There should be a name for the fallacy: "You don't need React to do <simple thing> therefore you don't need React". Let's just call it "the React fallacy" because everybody always picks on React. It&

Nobody has yet identified any malicious code in the repository. How do you prove that the person hacking the website is not an associate of (or the same as) the person running the website? If this were proprietary software then the software

Either way, nobody should use this distro ever again. It should be forked from a known good commit under a new maintainer.

The diagnosis is valid but the prescription is incorrect. The solution is not to use fewer colors, but rather to take advantage of the 3D space of color perception. Good themes have a hierarchy. Perhaps red is for keywords and blue is for s

Gamedevs have not forgotten that Apple attempted to get Unreal Engine banned from all their platforms, thus rug pulling every game built on top of it. It was only the intervention of Microsoft that managed to save Apple from their own tantr

Compared to the 90s, all the systems that existed to live without the internet have disappeared or been degraded. There are no more paper phone books or phone booths for example. If I want to apply for various government services I have to

This may work on boomers but for younger people 90% of the use of a phone is for messaging and obviously you don't want anyone listening in to your private conversations especially for sexting. People are not going to stop sending each

Yes you can, it's called civil disobedience. Sovcits are stupid because they break the law but don't know it . Civil disobedience involves breaking the law with full knowledge that it's illegal, to protest injustice.

The first past the post system works reasonably well for two parties. But now we have more, it has broken down. Even with the most advanced statistical methods we now have no idea who would win if an election were to be held tomorrow. Eve

I can see that future generations are going to think that I'm boomer for preferring the performances of real actors instead of AI slop. The music industry already went through this with AutoTune and we know how that turned out.
