> Just in case you want an even more vintage experience. Just to clarify, it's not about "vintage experience". Xfce is deceptively simple - it gets out of your way and let you do w…

What are you talking about? Author is talking about user experience, they way changes (as far as user is concerned) Do Not Happen (much), how they don't try to invent new UI paradi…

Sure. Or we could say that when someone is used to the way things work, one is reluctant to change and will find all kinds of "faults" to keep them from taking the plunge. As I sai…

It's not that I don't have my own set of gripes about linux, but this wishlist is weird, at least to me: - There is nothing wrong with sudo - or to be precise, it is good thing tha…

Just tried it... Couldn't figure out in 5 minutes how to add files to a playlist. Pass.

So how do you validate the data? You can apply all the changes to existing record and validate the result, but then you need to put everything in memory. Verifying the operations h…

This app is using "local storage" (storage that is local to your computer), not browser "window.localStorage".

Not sure what the point is here? My point is that OP is not afraid of new tech per-se, but instead doesn't like where it is now and finds it dangerous. I'm sure in time the technol…

It seems that OP isn't so much fearful of new technology as they are fearful of dying (and killing others).

Good for you! As they say: face your fears, live your dreams. > ...this may have come also from my interest in psychology, who knows... Do you have a good recommendation where to s…

Actually you can override it, but they made the process so convoluted and privacy breaking that I would guess not many people use it. So yes, effectively they blocked it.

Why "security problem"? The wording is telling: > ...for various reasons, including security concerns. Security is just a red herring. Who wins with this move? The cynic in me (who…

It's not "pretty standard", but we're working towards it and it looks like a pretty great solution. Our problem is that CI job runners sleep most of the day (low number of commits)…

I'm reminded of Isaac Asimov, who has built a whole range of stories on the 3 principles of robotics, with many situations arising where reality didn't match how the creators thoug…

Uncharitable or not, but it is true. Even with some improvements, git UI sucks to this day. Linus didn't care much about the chrome and had a special aversion against anything that…

Mercurial wasn't (at least for the projects I used it for).

If you are on Linux, just run xeyes. Classic. :)

That sounds doable, but... why opensource? Does this mean that people / companies are not prepared to pay for the product or service?

Or it's a filter. No need to send anything if you are unsure.

Sorry, but this is bullshit. If I employ relevant techniques to protect my domain and the protection works , and I am not sending spam (which I am not), then Google (no idea what M…

No, would that help? I am however using SPF and one of DKIM / DMARC (I forget which). But anyway, I can live with a mail missing here and there. It is just annoying and isn't right…

I hope so! I am tired of explaining people that it's actually Google's fault they didn't receive my mail. I'll be happy when they pay dearly for the disservice they do to e-mail.

Fair enough.
