I'm only a light user of office programs, both at work and at home. I have access to M365, but for my personal usage I prefer LibreOffice over MS Office, especially when it comes to spreadsheets. I generally don't mind the UI of t

In what ways? I'm still using it the same way I was 10 years ago—on-demand scans of individual files—and it seems to work just as well.

Yes, after that they said that there will be an on-device flow to load apps from outside the Play Store after all. They didn’t describe how that will work and I didn’t see it discussed as commonly as the original announcement; I only saw it

I'm not familiar with Zen, but how do you reconcile that Waterfox frequently lags behind upstream Firefox in terms of security fixes? Yes, you get a perceived gain in privacy, but is that worth potentially exposing yourself to addition

But it is popular! YouTube's preferred format uses opus for most, if not all, videos upload in the last ~5 years (they also offer an AAC option alongside it). Several VoIP services use opus, including Zoom, Discord, FB Messenger, and W

I also think about this sometimes. On the one hand, I have a natural instinct to give away as little personal data as I can, and it intuitively makes sense to me that it’s in your favour to keep as much private as possible; I assume many of

Even though the title suggests this piece is about Firefox, most of it is bashing at Google. The author’s main reason for leaving Firefox seems to be that… others have left Firefox?! That, and the quintessential mention of “AI is now in Fir

Don’t Ecosia/Qwant have their own index now? Do you find Bing better through Bing proper, or just as good through DDG (which uses the Bing index)?

The Claude models seem to be focused on generating code more than anything else. Are they still competitive with Open AI and Google for more general use cases, or have they sacrificed that?
