Maybe it's transliterated for a more Latin-like crowd where vowels have exactly one pronunciation, like in languages like Spanish, where reading the second columns as they'd naturally think to, would likely be 95% OK

As a bonus, you help prevent the spread of that deadly virus that's ailing us all! (Please everyone, stay masked, no country is really safe yet)

This was actually the reason I didn't buy a Shield last month. Saw the news and noped right out. I've been having some sort of success with Emby and web browsers instead, it's not the prettiest UX but it works and I see no ad

Replying here to sibling posts' concerns as well. All of them in this case did, with no families or major expenses to support, and not a weird scam or pyramid scheme, just standard contract development work where in two or three contra

I thought so as well, but then I started offering jobs to people I knew hated their jobs and also worked unpaid overtime constantly, with the smallest salaries. But for some reason, when offered a 6x salary freelancing, for less hours, with

I've had that happen on Slack mobile so much I just don't trust it anymore. I always tell people (even if it seems counterintuitive) to email me when things are urgent because very rarely (or not, since I can't tell), it&#x27

I just want to chime in and say I absolutely love the README. It's awesome when open source projects are so detailed that I end up learning so much just from their descriptions.

It's Gaben being proved right over and over and over again. Piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem.

Because you're wasting the company's time and money, making them spend resources on interviewing someone with no intention of actually joining the company. All in order to underhandedly advertise to them without their knowledge or

Here's a survey[0] that says the following: > In addition to users in Africa and Southeast Asia, one more world region where many cryptocurrency users are located is Latin America. Peru leads adoption with 16 percent of respondents,

The crypto movement in South America is growing explicitly because people are increasingly not trusting their banks and government to protect their fiat. I've never heard of Zelle and not everyone has access to a clandestine US account

It's basically the biggest reason I stick with Opera on Android. It handles text wrapping on zoom so well, that I can use old desktop Reddit on a really tight phone without issue.

I know what you mean. These headlines read less like titles and more like lyrics in a song ("He was a skater boy. She said see you later boy."). It feels a bit condescending, as if it was aiming at children. I'd much prefer a

Wow, great timing. I was days away from buying a Shield, but I get irrationally mad when forced to see ads. I won't now, even if there's hacky workarounds.

If that's true, then I'll be forced to move many people's PCs to another OS after decades of Windows. I hope they reverse that decision, it's so hostile.

The post above yours said 'sale' though, not consumption. Do you think it should be permitted to sell heroin freely?

I can't believe how there's no buttons on devices anymore. This is a reminder on how much I miss them! I remember when I'd clip a really small iPod to my chest between layers of clothes and just move through songs by pressing

Such a headline almost reads like a joke. "Is blood the key to a healthy brain?" would also read as funny. Are neurons? Lungs? DNA? I understand the article is insightful but the tragedy of click bait headlines strikes again.

How do you mean? Outside most major cities, ISPs tend to monopolize the playing field and there is great demand for cheaper or more personalized service. Having good customer relations would be a major differentiator, and it's not that

At some point you seriously need to say enough. This is so ridiculous as to not be remotely worth it.

Damn, I'd been meaning to build exactly this for ages but never got around to it. It's always felt like a key missing piece, particularly after working with tools like Android's preview tab. Major kudos to the team!

This is death by a thousand cuts. Yet another small annoyance that can be easily dismissed or explained away as is happening in the comments, and we never realize the precise point where we have been stripped of any possible privacy or anon

A friend and I always develop small scripts to generate stuff that's really boilerplatey in Android, basically writing text to files with node. I've also made my own autoclicker for grindy Android games that otherwise detect in-OS

Yeah I literally meant that I try it every three months or so, and it really does improve continually. As they say, I'm watching its career with great interest, at least until the time I'm using it and I don't find a frustrat

I love Jellyfin and the fact it exists is amazing, but I try it every three months or so and it feels like while there's amazing progress, it's still on the last 20% of work left before it's entirely painless. The web player

They are. There's also a very high political cost of going against China, even illegal Chinese boats, in a country such as Argentina with a high dependence on Chinese relationships, poor sovereignty enforcement, poor military might, ma

Absolutely, you need to care for that future dev who's an idiot when writing code today because that's going to be you in a week or two when you've forgotten all about it.

I seriously can't believe that Nanite and Lumen can possibly work as good as they seem to look. There has got to be a catch, that demo video is way too cool. I also seriously love how they're focusing on fixing the VCS problems, i
