Indeed, it’s quite concerning how little this is discussed or talked about in a lens that’s interesting to the average person.

Certainly lots of features I'd enjoy but I couldn't find the source and builds logs so I was a bit dubious - after doing some research it appears to be closed-source and proprietary software. While I'm not saying it's ba

But that’s no different to running it in Firefox or whatever, it’s not a desktop app - it’s just JavaScript wrapper that is essentially doing the same thing but giving you less control and generally higher memory usage.

Hmm, got a lot of very poor recommendations when trying various realistic combinations, the recommendation engine seems to promote pop music very heavily and doesn’t seem to consider lesser played tracks fairly in its analysis. Both Apple M

I personally think that’s helping the problem of the infestation of poor performing JavaScript sites making their way onto the desktop, often they’re so bad it’s more sensible to open those sites in a Firefox / Safari window.

Not really related to clocks (other than the fact I was watching one while waiting for that to load) but that link seemed very slow to load, I haven’t seen a link to azurewebsites before but I’m assuming that’s some sort of static file host

I would argue that it’s not an industry standard unless it’s back by some sort of ISO like RFC. I’d also argue that it’s not an accepted term as _many_ people don’t agree with its misleading name, for example I personally see it as marketin

On my work desktop (iMac 5k) I use a Das ultimate mechanical keyboard, I’ve been a big fan of Das keyboards with Blue or Brown switches for many years, I purchased a MacBook 12” Retina when they came out and it certainly took some adjusting

Indeed, sorry if I didn’t make it clear - I was commenting on the previous person who talked about Debian - not the OP.

I’m sorry I don’t see any comparison at all, iOS is a /lot/ less fragmented and iOS devices present on networks have a far high percentage of up to date OS versions installed. Just two months ago I sampled data of a 100~ staff use

When you’re managing a decent sized wireless network all the out of date Android devices are a right pain in the ass, so often I find devices that aren’t just out of date (usually Samsung’s) but also devices trying to connect to dodgy BitTo

Debian security are very good at their job indeed, however so many of the packages are so old they’re not usable, furthermore Debian doesn’t enable SELinux by default and has a number of policies missing which significantly weakens the aver

It seems to be /very/ slow to load, google and ddg both seem to load in < 1s where startpage averages around 3-5 seconds, I wonder if it provides any advantages over say using a grease monkey userscript to strip the tracking?

You’re not alone - I do that every time I copy or share a URL too, it’s a good habit to get people into and sites that fail to provide working HTTPS don’t really have an excuse these days.

I would tend to agree with those that say the Apache foundation is where projects go to die, to me the Apache foundation feels like a library of legacy often heavy code. OpenOffice (LibreOffice by comparison is doing ‘well’), Wave, Zookeepe

I couldn’t agree more, I absolutely /hate/ when I have to use their products, especially Jira or bitbucket. They’re so awfully clunky and slow, they seem to lack any understanding of workflow or UX design and they’re so JavaScript

I don’t want to start a flame war of any kind here but I did want to state that I very much dislike googles designs, I find their UIs very hard to navigate and generally ‘displeasing’ to the eye.

I've switched from Google maps to Apple maps as of about 6 months ago, I find that in Melbourne (Australia) recent street changes seem to be updated more frequently on Apple maps, I also find the app to use less battery. I'm sure
