But, the comment wasn't speaking in a generalization, just why they themselves don't use Firefox on Android while also indicating the exact device. It doesn't seem there was any argument being made, just that they seem a litt

IANAL and I know next to nothing about patents, but is that possible if the patents are assigned to the US Navy? I mean, I'm sure it's possible , but is the Navy known for profit-driven patent trolling?

I get it now. It may have (falsely) determined a violation from their behavior/use of Docs instead of the actual content of those documents. Nevermind my original comment then. That makes sense.

Even if it was bad code that falsely flagged the Docs, wouldn't that still imply that Google are parsing Docs in some manner if they're able to be flagged for ToS violations in general? I got the impression that Google reading you

If EPIC backtracks on something their CEO said, it wouldn’t be the first time. Tim Sweeney consistently makes a fool of himself and his statements turn out to be completely false pretty often. I wouldn’t take anything he says either serious

I've replaced Spotlight with Alfred [0]. Well, just the cmd+space shortcut. I've built a few "workflows", which are sort of like plug-ins/macros/shortcuts/etc. I can do things from emptying the trash to ru

There’s isn’t one. It’s just “Coming in October”. But, the GM build was recently pushed to beta, so probably pretty soon.

Brave browser is on iOS, but I don’t believe its adblocker extends to Safari. Not being able to set a default browser on iOS tends to make you use Safari more than another browser you have installed since tapping a URL in another app will o

To add, I recommend Adguard, 1Blocker X, Wipr, or Firefox Focus. Out of those, I believe only 1Blocker X has a cost, although AdGuard has a subscription for DNS privacy and security/custom filters. I personally use 1Blocker X.

You can get very close to the Windows GUI with pretty much any of the popular desktop environments: KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon, MATE, and even GNOME KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon, and MATE will get you close right off the bat.

But that would mean that one thing is unresponsive, not the entire app. The original comment even specified a frozen app.

> you should never do this unless the app is unresponsive In theory, yes, but not in practice. For example, the chromecast icon sometimes disappears in Hulu, which requires killing the app and reopening to get it back. The stock Mail a

I’m pretty sure that just hides the app as you can then swipe it back into view from the edge. The parent commenter seems to want to end the process.

But how many are actually using uBlock Origin? Nearly every person I come across is using AdBlock, AdBlock Plus, or some other adblocker, no matter how many times I recommend they switch to uBlock Origin. Most people are not aware of what C

The keyword in the previous person's comment is attention. It's attention that is incapable of multi-tasking. It really just bounces from one thing to the other and attention is sort of what drives consciousness and directs it whe

I think the title should be "Attention is not multi-threaded", which I believe is pretty well known in psychology and where the expensiveness of context switching stems from.

If you ever need Google results, just use !s for Startpage instead. It pulls Google results in a privacy respecting way, similar to DDG.

It was the iPhone 6s that came out in the fall of 2015 before the SE's release in spring of 2016. The battery life was better to the 6s and 6s Plus, depending on the task. But, the 6s Plus beat it in quite a few tasks (by a lot), such

Because Apple is notorious for using outdated libraries in macOS, like OpenGL. They included Python, but it was never a real focus to stay up to date since it was primarily to support legacy software. With that said, Apple will not be inclu

It did, but that was really just iChat packaged with Messages. They were actually two separate apps, but iChat was hidden within the Messages app. Messages just called iChat whenever you wanted to use Jabber or anything other than iMessage

Jabber was an option in macOS's messages app, which allowed you to connect to Facebook for example. It was an app to consolidate multiple messaging protocols. iChat (replaced with Messages) was sort of like Pidgin, Empathy, or Adium. H

They simply use the Chrome app URL scheme instead of the generic URL. Similar to how you go to an app’s website and it redirects you to the app itself. There’s an app called Opener [1] that uses this and you can do similar with the Shortcut
