I personally couldn't really name one but it is many small incremental improvements adding up to something bigger. When a place I used to work at mandated a switch away from GitHub to GitLab I was a bit annoyed and saw it as penny pinc

I noticed the response from Playsaurus' attorney, as well as stating why CH2 is not infringing, lays out arguments suggesting the 838 patent should not be valid. I'm curious if someone familiar with the matter happens to be readin

In principle I like that I no longer have to look at all that clickbait shite when I go to look at Stories, that said the UX of the new friends screen is pretty wild. The app is also now almost unusably slow on my Nexus 5X - not THAT old

I don't see the same. It is a link to another archive.is page (although it doesn't really function like it should). You may have malware installed on your machine which is hijacking links.

Hah, I received this email and read about half of the first paragraph before concluding it was a sales pitch to purchase something and deleting it. Talk about burying the lede. That said, the servers are so inexpensive that it's pretty

Same! I went and got the updated version from GOG though, it does bigger screen resolutions and works well under WINE. Danger, though, three days disappeared in the blink of an eye!

Reminds me of a Gaelic word I found in a dictionary - somehow this is the second time I've got the chance to roll this out on HN: Teurmnasg (lit. thumb binding). a bandage on the toes and thumbs of a dead person, to prevent his ghost f

You might believe it's opportunistic and that's a separate argument with its own merits, but surely you can't believe nobody saw this coming. Because you have, to be fair, missed out the bit where she said "or a material

I have to agree with this. I bought mine in October a few days after it was released and it has only improved. I used to get random reboots, crashes, poor performance after a few days uptime - the various over-the-air updates solved all of
