You're right, you may want some features but not all of them. That is why firefox provides the flags for you to turn features on/off. You mention that a user might wast "TLS 1.3, WebP, some security fixes, etc". I would

The compose key and Ctrl+K in Vim both assume the use of Linux, or janky 3rd party software. Compose is the same argument I have already covered with Windows, you need to enter a cryptic key-combination into the keyboard, which is not intui

As bad as this sounds, and I do agree with the author that appointing an ex-Meta exec to the Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) position, is ridiculous. I think it would be fair to also say that the agreement she signed would be unenforceab

It has nothing to do with literacy, the em-dash simply is not on the standard US QWERTY keyboard. This means that people who purposefully use it, either have to copy-paste it from somewhere or (if they-re on Windows), use "Alt + 0 1 5

If you don't want new features, don't upgrade it, what in the non-sequitur is this? I get the argument that it SHOULD be OPT-IN rather than OPT-OUT, but that would require annoying pop-ups every upgrade that explains the new fe

Putting the flags in Firefox just seems logical not "Hostile Design". Yes, there could be an easier way to turn it off, such as a menu item, but the flags need to be there first before the menu entry can exist. The author claims t

Actchooally: Python's philosophy (the zen of python) states: There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. So, the answer is to pick the obvious choice, which in this case will depend on the style guide of the p

Not great at what? I agree that Python is not great at anything specifically, but it is good at almost everything, and that's what makes it great.

For those who thought the article was TL;DR, the author argues. - A General programming language like Python is good enough for data science but isn't specifically designed for it. - A language that is specifically designed for Data Sc

It's a storm in a teacup. Effectively there was a proposed Swiss Law that would force Protonmail to cooperate in sharing customer data with authorities if requested. The law hasn't passed, and it was even deemed illegal by the EU.

I'm glad it wasn't just me who noticed this. It seems like the author doesn't care at all about other people; only about how to manipulate people into liking them. Gives real narcissist vibes.
