   I'm not saying that all conversations are bad. I'm just talking about the one hour one-sided conversations described in the article.

   >how exactly does this kind of individual conversation actually help me? It doesn't. It just helps the speaker.

   Performance started going downhill with Windows XP, and then even more with Windows Vista. Modern Windows doesn't feel snappy anymore, even thought we have the most powerful computers we've ever had. Sometimes I use some old Win32

   No it's not a mistake. But say you lose the Yubikey, or you're away from home. How do you deal with that? You still need a password somehow.

   I'm also completely against passkeys. A safe password and a good password manager are way better, they don't lock you into any platform. It's super sad to see all kinds of websites offering you to add a passkey when you log i

   I love Qwant and I think it works better than DuckDuckGo. I can't wait for the European index.

   You can't rename an existing method. It would break compatibility with existing websites.

   I wonder why we left ~ for @. Maybe become some foreign keyboard layouts don't have the ~ symbol?

   YouTube had the same problem. The oldest account have a direct URL in the form of youtube.com/username. Newer account had youtube.com/user/username (I think most account have both URLs). Then YouTube was bought by Google and

    Do it. It's the only truly independent browser left. It's not perfect, but it works, and unlike Chrome you can have full ad blocking with uBlock Origin.

    And that's almost as sad as Discord "forums". It's useful information that's completely siloed out from the public web.

    Speaking of translations, the Italian translation seems fine but it uses English Capitalization of Titles, but that doesn't work in Italian. It should be "Pronto a trovare il tuo ricambio?", not "Pronto a Trovare il Tuo

    +1 for bad experience with OVH, their control panel is a mess (only the Italian provider Aruba is probably worse) and their backend is riddled with bugs. If something is broken in the control panel, the support team candidly invites you to

    I agree with you. I even forgot I used to pirate music as a teenager! Nowadays, Spotify makes it so easy that most people would never bother pirating. Netflix, on the other hand, was good when you could watch most of the things there. Now i

    I'm in Italy. Most people I know have been pirating movies, series and games [1] for 20+ years, via torrents and eMule (yes, eMule is still big in Italy), and nobody ever received any letters. But there's a big exception: as soon

    The problem is that one cold winter doesn't mean we fixed the problem. We need to look at the average change throughout the years, and that's very worrying.

    Yes, but in this case no. The modern features are dark mode, and an "Extract" function in the right-click menu of Windows 11.

    I migrated from 7-Zip to NanaZip, a fork with modern Windows features that the original developer refuses to implement. https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip

    I agree, Liquid Glass is the reason why I'll stop buying Apple products. In the meantime, my Mac is going to be stuck to Sequoia.

    Cannot Graphene just lie to those apps so they think they're running on a Google-sanctioned Android?

    Yes; but usually it's because they embed videos from YouTube or other external sources that force cookies to be set.

    What about just banning personalized advertising? Like: you can pay Google Maps to show your result as sponsored, but Google can only show it to either everybody or randomized people.

    > the graphics are here to stay at least for a little while And that's the reason why I won't buy a new Mac. Tahoe and Liquid Glass are so horrible that they're going to lose customers because of those. They should realize

    In a way I agree with you; but practically 100% of iOS/iPad users are forced to use Safari. Plus, it's nice to have a browser engine that's not Chromium.
