Well, for starters: Linux is of Finnish origin. Linus Torvalds might be a U.S. citizen today, but during the first years of Linux he was certainly not thinking U.S. values and that someday his biggest userbase would be there. > Weekly n

I am not . Also, I am not a VSCode user or would-be VSCodium user. I am happily married to JetBrains IDEs. Thanks. I don't need Electron nor WebView2 bloat on my nice, beautiful ThinkPad.

I can agree anti-consumer behaviour is still ingrained in parts of Microsoft, as a dormant beast waiting to be Ballmer-ized for a new round. But again, why the baseless argument based on hate? You can (for example) de-bloat Windows 11 out f

I try not to drink the Kool-Aid either on Microsoft's side (again, they are not necessarily my cup of tea), but the prevalence of the people with the "Hey! Remember that Steve Ballmer called Linux a cancer? Micro$$$hit!!" att

These are the kind of claims that make some Linux users tiresome to talk to. (Full disclosure: I am also a Linux user). I'm not defending Microsoft, they are not necessarily my cup of tea, but these claims are only true of anything pre

Chromium is in such position that their implementation of new elements and APIs set the de-facto standard for the Web and Safari and Firefox have to follow suit. This overpowers the governing body (W3C), where they have to accept it and pre

The main issue with Chromium is not that it's not that it benefits Google. The main issue is that it's so mainstream, it strongarms standardization bodies making them ineffective. Chromium is so mainstream that developers think de

I really wish there was a version of YT in Android that did not come with YT Shorts. As a YT Premium user, I should be able to disable it, or at least not make it the first thing it opens when I tap on the app icon. I mean, a legit app, not

This article is also very easy to misinterpret. This article cannot be read by software developers that still fall into premature optimizations traps. Basically, you must be first experienced or this kind of advice will hurt your codebase.

Not being snarky but, why would that matter? Even the lower-end free-tier are really good. Never hit a wall on them so far. Maybe I am not asking enough.

I was singling out the idea that a YAML front matter with Markdown is not specially innovative or attractive as a feature. In fact, YAML is pretty hard to use to be advertised as user-friendly[0] front matter that can be edited by hand. --

Pocket's existing featureset kind of overlaps with Pinboard. Maybe can Pinboard jump in and buy it from Mozilla? or build an alternative, perhaps.

It's really a skill issue on my part. LAMP stack worked for me perfectly on Linux out of the box, whether Ubuntu Server or any RHEL-based distro (even with SELinux enabled!). I spent some solid 8+ hours on that, saw it uneconomical and

I agree. Back in the day (10+ years ago), I used to argue with people about why I ran VMs instead of just partitioning the disk and booting up the OS I needed. XAMPP did not work out of the box with me on Windows (skill issue on my part, I

Exactly my point! This would kick the wasp's nest of "they (Apple) don't need this much money to operate, they can do well with 10% profit!" Which is very hard to admit, that profit margins are arbitrary when you, in

Were they transparent, what would inhibit developers from bargaining against the costs and benefits shown? Sometimes that also outweighs the benefits of transparency. You just can't show anything to anyone without kicking a wasp's
