Again I think you're right that it won't help sway peoples thoughts on the subject _alone_ but in aggregate if all the rhetoric from one side became harder to target by the opposin…

One day it was returning only German results for me despite my region being set to US and language to English. Every search, didn't matter what the keywords were. I was in my offic…

Probably not but I think GPs point is that if the rhetoric of the article was different and better data included then stuff like this would be harder to tear up and dismiss. This h…

> The regular users I know don't even know what syncing is, what the cloud is, what integration is. And that's fine! That's exactly my point, this stuff should have a low barrier t…

I've never heard of these complaints? This sounds much more like typical Linux Desktop issues in my mind. Though at this point Windows 10 constantly loses windows on monitors that …

I don't think there's even an argument that it can compete when it comes to integrations with mobile, other in-home devices, and other peoples data/devices. Yeah it's an issue that…

If we're trading anecdotes about a really specific subset of users here, I know a bunch of "retired people" who also almost exclusively do email, but you know they also like things…

Ehhhh... I don't know if it's the marketing doing its job or what but sifting through DDG and startpage meta pages I just get a better feeling from DDG. It's a little more modern, …

I also switched my personal phone from ~8 years of android to the iPhone after getting an iPhone 6s for work. What a wake up call. > I still use the google bang over 80% of the tim…

What do you think of choices like aggregating GPS tracks from Apple Maps to augment their map data like Google but with the key difference of removing the start and end points clie…

Incredible technical work mechanically, electronically, photographically. Amazing artistic talent and personal drive. 3:19 and 4:22 remind me a lot of a tumblr page with animations…

Seems to me like that's more of a new defining feature of OSM, which may incidentally attract more contributors, but that in and of itself is not lowering the barrier to entry for …

I'm excited about this direction! I do minor contributions and poking around my area I'm surprised by how much of it is done by very few people. How useful it is yet how lacking it…

This looks great! Coworkers don't work in the shell at all though so there's that, but I might use it at times. They're lookin for that syntax highlighted and interactive experienc…

>>we don't believe the administrative hassle of moving the site would be worth the benefit this is so short sighted, especially for software used to admin productive systems

Are you imparting trust on checksums downloaded from the same source page? Not implying you are but there is plenty of software where that is how they expect users to verify the in…

Rather unfortunate that "putty.org" is the first result in searches and looks a lot more legit than "chiark.greenend.org.uk" even if it (currently) links there. I've had discussion…

edit: apparently the exit _menu option_ cleanly closes all windows...woops. I only use this to restart the browser cleanly when I have multiple windows open. I use the "restore tab…

Yeah this is what I was getting at. How many old cheapo security cameras have no or bad IR filters if that was still the standard for ~2012 flagship Android devices...

The pool of respondents are Digital Ocean customers? I'm assuming that would exclude employees of FAANG plus basically all really large "enterprise" businesses. Is that fair to ass…

Don't a lot of image sensors pick up infrared? I don't have any IR remotes to test modern stuff with, but I know my Galaxy S5 and every phone and point and shoot camera I had befor…

How does he square that with the inundation of Netfix originals on the home page? HBO has a handful of quality shows. Neflix has a plethora of random titles, many of which (especia…

I'm not a Snapchat user but doesn't that app, at least on Android, alert senders when a receiver takes a screenshot? You can still take a picture with a second device and that func…

Not that I don't believe you, but I'd love to see a source for this. What banks do this and where do they disclose it?

Can someone explain what this means for BitTorrent as in the protocol and ecosystem? I did not know that BitTorrent the company even existed or maintained uTorrent until this confu…
