The alternative presented is a laptop with 2008 hardware. Sure, I can do that. But that's not sending a message to the industry. That's just living in a bubble, while still giving Lenovo some money. Don't get me wrong, I love

I doubt we can get Intel to change directly. Most people don't buy from them directly anyway. My belief is that we can get OEMs to consider this a serious issue, and have them turn into a market pressure on CPU manufacturers. After all

Next time I change laptop (which will probably happen soon, my laptop is also a 2007 hardware), it will be a Librem 13 from Purism. I want to send money to a company that cares about this issue, and Purism has demonstrated they do multiple

When you pay for an LWN account, you can create a public link on subscriber-only stories to share them. It's part of LWN's standard mode of operation. On this note, I have to say I'm a proud supporter of LWN. Their content is

I'm not sure why people are so worked up over caddy. The http header "feature" got promptly removed, and the trademark infrigment claim is necessary for them to avoid dilluting their trademark. Furthermore, they politely told

While it's true the firefox debugger is lacking in certain areas, it's also better than chrome in others. Debugging CSS animations is much easier in firefox, but firefox lacks a way to look at websocket packets. One thing I like a

Too late to edit, but that's really what I meant. It's true that windows isn't a monopoly in the truest sense, but it feels like one because of the huge marketshare and vendor lock-in they have.

If you take only desktop (which is what I was thinking about), windows is waaaaaaaaaay dominating the game. Chromebook might as well not exist (I haven't seen one, ever. I'm in europe though), so the only contender is Mac. But wit

And yet, microsoft started incorporating ads inside of windows 10. The business models helps, but if you can both sell a product and get ad revenue, why wouldn't you ? In apple's case, they have a fairly small but dedicated mark

You should look at gitea ! It's much simpler than gitlab, but is also much more lightweight in terms of resource usage. Used it succesfully to host my startup's git.

What about qt ? tcl/tk ? OpenGL ? I'm not against electron app, in fact I think it's a really good idea. But saying it's the only good ui framework is disingenuous.

Out of curiosity, why is "raw" UDP (I guess that's what you mean by UDP without congestion control) not an option ? Security ?

I just read the release announcement and, while poorly worded, I don't see how it misleads or disrespect users. OSS is just that : a promise that users may modify the software to their heart's content. They didn't break that

So far spam hasn't been a problem (I get none). I have spamassassin set up, but it doesn't filter anything for now, just scores stuff. If it ever gets to the point where I get too much spam, I'll probably start to filter it.

This is not true on the actual Google devices (Nexus and Pixel lines) that have a supported path to flash your own rom, and root. Google so far has been supportive of the custom rom community. Some manufacturers ( cough samsung cough ) ha

I am not a diehard android, but i'm replying to you from a LineageOS phone without the Gapps, using microg as an alternative to the google services, and firefox as a browser. Privacy is achievable on Android. However, I do agree it os

I'm pondering on this. I think the idea is to allow ipv6-only users to connect to ipv4-only users -- thus making the IPv6 migration "easier" for, e.g., ISPs that are deploying ipv6-only networks (especially on mobile). But th

Why do you think they believe ms to be evil, and why do you think it is their motivator ? There are practical reasons behind reactos : programs and drivers written for old windows versions are not compatible with newer ones.

I don't know what browser you're using, but assuming chrome : it's not open source either. Chromium is open source, but Google Chrome is proprietary, much in the same way vivaldi is. If you want a truly open source modern bro

Just wanted to say that, annecdotally, I switched from chrome to firefox not because of speed, but stability, four years ago. Chrome would reliably crash on my laptop after opening three tabs, while firefox would let me open dozens without

In addition to what kortex said, the man here could be charged for a variety of things. The police already have damning evidence of the crime, apparently, through the presence of hashes (the dubious validity of their claims notwithstanding)

Sometimes, justice doesn't carry out fully. Cases fail for a variety of reasons. We sometimes fail to charge the guilty. The reason why it works this way is simple : it's better than charging the innocent. What should happen in th
