You can also ensure that not many things change over time. My parents have been using Linux for over 15 years and they love it. Mate looks basically the same, as do most of the app…

This how it works or most people in the world. They get a phone and they change it only when they are forced to (hardware failure, some app they absolutely need stops working etc.)…

I'm not claiming that there is no use for Jack. I just think that this is a niche and doesn't require a separate connector in every smartphone. Having a universal connector that ca…

I personally know absolutely no one with a dongle. I know many people who still use phones with jack that are not using it (or have earbuds). I was using wireless headphones before…

There are other problems. I personally encountered this issue with Netflix: https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/community-netflix-and-hulu-remo...

I have this thing called salary that I get for contributing code (it's even better - I also get it for doing other things!).

And yet, they are probably responsible for 50% of users. My parents, my sister and some of my friends are using Firefox not because they did research but because I recommended/inst…

List of things I have to do on new Firefox install is getting ridiculous. It's probably time to look into forks or one of the WebKit browsers...

The worst part about donating to Mozilla is that donation is not used for Firefox development.
