True but Firefox is mainly written by people who want to earn a living. Much FOSS is actually written by people who are being paid to do it, How do you fund the producers of Firefox and the infrastructure needed to get it built and released

by pasc1878 2y ago
Fine. Then pay for the tools you use rather than force them to get money from another source. The toolmakers work to earn a living.

No one is suggesting changing it. This whole thread is about an alternative syntax for python. I was pointing out that there is yet another alternative. I prefer lisp syntax over indentation aware (e.g. python) over block syntax and at the

For another way of removing indentation needed for structure. Make python a lisp - indentation is just the number of brackets. Hy - http://hylang.org

Which then is the same with Apple's ._ files Unix file systems are not sufficient, you need a layer on top.

Which is annoying as I liked the NeXT file Manager. Agreed on Dual Pane file managers though. I used them on Windows from Windows 3 onwards and various macOS ones except the writers of the macOS ones had nice early versions then decided to

No macOS does not. The issue is the file system. Apple file systems allow a file to have extended attributes or resource forks. Thus a file is not a simple stream of bytes. When you copy a file to a file system (e.g. FAT) that does not unde

The issue is where does this information go. If in a central place what happens if the original directory is moved - how is the metadata updated. - Unix is another file somewhere, Windows can be in the registry. With Apple it is kept with t

Why are you surprised? I have been writing client server apps since the late 80s. Originally a central DB and a PC front end. But the server could be doing business processing e.g. feeds and processing of stock prices. Client Server predate

I wonder why enterprises use Windows and Java rather than convert to the latest new language. The enterprise want to keep running. IT is a cost so not needing to upgrade is a massive win.

Isn't that rather slow - or do you mean for each run of unit-tests.

Safari feels integrated, Orion is a collection of apps with the same icon, menus and functionality but with different configuration. Each profile produces a separate Orion.app so you end up with multiple Orion's in your dock - Safari i

So why was the expected age of death lower in the pre-industrial age than it is now if the materials used then are safer than modern ones?

So does Apple make it easy to export even now, just one click on the menu in the System Settings. I assume having an app would make it easier. So you have two password managers one for Firefox and the other for apps. What happens if you hav

by pasc1878 2y ago
Here there is no problem. You have a completely free choice to use 1password, BitWarden, KeePass etc ..... Apple is not stopping you. Forcing all browsers on iOS to use Safari is a different matter.
382.
by pasc1878 2y ago
This is my main gripe as well. My current workaround is to use Orion as my browser. Its profiles are clunkier than safari and don't exist on iOS (but I don't care about that)
383.
by pasc1878 2y ago
Yes Mozilla's does - to Firefox. There are cases I need to use Safari or a Chrome based browser. This is the main reason I got 1password in the first place. and where do you store your passwords for apps?

by pasc1878 2y ago
Bring back OSX Server to allow more things than base macOS.

by pasc1878 2y ago
1password 8 on iOS is fine and I note no issues with it, it just works. On macOS 1pw 7 worked with no issues, 1pw 8 doesn't However the big issue is that 1pw8 requires you to use their cloud - so if someone takes over the company and c

No that is not the definition of London. London here is Greater London - all but a tiny bit of which is inside the M25 (see dg's blog for the exception). There is much inside the M25 that is not in Greater London.
