Not being in a position to bully everyone else really improved their attitude. Microsoft is my friend now! They wouldn't abuse us if they were on the top again, right? ------------ Sent from my Windows 10 Enterprise computer https:&

I can't find the article but I remember reading how Google is closing the platform more and more. That's the reason why many people are forced to use MicroG since things are routed through Google Play Services. So in many ways you

That's why I only use Android with ROMs like LineageOS where I can block apps from opening on startup and running in the background (you also get more granular permissions for free).

Isn't a "little" insecure having to rely on random kext and random internet files to run your base system? Or are they always open source or something? I know very little about MacOS

I would be even more worried about DNS/domain hijacking if the HN stories I hear are true. Not only technical issues but social engineering of the domain ownership. Whatever you do (custom domain or not), you're always exposed.

It's just EEE, they'll slowly introduce better features (with a colossal marketing budget) and after they gain the userbase back they'll close it down. Until I see a solution for this problem I'm not going to advocate&#x

Some login servers that you go through, like Skype's, share the same IP address that many "anti-telemetry tools for Windows (10)" are blocking.

I see. For some reason it was updating the database but not the software itself. I had to dowload the installer again.

I think the network effect is too great to ignore. I would guess the number of potential contributors you get just by using GitHub, where many people have an account and know the workflow/UI, is bigger than any other place. 5 years fro

And it has to keep up with Gnome/GTK too. I heard it's not easy.

I don't know much about licenses: is Matrix and/or the protocol safe from Facebook, Google and co to pull the same thing again? Feels like EEE is inevitable when these companies allocate resources to provide a better UI/UX an

Couldn't they do a "freeze" with backports just for the LTS? My experience with non LTS versions were always awful so I don't see why a rolling release model would be that much worse.

Sounds like Postgres could use some initiative to make the experience easier/faster for beginners and new deployments (if popularity is something valuable for them). That's what many people value in MySQL apart from the familiarit

Let me guess, it will follow the Google tradition of making it painfully slow or resource intensive to use on Firefox.

And you start fearing what they might remove next instead of eagerly waiting for new features. It's like using Google products.

The times I had problems with GA was because of some uBlock rule or weird A/B tests (I assume) or caching, clearing cookies and site data fixed the problem.

Not sure it's related but a lot of Google's sites are terrible on Firefox and Edge. IIRC they are using polyfills for some heavy stuff (if you assume no malice, that's probably the cause of many problems). https://
