   Some municipalities are also working to enforce a limit on the size of cars that can get into the city. Good luck diriving those American cars in Europe. But still, I wish they would ban them.

   And you risk ending up like Postman or Insomnia, once beautiful software which is now widely hated by developers.

   I feel like those 32 unique IP addresses may very well be Cloudflare or CloudFront ones.

   Fun fact: that's not true for all Windows localizations. For example, it's called "Programmi" (one word) in Italian. Renaming system folders depending on the user's language also seems like a smart way to force deve

    Also, I had never heard the word "smishing" before. I don't get what's different from "normal" phishing.

    YouTube is a monopoly, and with huge barriers to entry. Nobody else has the money, the infrastructure and the content to build a YouTube alternative.

    We're both right. Windows XP had two different legacy themes: "Windows Standard" which looked like Windows 2000 and "Windows Classic" which looked like Windows 9x.

    On the surface, Explorer looks more modern on Windows 11. But when you use it, you can "feel" it's still based on old Win32 APIs with just a layer of paint on top.

    11 is a step in the right direction for a modern consistent look of Windows. But there's still a long way to go; they still haven't managed to put all the system settings in a single app. And I wonder if they'll ever be able

    Liquid Glass is such a horrible regression. I'm holding onto my Sequoia for the time being (and maybe I'll then switch to Linux). I think the best version of macOS was High Sierra. After that, everything started becoming bloated a

    I think Windows XP did a pretty good job for the home market, making Windows appear friendly and easy to use to a wide audience (and without too many style inconstistencies). Moreover, Windows XP let you switch the interface back to the cla

    I agree. GNOME 2 was simple and beautiful. Then it became completely unusable. It looks like it's been designed by someone who never has to use a computer.

    I also think we should stop calling it "sideloading". We need a better word. Sideloading has a negative vibe, as if it's a dangerous thing to install apps from sources other than the Play Store.

    Installing apps from sources that are not the Play Store requires a bit of technical knowledge anyway. My grandma is not going to download a random APK and give all the necessary permissions to install it and run it.
