I have a LG 5k monitor that stopped reliably working at the correct resolution with Catalina and then, I think, got worse with Big Sur. MacOS just refused to even let me choose the proper resolution. Forcing the DisplayPort version from 1.4

I find it amusing that reddit managed to make all of the lists! I personally still find it to be a useful source of information - I wonder if all of their recent drama with third-party apps has led to it earning a place on the negative li

The list is at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/pr... It includes file time stamps, system boot time, disk space, active keyboard, and user defaults. In each case, it says which specific A

I found this about iceweasel, which inclines me to believe that you remembered it correctly, and the grandparent was just mistaken about the name: > In August 2005,[11] the GNUzilla project adopted the GNU IceWeasel name for a rebranded

I believe I've read that some plants do better when planted in the concave portion of a wavy wall, because the bricks absorb warmth during the day and release it at night.

I think you can choose to enable or disable the SQLite driver when compiling php. Not sure why any host would disable it, but I could see it happening.

I don't disagree with you, but Mozilla takes in hundreds of millions of dollars a year and I don't think they spend all of that on Firefox - possibly not even the majority of it! I think that if they cut back on some of the other

I just donate to the Mozilla Foundation each month: https://donate.mozilla.org/en-US/ I feel like they could do better, but on the whole, I'm happy with what they provide to everyone for free.

I'd say it's certainly better than using Google Chrome.

by nfriedly 3y ago
If I remember right, DuckDuckGo's browser just uses the system webview. So that might be Chromium on Windows now that Edge is Chromium-based, but it'd be WebKit on macOS, and I'm not sure what it'd use on Linux.

Nope, I've never seen that. Iceraven is just Firefox for Android with more extensions enabled, about:config support, and a couple of other minor annoyances fixed.

I use Apple devices for work, but a combination of Windows, Linux, and Android for personal use, and I like that Firefox can sync between all of them. I will concede that if you're all-in on Apple, then Safari is certainly more conveni

Because I want Mozilla to be better, and I believe that donating helps that in some small way.

by nfriedly 3y ago
Yeah, I know - I ended up switching to Iceraven on my phone, though. I've heard good things about Mull too. But I didn't want to muddy the original post with all that.

by nfriedly 3y ago
Yeah, I mentioned this in another comment: it's really a shame that Mozilla spends the majority of that money (often poorly IMO), instead of putting it into an endowment fund or something similar that would leave them in a much better

by nfriedly 3y ago
Yeah, I'm actually using Iceraven right now, I just didn't want to muddy up the point of that comment any further than I already had. Firefox is an easy recommendation on desktop but mobile needs a bit more nuance. The point is th

It's true that Mozilla gets the vast majority of their income from Google and has, IMO absolutely squandered most of it. If Mozilla had put most of its income into an endowment fund instead of hiring tons of staff for a miriad of now-m

I hate to say it, but if you used Chrome to read this, then you're part of the problem. Awful stuff like this wouldn't stand a chance if Google didn't have such a near-monopoly position. For the sake of the open internet, ple

That's an awesome statistic! I've been working remotely from Ohio for most of the last 15 years. (I did one year on site in the Bay area in the middle - I'm glad I did it, but I was also happy to move back home.) For a little

I did some experimenting in the past with posting jobs on the HN who's hiring threads, and I found that I got about 10x more candidates when I included a salary with the post then without.

I've found https://www.levels.fyi/community to be a bit less abrasive than blind. Also, I believe you can sign up without being currently employed.

Funny story: I had to root my phone to get the Fidelity app to work. I installed lineageOS, which is passes the Google SafetyNet check out-of-the-box. So most things just work, including my local Credit Union's app. But lineageOS fails

Yeah, you might be right. But I'd be less inclined to use a CC if I wasn't getting cash back, so they'd face more competition from debit cards, cash, etc. And, if they refused to lower their fees, I think some (more) merchant

by nfriedly 3y ago
Oh, yeah, CC companies love it when people carry a balance and pay interest. But they're still making money off of someone like me who pays the full balance off each month, because when they give me 2% back, they're charging the m

I've lived in the USA my whole life, and I still think it's bizarre and ought to be illegal. It's basically a bribe. The worst part is, as long as it is legal, it just makes sense use it - because most things are the same pri

FWIW, Raspberry Pi availability is starting to recover, and they do have the ability to boot off of a USB drive (including SSDs) or a network server these days. That said even SD cards are probably fine if you're not doing a ton of wri
