Yes, it is. Although seems only limited to Camera Roll folder. Perhaps this is why Samsung Camera built-in OneDrive integration uses different folder. Their mobile app is now stripping GPS on upload while files uploaded from desktop are una

Takeout fails if you have too many files. I had to takeout few albums at a time which is a PITA. OneDrive ceased to be a good backup alternative when they stripped GPS from all my photos 1-2 years ago. Unlike Google, there's no way to

Mozilla's WebRender. It's actually a better option by their own criteria because it's developed as a standalone reusable library.

Doesn't work on Chrome too. Needs .linenumbers { line-height: 12pt } but I think vertical line spacing within text node cannot be precisely controlled and is browser dependent.

I don't see how any toolkit design could be incompatible with this and not sure how color spaces play into that? Every X11 app is already composited and scaled by compositor and has top-level X window where it could set any property it

LLVM was at least written in the same language it is compiling. In this case they are replacing Python code with Rust which might exclude large part of Python community from being able to contribute.

Seems like it could be done by adding new features/flags to runas? And then maybe creating alias to sudo in PowerShell like it does for other things.

It has it's own config file and can be configured to do just about anything: https://www.sudo.ws/docs/man/1.8.15/sudoers.man/

Maybe until UAC is improved you can ship with a launcher process that is signed by publisher "Unknown"?

But why can't journaled filesystem do the same? Didn't Log Structured Filesystem work like that? Or SQLite over Fuse.

Before shutdown of Events API Facebook was a convenient hub for social events and parties. Shutting it down led to organizers no longer posting events to FB (I guess they were using some 3rd party platforms that cross-post to multiple sites

I'll give you a scenario where dynamic linkage is a clear win. I have 16GB of RAM and usually when working all of it is in use. If everything was compiled statically I would get massive swapping.

But OP didn't apply for green card? And now they can't anymore. Pretty strange move to go from L1 to O1 since L1 allows relatively straightforward upgrade to green card but O1 is a non-immigrant visa. Correction: they can. Looks l
