray icons, they've been stripped out. You're expected to use another GUI library like QT to use those.

People complain because the file chooser is broken for most of their GTK-based apps and not for any of their other apps. Expecting them to link the problem to an invisible factor (API call) is ridiculous and silly, but such is open-source.

Contributing to each dependency you use is not realistic. What instead happens is that people leave GTK for more stable dependencies. This is what I did. That's what many likely choose to do.

Despite what the few naysayers in this thread would like to have you believe, there is a growing number of projects that rely on OpenPGP for security. Having a modern library for working with them is a giant plus no matter how you spin it.

Luckily, it's okay to share it here since it's for an account "that doesn't exist".

I thought body painting and other "artistic" displays of nudity where allowed. Am I wrong?

Amazon also tends to hide options until you "try" connecting to your network. My device refused to work without internet until I "tried" connecting to my network using an incorrect password. When I did that and the devic

Many of us still us just use the latest version of uMatrix on addons.firefox.com. Nothing else comes close to giving you the same kind of control.

You're missing the Forrest for the tree. What about smart door locks, smart boilers, smart heaters, smart AC thermostats. smart bathrooms, smart fire alarms..?

I'm not talking about criticism. I'm talking about publishing false information.

I'm glad to see this position growing in popularity. You should never apologise for baseless accusations. Doing so would just invite more accusations.

Coinbase has been on the receiving end of news media abusive for a short while (ever since they offered to pay their disruptive employees to leave). I don't really blame them for wanting to preemptively defend themselves.

Install privacy pass on their computers. It won't eliminate the captchas completely but will decrease the number of times they'll see them. I believe cloudflair gives you 30 passes for each captcha solved.

Try using privacy pass. It's designed for use cases like yours.

Couldn't agree more. When comparing my options, I usually discard the options that hide their prices if at least one has a published theirs. I don't even bother contacting them. I don't have the time.

Have you tried using privacy pass? Having to spend 70 seconds solving one hcaptcha every couple of days might be a good middle ground.

by hda2 6y ago
> Do the users like it? Absolutely. Having to solving only one captcha every few days beats solving 5 or 6 on each page visit. hcaptcha supports privacy pass but Recaptcha doesn't.

> It's very annoying that preserving privacy comes with this cost. It doesn't necessarily have to if Google supported privacy pass like hcaptcha does. The problem is that they don't.

This. uMatrix is a godsend for people who want to control loading 3rd party assets. It usually requires some configuration for new sites but once configured my phone runs like a dream. (ran, since firefox disabled the plugin on my phone)

I really hope governments crack down hard on companies like Apple and Nintendo. You shouldn't not be allowed to force control of the device after you sell it if the customer.

Calling the work apple would need to do a "massive investment" is disingenuous at best.

I'm not doubting your (or your sibling's) claims, but I find it extremely difficult to imagine any older person preferring a virtual keyboard to voice messages (provided they are properly introduced to the feature, of course). May
