> Eck-Ma-Script I thought this is how it was generally pronounced, it's at least what I say. (It still sounds like a skin disease though.) Is there some other more popular pronunci…

Someone should rewrite this but Rust instead of Java; it would be a perfect meme.

I mean, "web apps" are just PWAs which iOS, Android(?), and Chrome have all supported for a while now. Still, it's nice to see a better push for web, and it's a bit of a reversal t…

Just because it's more secure doesn't mean I want to use it: it's poor UX, especially for those of us who don't carry a phone around 24/7. Even if you use FIDO or TOTP, it will alw…

It, however, does not impact the chance of Google renaming it again. I look forward for the day when we come full circle and they re-name it Google Apps for Business, Government, E…

Out of curiosity, why are people so concerned about Pocket? I personally use it to quickly bookmark things in a cross-platform "i'll look at this later" box (although not a fan of …

BBC's video archive, unless it is extremely popular, is almost certainly not going to be avaliable after a few years. Shows published on their streaming platform iPlayer are typica…
