Orion indeed is a decent option for the privacy conscious as it is one of the few browsers that doesn't make any automated connections on startup (with the right config). But, if I remember right…

Not sure that Americans (or even Europeans) don't (or wouldn't) care about it. What I have personally observed is that there is really a strong moral dichotomy between western politicians …

Huh? Did I misunderstand you - many torrent clients today allow you to download a file sequentially?

I understand. In this particular case, I am making an assumption that they aren't really using any new OS API's (this is, after all, a reasonably simple app) in which case they could just bu…

From what I have observed, apps built for macOS Mojave (64-bits) or macOS Catalina all work fine on the latest versions of macOS. So I guess you must be hampered with App Store requirements ...

This is just an extension of the increasing censorship and government / BigTech control that we have been witnessing in the past few years, with Google seeking the ability to prevent installation…

I have heard the camera modules get hot and degrade as they weren't created to be always ON in smartphones?

I chuckled at, "And, yes, it can run Doom!"

Thanks for offering this app outside of the App Store too. Why don't you support older versions of macOS though? Does this app really rely on any new macOS APIs that it has to be built only for m…

Yes, in most cases. Or are you specifically asking about Paracetamol?

I hear this a lot online - buy used enterprise stuff online, it'll be cheaper and lasts long (at least you get your money's worth). But when you start to explore the online market for these …

Same here. Only bookmarks, with regular backups (export). And tags - lots and lots of tags to easily find them again.

> "high quality scientific evidence" Mostly, unfortunately, funded by Pharmaceutical companies - ADHD Nation: Children, Doctors, Big Pharma, and the Making of an American Epidemic ( ht…

You miss the point - a larger population isn't necessarily good if most of them are not economically productive (i.e. don't have skilled working class). Are people supposed to work even in…

That "peak prosperity" thing is actually capitalism gone awry in my opinion. I'd include India too here - a common pattern that can be seen in all these three Asian countries is the unh…

And it was an international project - the British were involved too, before the Americans suddenly cut them off.

I doubt if Apple CPUs / GPUs outperform AMD CPUs and GPUs but yes, there have been a lot of these "AI" mini-PCs suddenly mushrooming everywhere - https://www.gmktec.com/…

To add to what the parent comment said - Lithium is also prescribed for some mood disorders. So if you are thinking of self-medicating with it please be aware that it can mess with your brain chemistr…

A quick look suggests strong typing and that's a huge plus. The syntax is easy to understand and read, but I hope it will be consistent - if writeInt, why not writeStr etc. too?

This should be a wake up call for India (and other countries), to create laws, to assert its "Digital Sovereignty" and stronger Data Privacy laws (including forcing data to be stored local…

It's an indication of how much the political landscape of the middle-east has changed. Prior Arab leaders had a sense of pride and independence about their region, and even stood up to the superp…

Moral justification - it becomes food for someone else thereby giving them life.

Pakistani military is famous for its claim that the people of our region don't have the "temperament" for democracy. Sometimes I am amazed how far we indians have managed to tenaciously…

Are these crushed chicks also processed and sold (for example, as animal / pet feed)? If not, (I am wondering) why can't you just release them in the wild - in some park or forest and let na…

Seems like we keep reinventing the wheel - the previous version of of HTML, XHTML ( eXtensible HyperText Markup Language ) is a direct subset of XML. Also, related - Mozilla Firefox used to have somet…
