What. The article reads just as an ad for clouds. It tips into the benefits, ownership problems, setup. Then it says "but how do I share photos???" and this apparently is enough to counter all benefits. Even if I had to (and this

I mean, going by that argument a username + password is also just obfuscation. Generating a unique 64 byte code is even more secure than this, IF it's handled correctly.

I heard so often that it's outright dangerous to run when you're sick. Does anyone with knowledge know whether this is true? The general vibes of this thread gives me the feelings that it's more like a inconvenience than stra

Not gonna lie, I actually have canceled many service because of this single reason. If I get the feeling they want to hide these options specifically to keep me in a subscription, I immediately feel the urge to cancel even more, and also it

Thing is, keeping children out of Instagram, Facebook, or whatever new social media is hyping currently will probably make them kind of weirdos in their bubble, e.g. in school. At least this would be my fear (don't have children). And

I mean you're right and you've said it yourself already, but in comparison to try Play Store there apps from the App Store are like double the quality on average. Because most of the extremely low effort bs is kept out. I still ha

To be honest, it's not like Google doesn't know this. And it's not like it should be surprising to us that Google just ignores it. They know they'll lose some sales, but the few percent of people who'll buy a Pixel

I am amazed about people geniunely arguing about the article. It's obvious from the first sentences that it's either sarcastic or just a person without a lot of knowledge about anything he or she is talking about. I still loved to

What does this have to do with anything here? File a bug report, or try to find out the problem yourself. Or ask in a Forum. Or, as you did, switch browsers, if all of that is not worth the time for you.

Yeah exactly, this was exactly the idea behind that. Unfortunately, while on paper it just sounds like a sound idea, at least IMO, though ineffective, it has proven time and time again that the WOT idea in PGP has no chance against the lazi

I don’t get it either. I stopped reading when it said the third time „this isn’t hard at all“ at first. Like, there are so many redundant and incredibly short sentences, I had a very hard time to read. The whole message of this post could’v

If you call putting text together that reads like an assumption, then yes. But it cannot express assumption, as it is not assuming. It is completing text, like OP said.

I actually would think less of this as a look back into the past but hopefully as a real alternative to the current DEs, which obviously then needs to have high res fonts. That would be nice.

I mean this could've happened with a human counterpart too (although, I know, less likely, but still). You probably gotta be at least a little more descriptive and specific about the task.
