I think in that case the maintainer needs a different view of the bug tracker; for example, in GitHub that would be their projects view, or if you don't like that, label the issues as stale (without closing) and using a search that exc

Sometimes external contributors do not have the correct power to fix the issues they open; mainly that means the maintainer needs to take some decision (and possibly instruct the issue creator to make a PR). That is, the amount of effort t

On (Mozilla's) bugzilla, feature requests (in local jargon, "RFE", request for enhancement) were filed on the same bug tracker and were indexed as bugs, too, long before GitHub existed. Of course, that led to the same problem

I had a Buffalo router that did that; IIRC it came with their proprietary firmware and a copy of DD-WRT on a CD. (Might have been the other way around; this was about a decade ago.) I don't believe they would have been in much legal is

The older HTML equivalent would be to package it in a *.mhtml where the various parts are mime-encoded, like a multipart email would. It's only been around for decades. Creating it was saving a webpage in IE. Mozilla/Firefox neve

It's important to note that your "average" customer is self—selected; the "average" Apple customer probably doesn't play AAA games (because anybody who does would have needed to buy a Windows machine with highe

My understanding from the other threads about the Gmail outage is that Google will assume you're a spammer if you trigger no such mailbox too often (because they think you're generating random addresses and trying them), so they h

Android Studio (which I understand is a Jetbrains IDE) has always been laggy to be too. I suspect it's because I'm only using it for personal projects on older consumer machines (one Linux, one Windows) with ~16 gigs of RAM (which

I've been running apps via xpra instead of X forwarding, and audio works fine there. For silly reasons I'm doing it in Docker, but there's no reason to do that part if you don't need the ephemeral containers. https:&#x2

I believe Mozilla renamed master password to primary password at some point; it's the password used to encrypt the internal password storage.

That depends on the dynamic of the company; for some of the ones I've been in, making the PMs do support would have the desired effect, as the devs don't necessarily get to manage the schedule.

That only works if the pride would be induced in the one allocating developer time.

I find it interesting that the conversation in the screenshot reads like an Eliza transcript; the individual sentences (from the bot) don't actually look like they're connected. They're always responding to the previous mess

But Windows already gave up on that (WSL2 is VM-based, with a Microsoft-built Linux kernel); why would Apple go down that road?

I think the important part will not be what gets rejected, but what gets accepted. Nobody will ever remember the rejected error handling or genetics proposals; but people will definitely take notice if the eventually accepted one come attac

Perhaps the screenshots you're seeing have ClearType (i.e. sub-pixel anti-aliasing) turned on, and when it got to you (as a picture) the subpixels no longer match on your screen? For example, if one of the screens involved was vertical

Actually, you _can_ configure uBO to block third-party content by default (by turning on advanced user mode); however, it's not as good as uMatrix as there is no split of request type (script versus image, etc.) as well as no UI to man

Interesting; when I tried it a while back it seemed like you needed to know the language to manage your configurations. Was that impression incorrect? I may have tried it far enough back that I pretty much immediately encountered packages I

That sounds about as modular as systemd: it's in theory modular, but it very much throws away the existing boundaries and has yet to see its new modules be adopted by external folks (if that were even possible, depending on interface s

Genrules are okay for commands, but most things I want to do end up being tiny shell scripts, which isn't a great fit. I mean full on custom rules, exactly because of the inability for genrule to span more than one command (so we end u

Does the unbranded stable build have automatic updates yet? Last time I checked (which was quite a while ago) it didn't, which made using it day-to-day seem like a bad idea. I'd totally switch to it if I can just use it normally.

Didn't Intel try to do that with Itanium? … Yeah that's not really relevant anymore. Turns out a lot of people like their old cruft to keep working.

Wasn't FirefoxOS (the defunct phone one, now there's the KaiOS fork) sort of like that? I believe Gonk took some parts from Android, but haven't dug into it. Given that example, not sure how feasible the app ecosystem is.

BMP has the ability to hold compressed data too; for example they can hold JEPG and PNG compressed images. I don't think it has the ability to hold arbitrary data though. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-v
