Won't this lead to this-for-that alliances within the EU and might turn member countries against each other in the long run? "France didn't help us veto a decision we wanted, so we won&…

Unity's (at least when I started using it with 14.04) UX, screen space usage and performance was so good. Global or locally integrated menu bar and making it searchable were great decisions. I…

What kind of pre is it?

aren't workspaces the same as containers? when I right click the new tab icon in firefox it gives me an option to open them in work, personal, banking, etc or to create a new container 3 is also …
comment
4 out of 5 submissions by the user are just ads for their product, seems like it.
@OP, maybe write an article explaining how you do the physical modeling and how it's built and link that instead…

For those who don't want to click through to the main github description:
"Cosmopolitan Libc makes C a build-anywhere run-anywhere language, like Java, except it doesn't need an interp…

Oh nah, I just check the lock icon in firefox, and it's a pretty unusual (and not publically accessible) cert authority so I'd notice if it's a different one
comment
I'm paranoid enough at this point that I check that the Cert authority for my bank is the one I know it to have before I log in on the website.

I really liked this video about it when I saw it a while ago:

It's great that it's VRR. Also I don't think the rounded corners will matter much in practice, might even look cool if the bezels are designed for it!
comment
I much prefer graffiti to advertising.
Sure, I wouldn't mind if amateur tags disappeared, but more intricate tags and mural-like designs that prop up from more experienced graffiti artists are s…

I feel you, people who liked the word "delve" will have to stop using it.
comment
Yes. The old heuristics of if something is generated by grammar and sentence structure don't work as well anymore.
The thing that fucks me up the most about it is that I now constantly have to b…
comment
Misery might be a bit hyperbolic, but I'm referring to the larger scale model of engagement being a tier 0 metric for success. Instagram & cohorts stealing people's attention spans is so…
comment
The big problem with these things is that the people responsible for the misery they cause will not feel any of the consequences.
comment
we can collaborate on this, you handle step 1, i'll do step 2?
comment
That touches on the general dissatisfaction many people have with cloud-first subscription based software. For a service like kagi, it makes sense since search needs that model. When software that doe…

Aw man, thought this was an april fool's joke with how much they leaned into marketing no ads beforehand.
comment
Being the largest shovel maker and the only one with a solid software ecosystem for those shovels(?) during a gold rush will do that, huh?
comment
I thought that too, but it seems like you need a tethered cloud PC somewhere at meta to open apps after all.
comment
Oh wow, that's pretty hardcore.
comment
Sync has no problem with lots of tabs - I routinely have multiple hundred open on multiple devices and firefox sync just does it's thing without complaining.
comment
Yeah, no. Everyone who knew of this needs to be hold personally accountable and serve jail time. And not just some low fall guy, but the managers, higher-ups who could've known of the report. In …
comment
I think GP's point was that it normalizes having cameras pointed at other people at all times while you're wearing it or similar devices. I see a much bigger issue in this regard with the me…
comment
This is one of the places where the US has a better naming standard than us in the EU imo. Just feels much more intuitive to count up with Bi, Tri without doubling them up every time.

The tires, rubber emissions account for a decent chunk of ocean pollution.

comment
Honestly, as someone who isn't an apple fan and uses a quest 3, this is still very cool. Obviously a first-gen hardware product, but the software and UX seems on point. eye-tracking and hand trac…

Oh my god, this is something I've wanted to make or see made for a while now! I'll definitely be using this, the design looks straight forward and good too! Any way to self-host to get aroun…
