That ship has sailed. A far as most are concerned gmail is email. So that is now the reality. Google has successfully, without any resistance, assimilated email and the web. I run my own mail and I faithfully avoid chrome as much as I can b

The README mentions that C# was used initially so I'd be surprised if that support is not still in there.

Plenty of reasons to continue using WinForms for quick and dirty utils. WinForms has had a major cleanup over the last few years. Issues with DPI, multiple windows are mostly gone. You no longer need VS2. vscode on its own is excellent, and

FYI - You don't have to drag the app to the applications folder in the install window. You can drag the app to a different location. I have an entry level mini 8GB/255 GB SSD with 1TB external SSD. Everything goes on the externa

Is this not Trump's usual negotiation strategy? Start with outrageous, totally unacceptable demands and then slowly dial back while everyone else runs around like headless chickens. Ends with him in a much better position than if he h

>Guess what, that’s how the content is paid for. No. Just because you say that this is how it works does not make it so. That's total rubbish. Yes, advertising works. But it works on hope, that's all. If your hope costs you mon

The big win is using standard markdown. If they disappear, you still have your content. The other big win is it's truly cross platform. I initially used syncthing to keep different systems in sync but switched to their sync service. Sy

I did a double take when I saw the lettering on the news. I'm not a designer but am aware that the black art of kerning is a thing. It's bad and deserves to be called out. That said, I suspect that most are not going to notice un

In closed systems, e.g. bacteria in an agar medium petri dish, the classic population size goes through exponential growth, steady state, and finally the death phase as the medium is depleted and waste products accumulate. If we map humanit

Really? Opinion, based on the fact that there are basic improvements that can be implemented on what we have now, using the skills that we have now. If you don't agree, that's ok. Now, about your comprehension skills, where is the

My, very limited experience with LLM assisted coding is that it depends... For basic frameworks done in something like Python it is very good, but not perfect, yet. But the iteration cycle to get to where you want to be is still faster than

pretty much this, you go where they have setup camp. For instance, I have one tech group that uses telegram, the dumbest tool for a tech discussion that you could choose, but there they are, so that's where I checkin now and then. I d

I can live with that. By blocking Firefox they would self identify as user hostile in the same way that google has done with V3. I think this would a huge step forward, a massive shit filter.

I'm comforted by the thought that like me, most people with nothing to say are determined to let us know that. So I was never really bothered by the belief that everything online is being stored somewhere, because I was certain that th

We have kernel level anti cheat systems for games. So how about kernel level anti tracking? Browsers use system calls to provide the information used for fingerprinting the device, so why not intercept these calls and lie. Have all users pr

The problem goes way beyond domain squatting. You have a limited resource, say nissan.com, and you have several valid claimants. Who gets to decide what's fair? First past the post? Heaviest pocket book? Biggest stick? Popular acclaim
