Luckily the FAQ already mentions why this is a bad idea. > Please note that due of the hardware of the raspberry pi, harmonics ARE generated on 3x, 5x, 7x and 9x the desired frequency. Those harmonics are polluting important services lik

I personally have no issue with having to log-in to use the hosted Jitsi and have it store that I created a room. That's a small price to pay for the longevity of the service. If logging in is an issue, you're still able to selfho

The dedicated Streetview app was finally killed because streetview is already integrated in regular google maps. To me, that seems like a good reason to discontinue the dedicated app. I don't get the reasoning behind this article. Half

You're saying that vegan people have to use milk alternatives like almond milk. Which is certainly not the case. What a non-argument. Also, the problem with milk is not necessarily CO2 but CH4.

I find it hard to believe that not showing video previews from links is a breaking issue for a lot of users. But I get your point that Matrix is kind of complex in some ways. Federation surely doesn't help to combat complexity.

It is quite normal that things break on the Windows Insider Preview builds from time to time right? I'm pro Free Software, and therefore anti-Microsoft, but isn't it possible that, because of the changes to URL requests, they just

You should read the rest of the article and realise the author actually agrees with you. The comment you are replying to is taking the quote out of context.

I agree that Matrix is quite complicated. However, adding new features doesn't have to make it that more complicated. I get the impression that it's not that bad as most new features are actually based on existing parts of the pro

I think the argument made is regarding tracking. If I understand this architecture correctly, the use of a proxy would mean reddit can't correlate your browsing habits, as they'll be correlating all browsing habits of people using

I'm not sure on the 50%. I didn't even know there was a separate tax. It seems unlikely to me as weed is still 'illegal'. The police won't look your way if you use it or sell it in shops. But everything that happens

I see that as a minor UI change. The context menu is still there. Renaming and reordering stuff happens all the time in software.

I don't see this happening. As long as the app that's buggy doesn't have more than 33% market share I doubt the media would write it down as the system as a whole having the bug. Thought I am disappointed by lazy tech article

What a buzz kill. If I understand you correctly we shouldn't have expectations or constructive criticism on stuff we don't directly pay money for. I think that's nonsense. Does this only apply to certain opinions? You are not

That is because the same happens every year. Even a bad AI or child (using OPs example) can plan for that. But when it comes to events that happen sporadically markets seem to have issues where most sane adults would be able to handle it.

Great conclusion. This video could have been summarized in 10 minutes though. For the most part, no real information about the problem was given. I guess this is just how YouTube documentaires in 2021 are.

That text is unreadable on low-brightness monitors. The contrast between the background gray and the text gray is quite low.
