I have a hard time calling it a technological advancement, that's what it was when we had bloggers and forums some 20 years ago. Until we all collectively agree that kids should not have smartphones and iPads until they're maybe 1

It really depends on the people you work for, it's not like Europe is some kind of paradise in this matter. I was working as a contractor for a company in Germany, after a few years working together, they cut me off from one day to the

I wonder how many websites show a cookie banner and don't change a thing whether you click Accept or anything else.

In my experience, having an email address ending with any custom domain other than "gmail.com" raises questions and clarifications are necessary quite often.

Features like auto-playing next song that Spotify/YouTube/whoever "thinks" I "might" like after a playlist finished playing is driving me mad. (Yes, I know it can be turned off, but it's on by default. Whi

It scares me how much this reminds me of myself. I don't know how I was able to keep my job (and keep the roof over my family's heads) with my habit of not being able to concentrate on work at all because the minute I need to thin

> You may agree today, but that can change. The company's management or ownership can change. I've lost over 7000 EUR of income from a German company over vague contract clauses which I was too lazy to sort out when signing it,

I wouldn't go as far as calling it an "IE", because those of us who lived through that know it was a completely different experience. But yes, Safari is slow in implementing new features a bit and it does get annoying from ti

The short answer: Tracking and advertising. Longer answer: All of the above + bloated frameworks (frontend and backend) + unoptimized/excessive static assets. I guess we all know this, so I apologize if you meant it more as a rhetorica

I apologize, last time I tried there wasn't yet this simple popup dialog Brave shows now, and I had issues making Netflix work in Brave some ~1.5 years ago.

Both Vivaldi and Brave have their advantages, but I had switched away from them. Vivaldi was too slow at times and some keyboard shortcuts in some apps (Google Docs, etc.) didn't work. Brave doesn't support Netflix and some other

What exactly is broken in Firefox on YouTube or Gmail? I'm not a heavy Firefox user, but when I try it every once in a while, I've never noticed anything broken on any of the Google's sites, even Maps and Docs worked just fin

I understand the frustration from having your dreamed-up name taken by domain squatters, however, as we've seen many times, you can succeed with any domain name. Google succeeded despite not having the search.com domain, Instagram didn

Not sure why are you downvoted. It's hard to find a similarly popular band sharing more stuff online for free these days than Metallica. Besides, the entire Napster thing was about a song "I Disappear" being available through

The only thing that helps me concentrate on work (coding) is exercising. When I come back from bike/run/whatever, catch my breath and take a shower, only after that my mind is calm enough so that I can concentrate well for ~2 hour

I worked in Visual Studio full-time for many years, now I'm coding in PhpStorm (IntelliJ IDEA) since July 2019, and while overall it's really powerful, I still kind of miss VS. One notable problem I have with PhpStorm is that ofte

For me, as a developer, it boils down to the Web Dev Tools (Elements, Console, Network panels), which keep getting better and better. For my family, Chrome is on desktop and their phones, everything synchronized. Chrome autoupdates without

I'm not going to use Firefox for development and I'm not going to install Firefox for my family members, simply because Chrome is better for both scenarios. Firefox is pretty good, but Chrome is just better. Instead, I send Mozill

This is very similar to what I'd do for my small projects, I really love the small size and the brevity of it. On the contrary, it's not what I'd do at work for one of our bigger web apps. No need to criticize, it does what i
