Japan has a lot of stories like that. The urbanization is crazy, with literal half-empty towns, and people's homes left behind in the countryside. In case you are open to English narration, the creator behind the Abroad in Japan channe

I can recommend the Axis brand. Very user friendly while power user friendly as well, true local offerings. I personally bought mine used, it's an older model, and even then, it holds up really well.

I use it as a personal assistant, and as a replacement of internet search. It has been working great for things like refactoring small parts of code, generating boilerplate or working out what an arcane error message can mean. I find it use

I don't think I care about that, when exposing the story to millions of people, but I do care about the word usage. This is not detached from the reality at all. Media should report the horrible thing with the correct terminology, and

I think selling it wasn't mandatory, and the consequences of selling are predictable, so some of the blame rest with the original decision-makers as well. But I find hard to care after so many years, if I have to be honest, they just m

I share the same feelings, and I think that the way they phrased it is intentional. They are clearly capitalizing on the goodwill that is built around open source software over the years. In a "having the cake, and eating it too"

I was a huge fan of Winamp back in the day, but the way they handled the software completely soured me towards it. Winamp 3 was a clusterfuck, Winamp 5 was fine but felt like bloat, and then it was passed around like a hot potato, then aban

Title is "Winamp Legacy player source code is now open". The usage of the word "open" in conjunction "source code" alludes to the long established "open source code" phrase, which implies a set of lic

This is one of the things that Valve does very well. I even end up installing Steam on PCs that I run non-steam software on, because Proton is just that easy. I add the shortcut to Steam, choose my proton runtime (if that), click play, and

My voice is even more scarce, there is only one of them in the whole world! I think. Also, we can both own the same land. I do understand rivalry in economics, but that's not the issue here. The issue is the need to protect individuals

Yes, OP worded this a bit incorrectly. Open source, royalty-free standard would be better.

The context clearly explains what OP means. The meaning is that "This is not something that is achieved via simply hacking a normal device remotely. This is something that is achieved via doing something extra to the device first, and

Instead I think that they let people use it unauthorized, so that Windows is even more entrenched. Same with what Adobe did with Photoshop. These companies are lucky that their product gets home and office use as well, because they can let

Of course it is! What system has a heart? Systems are systems, not something that's capable to develop and cultivate and apply empathy. And even then, it could probably be gamed, like any other system. The need for checks and balances

Business, yes, that was the word I was looking for, thanks! So the ISP could just limit the residential packages, limit the business packages to actual businesses, and that's all.

I'd think that companies use commercial grade internet, and normal people use residential internet. If so, then it would be easy to imagine that the ISP blocks some features for the residential subscriptions.

I am very thankful for the Proton effort, both for the product itself, and for the fact that the upgrades and modifications make it back to the community. Kudos for Valve for doing it this way.

I need to try Waydroid. So far, my Android emulation experience was done via KVM + Android x86, but unfortunately many apps need arm things, and the last release is like 4 years old now, which is ancient in smartphone terms. Thanks for the

I do that as well. The full setup is Firefox with Strict protection, Multi-Account containers, Temporary Containers, Privacy Settings, Decentraleyes, and uBO. What's unfortunate is I start getting sites that don't like this treatm

I too like to have backups, I use OsmAnd in case Organic Maps goes wrong on me. But Google Maps also has its use for me, businesses around me are best represented on that, especially opening hours.

My default player is VLC, because it's a great generalist for video, audio and video inputs, but I appreciate mpv very much too. Especially useful on CPU limited devices, I get more performance out of it than any other player.

That really is like how Stallman is described to use the internet, just with AI. Regarding deletion, did you know about this service? https://joindeleteme.com/

Autodelete is old tech if you ask me. If you open the sites before the autodelete happens, then the tracking still happens. Temporary Containers is an addon that solves this elegantly.

I use Firefox with Temporary Containers. Each tab is a brand new context automatically. Tabs don't talk to each other, each of them is separate - although, if you want, you can open a new tab in the same context, and even make permanen

This isn't a good faith argument. When considering competition for X, the alternative should do at least most of the things that X does. It's not realistic to expect a drop-in alternative, but the user, I think, can't be expe
