   The article only briefly mentions the real problem: outside of browsers, proper support for .webp files is very, very low. That's why JPEG is still king and probably still be for a long time.

   I think that the best thing about Uber/Lyft is that they've been a wake up call for the taxi industry. I don't think I'd be able to book taxis (and pay in advance) using an app in my country, if Uber/Lyft didn'

   Speaking of small costs, some time ago I paid 2 euros with my credit card in order to enter the central train station toilets in Milan, Italy. The toilets were awfully dirty, there was no toilet paper and no soap. I took some pictures just

   I used to love em dashes. But now I can't use them anymore — people will think it's written by AI.

   I agree with you, but it's the same reason why Microsoft asks you to type a numeric code generated by their Outlook app in order to login. It's to prevent people from dismissing the alert by clicking "OK" without even re

   Yeah, I agree. He should release a high-quality capture of the VHS, without edits whatsoever. VHS quality also decays with time, so he better hurry up.

   Call me a dreamer, but he should just make a good capture of the VHS and upload it to the Internet Archive.

   I'm afraid they won't reach the necessary signatures; currently it sits at 44% of the required signatures. There's not much time left, the collection is ending in about 60 days.

    Too bad I don't think they'll reach the necessary signatures. They're currently at 44% of the required signatures, and the collection in ending in July. I don't know how to spread the word about it...

    The whole "let's put LLMs everywhere" thing is sketchy at best.

    That's very interesting. I wonder why Spain is different than the rest of Europe, given it's connected by land. It makes more sense for islands such as Ireland to retain their old gauge.

    What a strange naming choice though...

    I've checked the Italian version of the article and I've noticed two interesting things: - the page was originally published in 2017 by user Swmmng without any content, just a random photo of blue sapphire [1]; - the second revisi

    I'm a bit fed up with having to use a million plugins to make the web usable.

    I confirm, we have it in Italian universities (it's called "quarto d'ora accademico" in Italian).

    Why GitHub? If they truly cared about open-source they would've chosen something else, such as a self-hosted Forgejo [1], or its most common public instance Codeberg [2]. [1] https://forgejo.org/ [2] https:/&#x2F

    Nowadays, between non-native apps (e.g. Electron based ones), webapps and apps that force their own color scheme, it's practically impossible to have a unified theme across all apps.

    I did ignore it and I got my developer account banned. They didn't even refund my 15 $.

    Are you sure the refund is automatic if you just uninstall? That seems strange.

    I used to love Office 2003, and I still do. But... just use LibreOffice at this point. It has an interface that reminds a lot of classic Office, but at least it's more updated and probably safer. It also supports newer file formats.

    I think the user meant that it's "free to keep", it's not a recurring subscription like modern Office versions.

    I live in Italy and I've never seen a normal "office" paper sheet which is not A4.

    DEL = DELta I think this explains why they chose to put it there, instead of one of the other free spaces. It's just too smart not to do it.

    It's just a SEO "good practice", but it's perfectly fine to have more than one <h1> tag.

    I've tried watching some Italian TV channels, and some content was not available for streaming. It's a common practice here. It also applies to satellite-transmitted channels, they usually don't have the license to show some

    It's even better in Italy. There's a law called Modem Libero (Free Modem) [1], thanks to that every ISP must give you all the connection parameters (for free) so you can install your own modem. P.S. thanks, now I know why Iliad (F
