I too find this to be a hostile action against the user. It's my computer.

I'd like the option to disable checking for updates back, please.

So open source is generic, and personalized interfaces are profitable. Well then. I guess now is a really good time to be running an app store.

I like small phones. Wife has a 6" screen and would probably go bigger though. She didn't think a 5.5 was big enough.

The problem can be anywhere downstream of the can. After a vacation, I pulled 12 out of a cleanout T in my yard from a house-sitter we won't be using again...

I run KVM VMs on devuan and could not be happier. (flame backspaced out, you're welcome...)

Perhaps modern life allows the issues to be explored honestly and openly, and that makes you uncomfortable.

Surf is great if you want one very slim browser for reading and some other fat browser for webapps. I've been really impressed how much more advanced surf is compared to dillo.

Yeah, I occasionally connect a linux laptop on both networks (ipforwarding OFF) with an http port open that exposes my fileserver mounted on the laptop via NFS. If that's too hard,…

Sure, but my XP and 98 boxes are not on a WAN connected network.

Or, preferably, simply seen as a childish use of rockets and nuclear energy while the tech is being used productively elsewhere.

There's also a disposable culture around the resources involved. A mentor of mine always says "You can have it, but if you break it then you get to keep both pieces". Without value…

You are comparing a force for good in the world to pushing sugar water. Sugar water OBVIOUSLY depends heavily on branding and advertising. Things that are more substantive can and …

I would much prefer them to stay small, tight, and focused.

Yeah, no kidding. I donated (a few times actually) to cover hosting costs, not to make wikipedia into some kind of lifestyle brand. This is wasteful.

I get the distinct feeling this is from some busy body with too much free time looking to make an impact... Change for change's sake is bad. Think of the tech debt.

That's because people have hands and throats, weapons and weaknesses. You simply can't stop a killer operating at an animal level unless it's stopped while in progress. Stopping or…

I'm pretty ok with linustechtips and benheckshow ads for this reason. It's done by the host IN the program, not some post production splicery that can be abused long after the cont…

Does your boss have a neice that can fix your arm bootloader? He probably has one that can fix your windows bootloader. This stuff was "dark arts" that we committed to muscle memor…

Apple was only popular (this millennium) when they were making the BEST PC you could buy, and they did that by tracking with intel's latest and greatest offerings but then intel hi…

The first refund was for someone who said it "wouldn't stop running". It's electric. There is no engine to run. Isn't it supposed to just sit and do it's own thing when you walk aw…

I completely disagree. Please don't go 5 over in places with pedestrians and stoplights.

Going slower would accomplish the same goal, save fuel, increase safety, and probably lots of other things that will look nice in the marketing brochure for this feature.

If the only way one would get caught doing that is if they were doing it at scale, I'd say the law was working PERFECTLY. The repeal should be repealed.

It seems to me that US domestic interest in excluding foreign objectionable content mean that the DMCA safeharbor provision's days are numbered.
