Recommending containers as a replacement for profiles is a bit like recommending a wheel as a replacement for a car. Containers do one thing very well and are very useful, but they don't let you have different bookmarks, add-ons, theme

Sad about the injured and especially the dead person. I don't think most people realise how violent turbulence can be or how badly things can go. In my last flight, someone on my row removed the seatbelt as soon the light went out and

Regarding this title: The user didn't delete answers, they updated them to say something unrelated to the question. I understand the protest, but there's a difference between deleting and what's essentially defacing.

It's annoying, but open source projects tend to prefer more open platforms. I assume that many Briar users use a deGoogled custom ROM instead of the stock Android ROM and a privacy focused app store like F-Droid.

One is behind on feature support, like IE. The other is so dominant that gives a company a lot of power, like IE. Both Safari and Chrome are today's IE in different ways.

What's the difference between SpaceX and all the other big US space companies? They all receive government contracts/investment/subsidies (or whatever you want to call it). Why is this specific company being singled out?

by luuurker 3y ago
I'm not sure if SpaceX's approach to development is a problem. We don't have to like it, but they develop faster and cheaper than the competition... and as proven by Falcon 9, Dragon, etc, it works. The competitors designing
