Apple is running "the phone that respects your privacy" ads in prime time slots for 3 years now. A lot of people have chosen apple devices based on this promise. You know what you get when you use Google accounts.

A lot of ports, especially from Japan, only do menus and graphics in new/general-purpose engines and use a native library with their old codebases for logic. I can imagine that this was done here, Godot isn't really ready for a ga

Yeah, a few artists I follow were in the first batch and I'm already getting tired of them shilling for Patreon, Twitch subs, Ko-Fi and now Twitter subscriptions, all at once, all over my timeline. I realize these people need an income

> Will Windows 11 finally bring in the year of the Linux desktop? Is this sarcasm? After so many years, it's just hard for me to take seriously. Linux UX, not just in the DE department, is still trash for any non-technical user.

No, especially not for non-technical users. I support a popular software package and we run integrity checks on our own binaries - in recent months, the number of people that contact us and send us samples of our binaries infected with some

I don't think I'm ready to invest in a photo hosting solution again, be it with my time, my money, or my data, without it being open source/self-hostable or at least open core with a community behind it. Been duped too many t

Sitting in a meeting and saying a few words is like 10% of what Zoom can do - there's webinars, breakout rooms, Q&A, polls, moderation, and a lot of other smaller features which are incomplete or unavailable on the web client.

Judging by my previous interactions with their engineering and "Trust & Safety" team, yes, this is generally how it goes. Working for Discord and getting that badge must give you quite the ego boost. Conversations with them fe

On Windows, you can update these as often as you want to and the compositor will handle it fine - you can do a lot of cool animations/demos with it. Is this a macOS specific issue, or is the JS API these guys are providing not able to

Vaccines are a very good way to prevent serious disease and may make it possible to eradicate diseases. The best medical treatment is the one you never have to do.

The official app is genuinely well made and has nice features like selecting your favorite languages, saving entries in lists, tabs, and offline reading. I think it's one of the few things on my phone that I actually prefer the app ver

Naver runs a wide variety of services you'd expect, like payments, an online translator, a Yahoo Answers equivalent, messaging(LINE, which is ubiquitous not just in SK), a free blog offering, a search engine and a web browser. https:&

Interesting to note here is that SK has a healthy local "online services" industry. They have their own Google equivalents, like Naver, that have comparable(and sometimes better because optimized to SK) services and don't hav

Apple itself is currently obsoleting IP-based account theft heuristics with their iCloud VPN, so they might have stopped relying on it internally already :)

And still, in 2021, people die because some team at Apple can't write a memory-safe serializer for their own proprietary formats and image codecs. These exploits are in the hands of governments that have proven to not shy away from tor

Microsoft has 181,000 full-time employees. There's probably quite a few teams in that company that never have anything to do with each other.

You live in a country that has your name and your birthdate on file for ID, taxes, you presumably have health insurance that already knows you have the vaccine - the EU system as it is right now is designed to prevent those entities from co

"Things change as time goes on" is not an excuse to ignore valid standards. All big email providers know this and know that GETs should not affect their unsubscribe/confirmation links. It's part of their job.

There is a JavaScript API that abstracts this, so Google Meet/whatever asked can only read the "final" video stream of what you selected and not everything that's going on, which stays in your local browser.

Good one, calling their paying customers that bought into the ecosystem on the promise of privacy the "screeching minority" :) Was about to get an iPad Pro for work, will not get an iPad Pro ever.

If you can save a million or two in salaries for testers for all Docs products, for software that in most cases just works as well as in Chrome, why waste the money? Google is a company. Automated tests can help with this, but you also need

It's common to work around browser bugs like this. I wouldn't blame some possible hack a tired dev implemented on a busy Thursday on a grand scheme to strip you of your freedom - in the end it's just people working there. Esp

Conferences are essential in building a healthy community - and seeing who you actually "work for", especially as an open source developer. Sure, you can sit on Zoom for an hour or two and hold a talk, but you really can't be

You can sign 7 apps a week for your own device with the tethered non-dev Apple ID. The certificates expire a week after, so you need to resign those 7 apps every week or they will stop working. All of the "alternative" stores and
