I feel like you're trivializing a complex issue. Developers have the right to say how they want their code to be used in the same way that authors have the right to say how their b…

I'd recomend qutebrowser. It's not exactly what you're looking for out of the box, but it is very customisable. There's a learning curve but once you're used to it, no need to ever…

This has been going on for atleast a year. There's a long video from Techlore which presents the CalyxOS side of the picture and places the blame with GrapheneOS leadership: https:…

As an Indian living in India, I've heard some of these stories: a. They are asked to get admitted "for observation because they are at high risk". If they ask to leave, the doctors…

Let's rewrite this article in a sentence or two: "Reliance Jio will soon start selling an Android phone which they have called Jiophone next, and it will cost Rs. 3500... probably.…

> making sure people don't need to call. Almost every IVR I have ever used makes me believe business invest in making sure people can't call or at least have a very hard time reach…

> Edge I think that's OP's point. Edge uses chromium.

It isn't technical debt any more if you can default on it. It's stable? It's fast? It works? No bugs have been reported on it for years? Regardless of how I 'feel' about that piece…

I hide the front page and recommendations with ublock rules and go directly to the 'subscriptions' page instead. It's the only way to see new videos from creators I care about.

This is a lot worse than it looks. https://twitter.com/whiteHatSnr/status/1330455721897443329/p... Shame on Whitehatjr and on Byju's. This is outright fraud.

Or... if your old laptop doesn't boot up, you can (apparently) pull out the laptops display panel, attach it to a control board and use just the display independently. This DIY per…

To add another perspective, I purchased a Maruti car in India about 4 years ago. On paper every variant from the lowest to the top has an 'optional' version with airbags. In practi…

Is there really such a difference? Older people tend find excuses to accuse younger people of being inferior. We're older people now. Perhaps we should be careful not to fall into …

I'm in a smaller town in TN. Lockdown was respected, but people have all but forgotten about it now. 9/10 people on the street are no longer wearing masks. I would be surprised if …

Does this article qualify as 'hate' though? The author acknolwdges that he's new to react and is simply pointing out two things that he found challenging. Nothing surprising. Infac…

Seriously though if somebody else posted your secret mushroom spot on the map, it wasn't a secret to start with.

Truecaller is one of those "it just works" apps. It is completely transparent to the user. You can use it as a dialer to make and receive calls. A lot of people don't understand th…

This article focuses on the problems that truecaller poses for 'non-users". As a non-user of truecaller in India myself, I find myself in the minority. It seems I get none of the b…

As /r/showerthoughts once put it: Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time.

That makes no sense. By your logic, Uber drivers should be criminals.

It would be interesting to know the outcome the other way round: still use the numbers and the upvotes in the back end, but hide the up one count from everyone including the poster…
