    Not sure what you intend by this, but yes, that’s their goal. The same people put on a “Trump was robbed” act for the Trump voters and a “Trump is robbing you” act for the Democrat…

    Think about users who don’t maximize the window, for whom centering to the screen, not viewport, would just be broken. It’s right to center to the viewport, and right that you’re a…

    Anybody know how to get Safari to “sanitize” on shutdown (delete cookies, cache, etc), except for whitelisted domains? After lots of fiddling I’ve realized this is probably the bes…

    Victim blaming is a form of self soothing. If you can get yourself to believe they deserved it, then you avoid feeling that the world is dangerous and you might get hurt too.

    Not only. Others include LibreWolf, Waterfox, Zen, Tor, I’m sure others.

    Speculation is good for finding more questions to ask, not disregarding evidence. That LLMs harm your odds with some hiring managers is evidenced. That LLMs help get you through pr…

    Anthropic is massively bigger than a studio, Zig is massively smaller than Unity, and it wasn’t a quiet switch, it was a huge publicity event. It’s more like the #1 movie of the ye…

    Thank you for taking this stance. It is the mature, intellectual, and virtuous one, and with it you are on civilization’s side. The US is currently in a very bad place politically.…

    To be fair, where this applies is specific countries outside the US, not just outside tech. Very few Americans own a smartphone and not a computer, and they are mostly poor and not…

    Huh, yeah, I’m not seeing it there either. The macOS app is what I checked previously. iOS-only users might be able to see it at 1password.com. Weird inconsistency.

    I think it’s basically recalcitrance. Same as they suddenly turn into the world’s worst devs every time they have to make software for Windows. Apple hates mouses, but many people …

    1Password does do full previous versions. It might be a newer feature, I’m only seeing passwords, not full versions, prior to 2018.

    It doesn’t, it opens Apple Music. Apple has a longstanding problem with giving their own apps privileged roles that they don’t expose to competitors. What concessions exist in brow…

    This should be at the top. It pisses people off because we reflexively think “I’m not a weak-willed procrastinator” or “I’m no addict” or “it’s not that simple”, but it is the trut…

    The first amendment is indeed concerned only with the US government’s interaction with the matter, as is appropriate, but that does not imply it’s without other limitation. Your li…

    I agree in theory, but this is so extremely far from the US political and social system that I think no nation has ever changed so much without being overthrown. So unless you’re t…

    > To not be indistinguishable from "strictly necessary" there would have to be a case where the "functional cookie" actually required consent, right? The case is when you don’t use…

    Strictly necessary cookies don’t require explicit consent, and generally can’t be rejected. Functional cookies don’t require additional explicit consent if you actually use that fu…

    This is already what LibreWolf does for most of its fingerprinting protection, including resolution, which you call out. It already works, LibreWolf is the only browser besides Tor…

    This is misinformation stemming from disinformation propagated by organized industry retaliation to the law. Cookie banners are not and never have been required by law, they are in…

    Genuinely, I’d recommend you spend a day manually verifying every AI answer you otherwise would have just trusted. I suspect what you’ll find is actually that you cannot bring your…

    This is going to be unpopular here, but life became easier when I quit trying to write semantic HTML. It’s just poorly designed, I’m sorry. Every time I’ve reached for a I’ve event…

    Every single macOS update the top comments are about giving it six months to stabilize, but when a program’s biggest ever rewrite involves a lot of AI, the top comment is calling y…

    The known/unknown question is not separate in the real world, computing avoids it by asking binary questions only when they’re answerable. Considered generally, though, if I ask a …

    It’s phones, mainly. People do also have multiple other devices, yes. For me another big pro is having a realtime offsite backup and being able to survive simultaneous loss of all …
