Any plans to introduce the ability to control/limit bandwidth (per-app)? Something like that would be a great feature to have in an open-source tool.

In general, when tech-related companies have problems like this (with potentially severe consequences), I think a post-mortem should be a minimum expectation. I just feel like the way this post frames the issue is almost like it doesn'

They're a relatively well-known company, currently owned by LogMeIn, though that seems like it will be changing. It's definitely not some solo person's side project or anything. They're one of the most well-known names (

I think one thing that really got to me is that the post is by the VP of Engineering , which for some reason gave me an expectation of a detailed explanation of the problem, only to find none The post sounds like it was actually written

Posts like this are so frustrating. It's a whole lot of words to say nothing. There's a small mention of the alerts being triggered by a bug/error, but it is surrounded hundreds of words of deflection/spin. Additionally,

I think it's a reasonable response for atheists that were raised in these systems to have this strong negative reaction to that prior belief system. This "hate", however, is not directed toward an entity this atheist thinks e

Why does it feel like it is inevitable that standardization/licensing organizations in tech will always eventually turn into a user-hostile mess? USB, HDMI, what can we screw up next? Is it incompetence? Malice? I'd really like to

I'm not actually saying that I agree that it hurts the creator, just listing the reasons that I don't bother blocking them. I am not necessarily against the idea of sponsorblock- I hate all advertising in general (and even despite

I think that's ideal, but will never happen, because aside from creators making money, YouTube wants to make money, and they won't make anything on ads built into the video

I don't know, I look at it almost exactly in the opposite way. I used to block Youtube ads with uBlock and now use Youtube Premium, and ads that are baked into videos by creators themselves don't bother me. The ads that are baked

As long as it's not web-based, I still have an interest. I completely lost all desire to touch any "web code" But if we're talking locally running python or controlling hardware via microcontrollers, or things like that-

On desktop, it's still Firefox as #1 for me, Edge as #2, and everything else is extremely distant 3rd, except things I might test out to see if they have a use for me. I know the idea of "gaming browser" is instantly cringewo

Maybe it was a timing thing, but I strictly remember it being different than how you describe here The only way I even know a standalone option existed at the time that I moved to 1PW was because of reviews/comments on other sites that

The problem is even the best examples of Electron apps aren't great and use far more resources than a native counterpart would. VS Code is an example of Electron being "used well". I still find myself using other apps because

I am a 1PW subscription user and am happy with the product (however, seeing they are moving to Electron means that is very subject to change...) but Saying that "customers voted with their wallet" and chose subscriptions is disi

This is one of those controversial topics that really tends to go off the rails because of all the Monsanto history and polarizing beliefs concerning the substance. Also, notably, this is only being pulled from the market to "manage li

Thank you for your reply- I know what you mean by "nowhere"- and actually that's a good way to put it. I was having a hard time articulating that myself but I agree- often my mind is "nowhere" instead of "elsew

Removing menu iconography and making background tab separation less obvious seem odd choices from an accessibility point of view The use of more vertical space is also bothersome but a personal preference Overall, meh, at least on Windows.

One way to avoid the headaches is to taper slowly off of caffeine over a few days instead of dropping it completely. Just lower the "dose" you intake each day
