We've had a small amount (just 3) with plenty of space and it was fun to observe them, all sort of interesting behaviors. My favorite thing is them cooperating against a common enemy (a dog that was eating their food sometimes, which w

Chickens are very intelligent, it just happens that most people ever see chickens in overcrowded small spaces where they behave idiotically. So would you if you would be in the same situation.

That exists and it's called web apps. For native apps you need the exact opposite, access to everything otherwise it can't do the useful integrations and provide the best experience for the user, which is the point of native apps.

Unfortunatelly DMA is the reason Google is doing this. It allowed Apple to require notarization for "security". Google is just copying the same approach as it's now clear what the requirements by the governments are. Before i

It doesn't matter how hard it was to produce, it is still a derived work. Binary vs source code doesn't matter for copyright, it's just a different form of the same work. It matters with patents where you can have patented st

MacOS can run unsigned apps with GateKeeper active, no need to disable it. Attempt to run the app, then go into security settings, scroll down and click on "Open anyway". And before Sequoia a right click -> Open was sufficient.

Game streaming services like GeForce Now, Xbox Live, Amazon Luna use PWAs for iOS/iPad support, used by a lot of ordinary users. They're not in AppStore because of incompatibility with Apple rules.

All software is full of security bugs, supported or not. While supported SW fixes known security bugs it also introduces new ones. Therefore it doesn't matter much, it's all vulnerable. Security patches are also increasingly misus

You can create PWA apps for free. The installation process is a bit hidden, you need to instruct users to "Add to homescreen" the app, but a popup with instructions will do. For most apps there is not much difference of being in t

That's normal in Linux. It's always about to get really good then everything is made crappy again, then slowly improving to get good but then the cycle repeats. I've lived through several of such cycles, it has slowed down Li

That's unfortunate, mainly because they will find out that they can clone closed devices as well, in fact it's their default mode (not much of HW is open). They even clone stuff that you send them to manufacture but forgot to incl

This has been tried, even in the browser. It just leads to buttons that do nothing when clicked, scrolling to unpopulated areas, infinite loading animations and other such artifacts. It does not help, you have smooth animations but you feel

Many apps can be PWAs, these can be installed without any approvals. It is used even for some quite demanding apps like low-latency game streaming by Nvidia GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Amazon Luna, etc. They don't use native apps b

Yeah, whenever I read about someone having problems with microSD cards it turns out they use a sketchy power adapter. I use exclusively the official RPi adapter with SanDisk cards (the standard ones, not any fancy variants) and had exactly

The biggest advantage is non-technical: it has universal adoption in the browsers from early on, esp. on Apple devices. That was NOT an easy task to achieve. I do believe the previous attempt with asm.js was able to help there to ease the i

And the author is breaking a social contract of not shoving stuff I don't want to see in an excessive amount (or being a contributor of it). Before I wouldn't mind to see some anime here or there, it's quite cute for most peo

The problem is that it scares away also others. Personally I avoid such projects for any purpose, they simply don't exist for me. I also don't understand the cloud hosting argument, when we had a great whole era of Apache/PHP

Thanks for the heads up. I will adjust my cron jobs to run every week instead of every month. I need it more frequently to get more time in case there is an error as I tend to ignore the error e-mails for multiple weeks due to my fatigue fr

I wanted to copy out the "1 EUR = 0.961498 USD" part but once I end the selection (by releasing the mouse button) it selects the currency tile making the text selection go away. I think a solution could be to make it non-selectabl

The currencies in the description of the exchange rates appear to be swapped. It also doesn't allow to easily select and copy it out (had to press Ctrl+C while still selecting). Otherwise it's looking good :)

You can disable caching in Firefox's developer tools, this covers such cached redirects. Very useful combined with a persistent log of network activity to avoid clears after redirects.
