>Ethics were not compelling enough for most people This matches my experience with people, including myself. I think it's about the feedback. The price pain or the energy pain is readily and immediately felt, whereas ethics violatio

Thanks for clarifying. I now see where the disapproval comes from.

OTP in Hungary is sunsetting their mobile web site in favor of the app. Website still accessible from PC. App seems to be a webview of the actual website.

Children are part of society, but adults need to have their space to do their adult things, some of which are actually hurting children. The "little cages" are actually supposed to aid a healthy mental development. But whatever ag

I definitely agree on the payment processor situation. In my opinion, businesses should also be free to refuse business for whatever reason, but, with the very important caveat that when they so large that to be considered a utility, they c

I love this collection on my phone. It's among the first software that I install to it. Alongside Simon's stuff, Gauguin is also a favorite. It's a sudoku type of game, but with different shapes and math instead of the basic

Another framing of this: Mastercard / Visa, and by extension whomever had them to do the crackdown, are now powerless to change DLSite. Googling for news, it seems like the story between DLSite and M/V is a push and pull. Many art

I completely agree. One could frame not banning these games as another slippery slope - which I'm sure they do. I think many of these slippery slopes are defined in hindsight. What all of these represent are simply struggles for power.

My guess is none, and that they are only used as a front for this. It really doesn't add up that a "grassroots org" from Australia that doesn't even have its own Wikipedia page can pressure Mastercard / Visa to pres

Some people actually care for the whole, or for the wholesomeness of a specific subset. This includes (on the face) most people who participate in public life. Which is a lot of people! >Don't like porn? Cool, don't buy it or a

Yes, it does. Because for somebody else, the three tiny meals might work, and intermittent fasting doesn't, and it would equally be good at the result.

I agree. A good title could be "You can outrun a bad diet. You just won't".

Maybe it shouldn't be surprising, but without the knowledge, the opposite of the thing can be explained the same as the thing itself. For example, "The energy you take in has to go somewhere", but I also poop everyday, so may

Hardly will an org with 45k Facebook likes pressure payment processort to pressure Valve to delist games. This is not adding up, at all.

I think this totally depends on the reception of the glassy ui Apple is doing. If it proves to uphold Apple's aspirational goods status, I'm sure the other brands will follow suit - even mainline Android.

You can not "see by yourself", as the equipment left behind is pretty small. But multiple lunar satellites photographed it since.

Same for normal people, for example with any paid internet service. They watch 2 hours of youtube every day, but to pay a pittance for YouTube Premium? Unimaginable, how dare they ask for anything for the service. In every thread where it c

Proxmox is written in perl, among other things like HTML and JS, on top of the other free software that they are using like QEMU. They also use Rust at places. This is their repo: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-manager.git;a

It looks like it doesn't. You might find alternative solutions like this user here*, but there is no guarantee any of it to work indefinitely on GrapheneOS. It's essentially a modified aftermarket firmware, and so, many security r

If consumers make their choices according to features like this - then the competition is real and the innovation must happen, otherwise the company is left behind. Exactly as you say: "they are just creating an update treadmill for a

I'm pretty sure it will come to Android as well. But I wouldn't be surprised if the transparency could be turned off for example.

This is a tired take, not unlike when people bash web developers to make slow and bloated web pages. Completely disregards how little say the individual has in the final product, and especially in the design of that product. What's act

OEMs were smaller than Microsoft, that was the problem I think. Valve seems to have success with Linux, which is maybe because of their niche, and size. Smaller players just don't get to be trendsetters.

Some do come with Linux preinstalled, but there is a lot of mess in this regard. "Windows tax" was one of such things, the Windows bundling went so hard[0] that it was more expensive to buy a computer without Windows than with[1].

I don't think it particularly suffers from not having "good defaults", because it doesn't get adopted by word of mouth. And people are not shopping around The Best OS that they find, and sadly, they evaluate that Linux j
