I'm tired of too-smart browsers, I want a dumb one.

That is a very good advice, thank you.

You can use let's encrypt... until you can't. And then, after all browsers had deprecated HTTP, it will be time to seriously rake all website owners for certificate money. It is pretty brilliant, if you ask me.

Let's not forget the inherent elitism of thinking everyone has a gigabit internet at their disposal. I happened to live in a developing county for years and this "waiting up to half a minute until the program opens" has been

tldr: no, but yes. It logs app certificate requests which in real life is pretty much equivalent to logging app runs. And that line about only calling the server from time to time is bullcrap. I have years of experience on this issue becaus

It will probably come in a bundle, along with a copy of Half Life 3.

And probably a ruse to amass application usage stats.

That oscp server must be compiling a huge set of stats on application usage. That doesn't sound right, privacy-wise.

Probably Linux has drivers. You could set up a network printer with a raspberry.

But this is operated by humans. Gmail uses a glorified Perl script.

Well, I'm honesty happy that my experience and the experience of the people around me is not universal. Maybe our education system was crappy when I was a kid. You gave me hope.

Do you mean "gnome 3 lucky" or "KDE 4 lucky"?

That's not better.

Ah, the old "too many boring bugs, let's rewrite instead of fixing them (this time in rust!)" adagio.

I said it before, any education before college is training. Seems like I hit a nerve, as I was downnvoted without explanation. We all went through school and high school, we all know they only want you to memorize the answers, no critical t

So that's why George R R Martin is taking five years to write his last book. He's out of diskettes.

Given that modern humans carry Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA (and who knows how many other subspecies DNA), I prefer to think we humped them to extinction.

That sounds like paradise. Where do I have to sign? I’m tired of crapware breaking on every “upgrade”.

Pity. I really liked rubymine, and while I used it legally, I really dislike abusing the DMCA like that. Time to search for an alternative.

When I had the authenticate with watch option enabled, and for some reason the watch lagged, the Mac didn't allow me to log in with my password or finger.

Any education before college is training, not teaching. They train you, like a dog, to pass a set of exams. Learning something in the process is irrelevant for the "teachers".

In the article you can see chrome deleting Apple's local storage, but not Google's.

Not being able to set a "home" in maps unless I consent to be spied is another shitty behavior from Google.

Why is anyone using linux? Or mac?

But there is an entire world outside the US. I trust my local ISP way more than a US corporation.
