Eats lot of RAM, has limited number of extensions, doesn't support royalty-free VP9 video codec. Feature-wise better than Edge, worse than FF ( https://caniuse.com/ ).

Yes. Why haven't they been fined for anti-competetive practices already? How can they still force developers to use their only webkit implementation? Is it because people think there are more browsers on iOS, forgetting that actual lay

Also every "browser" on iOS has to be based on their webkit. So there is only a single browser implementation. And worse even, they purposely prevent royalty-free (WP9, AV1) codec support (they receive money from HEVC licensing fe

Thanks, that means you support these practices and you like that only way to prevent your mail to go to the spam folder is to actually pay for their services and send email only through them. Soon we will have to confirm our identity and pa

I think the major problem here is IP reputation. Especially if you are hosting on public VPS or worse your home network. The root of the problem is spam abuse. Spammers have no problem to spin up random VPS to send spam. They can set rDNS,

English unite. Finally, after failed attempts with Esperanto and others, lots of educated people understand this single common language. Life is much easier. I am Czech and there are so little info in Czech on any technical subject so I rat

It's funny how Java people always marketed Java as "write once, run everywhere" and they often bundle compatible platform-dependent JRE with platform-specific plugins. ^_^

yes, and often lots of prebuilt build tools no one really knows how to build from source. It's a real mess open source.

I guess that's why they use "gn" in newer projects like Fuchsia or Chrome?

And someone always finds a way to get a device which can make photos silently. For example by importing it, modding it, using older devices, etc. It is not solving anything. It is simply a stupid law against users.

I switched to KDE on Arch Linux two years ago and I am happy since. Even KDE Connect works there (android notification sync).

If you want the latest software, install Arch Linux not Ubuntu/Debian.

What prevents someone to replicate the Flash experience with modern web tech like JS, HTML5, CSS or Canvas/WebGL? I mean something with similar editor functionality, producing result drawable in modern web browsers. EDIT: There actuall

That is a good reminder of the closeness of this ecosystem. Is it really your device when you can't install your app on it? Ditch it! Hopefully protesters have enough people with Androids... there are less and less reasons to use iPhon

Really? I have never seen a Go program to misbehave while not printing some meaningful output. It is possible but almost no one ignores the error parameter. Yet I have seen many, many Java and Python software which quit after the first Unha

Do you realize how big the kernel source is? No one wants to rewrite it to C++. Also C++ compiles slower and can be more difficult to read, depending on code style and features used. C++ is also far more fragile regarding compiler compatibi

I've read reports of worse vision in dark after Lasik. And what if my short sighness worsens over time (as it did so far). I don't think Lasik is the ultimate solution which works perfectly forever.

It's not ISP's business to spy on and modify any requests. Their business is to provide connectivity. Period. People can use antivirus and specialized blocking on different level if they need to block something.

I have been using Arch Linux for 5+ years exclusively and I don't plan to change that. There have been a few issues over time, but overall it meets all my needs. Even video editing is fine with Kdenlive, Cinelerra GG or OpenShot. Gamin

I also use NextCloud but we need something like that written in a faster tech like Golang. For periodic filesystem backup snapshots I use Restic.

Good point, I think it should be mentioned because those DBs are special in that they are optimized for analyzing data changes over time. They store timestamps effectively and often allow filtering and aggregation on tags and in time interv

The idea of markdown is great because it it essentially a text. Even if the client would not support it, humans would be able to read it just fine. Much better and more secure than rich HTML. For example my email client won't display i

I think 'ln' as a tool which creates a symlink. And symlink is a new object, a new kind-of file. So it must be the last argument. The source is just an attribute of that symlink "file" holding the path it points to. If I

Firefox addons are awesome! Highly-configurable about:config is awesome! Developer tools are bit behing Chrome, true... But Firefox is what saves us from Google monopoly and I am really glad it exists. Thanks to all FF devs! ️
