Not to kick dirt on their faces, but I also think Discord is just not the proper chat community open source projects should have. Might be my IRC mind talking, but a proprietary service like Discord, or Slack, or even Telegram at times, i

I'd be fine with it if Microsoft did it. I've used Bing Search daily for more than 5 years, and I sometimes go back to Google for the Image Search. Bing Images used to be great, now it's all buggy in Firefox. We don't ne

The happened to me with Uphold, precisely yesterday. It required me to install the application to sign in via web browser. There was no way, the web app wouldn't bulge. I did it, checked my $5 dollars balance and deleted the app again.
