That 150ms is especially important if the tool is running in a loop in a bash command.

The gdpr agreement form on websites usually requires you to enable 3rd party scripts and cookies otherwise you get hit with endless popups about it. Someone should make a browser extension that automatically denies every gdpr popup.

Modern websites use the screen width to show you mobile vs desktop view. But before CSS had good support for responsive web design everyone had to create a separate website for mobile and put it on m.website

Been using Firefox on my desktop and its amazing. For some reason the mobile version is incredibly slow to load pages though.

Maybe a global general social network simply can't exist. Maybe the people who are not on the network are just as important as the people who are. Facebook is full of people we don't want seeing everything we post. Reddit these da

Amp websites often don't even work for me because the site owners were unable to get it working in amp so they give you this half baked crap.

I haven't tested it but google shows a lighting bolt next to amp sites so maybe the custom amp websites dont get the bolt.

I have been using only open source apps for the last year. For basic stuff like podcast streaming and IM the Foss stuff is better than the proprietary stuff. For complex things like maps and assistants its like taking a step 5 years back in

They won't solve every issue posted to it though. Also microsoft does things differently to Linux distros. Hardware manufacturers have to make sure their devices work with windows and software devs have to do the same. Canonical accept

Still feels a little dated but if I had to guess when it was made I would say 2010.

Works better on more screen sizes. All standard web tech; no flash/Java/browser specific things. Less clutter and visual distractions once you block adverts. Also much much easier to navigate with a consistent design guideline vs

The org that they send from will legally have nothing but patents so they are safe from counter attacks.

Proprietary software just wouldn't have a bug tracker for you to use.

This wouldn't be an issue if support charged for the amount of time spent. If the user spends their money getting stupid non issues looked at then thats their issue.

Also a lot of the bugs will affect such a tiny percent like users with some obscure Bluetooth card trying to use some uncommon feature. Ubuntu could spend all year closing obscure bugs and almost none of their users would benefit.

Its also good to see if something is a bug and not user error

Rough terrain on bikes was already solved with suspension or larger tires I doubt they managed to create something that worked better than that.

Google randomly locking out users seems to be pretty common. I have had them randomly lock me out of google docs files for "ToS violations" only to have the file unlock a few days later. Ever since that happened I stopped using go

You can set a list of fonts to use and the browser will keep trying until it finds one that is installed. Usually the last one in your list is serif or sans-serif that always works.

I use umatrix and it makes things way faster. The local news website can run with 30kb of JS but without umatrix it loads 9MB

Site owners were given freedom for a long time and they consistently chose to do the wrong things with no sign of ever stopping. Now browsers have to step in and moderate them.

Its all open source so someone can get it running on a cheap android device if they want.

Thats why async systems like issue trackers work well. Also has the benefit of having everything written down and searchable.

From my understanding, its about putting people down if you perceive them as better than you.
