It's all part of the war on general computing. This dystopian nightmare is coming to desktop operating systems too. See the age verification stuff that's all of a sudden being pushed hard by countries all over the world. As someon

When I created an account on LinkedIn, a long time ago, I used the web. When it asked if I wanted to invite other people from my list of contacts, I clicked yes. I thought it would let me manually enter some contacts, or at worst, give me a

But because they had an existing body of code that was not class based, it would be more of a re-write (C#) versus a refactor (Go). I don't understand this reasoning at all, and I'm hoping you can shed some light on it. As far a

Speaking as both a D&D DM and player, the "sub-optimal game play" makes the campaign more fun, more diverse, and offers more thoroughly enjoyable role-playing and problem solving opportunities. It doesn't make it less

Most of Apple's Weather app works OK for me, except the precipitation map/animation takes ages to load, if it loads at all (it's about 50/50). I usually hop over to AccuWeather instead, which doesn't seem to have th
