I think the better explanation is the quest for a return on spending. In a low interest rate environment, the bar to generating a return is low because the alternative is close to a 0% return. So any projects that anticipate a 1% or greater

I don't think that is a good comparison. Fossil fuel is a carbon sink. Extracting methane from fossil fuels in the ground releases the carbon from the sink and into the atmosphere. If synthesizing methane from hydrogen grabs carbon tha

For me, the usability of a password manager depends on convenient, secure password sharing that only seems possible with a hosted option of some sort. Granted, one or more of those options might be self-hostable, but that brings other compl

I think there are two options in Chrome's password manager. One is to decrypt with the computer's password. The other is to use your Google account authentication for decryption.

Firefox market share is 7.1% on desktop - not great, but more than double the aggregate, which should tell you something. Competing with Chrome on Android or Safari on iOS is virtually impossible. The ability to sync bookmarks, passwords, c

Are you saying that complex software getting bug fixes is an indication of something? I don't see how it's a bad thing that btrfs has been squashing bugs and corner cases.

Firefox beat IE because Microsoft development of the browser stagnated and Windows + IE were struck with a string of massive security vulnerabilities. Firefox was a more featureful, secure, compliant browser out of the box. Non-technical pe

In all fairness, I got my entire non-technical family onto xmpp/jabber with Snikket (which is a highly opinionated packaging of existing xmpp server and clients with minor tweaks). They scan a QR code to download the app and join the s
