Because Apple influenced them. They copied Apple’s model because Apple had been getting away with it, and will likely have to comply with whatever new regulations might result from this.

It would be great if the biggest vendors and mail clients would implement things such as email verification (certificates) and the encryption (gpg or similar), and made it as easy as encrypted chat in iMessage is.

The advice I have for you is to try opening Teams in Firefox or Chrome instead of the Electron app. It seems to be more responsive from what I can tell. The native browser notifications are nicer on my multi-monitor set up too. It’s always

I’d love to see search decentralized and have been toying with this idea for a while. The last concept I hacked together was a custom search plugin for Grav and a command line util to use for querying. It goes like this. Use the command lin

This is a start on cloning the late great Server Admin app from Mac OS X Server into a web application. It's incomplete functionality-wise, but you are able to click through all of the setting panels for each service. Link to blog post

Implementing CSRF doesn’t stop an outside party from finding out that you have (for example) an AppleTV inside your network. The device will still return a HTTP status code. You could legit spy on end users this way. A real boon for ad tech

I left Toledo last year and moved to the east coast. I was one of maybe three of my friends who was left at that point. It could be a really great state, but the dying lake and dying industrial economy really wrecked the place. The area nee

I really like that you explained the algorithm and decisions you were making instead of just ploping code some on the page. Well done!

Just wait until China figures out next-generation nuclear power generation and eclipses what the US is capable of. They will. Because they don't seem to be concerned with the BS talking points like our bubble-brained climate "scie

He’s right, environmentalists don’t want solutions, only perpetual problems. It’s why I can’t take any of them too seriously. They like to say stuff about how we need to fight for our lives over climate change, after that group set nuclear

I’ve use PW before and it’s not too bad. The API is really great and so much nicer than working with WP custom fields (etc). The only downside was the back office... a bit dated (looks like something from 2009). The way the CMS works and th

I’m totally with you. I couldn’t imagine having to live for 20 hours in a plane. Of course, this wouldn’t be a thing if we had supersonic flight.

This. Trade deals like NAFTA totally destabilized (if not disintegrated) industrialized regions of the US. This may not be the only cause of suicide, but it’s part of the story for sure. The coasts don’t care, they seem to celebrate it. Wha

I can’t answer for everyone in the Midwest, but from what I saw, no one trusted HRC. And if you were paying attention, it was revealed that politics “is like making suasage,” and that “you have to have a public position and a private positi

The Midwest sees educated people as an inconvenience or a threat? Goddamn. Where did you get that idea from? Clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about. The problem is that it’s stagnanted over here. NAFTA destroyed the way of life

Higher education is turning more and more into over-priced crap. I’m not sure that this is the solution.

It's not about the government, it's about the oligarchs. The US governmemt is a puppet, and the ventriloquist are the oligarchs. I see what you're saying, but I suspect that the oligarchs that actually run the US do not like

It's a combination. Plus it seems like the region has replaced manufacturing with never-ending construction. I don't live in Detroit, I'm nearby in Toledo.

Glad you're enjoying it! It's got a loooonnggg way to go (I never realized how many small but vital details are in a file explorer application), but it's strangely exciting to see it draw itself on modern macOS, especially on

Agreed! I think that this behavior may have been one of the truly novel principles of classic Mac OS. IIRC, you even used to be able to just swap the System folder around and have like a completely new/different install of Mac OS.

You could always replace your usage of the modern macOS Finder with my poor and very incomplete clone of the classic Mac Finder. :) https://classicmacfinder.com

You're kidding me, right? It seems like every mainstream podcast is supported by ad money from mail-order mattresses or mail-order meals. The NoSleep Podcast is the only one I've heard that dresses these ads up a bit. Even then, I
