Problem with Android is the amount of devices that will never get updates. How many devices are there in the wild that have yet to be patched against stagefright? I bet it's over 50%

I don't feel like typing much because it's nap time but IRCv3 is an almost closed group of friends, mostly znc core developers, who have decided they can choose what the future of IRC looks like. They have put lots of pressure on

There are boards and boards. And even in the worst boards there are good threads. It's a culture of its own, though.

You mean, remove opacity from the body... Such a great idea, though.

I don't speak English natively, and any corrections are welcome. On the other hand I don't run a multi-million business based on writing comments on Hacker News so currently hiring a PR person to proofread these comments is not wi

So much money they are making and they can't hire anybody who can write English properly or write a PDF that is not composed of a handful of font faces and sizes. I also find it funny they have fired the CEO (the PDF does not say he st

I thought he said "Spanish" meaning "a local source", not "a source in a language other than English"

If the government had to subsidise them, I bet they'd make sure the prices were reasonable.

1TB is not a lot. I download around 300GB a month on my 10/1 ADSL line, and I don't even watch HD video or stuff like that--it's mostly torrenting of software/movies. I'd probably go over 1TB if I had fibre. That sa

by tarancato 10y ago
Because rolling out a fibre network is very very very expensive. People who think they are entitled to certain speeds, data caps, or prices, don't understand this. That's why Google Fiber is reconsidering their investment. It simp

They mess with the chronological order of my timeline and I'm grabbing a hatchet.

by tarancato 10y ago
Yes exactly. It's embarrasing. Those tweets are just removed from your timeline and there's no way you can make them return. For someone like me who follows just a few people and intends to read the entire timeline, it is very ver

I'm going to expand on this. There are two distinct annoying features. 1. The one you're talking about, messes up the chronological order of the timeline completely. That one is called "Show me the best Tweets first", in

There's no way to disable that feature.

Twitter chose this long list of liberal-leaning associations to "police" the community. I don't think it's a conspiracy-like accusation to say their moderation leans to the left. https://blog.twitter.com/

If you have a moderality complex UI, by making it responsive you are going to ruin it. That's why most serious websites with complex UIs don't bother with responsiveness and have two different interfaces.

I doubt it, they had an XMPP interface, but that doesn't mean they use XMPP in the backend

Semi-offtopic: this is what the front page of Twitter looks like for me. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s5LeMVvmcJ0/V_UeJYgxG6I/A... There's this and two more tweets, in rotation. They are three sports-re
