Cloudflare has become a middleman and gatekeeper of the web, a single point of surveillance, and an enemy of the open internet. Giving them more business would make these problems …

Some time back, I had a similar problem: the LineageOS Messaging app was frequently late with SMS notifications when the phone was in idle state. Adding the package to Android's de…

Those are touchscreen actions, uncommon in desktop apps. Did you forget that this thread is about avoiding Electron bloat? (Also, it has a theme engine. The buttons don't look like…

What is the expected price range for registration and renewal under this TLD? Will there be any assurance that renewal prices will remain fairly stable, rather than being significa…

That much is obvious. Just in case you didn't mean to be snarky, I was asking what the custom firmware brings to the device that allows using it to rip blu-ray discs that could not…

My Wayland pet peeve: It still lacks keyboard LED control, so unprivileged X11 programs that use the Scroll Lock light as an indicator cannot be ported to Wayland. This Plasma chan…

The first time I saw something like this was in a music-focused virtual world from the 2000s. Strangers would strike up conversations with each other, dance (in some cases to well-…
