This is just my opinion, but things change. Change is not necessarily bad. If smaller newspapers cannot make it, it means they don't offer a good enough service to justify their existence. If they were good and provided value, people w

I have no idea what you're talking about. I think you should at least know the basics of the topic you're discussing before leaving nonsensical comments. Everything you're saying is completely wrong.

I think you're confused about what GDPR requires from companies. The whole thing is simply about not collecting data you're not supposed to need in order to provide the service, and whatever you do it must be opt-in. The only reas

Sure, blame the EU for trying to stop companies from keeping your contacts, pictures, location history or whatever just because you signed up to write a review or comment an article. If companies can't manage to offer their service wit

It looks like the only reason to use AMP is to bypass ad blockers and sell more advertising, and this is also the only reason why Google developed it. Personally, I think it's stupid from content creators, because if I visit the websit

I think we should rephrase, it's not "because of GDPR", it's "because of their incompetence". I have made a few sites GDPR-compliant, and honestly unless your business practices are based on exploiting people&#

Markdown is cool because it's minimalistic. Markdeep might be a good idea, but if you start adding more and more feature you reimplement HTML, at that point why not simply use HTML? Isn't HTML plain text, too?

I still have to steal movies from time to time--when after checking all the official, legal ways there is still no way to download it. However, with Netflix and other studios finally getting their head out of their ass there is a lot less g

I definitely agree with not changing recognizable brands, but I wonder how much the fact that those companies have their logo printed on products, lots of stationary, buildings, etc. influenced their decision. Compared to let's say IBM

I've tried Pop OS, but it seems little more than a GNOME theme to me. I also don't understand why they didn't pick (or better yet fork) elementary OS, which is the only good-looking Linux distro that has a different enough vi

No, it's just that they want to control what goes into their phones. For instance, I had my Moto G5 screen replaced at a non-offical repair shop here in Poland. I told them to use the cheapest thing they could find. The screen sucks. I

Without taking away any of the merit of succeeding in crowdfunding anything: people go to YouTube because there are awesome content creators that produce content you want to watch. Content creators make money via Patron, but mostly via ads.

That's really a very high price compared to the competition. $7 for 1000 views!?

Turning off Google in Europe even for 1 day would result in complete chaos. A week would definitely put a noticeable dent in the economy.

I suspect that most services start very lean, and if they become popular people request more and more stuff and it gets added, making the thing more complicated. Webpack is too complicated though, so if this can stay simple, why not.

Very cool. First time I read a recipe on GitHub, too, and it's incredibily efficient without 2 pages of introduction.

Yes, definitely. Depending on the distribution, touchpads on Linux are between unusable and bad. False touches are expecially annoying while you're typing a paper and you palm touches the border of the touchpad. I often disable the tou

Very true. I did buy the late-2016 MBP, that I swore that was the last time I'd buy anything from Apple (because of the trouble and hypocrisy).

So, hold on--let me try to understand. You like the keyboard, even if 5-6 keys are stuck, and the space and shift only work if you hit them in a certain spot. On top of that, you're looking to give Apple even more trust any money, when

I always make automatic, incremental hourly backups. That doesn't mean it's positive for a computer to take your data with it in case of failure when it's completely avoidable (ex., don't have the SSD soldered to the log
