Exactly my use case, and why I haven't made the jump from Enpass even though I was excited about Lockwise.

As much as I loved my Nexus 4, there's no denying its camera and battery were quite poor. I wouldn't call it the best phone ever made, even at its time

Why would you think that? The virus is going to hit way harder in dense cities than in rural areas, and cities heavily lean towards the left

Funnily enough, back when I was doing improv at school/university, I've found a great portion of the people there to be among the most self-absorbed people I've ever met. A lot of them were genuinely funny people, but there w

Another big difference is the freshness of the content. The "modern web" will bury anything that is not new or trendy and make it virtually disappear for everyone that isn't looking for it specifically. On the "old web&q

Most privacy advocates don't defend it because it allows you to scheme against the government, they do it because it protects people from falling too deep in the net of actors that would try to influence their behaviour. I agree that y

Spotify was the 2nd result under Apple Music when I searched myself, though I have both installed so it probably came down to that

Better upgrade to a shiny new CPU to run all that pesky Javascript, then!

If it complies to the spec, it's by definition valid syntax and suitable for production. Now whether or not you want that in your source code is totally up to you. Just because you can write your whole app in one line of JavaScript d

There's a game exactly about this coming out soon named The Last Night, you might want to look into it http://oddtales.net/

I personally love https://www.codingame.com/ , but it's geared more towards university students. The challenges get pretty hard, and they all pretty much gravitate around game AI if that's your thing. The cool thin

In my case, it's not that I don't trust Google's cloud security. It's the unknown third parties they sell my info to's security that bothers me.

True, but it's nice to be able to use the newer features of your framework as they come out. Positive QoL changes in an API are always welcome

I don't agree. react-router has changed enough in the last 2 years to throw me off quite a bit when I started a new project

I don't think we're suggesting that Facebook is responsible for the loss of democracy rather than being an agent in the process.

Moto is absolutely terrible at updates. My Moto X Play that I bought in 2015 just got its update to Nougat (really?! Oreo is already out). I can also count on one hand the number of security patches this phone had in the whole time I'v

That's precisely what Mastodon is going for, but I feel like the added complexity (i.e. choosing your instance) is a showstopper for the masses

I use Dropbox, but I might switch to Mega in the near future. The better storage capacity and leaner UI speaks to me. I haven't had any issues with the sync client so far either, though I've only tried it on Windows.

Well they have me because Google Sync doesn't seem to work half of the time and/or takes forever to sync on all of my devices, and OneDrive and iCloud don't have clients on Linux (really?)

My favorite is Dropbox. "Store all my personal and/or corporate files on some third-party server?! DOA."

That's pretty much how I'm approaching social media as well in my twenties. I'm barely posting anything anymore on Facebook, but the Messenger groups I share with 10 or so of my closest friends are alive and well. I guess I j

I don't think we'll see the N64 classic for a while. What makes the SNES stand out even today is that it's home to some of the most well-designed 2D games out there. Games like Chrono Trigger and Super Mario World are still r

Meh... I prefer his approach. Teaching Scratch to a bunch of kids for half an hour would just have ended in them thinking "that's cool... but what is it for?". They would still have no idea how programming relates to the real

The point was that while the code frame has a dark theme, the webpage around it still blasts you with light, which causes the strain. GitLab doesn't support themes across the whole website (yet?)

Or maybe it's a bit of that, but also a lot of being part of the establishment is now considered enough of a vice.

I wish I could switch to Firefox, but I'm really dependent on sync features and I just love Chrome OS on my chromebook... Are there any solid solutions for Firefox <-> Chrome syncing?
