Most chromium hit pieces come across as evangelical and this one is no exception. From my personal perspective, Firefox gets the job done but Chromium is undoubtedly the better browser. On desktop and mobile, the difference is felt even mor

It has always been possible to open YouTube links on VLC. If you want to do so with even less clicks from your browser, there's a open with mpv extension. Can't link it now as am on mobile.

Not too long ago I was constantly facing this kernel bug [0] that would kill audio whenever system memory would be under moderately high load. It's fixed now but it's kind of insane that the kernel would mess around with component

Major studios give creative concessions to foreign markets like China in order to be allowed into their film market. It was incredibly naive of Netflix to think they were too big that they could ignore feedback and input from strong audienc

Am curious. How do you make calls now? Did you resort to using Whatsapp for calling your contacts? How do you call your grandma back in the village?

I concur with everything the author says here. If you want to visualize this for yourself, just take yourself back to the whole science/anti-vaxx debate we've had the past 2 years. That was a pretty accurate picture of the biblica

I hold my ground and there is an obvious reason why none of the promising anti-inflammatory drugs which have been used in the past to deal with flu haven't seen the light of day. IMO Covid infection was only considered a death sentence

Covid will remain an endemic crisis always looming as you rightly point out with the events in Shanghai. Vaccines and multiple boosters won't stop infections and hospitalizations. At this point, if you are alive we have to assume you h

A life isn't really that simple to define but yes. There are many "sins" external to the creation of life that warrant consideration of carrying a pregnancy to term. Some of them include inbreeding. At that point am okay with

Strange observation indeed. Must be difficult to live in a world where everything is black or white to you. Is body autonomy absolute when you have a living organism inside of you? Is the "hate for women" justified for the sake of

It may be too late to have the kind of conversations you are envisioning with young people raised in this generation. They have conjured up big words and terms that don't even mean anything in the practical sense and will easily take o

Sure, the more recent data will always have a higher value if you are looking at massive datasets. But I think if you look at this problem from an individual perspective. Key data that is unique to them doesn't change most of the time.

You are just wrong. Some of your data such as health data stays constant throughout your life. Especially for guys living with chronic conditions. Your key identifiers stay the same too. E.g your phone number etc. These are then used to re-

All the so-called "docker killers" are essentially unfinished products. They don't compare 1:1 to docker in feature set and even if they run as rootless, they still are vulnerable to namespace exploits in the Linux kernel. Th

Truecaller is massively popular in my country as well. Before I knew any better, I was ignorant of the permissions and saw it as a worthy trade-off since my contact(s) will somehow end up there, if they weren't already. As all it takes

Yeah I don't think the sanctions have moved him one single bit. A lot of EU countries are still dependent on natural gas from Russia, including Germany. I remind you, the war is still days old.

If NATO isn't the reason why Putin is invading Ukraine, then tell us the real reason according to your perspective. Unless you are in Ukraine, you cannot do anything to influence the outcome of this war.

> send aid, supplies, and troops immediately to Ukraine, regardless of the geopolitics involved. How? When Ukraine's borders are surrounded by Russian armies and Pro-Russian separatists now. If you are talking about having done that

There isn't much the world can do now. Calling Putin's bluff on invading Ukraine was the biggest mistake the West made. NATO should have seeked to recruit new member countries from other regions. They forced Putin into action. If

Ironic that this may be the only somewhat reasonable set of sanctions to come from the corpo side yet.

If ad brokers (the Googles of this digital world) ever wanted me to pay attention to them (and their ads), they would give me a toggle to switch ads on and off as I please. As long as a simple choice like this isn't made available to m
