Why would non-technical users want computing under their control? Isn't the market going the other way, more and more towards walled gardens? Seems like a Chromebook or iPad would have far fewer headaches for the typical user who just

If someone is going to naively brute-force your login screen, it's safe to assume they're going to look at the sign-up password requirements anyway. Nobody is just going to throw the whole unicode character set at your password fi

You mean the horribly imprecise date wheel of doom thing? https://i.stack.imgur.com/ms5tX.png That's the one UI control I hate the most. Please don't do that. It replaces 3 seconds of typing 1 (tap) 15 (tap) 1969

(Sorry for the slow reply! Your response made me want to dwell on this some more before answering.) One, whatever my replies may be, I am by no means either a purist or an exemplar. I appreciate delicious foodlike products as much as anyone

It's less about transparency and more about the culture. Developers sell deliverables and marketing consultants sell attempts. As the GP said very few are actually willing to charge based on conversions, because they know they won&#x27

Distributed, decentralized projects are great, when they build up the infrastructure in a way that respects existing network traffic. Yes, DNS is distributed and communal, but it's cheap only because it's minimal. Caching a few va

The digital marketers I've known typically just configure ads in marketplaces not controlled by them, plus use questionable (both in terms of ethics and impact) SEO practices and dubious statistical analysis of poorly verified third pa

Wow, that requires a lot of fingers. It's like an OS and fighting game all in one.

You think Microsoft, of Ribbon and Clippy and full-screen start menu ads, and 20 different control panels for the same settings, does UX testing...? The same Microsoft that can't decide whether normal users prefer Windows, Windows Phon

You hate your users and love watching them shake a fist at the hardest captchas.

I think you're leeching off someone else's infrastructure and using it to do things they never meant it to do. Sure, the technical capability is there, but your use case would drastically increase their costs. You are essentially

It was meant in jest, but if you must take it seriously, my opinion is that veganism as a movement has largely been coopted by high-gloss, low-impact "plant based foods" marketing that follows all the aesthetics and few of the val

Ah, thanks for explaining! Sounds like pitfalls of going with a custom design. Do you think it's a necessary tradeoff? Are other laptops with custom designs subject to the same internal engineering mistakes?

They did a plenty fine job demonizing themselves. A generation of police trained to be militarized against our own citizens and unaccountable to the law, covering each other's misdeeds up with routine impunity? Maybe it's time to

I noticed that Mapbox Studio has a way of creating & exporting styles (kinda like stylesheets but for maps). Do you know if those styles can be imported into a libre renderer like Maplibre, or if a similar tool/ecosystem exists for
