I used Affinity Designer as my only design tool for about a year (UI design) from late 2017. I liked it overall and I liked what Serif has built it around it, even going so far as to offer printed documentation (the Workbooks) and the beaut

I use 3440x1440 with 2560x1440 on each side. By day this is a productivity powerhouse, currently Ubuntu 19.10 with an extremely minimal i3 desktop. I use the left monitor for terminals and the ultrawide normally the entire expanse for my wo

I don't use Calendar but was able to spam F5 and after a few times, you seem to get in. About 1 in 15 times I'm managing to load it at the moment. Looks like some instances are live; but capacity is evidently a fraction of what it

This seems to be very much change for the sake of it. "The traditional desktop computer is struggling to adapt the simple interfaces of mobile devices while also keeping its focus on productivity." No, no, it isn't. Desktop i

Well, it's subjective. For me personally light interfaces make my eyes hurt. Dark themes are, for me, without questions MUCH easier on the eyes, irrespective of what this article claims or the science says. Dark mode is a choice. You d

Writing with PHP is better than ever... and getting better and better. And... you don't need too worry too much about the server, or the request lifecycle, or networking... you just write your app, in a language which is, in my opinio

But the bigger point is why are they even sniffing UA strings? Google, who advocates for everybody else that you should use standards and proper feature detection, still relies on UA whitelists for their own products. Then look at google.co

Typical day, at the end of the day (machine has been up for 8+ hours) I'll have 20-30 tabs (or more) open across 5+ Firefox windows. Some of those tabs will be lightweight, like GitLab issues, forums or webpages I'm building, wher

I don't no, just regular F12. Sadly, I still find Chrome to be much easier to work with for dev than Firefox. Firefox has made great progress lately with the devtools, and the new bits like Grid Inspector are awesome, but it's sad

And I have a really hard time understanding where the OP is coming from saying Chrome > FF ;) It is odd; I don't dispute that Firefox evidently has some performance issues for some people – there are enough reports from people on va

Find the exact opposite (except for devtools, unfortunately that's still a real issue). Firefox for me is MUCH faster on all hardware I use it on, without or without extensions. Chrome feels bloated and sluggish... Firefox just flies,

Erm.. I never stopped using RSS. I have never consumed news primarily on social media, I subscribe to hundreds of feeds and that's always where I get my news from. I use Feedly with the wonderful Nextgen Reader client for Windows. 10&

Good! I stand firmly against AMP and the centralisation of the web, it's a predatory move to increase Google's prevalence online, and one I will not be supporting with any of my upcoming projects.
