You shouldn’t expose a public profile for accounts that were private before anyway. Is that move even legal? I’m pretty sure it’s not GDPR compliant.

I’ve been playing with it in the last two days, and while it’s a bit annoying to have to deal with CSS for UI instead of XAML and the recompilation cycle, the framework is impressive. A lot of things can be done without touching JavaScript

Also OpenRA is an engine so is supports Dune 2000 to some extend. This game is less famous but I love the tactical opportunities offered by the various type of soil.

Yep, and this fiasco was easy to predict: of course nobody (enterprises and hobbyists) would rewrite decades of legacy code to a platform that 1. wasn’t supported on the most deployed Windows version at the time 2. didn’t provide feature pa

The Windows platform is extremely fragmented since Win10: not only there is different API and execution models (Win32, UPW) but also each new Win10 build brought new API that were not available on previous versions. Even as someone who prog

Sweet spot as long as you don’t want anything basic like using colors. In my experience Markdown has been about as much painful and frustrating than helpful.

Because that’s the political trend in the Western world: if the reality does not fit ideology, then try hard to bend it by being vocal and bulling people that don’t agree, and get power in institutions to push them to the mass. Basically th

That’s exactly what I would do. It’s very similar to people asking you to fix their computer for free when you have tech skills. Ask money (even just 5€) and 90% of requests fade away. The one that remains are willing to pay (and more than

Yes, it’s a pain. However there is a solution to open an UTF-8 CSV file (with Data > From Text and a few clicks), but it’s true that googling something like that is out of the mind of most people.
