Who is CB? Anyway - Extensions based on a minimal subset allow for fragmentation. Yes. Which is probably intended? This can become a problem. Yes. Therefore it should be possible to declare a use case like "all purpose computing"

It is like a repeating story, every time someone sells the magically solution to all problems and apply a name on it people blindly believe it. This are tools. A screwdriver is not the right tool, when you need a power drill. And vice versa

Aluminum is not better than plastic. Neither is plastic better than Aluminum. What matters quality and usage. Planes[1] without aluminum? Ouch. Cars[2] without plastic? Ouch. I prefer ThinkPads because the use high quality plastic chassis a

I'm hanging around one traditional forum. The benefit is that they form communities around a common root. It doesn't even matter that the root isn't shared anymore by most people because the forum has evolved into different c

The definition of general computing devices i.e. Personal Computer (PC) is correct and applies to smartphones. Making open usability a legal requirement makes sense and is what we need already for a long time. The difference between a cellp

Apple? You want do something for developers? Open up iOS because it is actually an all-purpose computer system for the pocket and not an appliance. 800 Euro for the smallest iPhone? Well, that is incredible much. Okay Apple provides reliabl

What makes GNOME3 good is it keyboard usability. GNOME is comfortable and fast to be used with the keyboard. For professionals as well as normal people. It is incredible how underestimated the success of GNOME-Shell is outside of ther user

I frightens me, that people buy and use things when they look nice. I'm glad to use free and open software - not bug free, but at least free and trustworthy. Had a lot of trouble with Gatekeeper, signing, notarization and stapling it i

I'm sad to see people buying things only because the look comfortable and nice. Here happens finally what was predicted a long time ago and it shows why everyone should use free and open-source operating-systems and applications. I tri

I'm thankfully for the native games from Valve on Linux. And also for improving gaming on Linux in general. Steam? Steam itself is not necessary and is just another system to lure users and developers into a Vendor Lock-In. Everything

The most interesting thing here is, that this could bring support for WebExtensions to WebKitGtk! Therefore to Epiphany, which really need Extensions. Interestingly enough, I have the feeling leaving Gecko as foundation was a wise decision

Apple doesn't provide a good documentation and tools about manually creating Apple Bundles, Signing, Notarization and Stapling. When you cannot use XCode or don't want use XCode you're in the Apple Hell. I've ported an a

A nice way to declare command line options and arguments. I expected already templates, but some of the generated code looks strange: static VISIT_STRUCT_CONSTEXPR const int max_visitable_members = 69; https://github.com/p-r

Backwards compatibility for code is important, like progress in language evolution. I have question regarding "C has no ABI that could be affected by this, C doesn’t even respect qualifiers, how are we breaking things?!" We have l

I really like the 747-8I it is a pretty plane and actually also economic. Widebodys are more comfortable and the upper deck is just awesome. For those who wanna fly with the 747: Book a trip with Deutsche Lufthansa or Korean Air. They both

There are very good messengers, they are just not pushed by big money and group pressure. The problem is always, that people don't care about what they do (to others) and apply group pressure for the benefit of the company. matrix.org
