Sure, I can do that again. My previous tedious interaction with your support department ended in this conclusion: >Sometimes, when the ProtonMail app is updated to a new version and that update is bigger and more incremental, that could

About this point: "- can't really configure your chosen email client to it..." Do you have any experience with using the IMAP Bridge? It is a daemon you run locally that translates between Protonmail's internal protocol

I can't comment on the iOS client, but the Android client is what's primarily holding me back from switching to Protonmail as my default. The problem is that it keeps logging me out, for one reason or another, and to log back in I

I disagree. The article quotes and links to three different articles (the first of which is the one you have pointed out) and ties them together. I agree that it is not the most substantial post, but I wouldn't call it blogspam.

The author seems to be from Dallas, Texas, but the quote in the title is from another post: https://eand.co/what-do-you-call-a-world-that-cant-learn-fro...

No, that quote is not out of context at all. The expectation that Apple would in some way ruin the Mac Mini in the next update is the topic of several of the first paragraphs in the article. The gist is indeed "It hasn't gotten wo

You misread. Java being old is counted as a positive here; Java is old, so it has plenty of tooling, is the message. Despite this, they are not using Java :)

I agree, which I why I specifically said "similar" rather than "as good" or "better". I'm not impressed by competing touchpads.

Yes, please do! I've spent some time researching this as well, and to me it seems like the author has missed one thing; the Mac touchpad hardware is so much better than other touchpad hardware. (As I understand it, the competition is

I was excited about this when it was all the rage. It speaks to me as a programmer. Some years later, I stumbled upon this excellent article by an artist considering the problem from the art perspective: http://www.dinofarmgames.

A small comment for clarification; my remark about making the game less mechanical is for the part of the game that automates the simple, purely deterministic, constaints. So there are two things: Automation of simple deterministic things,

I'm a paying would-be user of ProtonMail. "Would-be" because it is simply not reliable enough. It is frustrating that they are diversifying (contacts, vpn) when I find the core product too unreliable to depend on. I mainly ha

Hm, I think we strongly disagree here. I am bilingual myself, and I strongly prefer each context to be self-consistent. When reading English text I find Norwegian date formatting confusing, and vice versa. I routinely have open tabs in diff

It is important that a Norwegian visitor with a browser configured to prefer en-US [1] would see the entire web page in the same locale. Why should _parts_ of the web page localize to a different locale than other parts? The standard Norweg

That's an awful shame. I can't really see myself using this when authoring websites as long as it has that behaviour. If I am authoring a Norwegian web site, the date format must be Norwegian, regardless of the user's preferr

Those are two orthogonal concerns. A (theoretical) browser in full screen mode might or might not display UI elements/browser chrome. A windowed browser might or might not display browser chrome. A chromeless windowed browser would loo

A small nomenclature clarification seems to be in order: "Headless" means without output. It is often used to describe servers without any attached monitors (the monitor would be the head that it is missing), but can similarly be
