Where I work all the juniors try to use the git cli because the Internet has them thinking that using a GUI is looked down upon, but they don't even bother to learn the cli very deeply so they fail, break things and make messes. One gu

The Mac OS is very clearly and objectively limited compared to Linux or Windows regarding the amount of control they give you over things. I could list many of them in detail, for they are numerous but they range from the small, like the fa

It’s not about tinkering. It’s more about control and having options for working the way you like instead of Apple’s way. I can’t imagine accepting such a limited environment. Unfortunately, thanks to iOS, I still have to build and test thi

What do you do when there are no concrete examples or relevant scientific facts at the time? How do you counter a conspiracy theorist when they then also point out very real conspiracies that have definitely happened and are well-known and

I was just looking into how hard it would be to build a Twitch clone, given that Twitch is declaring war on it's viewers by forcing unblockable pre-roll ads. Many people including me have just stopped watching Twitch because of the new

I think that instead of trying to counter echo chambers and trying to change everybody's mind with moderate content, we need to strengthen them and stop making people clash. The problem with social media is that it isn't enough li

It doesn’t matter. Chrome and youtube-dl are both downloading a video and letting the user play it. Youtube-dl is nothing more than a specialized browser. If Chrome does something, any other piece of software is allowed to do it.

Sounds like a Fedora problem then. Pick a different distro - problem solved. There is nothing so special going on in Fedora that can’t be done in other distros. Try an Arch based Linux desktop. You’ll get newer packages and better package m

Wow, you can’t even use sign in with Apple if you “Show Apple or its products in a false or derogatory light.” Who decides what’s false or derogatory?

Thanks. How many filters are there in total? We could still have an extension that splits lists up into 30k chunks. I’ll gladly install 10-20 extensions if I have to, along with a master extension that handles cosmetic filtering.

According to Wired [0] > the new API will limit extensions to 150,000 rules each, a big jump from the old limit of 30,000 rules per extension Couldn’t someone make separate extensions for each block list and break them into 150k chunks?

It’s been said that you have a whole new body every seven years. Perhaps teleportation is just a matter of speeding that process up.

I'm much, much more interested in the ways we're going to use law to limit what Apple can and cannot do though. If Epic can't get it done, another big lawsuit will certainly come along. I hope we can force them into allowing

As a matter of fact, you can see here [0] that 72.4% of the 57k developers who took the survey primarily use Windows or Linux over a Mac. This is certainly in line with general desktop OS market share statistics [1] showing that Macs are on

That logic is perfectly sound. When something becomes ubiquitous it certainly does become the obvious thing to everybody. That's why in modern times it's more obvious for people to toast bread in a toaster and not in a frying pan

There has never, ever, ever been a time where most developers bought Macs. Ever. The vast majority of software developers have always been on Windows. This is true worldwide and in the US. Only in certain fields and places like Silicon Vall

When 90% of the other computers on the planet do it differently? I’m pretty sure that I can make some assumptions about what is going to be obvious to most based on that alone.

by wayneftw 6y ago
Yeah but, typical Apple, instead of doing the obvious thing it does something completely different. It back spaces instead of deletes!
