I assume English isn't your first language, so this is my attempt to correct. Please don't take this as a criticism, but rather as (hopefully) helpful feedback. Even with English as my native language, I'm sure there's s

I have no affiliation with the service, but I assume that: 1. They're small 2. They're new 3. Their team has more experience developing for Apple devices, thus it was quicker to release for those devices first before tackling Wind

It didn’t come across like that at all. I found it very educational actually as I imagine that’s where Gruber/Swartz got the syntax from.

It might be because I’ve already used DuckDuckGo on my browser and have turned off those things in the settings, but duck.com just redirects me to a clean DDG homepage.

You’re right. PeerTube is sort of what I was imagining. Thank you for mentioning it.

I think the problem here is that YouTube alone isn’t profitable. I think the only thing keeping it going is as an additional vector of ad placements for Google. YouTube is an extremely expensive service to run as well. No one really has a c

I don’t really see how the cost of bandwidth is the main factor. What would change by lowering said cost? The corporations of the oligopoly would also benefit and I feel they would just have larger margins allowing them to keep their domina

I’m rather young (on the border of Gen Y and Gen Z) so I guess I’m not old enough to have used either old Unix email or Usenet, so thank you for that tidbit.

____ Italics works fine for quote IMO ____ I propose using four underscores as a delimiter of a quote block, like asciidoctor, in addition to italics. I think it looks better than the markdown way of using ">" in front of a q

Nope. I’m not mistaken. What you’re talking about only applies to Xbox 360. For Xbox One, you lose access to your claimed Free Games with Gold when your subscription lapses until you resubscribe. The same is true for the free games to PlayS

I’ve always chosen Apple because there’s always been very little friction, thus very little frustration. However, the past year or two has been very frustrating. Taps on my iPhone 11 Pro sometimes don’t register because it’s in the middle o

I’m not a huge fan of it either and I agree with some of your points, but: 1. They are investing in first-party studios, but I’m not sure about second-party 2. Most of the launch games available to Founders are up to 50% off and included 2

MSFT are working on xCloud, which uses actual Xbox hardware in the data centers, so you have access to your entire digital Xbox library, including Game Pass. I’m sure they’re going to replace whatever the current hardware they’re testing it

I don’t disagree with your main point about losing games, but the fee is strictly for Stadia Pro, which permits 4K and 5.1 surround sound. Stadia Base is free and will launch in February, but only permits up to 1080p and stereo sound. You s

I can't speak for Vizio Smartcast, but both the mobile app and desktop website both support Chromecast. I watched the first few episodes of The Mandalorian on my Chromecast last night. I started casting from my Linux desktop no less.

Viewing Brave ads is opt-in, not opt-out. However, they do nag you a bit about it. There's an icon for Brave Rewards in the address bar with a "1" badge asking if you'd like to opt-in (Toggle in Settings to hide this ico

Searching requires that you know what you’re searching for. So, 1) I doubt most people use the settings search in general and 2) I doubt most people know there are settings related specifically to advertising to search for.

I’m late to this, but the real point that should be made is that Apple does not allow this functionality for any developer on the App Store, just themselves. Developers have to respect the free trial period even if the user cancels, but not

I'm going to be a little nitpicky here: This would be grammar checking, not spell checking. "Slow" is spelled correctly, it's just not the right word (adjective vs adverb). This also seems to still be in the experimentat

That was a poor choice of words on my part. Rather I meant, they themselves stated it was not feasible for them to keep up using EdgeHTML and they could not. The same may be true if they were to completely fork Chromium and maintain their o

by nvrspyx 7y ago
They’re less so forks than re-builds. They rely heavily on upstream and Google can certainly make it more difficult for them to maintain a “fork” that diverges too much from Chromium proper. Manifest V3 may be something they can easily keep

A guideline is a rule, just a non-specific one. Sometimes it's more a suggestion, sometimes it is iron-clad. For example, HIPAA Privacy Guidelines will still land you into serious legal trouble if broken. The fact that Apple are reject

I see. As someone who has practically zero knowledge of networking, I had misconstrued hostnames for something else, which I’m now too embarrassed to mention. Very educational response though. Thank you.

I’m not a network expert, but doesn’t TLS just cover your connection with a specific website? Since your IPS is often also your DNS, can’t they still see which specific websites you’re trying to connect to? Wouldn’t TLS just obfuscate what

Let me correct myself: Oath (formerly Yahoo) and Bing. However, that's still not right. It's now Verizon Media (formerly Yahoo) and Bing, not Oath. DDG was originally using Yahoo and Bing. Yahoo was thrown under the Oath umbrella

As I always do when this is suggested, I recommend using “!s” for Startpage instead of “!g” for Google. Similar to DDG, Startpage provides results in a privacy respecting way, but it uses Google instead of Bing (and Oath), which DDG uses. T

Just to add, there are a few websites that have horrible search engines, like Reddit, so I do the same, but use my primary search engine's URL scheme specifying which site to limit the search to. For example, if I wanted to use "r

by nvrspyx 7y ago
I recommend using `!s` instead, which will use Startpage instead of Google. But, since Startpage actually uses Google for search results in a private manner (similar to DDG using Bing and Oath/Yahoo), you'll get the same results a

As of January 2018, uBlock Origin has 10 million active users on Chrome. Where did you get 9,000?

All points I generally agree on, except that this isn't a discussion with Mozilla about improving Firefox. This is a discussion about Chrome that diverged into a discussion about Firefox in a very general manner. You may not be stiflin
