Right click is often blocked, but Shift+Click is not.

It's nice but could you make it so that the rotation direction can additionally be toggled by holding down shift while clicking? I find it very irritating to always move the mouse to the bottom right corner to select the rotation dir

Nokia actually bought Qt to help them make a modern GUI, and had Qt/QML ported to Symbian S60. I was fortunate enough to develop a few apps on it back in the day and surprisingly - it didn't suck. QML remains to this day superior

Operators charged per MMS sent. And MMSes were much more expensive than SMSes. I was a student back then and won an early premium Nokia phone with camera in a competition. It was cool for taking pictures for my own use. But I literally knew

90% of Twitter's revenue comes from ads. Advertisers are reportedly abandoning the platform en masse, and the rest will follow once Musk does his next stupid thing. No amount of layoffs is going to cover the dissolution of their revenu

Open source does not mean public domain. Open source specifically attaches limitations on how the code may be reused.

How come? When people contributed code publicly they attached a license how the code may be used. Is training an AI model on this allowed? I think there's a fair, important and novel legal question to be examined here. Patent trolls us

I think a distinction should be made between a foundation and a charity. A foundation uses an endowment to fulfill the agenda defined by its charter on the society. Only a small portion of the foundation's capital is used each year, as

Facebook also touted this. But they would never do it, as it would almost immediately spawn a competing copycat substitute service that would receive a massive userbase for free at its inception, risking creating a formidable competitor. Or

This article paints an overly gloomy picture because it is certainly possible to make plastic recycling work, like my city has already done. It is of course always preferable to try to reduce waste than need to invest in recycling - that

I intuitively believe that free will is incompatible with determinism. This seems to be a very divisive issue - many people seem to strongly believe that free will is either an illusion or readily compatible with determinism.
