Let's hope that abject consumerism that makes you downvote this will also give you cancer.

Presently there is no additional cost to choosing a smartphone with the right amount of memory for one's specific usage pattern, so who's being "niche" makes no difference. Linux o…

Bad user experience depends on the user. Personally I very much enjoy the somewhat lower price of less-beefy models of smartphones and tablets — as I'm not obsessed with taking pic…

This saddens me personally, as I once worked with this guy; he is very productive and talented developer. Imagine how god-awful he feels now, threatened by police and forced to sto…

I'd like its source code to be extremely hackable and easy to understand / build / debug, quite unlike Mozilla's present day codebase (which I personally find very hard to figure o…

It's spelled Israel, FWIW.

Kivy is a fun little library, not without its quirks, but overall I felt comfortable with it. In particular, it's nice how they built everything around GLSL shaders, this allows fo…
