This is really cringe

I'm really annoyed of websites that are just showing text+images and then load dozens of JS-scripts.

Sure, for some functionality you may need JS, but in like 90% of the cases JS is overused.

GNOME. Everything is really intuitive, it doesn't really feel, like you use a computer, but the computer is an extension of you

These names are too short. Think of all the collisions. Use a full UUID, e.g: {84347ab5-45e1-4801-98fc-685624039068}

Googling your product will always be quite nice

I think Microsoft did a lot more morally and ethically questionable things than Mozilla

Ah well, I understand. Thanks for the explanation!

What's wrong with GTK4?

For gemini I use either castor[0] or dragonstone[1]. Both are quite good, dragonstone even has tabs.

Both are written for GTK, so they integrate quite good with GNOME.

Just some random thoughts with subjective opinions:

  - Too much whitespace in my opinion.

  - Rows instead of columns feel a bit alien and are uncomfortable to use.

  - Missing tooltips (E.g. the buttons with the arrows: Are this upvote/downvote buttons or buttons to change the order of the sections, this is not clear without clicking)

  - Doesn't have a automatic dark mode (Well, it's a beta product, so I wouldn't expect it)

  - Some images look wrong (Firefox 94, Fedora): https://imgur.com/a/bKdTYPj

The news selections is at least for events in germany not that good: A lot of at least for me unknown newspapers, no Spiegel, Zeit, Süddeutsche, ... (Searchterm: "3g bayern")

> Following the failure to renew, the domain then went into a grace period but when that expired too, it appears to have been removed from DNS records.

If I understand correctly: If I had been fast enough to buy this domain, I would be able to break Denuvo for a long time?

Fantastic news!

Sadly the majority of cookie "consent" banners is still in breach of GDPR.

1. If you add a "ret", you just jump to an invalid address.

2. If you add nothing, the CPU will continue to execute the bytes that follow.

In both cases it is quite certain you end with a segmentation fault.(Or in case 2., an illegal instruction)

Can you explain why? (I'm not from the USA) I thought it is one of the best source for news about the US/World (Together with the NYTimes)

Thanks, didn't know that!

But still a part would be down, if a server has an outage. How about a system, where every device that is used for chatting is a server at the same time? I wonder whether something like that already exists. Bundle it together with bigger servers to handle the load. If the bigger servers experience outages, the service can still continue, although a bit slower

Thanks, rephrased it a bit to make it obvious

There is in my opinion a difference between a car and a phone.

If a car fails, people can die. If a phone fails, it normally doesn't have a huge impact.

If a car disables itself, because the central electronics were messed with by laymans, not some repair shop, it is in my opinion totally okay, as it would otherwise endanger humans.

But for a phone/other non-critical electronics, there is in my opinion no reason why its functionality should be reduced, just because you did something harmless like unlocking the bootloader. (In this case, the camera could still make photos, just without the fancy patented/copyrighted algorithms)

Sadly this seems to be the trend of the last few years, that hardware is locked down and you sometimes have to use exploits to have full control over your device

It's probably somewhere deep in the EULA/ToS and furthermore it is shown, while unlocking the bootloader. Whether this is legal or not, is surely an open question.

Ironically this is the only thing preventing a chromium monopoly with probably >90% of marketshare (Although this restriction is still not that great for the user)

I frankly don't think this would make sense. Imagine explaining the people of a country, that they aren't allowed to fly to e.g. Mallorca anymore. The acceptance would be somewhere between low and zero.

Maybe private air travel in one country, e.g. from Munich to Berlin could be reduced, but not international flights without any resistance

I love this font. It looks nice, makes texts more readable (At least it feels like that) and is for my purposes perfect

I agree with you. You would have to find some accurate definition for "What is a democracy?", e.g. look at the freedom of press, freedom of election (E.g. are there any inconsistencies in the last elections), conflicts in a country. Based on a lot of factors you could probably say "This is a democracy" or "This is somewhere between".

But still no good solution.

And criminal would be too far, as such spyware should only be used against extremely serious crimes, e.g. warcrimes or terrorism

Well. If they sell spyware to others, they should at least ensure/check, that it is only used against criminals and by democratic states.

Maybe do some number crunching for science?

To be fair: A lot of usage of edge is probably because MS pushed it so hard with so many dark patterns and often repeated resets of the preferred browser. "Did you try the new Edge", "Try Edge!", ...

If you do nothing: 143,728 deaths, CZK 996B costs, 3.9 to 16 million infections

Full lockdown, except for some weeks: 507 deaths, CZK 2.221B used, 849M school days lost, 25.615 to 102.460 infections

Tracking/Telemetry should always be opt-in. Or at least like:

Do you want to send following data: <Data that will be collected,...> <legalese>:

Big font: NO Small font: Yes

This would be the fairest design for all. Users would be able to make informed consent, vendors get data on a moral good way.
