It predates Windows 8. More like copy the worst of the iPad imo.

It doesn't happen very often any more, but when people always used to ask why I didn't like GNOME 3 I'd just point them to the devs' own words on the mailing list: https:/&#x…

FreeBSD does! You can rescue yourself from this with mtree. Something like: > cd / > mtree -U -f /etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist > mtree -U -f /etc/mtree/BSD.var.d…

Not as much as Phabricator does :) https://phacility.com/phabricator/

They have to offer perks because they will work you very hard. You will learn a lot, but you will almost certainly face a lot of stress too. For some people this isn't worth it.

Having worked with her? I’m sure many current and former colleagues of hers frequent this site.

It will teach others. No need for the sarcasm.

You're more likely to cancel when you're done watching that one show. They want to continuously give you a new reason to keep paying.

> Microsoft was so slow to support USB It's hard to agree with that when there was a version (the first of two) of Windows 95 available with USB support at pretty much exactly the same time th…

Packix.com uses this for paid iOS jailbreak tweaks/themes! This is what I get if I try to install a tweak that I haven't paid for: https://i.imgur.com/RpomgNa.jpg …

My mind went to the Kerberos implementation, despite the slight spelling difference: https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal …

It's super weird that there isn't a single result when I Ctrl+F this page for the word "union". Bojack's animators unionized, and four months later their show was canceled. A …

The linked page displays nothing but "You must log in to continue" if you don't have a Facebook account. I searched around and found this news page that explains it: https://…

Or with my iOS jailbreak :)

It’s a paid feature for YouTube. They want you to pay up for background playback, so they won’t risk the free version being too convenient.

This is one of the reasons I jailbreak my iPhone =p https://repo.packix.com/package/com.alwayslatesttimelinetwit... …

This seems like it will just start a cat-and-mouse game with Google releasing Chrome updates to break their extension, like Firefox's "extensions.installDistroAddons" toggle. Also I ass…

I just ordered a copy and am looking forward to it. Thanks for the recommendation.

KDE has the best HiDPI support I've seen, but I don't really care for KDE itself and as soon as I step outside the QT ecosystem all bets are off.

I've experienced plenty of that dangerous unquestioning extremist fervor from progressive/LGBT circles too.

I appreciate your comment, but my experience has sadly been the opposite of what you describe. Perhaps I've just been unlucky, or maybe I just come off as an asshole, but people in Bay Area LGBT …

I think the gutting of middle America is a big part of it. The most talented people are forced to leave for the coasts to make the most of their capabilities. This hurts both the leavers (like me) who…

I understand how it might seem obtuse and undecipherable, but it makes it so much more genuine and heartfelt to me. You can’t fake the experience of somebody who can channel that style of deep 2000s I…
