I would never use a bank that is app only. Sounds like a horrible experience.

Honesty? Sounds like investor hype to me.

Yeah. Try comparing texts written in Old English and Old Norse. It's basically the same language. (I'm not surprised at all that Beowulf takes place in Scandinavia.) But I think they would both be easier to decipher for someone sp

There are strong indications that Half Life 3 (or at least a Half Life game) is coming soon. Of course, Valve might decide to pan the project, but I wouldn't be surprised seeing an announcement for 2026.

I have good news for you: if you prefer running a PWA in your browser of choice, you can. Nothing forces you to install the PWA.

How? Do I need to configure something in uBlock Origin? If I go to, e.g., Reddit I still see the annoying "Open app" button.

I am very much interested in local-first/only (backend-less) PWAs, and have built a couple of them myself. Unfortunately, I don't think I have any use for a time-boxing app. Nice work though. Is there a reason you went with localS

Nifty. I've long wanted a scrollable/zoomable desktop, with a minimap that shows the overall layout. Think the UI of an RTS game, where instead of units you move around and resize windows. This seems like something in that directi

No, I think you misunderstand how it works. The problem is that task 4, as you call it, runs after the navigation triggered by the redirect value. The the author expects the side-effect -- navigation to a new page -- of the window.location.

Agreed. After starting my new job and coming back to Python after many years I was happy to see that they had added `match` to the language. Then I was immediately disappointed as soon as I started using it as I ran into its weird limitatio

If a child is, e.g., two standard deviations below the norm, it is cruel to expect it to keep up with the pace of other students. Education can be better adapted to the child's needs.

Cute, didn't know it was a thing in Chicago! I suppose wormwood is an acquired taste, but it's one I happen to like. They still put it in many different bitters here in Sweden.

I immediately realized what "Chesterton's menace" alluded to, but you lost me at 'Tamarians' (thanks for the explanation!) I guess I could start calling such a situation "HPsquared and schlauerfox on Chesterton

From the README: > Currently, Asterinas only supports x86-64 VMs. However, our aim for 2024 is to make Asterinas production-ready on x86-64 VMs. I'm confused.

I think that might be quite common. In Swedish we have morbror/farbror (literally mother-brother/father-brother) and moster/faster (mother's sister/father's sister). It's similar for grandparents.

When I was in the army I switched to holding my assault rifle right handed because I was near sighted on my left eye. (Not getting the casings ejected onto my right arm when they later gave me an LMG was an added bonus, man that gun was poo

> that doesn’t change the fact that morally and ethically we value human lives equally. Do we? I can think of many counter examples, and I'm sure you can as well. How is this a fact?

What makes Skyrim not work well at all for you? I haven't tried that game, but I know for a fact that Fallout 4 works quite well, and it -- like Skyrim -- has a gold status on protondb.

I am a Firefox diehard. Also a web dev. As such I agree that Firefox refusing to implement things like WebSerial and WebHID is shooting themselves in the foot, and will only drive more users towards Blink. You could have made your point in

How were you poisoned? What happened to your kombucha? When I make kombucha I am quite careless in the process, but it always turns out fine.

Yes, meat being the driver is the more common (and simpler) explanation for our smaller intestines and larger brains. I guess plantbasednews.org just accidentally left this alternative explanation out. That said, fermented foods could very

I only got a cookie banner on the first of those links, and as far as cookie banners go it wasn't very annoying; I clicked "no" and it went away immediately.
